Yeah, after I posted that, multiple more megatons dropped left and right! Played another hour or so after finishing chapter 4. So much craziness.

Wow. WOW. The end of Azure Chapter 4 megaton!!

I feel like the third one is super important in setting up future arcs tho, as I look back on the various doors that I remember. Trails 3rd not a very demanding game- no chance you can play it on steam @Briar King?

Trails to Azure chapter 2: My goodness, the music when Randy As someone playing this series through for the first time, the music in every single game has just been outstanding.

Really taking my time to stop and smell the roses in Trails to Azure. Still in Chapter 1. It's been fun going around Crossbell and "catching up" with all the NPCs from Trails to Zero. Here's some screenshots I took tonight: I really dig this art style. I'm going to miss it when I get to the Cold Steel arc.

Trails to Azure Geofront localization is out!! Playing it now and it’s glorious!!

It’s the PC version not PSP. Saying polished is a bit of an understatement IMO, these are full localizations with lots of quality of life features like 4K resolution, fully localized graphics including mini games, turbo options, etc. Really incredible that the team did this for free. can’t wait.

Geofront says Trails to Azure is coming out this month!

Hmm. Not sure how long I’m willing to wait for Geofront. Guess it’s a play by ear situation

Wait..is there another way to play it in English? I was planning to wait on the geofront patch

Just rolled credits on Zero. Loved it the further I got in. KeA and Zeit remain without a doubt the best

Yeahhhh huge brain misfire there

Fell off for a bit, but Trails from Zero really has it's claws in me, finally. I'm in Chapter 4 now, so not too far from the end from what I understand. It's a race between me to finish Zero and Geofront to finish and release Azure! Zeit and KeA took Zero from a middling JRPG experience with a party that I liked and even cared about to a next level JRPG party that I love. Edit: had a huge brain fart when posting

Cannot recommend 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim enough. Sadly PS4/5 exclusive

Whose got 2 thumbs, a new PC power supply, and is playing Trails from Zero right now? This guy!!

I’m digging CS1. The prologue chapter was fun, and now getting into chapter 1. I had to stop and post because as someone from the mid Atlantic US, it’s hilariously on the nose that the rich, storied academy in Erebonia has...lacrosse. Too real, folks.

Well since I’m only gonna play CS1 before going back to the crossbell games I should be ok. Hopefully my computer is back in action in a couple of weeks...

Yes, consensus seems to be CS1 especially would be ok if I avoid the newspapers. Hopefully by the time I finish CS1 my PC will be fixed so, I can do the crossbell games in between

Will it spoil anything major if I play the Erebonia arc before crossbell arc? With my PC out of commission for at least a week, I figured I could start CS1 on vita, since my plans to play a non jrpg kinda got thrown off

Well I guess I’m taking a break from Kiseki, my damn computer power supply unit appears to be on the fritz. I’m hopeful I can get it replaced by warranty, but gonna have to find help here replacing it as that’s not something I can do. Gah

Whew! That's a wrap on Trails in the Sky the 3rd. I did all the Sun, Moon and Star doors, so I think I got the full experience more or less. Can't say I enjoyed it as much as the first two, but there was some cool hints about whats coming, I think, and some of the flashback/memories were very touching. Definately need a non JRPG palette cleanser before I hope into Trails from Zero, but it wont be on the backburner too long, I don;t think - I'm eager to get to Trails of Cold Steel.

Yeah at least all available to me so far. Up to star door 14 iirc, all the sun and moon doors are done

I think I should be wrapping Trails 3rd tomorrow, given how the story is progressing. I managed to download the Crossbell games legally last night, and I got the geofront patch for Zero. Hopefully their patch for Ao/Azure will be out by the time I finish Zero. Might take a break after Trails 3rd and play a non JRPG though, we shall see.

For any lurkers, Cold Steel III is at a historical low right now on PC ($35)

One of my favorite scenes in all of what I have played so far is when Olivier and one of the enforcers get into a seriously heated discussion about the nature of beauty, etc. I was laughing my ass off.
