"the legend of heroes: trails in the sky" is one of the finest JRPG's i have ever played, everything about it is the PINNACLE of excellence! it's a shame that the series has only seen moderate success in the west despite being wildly popular in japan. the story writing is absolutely top notch, the characters are very likeable, the world building is staggering, and i'm not even doing it justice right now. if you are a JRPG fan who likes a good story, then this is one game that you absolutely MUST play.
when i first played this game back in 2014, i was a little turned off by the graphics and ended up putting the game down, not being able to refund it because i had initially exceeded the 2 hour limit on refund eligibility. eventually i was told to give the game another try, just ignore the graphics, so i did, i forced myself to give the game a chance... and i absolutely fell in love with it as i got more and more into the game! i won't spoil the game, so i'll just say that while i'm not one to cry very easily, trails in the sky had me BAWLING my eyes out when i beat it! i STILL have not played the sequel that continues on from this game, despite it being literally my most requested series to play through lol.
i would LOVE to see this remake appear on GOG, because not only would it continue the trend of having all the trails games on the service, but it would give it a place to live on forever if there comes a time where the game is taken off all other storefronts.
