Coming off of what I felt was a mediocre game in Trails Into Reverie, I was hoping for Trails Through Daybreak to be a fresh coat of paint on the Trails series, and it delivered in the best way possible. Something I was hoping for was just a slightly darker/more mature arc, and right out of the gate you could tell that the maturity level was raised from the prior arc with the introduction of Van and how his job as a spriggon isn't exactly the most law-abiding profession. The characters were likeable, although some hit harder than others. Van, Agnes, Judith and Aaron were all really great, but Feri, Risette, Quatre, and Bergard took some warming up to. My only major complaint about the characters is that I felt like Bergard joined the party very abruptly, and it felt like he was a guest character from his entrance to the end of the game, to the point where I hardly utilized him. Speaking of characters, it was refreshing to see a few characters from (literally) 8 games prior that you haven't heard from since. That really adds to the world-building that the Trails series is so good at. And even Fie, who I wasn't a huge fan of in the Cold Steel games, was a great cast member in this game. The combat is the best part of this game. There are some people who like action combat, and some people who like turn-based, but in this arc, you get both. While the turn-based combat is where 90% of the focus is, there is still a lot of satisfaction in knowing that you can stay in action-combat mode through underleveled trash mobs to keep the pace of the game moving. Having played the Sky FC Remake, the combat is definitely more refined in that game, but for a first crack at the hybrid-combat, Trails Through Daybreak delivers a fresh combat experience. The story was nothing short of excellent. Falcom (as usual) does an excellent job of leaving several loose ends as you go through the story, but ties them up so well at the end of this game. I love it when Falcom keeps you guessing, and the guessing never stopped in this game. I've heard mixed reviews about the next installment, but regardless I'm excited to jump in, as some games that the community felt were sub-par, I've felt were superb, and vise-versa. I'm sad that I'm almost caught up with these games, as I've found so much joy in this series that I feel like the world of Zemuria is a living-breathing place that's constantly going even when I'm not. After I finished this game, I said to myself that I would absolutely play it over again in a heartbeat, and while Sky SC holds the top spot for me still, Trails Through Daybreak is right below it. In order of least favorite to favorite I would say it's: Zero < CS2 < Reverie < Azure < CS1 < Sky 3rd < CS4 < Sky FC < CS3 < DB < Sky SC.
I will split the review for Trails fans and casual JRPG players If you're not a Trails fan... what are you doing here??? Go back and play the damn series from the beginning. Albeit this was clearly intended as a jump point into the series please, do yourself a favor and ignore every recommendation of "where to start?" other than Trails in the Sky 1, in this series EVERY game has many references or are strict sequels to previous games in the series. If you're a Trails fan... Ok, let's begin. I have to be sincere, the story is BAD, most of the new characters are one dimensional/pastiche of previous characters and the music is -for the most part- forgettable. The only redeeming quality are the gameplay (it's a nice evolution) and the writing (it goes back to a slightly more mature tone, still not at the level of Trails in the Sky but one can dream). And now the question I always want to have answered first: Does it advance the metaplot in any way? Nope. I know it's hard to rate a game that's the first part of an arc and we all know Falcom develops the arc in pairs. Do I recommend the game then? Yes, to Trails fans. If you have enjoyed/suffered the 10 previous games then you will find here enough to like. I'm not expecting miracles here -I know it's a shonen- but we know this team can do it, we have seen the sparks before.
Daybreak was fantastic! Really enjoyed Van, and I loved how his story tied into the bigger Trails lore. Loved the new Calvard crew, and they fit right in with what I'd expect from the rest of the series. This one’s definitely worth your time if you've enjoyed the other trails games.
The start of a new saga, and it couldn't come soon enough. After five Erebonia games, the Trails series really, really needed a breath of fresh air. This feels like a (very much) needed update to the series, bringing the engine, systems and game feel in general to more modern standards, even if it means a lot of steps back were also needed. A new setting, a new group of characters, many new systems - including a more complex orbement system that does a lot to fix some problems of the Cold Steel systems while also, unfortunately, killing many of its strengths. - and even a new tone for more than a few things, dealing both with a more varied setting, some real world problems, and gray areas. This is very much a new start for the series, with a couple hiccups, but still very strong and promising.
