What players say

I'm thumbing it up because, at the end of the day, it is a competent game I did not regret playing, otherwise I wouldn't have done it for 70 hours including post-game. But when it comes to the story and just the overall respect for my time, I have quite a lot of criticisms for this entry. First of all, no matter what most of the fanbase may tell you, this game is redundant. Two thirds of its story is just bloated...

The last Trails game to be localized as of my writing. The story starts to wears off for the Lloyd and Rean story, but the 3rd character story is my favorite. But gameplay-wise i think this is the best of other trails game.
