The value story
October 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $27.99. 23 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87) and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ($49.99, scores 79) both come in lower.

Some things you should know: 1) Yes, you HAVE to play Trails in the Sky 1 through 3 before playing this. Plot points in this game rely on info from those games. 2) The game has JP voices and English text (this is how it should be). 3) Yes, it has a really slow start as a new cast of characters is introduced, but, just like Trails in the Sky, they will grow on you as the game goes on. 4) This game is awesome and I...
