Falcom’s ambitious series of RPGs aimed to create an expansive story that was built across multiple games and arcs, but because of that it’s incredibly hard to get into. What an amazing game that continues setting up the future of the series.If there’s one regret I have in my long history of JRPG playing, it’s missing out on the Trails series. Over all, Trails in the Sky: Second chapter is a fantastic sequel that takes the original and enhances it. Once again, you can spend hours on min maxing characters, though AOE magic is kind OP even on the physical characters like god damn. You also get new orbments, allowing you to slot higher tier quartz which allows for even more unique spells gained through the intriguing synthesis system. The combat got overhauled and added more effects to the turn order that can help you or screw you, making the combat puzzle of pushing people around on the turn order even more engaging to play with. The best way to describe this is if you are a fan of something like Malazan or The Wheel of Time, this carries as much worldbuilding and character arcs as those series. Aka some of the stuff hinted at in this game is followed up on and brought to conclusion in Cold Steel 4. There are also far more character moments, setting up relationships between friends and enemies that are carried through to the latter games and payed off. We get to see the influence of other countries on the kingdom of Liberl, setting up the geo-political scale of the entire series. More intrigue, more plot threads being sown while some are being solved. The Second Chapter improves on every single thing from the first game and adds even more fantastic story moments that are bellowed to this day. So how did it do? Did it suffer the dreaded sequelitis? the game takes a little bit to get going once again but it is helped by every chapter being overall more interesting than the ones in the first gameĪs a second game in the fantastic Trails series, Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter had the hard time of following up the amazing first game. one of the few games where returning to the areas from an old game does not feel like the devs were lazy, and instead it feels nice continuation of the previous events fantastic follow ups on the side quests from the first game even more options when it comes to character optimization

more fun boss fights and more refined combat system some of my favorite character moments (Olivert being first among them)

a perfect follow up that ties up the first game in a nice little bow
