Do you have any specific hopes for the rest of the Trails series?

Mine is that Mueller Vander becomes playable in a title again. He's my all time favorite character from the series and Trails into Reverie kinda baited us into thinking he'd at least be available in the Reverie Corridor

My only hope is one day I'll find the motivation to actually finish all these games.

That there are only two more titles after Horizon to conclude the story. I've held off on starting daybreak since I hear that daybreak 2 really just spins the wheels.

Other than that, remakes of SC - Azure would be great.

1) whenever we get a final arc (I'll believe the next one is it when it happens, they've changed their mind so much on stuff like this) that it focuses on the existing cast and giving them satisfying ends to their stories rather than introducing a whole new group right at the end.

2) The end isn't the end. We've spent so much time with this world and these characters, would kinda suck for it to just be it. Like I don't need another grand 20+ game storyline. Let's just get some fun one offs once in a while that check in one everybody. Go on an adventure with Estelle and Joshua, solve a case with the SSS, etc.

This sounds like an amazing idea actually

I feel like that just won't be enough honestly. I could see 4 more games being the end, but two? I feel like we haven't even met half of the enforcers/Anguis at this point

I still wanna meet them S rank bracers they mentioned all the way back in Sky FC.

There are two more story arcs left with minimally two games apiece but more than likely four. That suggests eight to ten games to go after Horizon II.

I imagine the final arc will center around Leman State because it's been obvious that Bracers are the heart of the series.

It's kinda crazy how it's been like 12 games since they've been mentioned and we've yet to meet one other than Cassius, who technically doesn't even count cuz he's retired lol

Also I'd love to see Toval and Ein Selnate interact. Toval just comes across as one of the most normal cast members so to me it's hilarious he's involved with her.

That the cast of future games is smaller and the story is darker. Meaningful plot events that actually have an impact to the story and world. Trails through daybreak was a good return to form. Trails through daybreak 2 unfortunately reversed course again.

I prefer the smaller casts since it gives each character more screen time so more time to develop their own stories and character development etc. Cold Steel 1 was great, but let down by Class 7 being too big and not developed well enough (exceptions are Fie and Emma by the end of CS4). Cold Steel 3 was my favourite of the cold steels, but overall its story was let down by too many cameos stealing the spotlight and not giving new class 7 a chance to shine

this is a problem with way too many games and not just trails, but I really hate when the protagonists and antagonists are staring eachother down and talking at eachother, and then the antagonists are just like cya later, fuckers and teleport out of there. It happens in like every single chapter

I wanna see what Eins got. I wanna see her 1v1 McBurn or something. And I want ouroboros to be the main villains again, at least for like one entire saga. Having them operate in the background was fine and all but were supposed to be nearing the end of the series so they need to step it up

Also, I wanna see whats in the engine room on the church airships

I'd be surprised if they did 8 more after Horizon after the reception of daybreak 2 and the subsequent pressure to wrap up the plot afterwards.

I'm 3 games behind and it feels like an eternity to even try to start them when I have other games I need to play too.
