The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is the peak of storytelling, character writing, and worldbuilding. With enhanced visuals and solid dungeon design this game is an absolute must play for anyone who wants to see video games as a medium of narratives.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure manages to improve upon nearly every aspect of Zero to create an RPG that is a must play for fans of the genre.
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.
A truly fantastic game that ties up loose ends from the previous titles whilst setting up for future storylines. A must-play for every JRPG fan!
Trails to Azure is The Legend of Heroes at its best. With some of the most enjoyable characters, jaw-dropping events and immersive world-building of the entire franchise, it's clear why this Crossbell duology has been held in such high acclaim by fans for so long. If you've struggled for ages to find the right time to get into Legend of Heroes, your wait is over — start here with Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure.
The finale of the Crossbell arc is finally officially available in the west with Trails to Azure, a shining testament of quality for this beloved series.
Like many Nintendo fans, I hadn't played a single Legend of Heroes game until Trails of Cold Steel III hit the Switch in 2020. I've since played each of the Switch releases, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is one of the best.Read More
A high-quality translation and port that builds on the wonderful work done by a passionate community. Trails to Azure's story is impactful, but issues with its pacing can make it feel longer than it needs to be. Even so, this is still a great JRPG that fans of the genre would be silly to pass on.
Lloyd Bannings is back in the 2nd and final entry of the Crossbell arc and although it's a familiar game, it's surely one you'll want to play.
Final Weapon takes a look at the Nintendo Switch 2 version of The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure in this review.
With writing this outstanding and characters this endearing, Zero fans get a satisfying conclusion to the Crossbell saga minus the sense of déjà vu.
When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.
The second half of the missing Crossbell arc has arrived, and the wait was absolutely worth it. Delivering on everything the first half served up with qualify of life improvements and a gripping story, every Trails fan will want to dive in immediately.
Occasionally let down by a PS4 release that unlike its Switch and PC equivalents lacks the visual sharpness and touch ups to its evident age, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure caps off the two-part Crossbell arc in satisfying fashion. A fitting, perhaps convenient, time then to finally have the last piece of the Trails series slot neatly into play and release in the West. 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 combat and world design generally is -- that doesn't take away from what remains another entertaining and intriguing tale of eventual tribulation for the troubled city-state of Crossbell. The most overlooked and overshadowed of the three main Trails story arcs finally given the attention it has richly deserved, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is still worth the investment despite its lack of radical change.
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.
Trails to Azure is an engrossing political RPG with a fantastic story and engaging gameplay.
Trails from Azure is a worthy bookend to the Crossbell saga, and there’s no doubt that being able to go on another adventure with hero Lloyd Bannings at the forefront makes for a delightful time. That being said, I can’t overlook the disservice that these types of Switch 2 releases are doing to fans who supported an at-the-time more niche RPG franchise. Yes, the Trails in the Sky FC remake has shone the spotlight on the modern Legend of Heroes titles, but let's throw a bone to the players who were there first. I’ll dig my heels in against an all-digital future without upgrade options as…
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is a sequel to Trails From Zero and is also a key part of the greater Legend of Heroes franchise. It’s a nice and memorable follow-up and closer to the Crossbell arc, setting up even more events to come for the IP. In that alone, Trails to Azure is epic, sprawling, and possibly even a little confusing at times, depending on where your vestment at the franchise stands at the time.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails To Azure offers a rich narrative and engaging characters, with commendable English localization.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure has a lot going for it, but even more holding it back. The story and characters are mostly fantastic, but the game does so much to get in the way of enjoying it both through dialogue and gameplay it becomes hard to recommend to those not already invested in the world.
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.
Trails to Azure is a crucial component to the Legend of Heroes series, a game that shows the shift of power of Crossbell and its surrounding nations. As the SSS look to explore the deeper issues at the heart of the nation, Lloyd and his teammates will have to rely on each other even more if they att
