Better late than never, I guess. Put this down way back in 2016 for really no reason at all while the other games in the series kept getting released and I just never tried to catch up. Finally beat the game earlier this year, and finished my NG+ Nightmare run today to finish off the platinum.

After finishing Sky FC and SC years ago, I expected this to be more of a world building title to introduce ourselves (and the characters in the game as well) to Erebonia, which is exactly what this was. While I still found it mostly interesting throughout the game, it's obvious that there's a lot more here to set up future titles, which is what I'll find out shortly since I've already linked my save to CSII and started that game. The platinum, like every Trails game, is filled with missable trophies and almost assuredly requires a guide to collect everything, most notably character notes, books, and hidden quests. Also to note is the bonding trophies from each character - I managed four on the initial playthrough and set it up to have the other eight choices ready to go at the end of the NG+ run.

Anyway, it's time to keep catching up. I still haven't played Sky the 3rd either so I'll probably do that after CSII when I get the chance.

Get over the Barrier

Wait wrong game

Halfway through my own nightmare run to mop up the plat.

Still one of my favourite cliffhangers in recent memory

CS3 tries to do a similar cliffhanger but it comes off more like the Halo 2 ending where my reaction was I can't believe they ended of the game right there
