Great game, I really liked it! I'm very fond of the old Nihon Falcom art style so game was super cute for me. The music is nice, the characters are super charming and the whole story is great. I love how they managed to keep a good JRPG progression in the game while reminding you that it's just the start of the whole series, teasing you with more powerful characters and story bits. FYI my final save is at 44h while trying to do every quests in the game, not sure why Steam is showing 33.
This game is peak fiction. I know that term gets thrown around like a volleyball these days, but I really mean it. I played the remake of this game last year and it was my favorite game I played in 2025. Everything that I love about RPGs is in this game, and is done extremely well. The combat is fun and strategic without being too crazy, the characters are wonderful, the world and music are beautiful, and the sidequests are so fun that I went out of my way to do every single one that I could find. When I finished playing the remake on my PS5, I immediately came here and bought the original trilogy, and played through the game AGAIN on this version. It was a lot of fun bringing my experience with me and seeing what was different here. Now that I've beaten this version I'm playing the Second Chapter, because I'm so invested in the story I don't want to wait for the remake. And it's somehow even BETTER than the first game??? I haven't finished it yet, but the story and mechanics progress in very smooth and natural ways. I'm amazed by how good these games are. How did Falcom do this in the early 2000s? I cant wait to play the rest of this series. Long story short, if you like RPGs at all you should definitely play this game. I would recommend the remake since it improves upon everything in this already wonderful game, but this version is great too. Please check out Trails.
this game is pretty good and i really liked it at first but i dislike sharazard and the bard so much that it really made it hard for me to enjoy the game still i think its a good game that id recomment i do think you will need a controller because the keyboard controls arent good, theres also no good tooltips to disclose the controls so you will have to figure it out probably
