    As an epilogue to cap off a series spanning a whopping NINE games, Trails into Reverie delivers in all the areas that makes this one of the best RPG series on the market, featuring impeccable world building, compelling, nuanced characters and an enjoyable combat engine with plenty of room for experimentation. In a way, this entry feels like a reward for all those who have stuck with the series thus far and as we look towards Calvard and the future of the series as a whole, we can rest easy knowing that we’ve sent the heroes off in style, without any regrets.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie still feels like a dream release after how far behind the West was with Kiseki localizations. Well, it is now here, real, and spectacular thanks to its story, music, and brilliant PC port.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie comes with one of the biggest prerequisites in modern media. You’ll need to have played at least four, and ideally six, 40+ hour role-playing games to fully appreciate the intricacies of this title. That’s a substantial expectation, but if you have committed to the property, Reverie’s assemblage of personalities provides an impeccable farewell (and playful introduction) that will undoubtedly tug at your heartstrings.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Reverie is the epilogue players deserve after Cold Steel 4. It's a strong send-off for many of its characters and sets up the future well, even with its flaws.

    As someone who is a bit of a lapsed fan of the Trails series and greatly enjoyed the recently localized Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure, I was partially hoping to have Reverie be the game to reignite that spark I used to have for this series. Instead, after completing Trails into Reverie, I find myself mostly grateful to move onto brighter pastures after Reverie ended up spending most of its run-time spinning its wheels, while its few contributions to the overall series largely fell flat.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Reverie is not a good place to start the Trails series. This is not a short game, it starts very slowly, and it’s effectively a sequel to every previous game. If you’re a fan, however, you can’t miss this. Especially since it has enough replay value to keep you busy until the Calvard games are localized.

    the pacing is horrible, combat with hard boss since begin which can dure 10 to 15 mn followed by easy fight; the 3 roads path is horrible, when you engage in a story with charas, when you re in, sorry go back to another story and reassigne all good quartz to nezw charas and about all 45 mn same thing again and again; this is anti-story tellin and involvement.
    How to destroy a franchise, the worst of story telling ever in an RPG story which was completed and make convoluted plots and characters, to artificially make a follow up.    … Full Review »
