Trails from Zero, to Azure, is incredible. This is one (or two) of those games that stay with you forever. After spending so much time in crossbell with the SSS and friends I have grown attached in a way I haven't felt since persona 4. This game is so lovingly crafted, packed so densely with details, character and lore. I want to defend crossbell, and all of the inhabitants I have met along my journey.

This duology has one of the best stories I have ever encountered in my 34 years of life. The stakes feel real, the WORLD feels real. So many games over telegraph their stories so you can predict what is going to happen 99% of the time, but by the end of azure I couldn't get my jaw off of the table. Betrayals I never saw coming, alliances I would have never guessed I'd make in 1000 years, and a plot that goes back 2000 years; trails to azure astonished and amazed me from beginning to end. Zero made me a fan, azure made me a fanatic.

I am excited to keep playing the trails series, and to be honest these games set such an incredibly high bar it's going to be hard for the other games to fill zero/azure shoes. But, after playing these games I now know why you have never heard a trails fan say anything other than praise for this series. Nihon falcon cares about this series and its worlds long interconnected lore. They made a fan out of me and I am excited to be along for the ride.

Score 10000000/100

Great sequel and story. Combat is the same, characters are still great and get resolution to their respective arcs. Ost is good.
