    The year 1209. The Republic of Calvard regained its former peace after the threat of the mafia organization "Armata" was gone.

    Then one day, in a corner of the capital of Edith City, a bizarre incident occurs in which a CID (Central Intelligence Division) special forces is murdered.

    The Calvard Police and Bracer Guild started to investigate the case, while underground organizations smell new trouble and use the incident to take an action. Meanwhile, Spriggan Van Arkide also begins investigating after receiving a visit from an unexpected person.

    Who was the one who caused the murder? What is the purpose? And what will happen to Agnes in searching for his great-grandfather's last legacy, the "Eighth Genesis".

    The roar of the crimson-black beast and an encounter with a boy and girl looking for "something" will lead them to a Trail of inescapable cause and effect.

    Trails through Daybreak II is a good continuation and a consistent step up in Calvard's saga. Despite some slip ups and how it feels like the events are more limited when taking into account the general series setting, this is yet another quality work and an easy recommendation for RPG fans.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II expands the story and improves combat, offering a rich experience for series fans. While complex for newcomers and lacking Portuguese subtitles, it’s a rewarding sequel for those invested in Calvard.

    All in all, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II is a great extension of the first Trails Through Daybreak. Just don’t try playing it first and you should have a great time.

    In many three-act works, the middle chapter is often devoted to character development. That’s often the case with The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II, the second installment in Falcom’s Calvard arc. While a core plot device can make a portion of the game feel like a filler, plenty of empathy with the main cast is cultivated here. Coupled with improvements to the hybrid real time/turn-based battles, Daybreak II provides momentum for the third game, but little reason for future replay.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II feels like a game in stasis. The story starts off strong, but fails to deliver and quickly becomes uninteresting. Those who really love these characters will enjoy spending more time with them, but the combat doesn’t feel improved enough to make this feel like a significant step forward.

    While the narrative has its share of tedious moments and some repetitive missions, The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II is still a great sequel. It delivers a compelling, immersive story and exhilarating combat, improving upon its predecessor in many ways while upholding the series’ JRPG excellence.

    The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II is a fun and polished JRPG full of the most electrifying JRPG combat I've ever experienced, but it fails to weave its own compelling narrative, relying on filler to plug the gaps.

    The story plot is a bit disappointing, but it was good to have a lot of new attempts in the game.
