Since this site seems to have a lot of JRPG fans I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky game for PSP? I read a couple of positive articles for the game and decided to check it out, although I just started the game I think I'm really enjoying it. My only issue with the game is the game mechanics, and I don't mean it in a bad way. I'm not sure what to reference the battle system from? Most Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest games I can just look to previous installments and find similarites in the battle system or at least some form of familiarity. This being an XSEED game, I haven't come across another battle system like it. The only reference I have is a cross between Radiant Historias visual attack queue and party attacks like Suikoden. There is also a FF7 Materia crystal-like upgrade system for special abilities and attacks. So actually, it's like 3 games, possibly more. It comes off to me as kind of odd. As for the Anime part, so far it's your standard boy and girl character start off in small town then venture out to explore the world. Nothing major has happened yet, but I am enjoying what few hours I've spent so far.
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has played this cool little game for the psp or is familiar with the series, because I'm not.
Update: So the game it reminds me of the most is actually Lunar: Silver Star Story on PSP, which is a really good game as well.
I'm playing this. It's really good and really long with a lot fo dialogue. The story isn't the most entralling, but the characters are good. The combat is chill if you like turnbased combat, and the world is big and explorable.
I like it. I haven't played it for about a week or two as I've been distracted, but I'm about 20 hours in and I still like it.
I'm not enjoying the lenghty dialogue in this game. Ys Seven had a similar problem, but the game play made up for it. The open world and exploration mixed with an interesting combat style is what saves it really.
I reviewed Trails in the Sky a while back. Honestly I like Falcom's other popular game series, Ys, a heck of a lot more. Ys Seven on PSP is particularly good, you should try it.
Ys and Trails are a bit different in terms of combat. Ys Seven is a great game, but more along the lines of an Action RPG, whereas Trails is traditional turn based combat. If I had to choose between the two, Ys Seven is the better game, or Lunar maybe. I will keep hacking away at Trails though.
Well, I only heard of it from Sneelantern's blogs. About the game I know nothing.
I loved Trails in the Sky but didn't finish it. It gets really hard at times. You can cruise along thinking you're invincible and then Boom! you get your ass handed to you.
Doesn't the game let you retry again at the battle you lost. I thought that was the case with me anyway. I lost a battle and then had the option to try the battle again. I still need to play it more.
Yeah, I finished it last year. The battle system is like a combination between a grid-based SRPG (Final Fantasy Tactics) and the standard turn-based RPG. You're right, I haven't seen a battle system quite like it.
I enjoyed it. The dialogue was far too frequent for such a simple story, but the game still felt very brisk and fast paced somehow. It's part of a trilogy and I doubt we will get the sequels. It's fine by me though, I had my fill with this one.
The dialogue I could do without, the combat is pretty brisk for sure even for a turn based game it has a nice flow.
I bought this game when it released. I still hadn't played it yet.
