The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon

Instead of wrapping things up for Van, Falcom pushes his story further, giving it a scale quite unprecedented in the series. Don't get me wrong: It explains a lot about some secrets that have been lingering since the series' beginning. Even so, the RPG is far from fulfilling the implicit promise its ominous Japanese subtitle ("Farewell, O Zemuria") carries. Horizon is not a goodbye. It's the first glimpse of the epic final steps that lie ahead.
