If you're reading this, you most likely have played the first game, so go ahead and buy it.
It's the payoff you've been looking for.

It's not without flaws, but the good things this game excels in make the overall experience fulfilling.

===================================

I only have 2 real complaints:
1. The tone of the whole game is a bit all over the place. It drops grim backstories here and there, however, the main story leans all in into "coming of age hero saves the world" and completely shied away from anything remotely dark, leaving the stakes feeling almost empty. Never once did I feel intimidated by the antagonists. I was so hoping that the Ouroboros would at least be as menacing as the Phantom Troupe from HxH, but I guess I hoped too much.
2. So many half-resolved character arcs left for future entries (you know like the MCU). Almost feel lazy at times.

Well, it also suffers the same flaws as the first game: fetch quests, so much backtracking, uninteresting side quests, reused tropes, etc.

I think you will appreciate Trails in the Sky so much more if you treat it as a character-driven story more than anything, the characters are really the stars of the show for me. To me, the whole conflict in Liberl is more of a backdrop for Estelle and co. growth. I started this series annoyed by Estelle's airhead antics, then completely fell for her character towards the end of SC. She is now among my favorite protagonists in video games .

Looking forward to play the rest of the Trails series.

Вторая часть прекрасной игры. В целом продолжение вышло отличным. Сюжет такой же классный. Геймплей почти не изменился, добавили только одну механику, которая к сожалению не то чтобы нужна. У нее хороший потенциал чтоб использовать ее по области но радиус маловат и чаще всего одного врага бьет а урон не такой уж и большой.

Но есть одно "но" к сюжету. Меня очень выбесил Уроборос. Ну это настолько шаблонные соевые злодеи из аниме что шаблоннее уже некуда. Типичная тусовка разноцветных клоунов сотрудничество которых держится на честном слове, так еще и упускают 30 возможностей разделаться с героями. У какого нибудь Лео еще хотя бы есть честь и резон не действовать по крысиному, но вот Волчара Уолтер как раз тот кто по идее должен был уничтожить любого из персонажей по рофлу.

Но в целом сюжет на уровне.

NOTE: THIS IS A SEQUEL, PLAYING THE FIRST GAME IS A MUST.

A phenomenal payoff to the first game and one of my favorite stories of all time. All of the great qualities from the first game with a higher stakes plot bring together a wonderful conclusion.
