The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie Reviews
Trails into Reverie is the all-star game of the series fans have been waiting for, but struggles to advance beyond that.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is the latest installment of The Legend of Heroes franchise released in the West and which, within the Trials series, is in charge of closing the Crossbell and Erebonia arcs. Nihon Falcon's JRPG will close the story of the last two series and lay the foundations for the Calvard arc, of which the first installment will soon reach the West. Although we are facing a title that grates at a high level, the fact that it closes two arcs and starts from the previous events does not make it a recommended game for new users. Of course, the fan of the franchise will enjoy it without a doubt.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie delivers an impressive finale to the Crossbell/Erebonia saga, offering a sophisticated narrative skillfully spread across three distinct story arcs and an ample cast. Its refined combat system, coupled with a wealth of replayable content, makes it an essential pick for JRPG enthusiasts, despite needing context from preceding installments for the full experience.
While the visuals and flashy style of the series have continued to evolve nicely, the story will probably be inaccessible for the uninitiated
Trails into Reverie marks the end of one of gaming’s longest running, consecutive released series, with Trails of Cold Steel, and a fresh beginning for another if NIS America has anything to say about it.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is an outstanding RPG with a rich story and memorable characters. The turn-based combat is well polished and the music is amazing. It easily places in the top three of my favorite Trails games along with Trails in the Sky the 3rd and Trails to Azure. I highly recommend fans of the series to play this, they will definitely enjoy the journey. Unfortunately, some issues hold this game back from reaching that coveted perfect score, but this should not deter you from picking the game up. Trails into Reverie was worth the wait and a satisfying conclusion to the Erebonia and Crossbell arcs. It is a bittersweet feeling, however, as I know future games will be moving away from these regions and characters I’ve come to know and love so well.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is what you’d expect, given previous entries. The narrative is easily the best part, which does a great job of closing out the last story arcs. Gameplay isn’t revolutionary for the franchise, yet that is far from a complaint. It would be nice to see some improvements in graphics/performance, but other than that, it’s a solid experience fans will likely love.
Trails into Reverie is a refined tactical RPG that rewards complete control of combat. A game with a really varied gameplay, which allows it to be adapted to each type of player and their strategies. Its story turns what has already been seen upside down, allowing us to play two different routes as we wish, but maintaining both a serious and good argument and a large number. Graphically it's very good, but it doesn't innovate anything, while at the sound level it has really incredible compositions.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie brings together beloved characters from the series for one final adventure. This highly anticipated conclusion is sure to please fans, as it delivers an impactful and thrilling experience.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is an exceptional turn-based RPG that beautifully ties up loose ends from previous Trails games while hinting toward the franchise's future. Players are greeted by a memorable cast of characters that are playable across three main story paths. These story paths converge into an excellent experience with a slew of side content and much more to discover. This is an absolute must-buy for Trails fans.
The Legend of Heroes – Trails into Reverie is a brilliant finale serving nearly two decades of storytelling and worldbuilding.
While some of the deeper world-building feels increasingly convoluted, and it's time for the series to move on to new pastures, it is great to have one final episode of glory with most of the cast as the game celebrates the series's combat evolution and at least partially ties up some of its numerous unresolved plot points.
Trails into Reverie represents the grand conclusion of the events of West Zemuria and a fitting tribute to the heroes who have accompanied us all these years. Behind fantasy, politics and artificial intelligence, Falcom has once again managed to portray the humanity of its protagonists in a masterly manner, leaving us moved by the threads of destiny that intertwine as we watch the credits.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie is a fascinating culmination of most main characters' stories while paving the way for the future.
The Trails series just might be the best modern and ongoing JRPG series around, and while it isn’t groundbreaking, Trails Into Reverie is yet another great entry to this series. The problem is the best thing about the series; it really only caters to its fans.
Hajimari no Kiseki is a deeply flawed JRPG with a main story that barely stands on its own but is supported by a fantastic cast and great individual moments throughout. The story may feel like one which didn’t need to be told for the series to move forward, but what is contained in the routes and episodes feel like concerted attempts to fix many issues brought to the table in Cold Steel, and set many of these characters and story beats straight so they can excel in future arcs.
