The Legend of Heroes - Trails in the Sky. I feel like the graphics are just that, basically very poor. Why is it rated so high?

The graphics of Trails in the Sky FC are relatively average, but considering its age, this is forgivable. It was pretty good for that era. The Chinese stand-alone machines of the same period still had the same screen as a mosaic. SC has improved. The 3RD picture is quite beautiful. When I was walking in the Kingdom of Shadows, my classmate said that the picture was quite real. Now that I'm playing Zero Trail, I can see that they put a lot of effort into the graphics, and there's even a side mission involving photography. Those pictures are quite amazing, but unfortunately I am on a PSP and the screen is too small. I have the idea of ??playing it again on the computer, just for those pictures.

From my perspective, Trails in the Sky has many successes. Let’s talk about the plot first. I went crazy as soon as the FC ended. Why is there no more? I couldn’t wait to start the SC right away. The plot of SC is also good, but most of the maps are from FC, which makes me very disappointed. I don't like the plot of 3RD. To be honest, I even stopped playing it for a while. When I first saw the character design of Zero No Kiseki, I was in despair. I didn’t seem to like the main character, nor did I love the supporting characters. After playing it now, I feel that Zero Trail contains many elements that are very different from Japanese anime. I don’t like this very much, but the excellent plot has made me like Zero Trail. If you play it seriously, you will be moved by the plot. My classmates and I both shed tears for this game.

Let’s talk about the details. For example, yesterday I played Zero Tracks and saw Joshua and Estil in the Great Cathedral on the Guerrilla Association's notice board. Out of my love for them, I went to the Great Cathedral. It was true. exist. This is the embodiment of detailed work, and it is present everywhere in Trails in the Sky 3, Trails in the Zero, and even Trails in the Sky, which will be released next year. These need to be experienced directly in the game.

Then there are characters. Everyone in the Locus series has their own story and character, which is very rare and valuable. In a typical game, besides the protagonist’s story, how many other people can you remember? It took three parts of Trails in the Sky to portray each character. Although Trails in Zero used a new protagonist, the characters in Trails in the Sky also appear frequently. I like everyone very much, especially Joshua and Agathe. , Sherazade, Xiaoti, that imperial prince is also very loving, it made me laugh to death. The Locus series has done this, making every character in the game just like your child, and you love them when you talk about them.

Finally, there is combat. Everyone in the Tracks series has different combat skills. The magic is prepared by oneself, which gives players a lot more room for their own use. There are normal attacks, magic, combat skills, and S combat skills in FC. There is nothing outstanding about FC's battles, and the magic is not refined enough. Except for the final boss battle, there is almost no difficulty. So FC just enjoys the plot. There is a chain combat skill in SC, which I really like. Moreover, SC has greatly increased the difficulty of combat, and the effect of magic has been strengthened. You have to combine different circuits to create different magic. Many battles take several times to pass, and it is very interesting to take the chessboard style combat method to its extreme and think about how to win. 3RD follows SC. Zero Tracks has canceled chain combat skills and added combination combat skills, which are also very useful. It is probably to avoid using chain combat skills, everyone's actions will be delayed, and the entire army will be easily annihilated. In Zero Tracks, when you encounter a mob on the map, you don’t need to start a turn-based game, you can kill it instantly, which is much more convenient.

Actually, I don’t think the graphics is the biggest problem. People who like Trails in the Sky won’t care about this. What can really be considered a shortcoming, I can mention, is that there are no return scrolls like online games. You have to run around to complete tasks, which will drive you crazy. But it was improved later. There was square stone teleportation in 3RD. The main city of Zero Track is large, but teleportation is possible within the city and there are buses outside the city, which is much more convenient. Moreover, the trajectory series has been released, and some shortcomings have been corrected little by little. The trajectory series is becoming more and more perfect.

In short, the Tracks series is a series worth playing. Purely hand-made, hope you can adopt it.
