The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is easily one of the best entries in the franchise. A compelling heart-wrenching story is made better with excellent character writing and world-building, while the fun combat system keeps the best elements from its predecessor and improves it to make it stand out as much as possible. If you have to only play one of the Trails of titles, make sure you play Azure.

The release of Reverie fast approaching; itself an epilogue of sorts to both Crossbell and Erebonia arcs alike. In the meantime, while it would be easy to dismiss this as more of the same -- virtually untouched the core c...
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is the great conclusion to the Crossbell arc in the fantastic Trails series, bringing in some new mechanics while keeping the staples of the Trails games that make it so great. And with no setting changes needed to enjoy optimally, this is a Best on Deck game!
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Azure finally closes the gap in an epic story and continues to be a showcase of incredible tales across all of Zemuria. While the stories of the SSS have been shared throughout later arcs, getting to experience it for yourself is a must for any fan of the series.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is one of the most specifically brilliant games of the year. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s one of the most specifically brilliant games of all time. If you’ve played the previous game in the series, The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, I’ll do my best to explain it to you.
Trails to Azure is an important second entry to the Crossbell saga, adding some neat touches and forming two parts of a whole with Trails From Zero.
