Trails in the Sky the 3rd - Review @ TechRaptor

TechRaptor has reviewed The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: The 3rd:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: The 3rd Review – An Overdose of Heavenly Bliss

It seems inevitable that there will be at least one person that attempts to play through Trails in the Sky: The 3rd before having even touched the first two games in the series. They undoubtedly will be very confused. For the rest of you, don’t even think of reading this review if you haven’t already played Trails in the Sky and Trails in the Sky SC. HEAVY spoilers for both those titles will follow simply due to the nature of this game. You have been warned.

[...]

I won't try and argue that Trails in the Sky - the 3rd is a perfect game, but I will say that if you're a fan of JRPGs you absolutely need to play this game at least once. The 3rd is both a perfect send-off for Trails in the Sky, as well as a fantastic build-up for the titles to come. Just, hopefully, we'll be able to see ALL of them in English one day.

Score: 9.5/10

Trails in the Sky the 3rd - Review @ RPGSite

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd Review

XSEED first introduced many of us to Trails series when the first Trails in the Sky was localized way back in 2011 for the PlayStation Portable. That entry, however, was only the initial portion of a large trilogy of stories (which in itself is only a subset of of an even larger mythos of connected stories) and left many people clamoring for the continuation of the world introduced in that game. While it took nearly 4 years for the sequel to be localized, here we are less than 2 years after with the final part of the trilogy, aptly named The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd.

[...]

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd's different gameplay structure and shifted narrative focus can take some getting used to, especially when coming off the formula from prior Trails in the Sky entries. However, once I was acclimated to the new radical shifts in structure and gameplay, I found that the 3rd carries all the charm and strengths of the previous game and goes beyond that. Trails in the Sky the 3rd is an excellent conclusion that not only sends off the Liberl arc on an exceptionally strong note, but also serves as a great teaser of the overall Trails world.

Score: 9/10

Trails in the Sky the 3rd - Released

by Hiddenx, 19:14

The JRPG The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd has been released:

Launch Trailer

loading...

Half a year after the events of Trails in the Sky Second Chapter, Liberl has settled into peace once again—but even during peaceful times, there are many among the distinguished and fortunate burning with greed thanks to the influence of ancient artifacts. Most of the population remains unaware of their abuses of power, but to the most enigmatic order of the beloved Septian Church, the Gralsritter, snuffing out these would-be villains and claiming artifacts in their name is as everyday as professing one’s faith in the Goddess.

On the eve of another successfully completed mission, high-ranking member Father Kevin Graham is immediately assigned to retrieve one more artifact that rests beneath Grancel Cathedral. What’s more, even though this is a task he could easily complete on his own, he must reluctantly do so in partnership with his newest recruit, rookie Gralsritter and childhood friend Sister Ries Argent. Thus begins the start of a routine mission that becomes anything but, delving into a new and mysterious realm that follows an unnaturally strict set of rules: Phantasma. Therein, the history of the Septian Church and the pasts of the many familiar faces who took up arms for the sake of Liberl’s future will be laid bare – and some may have been better off staying forever sealed behind closed doors.

A More Personal Adventure
Trails in the Sky has become a fan favorite for thoughtfully written characters down to its NPCs, and for its final installment further focuses on fleshing out its playable cast via Moon and Star doors found as the story progresses.

Familiar Tactics, Brutal Combat
Widely considered the most challenging title in the series, players are encouraged to iterate upon the combat style they’ve come to know in the 3rd’s predecessors by either enjoying its in-depth story on Easy or crying with frustration on its unforgiving Nightmare difficulty.

One More from Falcom Sound Team jdk
Nihon Falcom is known for its brilliant music, and the Trails series has never been an exception, with the 3rd adding dozens of new tracks to keep players engaged as they journey through Phantasma.

Even More Olivier
As if two Sky games was enough Olivier.
