Trails series is like xenogears if they had actually made all 6 episodes.

This series has plot woven through 9 games!

Isn't it generic animu plot with school children saving the world?

Not really, but it's up there. One of the best worldbuilding too.

Maybe it's not the best written story ever but it's my favorite. It's got everything I could ever want from a video game series tbh

It has by far the best worldbuilding

I would say Nier and Nier Automata have better stories but those are far shorter. Trails is far more ambitious
If Trails can land the grand finale, it will be magical

Is there any word on the direction of the remainder of the series? Like how many games are left?

Nier and Nier Automata

additionally, the series dived off a cliff in quality once it hit the cold steel games

Nah. The story is pretty basic, with it's use of politics being the only somewhat different thing about it. It has great world building and characters, though.

I love trails game, they are amongst the best In my book, but the greatest RPG I have played has got to be Suikoden 2.

The thing is the story ties alot with worldbuiding, overall while it is basic (compared real unique storytelling like planescape or disco elysium) it still at least above average for me, with tons of part that adds up and become one of my favorite series ever.

The worldbuilding is legit great. Basically there isn't really anything like this in video game.

The closest comparison i can draw is actually cosmere novels by Sanderson. It is really simillar in format.

Trails ruined video games for me. I don't even want to play new video games any more because I know I'll never enjoy anything as much as I do Trails

I love the games, but there are tons of untranslated games out there that are original and even better.
