This and Trails in The Sky FC are quite possibly the most important game’s in Falcom’s modern history. Everything in their current identity can be rooted back to this and for that alone it is a must-play for anyone wanting to learn more about the studio’s design lineage. The game itself is great, one of the best action-RPGs of the early aughts and as addicting in its core game loop as the titles which would go on to perfect its ideas. To this day one of the greatest Falcom soundtracks ever composed, the final boss theme genuinely left me floored. Here’s to many more years of this incredible series of games.
