What a game
My first impression was astonishment to see that the developers had dared to take the risk of changing the recipe that had worked so well for them in the two previous installments which surprised me a lot. and while I'm not particularly a fan of the implemented formula, I don't hate it at all either. the story was just phenomenal. what a way to close a trilogy 10/10 the best ending I've seen in a video game by far.
A Wonderful Entry and a Fine Conclusion
This series has got me by the balls and won't let go.
The characters and the story are brilliant. It was an absolute pleasure to finish up the Sky trilogy and I can't wait to get to the Cold Steel games somewhat soon.
Let's get the negative out of the way first. The battles move to slow and even the running and exploring around the map can be a bit slow. Luckily I played on PC so I can have everything sped up so it wasn't an issue for me personally, but that's the big negative. The only other negative, which is minor, is the pacing is a tad off. It's so hard to nail the perfect length of any video game. Some feel right at 3 hours long and some feel right at 80 hours long and that pacing differs for every individual. This game, for me, lasted probably 5-10 hours a bit to long. The story never let up, but I didn't want to do any more dungeon exploring by the end of it. But it was very close to perfect.

The story and the characters are the absolute best. Falcom excels in this area probably better than any other rpg developer. I am more invested in the characters in this trilogy than I have been in an RPG since the boys in FF XV. Even the things that annoy me, like Josette and Estelle constantly going at each other, feels like they are real people with real emotions. We get to learn more about Kevin Graham, and this game introduced one of my absolute favorite characters in the series so far, Ries Argent. I can't get enough of this storytelling and I can't get enough of each character. While I do have my favorites, I like each and every character and care about them extensively.
While I think FC and SC are a 5/5 star, this game got a 4 only because I didn't like the...dungeon crawling gameplay loop as much as I liked the exploratory feel of the first 2. It's not bad though! Quite the contrary, it's very good! In fact I don't think I've ever had as much fun with a dungeon crawler before. It's just not on the same level as the first two.
I did every single door in the game, which are a nice psuedo collectible thing that gives you story snippets that add a lot to the world building. And while every door wasn't great, in fact some were not fun at all, the door you are rewarded with to get all of them was well worth it in my opinion. I'm glad I did them all.
Trails in the Sky trilogy is going down as some of my all time favorite games. Which is really saying something because I played these games with a lot of hype surrounding them. I am thoroughly impressed and I can't wait to play more Trails games and also I'm super pumped to play more Falcom games in general. These games made me a believer and I'm not looking back.
If you like RPGs with a good story these are must play games.
An end to the trails trilogy
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version
The first game i have completed in 2021. While i do think i prefered the 1st two over this game, this game still held up. While i prefered having Estelle as the protag, kevin still did a good job. The game also gave us some new playable character like Ries, Renee and Richard etc. The game also gave characters that i already loved even more back story. This development allowed for Renee to dethrone Oliver as my favourite character in the series. This was game was good finish to an amazing trilogy. Looking forward to playing the crossbell games this year. Hopefully they hold up to this trilogy.
Perfect
Ok, I won't say much but if you have played the first two games then it's obvious you will play this one as well, and you won't regret it. Usually when games have sequels they tend to be... not very good but in this trilogy's case all three of them are awesome.
Anyway, long story short.
The story for the 3rd game is slightly different than the first two games but it's still great.
The characters are the same as before with a few new ones whom you already knew, aside from Ries that is.
The music part of the game is a true masterpiece. If a game has crappy music it reduces your motivation to play but this one clearly does not.
I short, don't think too much and play this game ;)
Chiesa e Peccati
Eccellente conclusione della trilogia di Estelle e Joshua. Sebbene non siano più i protagonisti, rimpiazzati dal prete Kevin e dalla suora Ries, comunque la loro presenza, come quella di altri 12 personaggi, è indimenticabile. Musiche e grafica ottime, come il gameplay e la trama, che pone le basi anche per i futuri archi narrativi della saga. ottima, come sempre la possibilità di livellare velocemente i personaggi a lungo in panchina, il che rende il grinding divertentissimo. la scelta di ambientare il gioco in un unico dungeon ha i suoi pro e contro: da un lato rende la storia più coesa, dall'altro crea claustrofobia. le porte opzionali sparse nei livelli aiutano a cambiare atmosfera, ma anche fanno risaltare quanto sia disunito il tutto. Progressione strana: concluso in circa 50 ore, certi capitoli erano stati molto più brevi di altri, come il capitolo 6, che da solo occupava metà gioco. Consigliatissimo a tutti, sebbene lo si possa realmente apprezzare solo dopo aver giocato i precedenti due capitoli. Voto: 9/10
Finished chapter 1: Phantasma. Found Tita and .......
Started the game and finished the prologue.
Almost 50 hours in and have almost all the doors done. I think I'm wrapping this up soon. And while I am enjoying it quite a bit I'm ready for my time with it to be done. Only because it takes me to long to beat games now.
Ries continues to be the highlight for me in this one.
About 16 hours in and really loving this game. I think I enjoy the format of the first two games better, but I really love that they did this to be able to tell another story. And with the focus being in Kevin and newcomer Ries (who is turning out to be best girl) it feels like this series could follow any character and I would play it and be excited to learn more about them.
