Trails in the sky is turning out to be a fun little game. Only a few hours in but already liking the combat/orbment system.

Yup, this game is a reminder of why I love the JRPG genre. It's got a good story and absolutely stupendously brilliant dialogue (kudos to the localization team!). The game is already dated, but the quality never aged a bit. It can still hold its own after all this years...way way better than Tales of Zestiria! (Piisu no sain!) I was like, where was I when this gem of an rpg was released? ^_^ So excited to play more of this series and company, Falcom. Onto the sequel!!!!

I really wanted to like this game, especially with the heaps of online praise for it, but simply could not.

I really wanted to like this game, especially with the heaps of online praise for it, but simply could not.
After four hours, I was bored out of my mind.
The pacing is abominably slow, the missions drag on longer than they're worth, battle is uninspired, and I could not engage with any of the main characters who all speak in the most vanilla canned anime/JRPG tripe this side of the 1990s (yo I *like* JRPGs and still couldn't get into this).
Maybe I'm just not giving it a chance. Many reviewers say that Trails in the Sky has a slow start, which builds to a certain richness of writing/character depth/setting in the second half, noting that if you haven't been hooked by 10 hours or so, then the rest won't be your cup of tea. And if that's the case, I don't think I can spend any more time on Trails in the Sky. Just not for me I suppose, especially when there are other more compelling games to play!

Man I hate it when you lose over an hour in a game because of a save system or game crashing. It literally happened to me twice in two different games today.

Read moreMan I hate it when you lose over an hour in a game because of a save system or game crashing. It literally happened to me twice in two different games today. First in Legend of Heroes, which was kind of my fault for not saving all the time, but mostly the game's fault because it crashed on me when I got to a new town. I hadn't saved it in quite a while. I actually lost all progress I made in the game for the day, so I was done.
Then it happened in FFX when I was traveling through some mountains, and there hadn't been a save spot since I started on them. I got careless and a regular fight took me out. Lost a bunch of sphere grid progress, and I think I was about halfway through the mountains. I feel like the random encounter chance is a little too high in that game. Every four steps is a battle, which makes traversing a very long path like these mountains not very fun. Other than that, still having a blast with it.

Great writing, great characters, good battle system that starts to wear out its welcome by the end but is still fast to play through. All around one of the best jrpgs I've played. So want to be able to play the next one.
