[Continue Play] Import Review - Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter

And this time the series will be on the PC as well as the PSP.

How does the second chapter in this critically acclaimed series stack up? Continue Play dives into the Japanese game library to find out.

Never knew this was being localized, tempted to pick up part one now off PSN to play on Vita.

Ignored it as thought parts 2 and 3 were never being localized.

Yeah. It was quietly announced a little while back: http://gematsu.com/2013/09/...

I wouldn't worry about the third game being localised or not because, truth be told, 'Trails in the Sky' is actually a duology; Second Chapter neatly wraps up the main story.

Trails in the Sky: The 3rd is more like a bonus game that acts as a bridge between the Trails in the Sky duology and the Crossbell duology that follows it. The main contribution it has to make is explaining what the Church's role is in the world and how they go about business.

But you could quite well skip The 3rd and go straight on to Trails of Zero without missing much.

I'm wondering if they might go that route and just include a translated overview movie of 3rd chapter, and localize Zero.

I'm still finishing the gagharv trilogy, then I need to play trails.

7/10 seems ok score though. I'm assuming others will rate slightly higher or maybe same.

I'm with you.

But I'm surprised there's no fan translations either? I've yet to play the game, but I've heard great things about it.

The Legend Of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter Review | PSNation

PSN:
Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC is a game that meshes the feeling of a traditional JRPG, such as the long-winded exposition, with some of the modern systems of more contemporary JRPGs. It still feels a little bit like a game out of time but that’s understandable given that the game was originally released in 2006.

Not that most of that matters when the underlying game is enjoyable like Trails. A strategic and deep combat system and an interesting story are the best selling points of the game. These aspects make for an easily recommendable game. Just don’t go in expecting a short or easy game experience.
