oh yah

It'll be Trails in the Sky on Steam. The first one is guaranteed. If I love it the way y'all do, I'll keep going with the rest of the trilogy. Won't do a playthrough of Cold Steel probably but we'll see.

Don't play it. It's generic JRPG.

i'd say it's more "traditional" than "generic." it excels in every part of the jrpg formula

not really. loh just feels like it has an identity crisis because it just doesn't really know what it wants to do and who it wants to cater to and just ends up a big ol glob of mediocrity because it tries to do everything at once without really doing any one thing well.

that is extremely not true

Anyways, Trails is probably the most generic RPG I've ever played, but it's also one of the best.

that is like
the opposite of what it did
it set out to be a pretty standard JRPG but executed that really well (unless it goes off the rails in the last third or so and I haven't gotten there yet)

To be fair, I can see the broad scope of the game/story being interpreted as a lack of focus on the series' part.

And I mean I think it juggles everything quite well while still maintaining a strong focus on the central characters, but if you don't think that then I see Crispy's post making sense when viewing the game through that lens.

Might not be the most compelling gameplay wise, but still a solid series.

I like the Trails gameplay actually. It's no Shin Megami Tensei I guess, but I'd say it's probably above average as far as RPG's go?

Actually I will say this may also depend on what Trails games we're talking about. I've been assuming Trails in the Sky, but I do actually agree with some of the complaints in this topic if we are discussing Trails of Cold Steel. Qualitatively at least, although I probably disagree with the severity of them and what it means for the overall quality of the game. (At least for Cold Steel 1 and 2 anyway. I have not played 3, and the general consensus among people that have played seems to be that it's a noticeable improvement.)

I didn't like Trails in the Sky much, and agree with the notion that it was relatively generic and didn't do much especially well. It was pretty good at setting but didn't have the characters or plot to make me care, and the gameplay was mediocre.

Haven't played the rest of the series.

See, it's for that reason I'd only guarantee a playthrough of the first game of the trilogy should this get to 500. There's a chance I might not love it.

Also need to tag this on my personal device account...

I mean I don't think the games are perfect or anything

The games biggest problems imo are bad pacing (especially when you're not already invested in the world enough to appreciate the slice of life moments, so biggest problem with the first one you play) and a formulaic plot structure.

But the things people are saying in this topic about how it 'doesn't feel like it knows who its catering to' and 'tries to do everything at once' just doesn't make any sense to me because that's what I feel it nails the most and it's why I like it.
