Is the Trails series good for a mecha RPG?

Haha...

no

No because there's very little mecha. It's introduced at the very end of Cold Steel 1 is a major part of II then gradually tapers off. III and IV have mecha fights but not as many as II, Reviere has one, then Daybreak I and II move away from mecha entirely as anything but stuff antagonists use. Horizon brings them back on the player side but only for two fights total and using a different system than Cold Steel.

Which is too bad, because the mecha of Trails are very good from a design point, but the games aren't really interested in them to the extent that say, Xenogears was.

No, I was a massive Falcom fan for years until they went to shit trying to attract the Persona crowd.

The only one that's really fun is Ao no Kiseki which is about a magic using police squad that gets in to hijinks.

I recommend you skip it unless you like jarpigs, because mostly it's 6~7/10. I like jarpigs, use to binge them whilst drunk.

Falcom somehow managed to make mecha battle fucking boring.

I wouldn't even recommend it to people who like Jrpgs. People spent years shitting themselves over MUH WORLDBUILDING but none of these games have good actual stories. they spend hours upon hours waffling about and nothing actually happens so it takes them multiple games to tell the most basic bitch plots.

The first 5 games are great, it went downhill fast with Cold cringe, but those games managed to build a fan base so I don't expect any improvement.

>The first 5 games are grea
No. They're not.

>>23943333
They're paced terribly. Trails refuses to end plotlines within one game despite never doing anything grandiose by JRPG standards with them. You can get through multiple Final Fantasy games by the time it takes the plot to even start in the first Trails. You can finish all six main Personas within the time it'd take you to get through Rean's shit.

My boy Otto did not deserve to go out like that.

A fair amount of people died in the second world war despite it only lasting a few hours but it wasn't any actual established characters
>>
>>23943226
not really because the mechs only get used in in the final battle of CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4, and the final battle of Reverie
>>
>>23943504
There's also two mech fights in Horizon but they're not a major feature there
