The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero (PC)

Starting the year off with a bang in what is definitely my favorite of the... Is there an accepted term in the Trails fandom for the first games in each of the individual arcs? Calling them prologue or setup games or something like that feels harsh considering how expansive they still are, especially in Zero's case with how much happens. Whatever. The point is that between Sky FC, CS1, and Zero, this one is definitely my favorite.

Having the game set exclusively in and around one city gives it a very different feel than those others that I think I largely prefer. Crossbell is an interesting setting, providing a nice natural environment for the rookies of the SSS to get their feet wet in the seedy city underbelly and political corruption issues before everything goes wild at the end. Everything else is pretty standard Trails goodness - likeable characters, great writing, fantastic OST, lots of interconnected teases for later on. I know a lot of fans call Azure one of the best games in the series if not the very peak, so I'm very much looking forward to getting to that one... Probably this summer.
