Better than the original or not? I have the original but never played more than five minutes of it.
>>3846644It's basically as perfect as a remake can get. Exact same story, just with updated visuals and gameplay. It's a new translation from the original western release, so the lines are different from what people remember. It's supposed to be more accurate to the Japanese, with a more word-for-word approach, but some fans miss the lines from the more thought-for-thought translation that was the original release. It's one of those things where you can't make everyone happy, there's pros and cons to both approaches. That aside, you're not going to be disappointed.
>>3846646Alright, thanks!
>>3846647There's also a handful of lines that have been altered slightly for "modern audiences." None of it is that big a deal, and the lines have been changed in the Japanese version of the game too, they weren't only changed in the localization. It's not really going to impact your enjoyment of the game, but that is there and I would say it's a very minor problem. Other than that though everything seems perfect and exactly what I hoped it would be.
>>3846649Thats good to know, i'll still give the game a try though
>>384664491 on Metacritic. Unironic GOTY contender.
>>3846644Depends on who you ask. I've never managed to get into Trails because I could never make it past the prologue in Sky FC. Been sitting on several of these games in my collection for years, and I couldn't touch them because of that.Then I tried the demo of this remake, and now I'm playing the full game proper. Whether it's thanks to the remake, or something else, at least now I can actually start playing Trails.
I already played this a long time ago and forgot it except for the big parts.I just started yesterday until the first big tutorial and I am thoroughly impressed already. The little additions they did stands out a lot. Estelle was already charming before, now she's much more charming really.I love the graphical update and how it looks, retro but modernized if that makes any sense.
9/10 so far. It shows Falcom desperately needs to fire all their current writers, which they probably will given how this game written by 3 people is being received extremely well in 2025, unlike the rest of their garbage games.
>>3846644See >>3847431, it even works for retards!
>>3846646It honestly just shows how GOOD the original game was compared to modern Trails installments.
>>3846644It's worse than the original which was already bad anyways.
