    This game is not terrible, in fact it has amazing music and combat mechanics.

    Too bad none of this matters because you will spend 2/3 of the time playing this game trying to figure out where you are supposed to go and who you are supposed to talk to.

    This game is so cryptic that even with a walkthrough I couldn't advance in the story and had to look up videos to see exactly the one stupid thing that I didn't do and that I had to so I could play the game.

    It's a shame because the game had an amazing battle system, but dear lord I just lost my patience. Why not show a marker or something like that so I know where I should be going? Does anyone enjoy walking back and forth trying to know what is the one NPC that you need to talk to? I just spent 2 hours talking to NPCs and walking, walking, walking... talking and walking, that is what this game is, a walking and talking simulator, give me that battle system and I can make a better game.    … Expand

    Same flaws as FC without the benefit of having a good plot. It's a 60 hour long game and the first 40 are bad filler. Only picks up towards the end and even then it's not very good. The best thing the game has going for it are the characters, and setting up the broader franchise storyline.

    Trails In The Sky SC is one of the most adored JRPG, thanks to his incredibly deep story. The western conversion comes a little to late to give justice to this masterpiece: the weight of years is felt on the graphics.

    Perhaps one day gamers outside Japan will be able to appreciate the full scope of this series, which takes time to develop pieces of its world in detail. Until then, at least the two Trails in the Sky games show how rewarding the series can be, and the upcoming Cold Steel shows that more is on the way for non-Japanese speakers.

    If you've played Trails FC, there's a good chance you're already waist-deep in SC, and so my review isn't going to sway you one way or another. For those who haven't yet taken the plunge, I cannot stress enough that SC is a direct sequel that takes place immediately following the ending of the first game, so I recommend beating FC first.
