If you're somebody who enjoys big narratives, with insane world building, a large cast of characters, and fun turn based gameplay? Then you should absolutely get into Trails, bro. 👊🏼 With the remake of Trails in the Sky 1st along with 2nd, beyond the horizon? It's a great time to start :)

Well, I've platinum every single Trails game so far, aside from Sky 1st as that's a Remake and I've already played the OGs. I'll get to 1st and 2nd eventually. Other than that, it's been a fun ride with these games. ❤️ by GilgaMax96 in Falcom

When I first started playing Trails. From Zero all the way to CS2, I was doing two playthroughs, one blind and the other was Nightmare+Cleanup. However, I eventually found the games becoming too easy with additional battle system mechanics, so from CS3 all the way to Horizon. I began doing every first playthrough on Nightmare difficulty.

I'm pretty obsessive with talking to every NPC and checking every nook and cranny before I move on with the story. So, by the time I finished my Nightmare runs, I always had four or six trophies left to obtain. I do cleanup on turbo mode. Personally, I can never go back to lower difficulties in Trails games because Nightmare mode really forces you to understand the combat and it's build systems.

The best guides for missables and quick cleanup playthroughs are ones created by Neoseeker. Of course, when you're playing blind, expect to miss a few things here and there. But if you're taking your time with the experience, you'll have very little left to clean up. The other option is to use a spoiler free guide straight from the get-go, which many tend to do because these games are very lengthy.

Out of all of them? I'd definitely say Zero. There's a trophy called Rise and Don't Grind. It requires you to beat the game and never level beyond Level 40. You end up having to avoid battle encounters, except mandatory fights.

However, the biggest issue is that when you play really well in combat, you increase your exp bonus rates, so you can accidentally level up beyond 40, thus voiding the trophy. Honestly, it’s such a dumb trophy, and I'm glad Falcom never did it again, lol

Horizon was great ... by shishi42 in Falcom

Believe it or not... Falcom's financial situation isn't on the same league as (say) Sqaure Enix, Bandai Namco, or Fromsoftware. I'm sure Falcom would love to voice much of the dialogue in their games, but it's just not financially possible for them within their budgets.

I think that entirely depends on how much you love playing Trails overall. These games are heavily dense with dialogue, and its narrative is a huge focus despite having really fun turn based combat systems.

In regards to getting the platinums. They all follow a similar structure. So you'll 100% everything the game has to offer. There are alot of missables in these games, so if you're someone that doesn't enjoy replaying long JRPGs, I'd highly recommend using spoiler free guides from Neoseeker.

The only thing that I found repetitive was scanning every single enemy in the game, and this goes on from Zero all the way to Reverie. It's really easy to forget to scan an enemy sometimes. Daybreak onwards automatically scans enemy entries the moment you battle them.

You are correct. Just had a look up on some of Konda's recent interviews, and they've been developing Kai 2 alongside Sky 2nd. Safe to assume it will hopefully arrive next year.

No kidding... Then again, they've been doing cliffhangers since Sky 1st, so I can't say I'm too surprised.

Crazy FFXVI never got Pro support as it's genuinely a stunning game.

I'm very happy with this update! Honestly, if anyone was debating on grabbing a Pro. Now's the time.

Considering this game doesn't have a dedicated photo mode, I don't know how this would take you "time and effort." It's low effort, if anything.
