ok i get it but i hated hated hated playing w just estelle and joshua and having a guest like schera or agate carry them was not satisfying either... SC is much better
Question to people who like this series; does the writing ever actually get good? I played 15 hours of this and found a pretty ho-hum game overall that's just overflowing with cliches. Do the people who like this just want the most archetypal anime storytelling in their JRPG and are satisfied with the basic combat?
Yes and no. The best part about Trails is the long-term worldbuilding and storytelling, which you can't really get the scope of in just the first game. There will still be tropey characters and dumb plot twists though, a lot of us either suffer through it for lore or embrace how silly it is (I revel in the absurdity of the scary fire guy in Cold Steel being named "McBurn", not everyone can). But, Sky 1 is probably the weakest in the series aside from a couple Cold Steel games. Sky 2 and 3 are great, the Crossbell games are great, Cold Steel 3 is great. And the combat does get better, the quartz system becomes pretty dope as the games go forward.
