The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II Review [Capsule Computers]

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:

"With the release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel late last year began a trilogy of games that started out incredibly strong and now after leaving off with a cliffhanger to an amazing game. Now English fans have only had to wait nine months to see how the story will continue in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II. So now that this sequel has been released, will this series manage to still deliver the same quality we loved from the first entry?"

If Final Fantasy is my favorite JRPG franchise then Legend of Heroes: Trails is my 2nd favorite. Severely underrated series... It has it's fans but it should be a bigger deal if you ask me.

7 million ain't bad but it should be even more.

shinoff2183575d ago

It really should be. I wish more would play but to many gamers out there need instant gratification and just dont have the attention span. Shame really jrpgs used to be hot back in the 90s. Most people i knew and myself played them from ff to breath of fire and phatasy star.

shinoff2183574d ago

Disagree all you want by they way better back then cant deny it. Only thing better these days is graphics. Graphics dont make a game great.

@Shinofff2183

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure why anyone would disagree with you. But that's just how N4G is.

At first I would get a little bit impatient with Trails of Cold Steel myself, having to go on all those field studies and reading all the talking they did, it was almost too detailed. But eventually I got used to it and it was worth it because by the end I was that much more involved in the story. These days I'm totally into JRPG's and even some visual novels.

shinoff2183575d ago

Well i hope thats good enough for them to understand that we in the west enjoy these games to and bring what hasnt been out over maybe some older ones get re released on playstation and switch and hire more to help translate faster. Good for loh

tagzskie574d ago

Right now my top 3 jrpg's are
1. Persona
a tie between Legend of Heroes(series) and Final Fantasy(series)
This game is underrated and the sale should be more

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1119d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1119d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021118d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1118d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1118d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661118d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021118d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1119d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1119d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1119d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1119d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021118d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901118d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1118d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1118d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1118d ago (Edited 1118d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1118d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1118d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
