Since Trails Into Reverie expects you to be familiar with the series, your characters come equipped with some decent Quartz from the jump, and you won’t have to worry about lengthy tutorials and boring battles in the first few hours. Providing passive buffs and access to powerful Arts, you’ll want to experiment with these colourful rocks to create a team of powerhouses. To ensure you have the right Arts for the job you need to equip Quartz to your characters, which are basically gems you put into a little grid. Arts are the magic of this series, and although they take time to cast the elemental effects they unleash are more than worth the wait. Crafts are individual to each character, use CP and can do anything from damage, heal or deal painful status effects. Trails Into Reverie has similar combat to the Crossbell games, with characters taking turns to use their Arts and Crafts. Even without that required knowledge though, Trails Into Reverie is an epic tale with sensational turn based combat. From start to finish big reveals were lost on me, but if you’re up on your Trails then this game is like Avengers: Endgame on steroids. Recognising a few characters in a game with this many people in every scene is simply not enough, especially once you leave the first story route focused on Lloyd and his Crossbell friends. I at least recognised Lloyd and the other SSS members though, so at least that’s something. That’s six massive games that you pretty much need to have completed to fully enjoy the newest entry in the series, or you’ll be as lost as I was thanks to my lack of Cold Steel experience. Never had this divide been more apparent than with The Legends of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, which is a fantastic game that frankly I am not the target audience for.Įssentially Trails into Reverie is a continuation and ending of two different story arcs, the Crossbell arc (made up of the recently released Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure) and the Cold Steel arc. By telling a story that spans multiple games, Falcom have created a fantastic world that is almost impenetrable for newcomers but beloved by those dedicated fans who have played hundreds of hours of these RPGs. When it comes to RPGs, there’s no other series that can compare to the Trails games when it comes to universe building.
