The Real Review

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is a Nihon Falcom remake of the second installment in the main Trails series, picking up directly after Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter with Estelle starting a new adventure across Liberl. The take is mostly positive, with people really loving the story, gameplay, and graphics, and Estelle and Olivier landing especially well. Falcom gets a lot of goodwill for making the sequel feel familiar and polished, and the overall sense is that it's worth the time and money for series fans. There are some mixed notes around Switch versions and difficulty, but they don't define the game.
