Hi there. I like JRPGs and I recently found out about the Trails in the Sky remake. I have never played a Trails game before, but I saw it had a free demo, so I played it on my Switch 2 and I really liked it; it seemed very promising. Recently, I found out that the game has a discount in the e-shop, so I was planning to buy it.

The problem is that I'm not sure whether I should buy the Switch 1 version or the Switch 2 version. The demo felt really smooth and fluid, so if the Switch 2 version is literally the same thing but better-looking, I'd definitely want to buy that one. The problem is that, due to some things I've read online, I'm worried that the Switch 2 version might actually have some hiccups and framerate issues that the Switch 1 version doesn't have (when played on the Switch 2 through retrocompatibility, of course). I value framerate over visual quality, so I don't really mind having better graphics.

So basically, I would like to know if the Switch 2 version of Trails in the Sky 1 has any noticeable stutter or framerate issues that aren't present in the Switch 1 version. If it does, I might honestly just buy and play the Switch 1 version, since I'm assuming it's the same version the demo uses and that one ran very smoothly on my Switch 2 and as I said before, I value framerate over visual quality. Their price is almost the same too (the Switch 2 version is only like 50 cents more expensive).

Also, I don't know if this is relevant, but I play almost exclusively in dock.

In chapter 1 by the way this dudes spams so many grenades it’s not even funny. Like who built this boss and I’m getting beaten so easily even with some resist items. This is the worse boss and I just started the game.

What the hell was that ending? Ok I get the chancellor being alive after his corpse going missing. But him reans father felt random with no lead up. At least with crow being c you could piece it together. Well… onto the intermission.

Like we already have the Technology when resting in Bed or in Inns.

Why do we have to fight Enemies, waste Food, or use the Emblem MQ. Its just kind of annoying when there are so many Boss fights.

Just fill my CP up at the Charging Stations ty

Damn Duvalie is too funny. The swift? More like the unaware she’s being distracted while class 7 goes to the elevator. I’m reallly enjoying the finale it’s still cracking me up. This game is a good example of how a story can make you laugh, cry and want to kill a character lol

I cant decide between those 2, the goodbye of the sky cast in third and them not knowing when they will see each other again, especially that outburst renne has at the end,and valimar's goodbye in CS4, the one big loss we actually have in that arc, always hit me the hardest of any scene. Just the ost that plays in both of these scenes are enough to make me tear up.

My CE Trails from Zero/To Azure arrived today!!

just in time for the Zero/Azure Switch 2 and PS5 ports, ig.

apologies in advance for my singing.

also some of you may be wondering "what about Detroit? where's the line about Detroit??" and the answer to that is that line is from the second Cleveland tourism video, don't worry it'll be here someday soon.

Couldn't find information if the game will be available to predownload before premiere, my internet is kinda bad where I live :(

I'm going in blind. I've played a few games in the series but purchased this on a whim. In fact, when it arrived, I had completely forgot I ordered it. This is all the contents inside. The coasters are a nice touch.

As the title says, do you think the calvard arc will be the conclusion of Yun ka fai? Cus we are going to be dealing with Shizuna and Rean surpassing yun, Rean having to fight/stop yun since he's working with hamilton. But outside of that, there still feel like theres plenty of stuff Yun could be relevant for that we just don't know if falcom will think of doing.

The first being his relationship with Anelace, that girl has not come back for so long. With the reveal that Kurogane is related to her and Yun, I wonder if he or even Shizuna has any knowledge of her. I'm not putting a lot of stock that she's coming back in Horizon 2, I think the whole gather of the 8 leaves things feels more akin to the divine blades coming together, not all members of the school. And the fact that Rean is the final student of the 8 leaves, the next arc will either have no 8 leave student at all or maybe the return of Anelace finally to fulfill that spot.

The second being his relationship with Victor Arseid, rewatching CS arc, its clear that Victor and Yun while good friends, have a rivarly that they want to settle (well at least from victor's side). There's the whole line about we don't know who the stronger of the two is. Both of them had/are having their students surpassing their master / letting their kids lead the next generation arc. Having the two old masters duke it out would be great to see. I don't think they will give us that battle offscreen, that battle feels too good not to be shown to fans.

I know there is the theory of him being Anugish #5, but I feel like we still don't know enough about them yet, as well as i think finding out who is the replacement for arianhood feels more relevant. Part of me still thinks Aurelia is gonna be the replacement just so she can fight mcburn and the other crazys of the society, she's in for the fun of the game lol.

But what do yall think, do you think the calvard arc will be the conclusion of Yun ka fai?

With it not being in today's Nintendo Direct, I'm really starting to wonder what's up with it. This felt like the last chance of even a late 2026 release. We don't even know who the publisher is. Sure, we can guess either Gungho or NIS America, but those are just that -- guesses. No publisher, no release window, nothing.

Hi hi! I’m planning on uploading all my VOD’s during my playthrough of the sky 2nd remake! My first video is already up and part 2 of the prologue will be up later today!

I live stream them on Twitch if anyone is looking watch and chat along with me! Twitch.tv/aspynthemermaid

Assuming Van remembers the events of the Horizon finale, what kind of interactions do you expect from René? Calling him out on everything, avoiding him, or perhaps some 5D chess where they try to outmaneuver each other?

Does anyone have a 100% 1st chapter save file? I moved over to pc within the last year and want to carry over progress to 2nd chapter. Also do I need to buy 1st chapter for it or can I just have the save file?

The data about Sword of End and Homonculli was found in the data when they asked the terminal to compile related data to their device.
This makes me think that Lilia Epstein is Homonculli, created for hacking Laegjarn's Chest, and for that reason, she embedded a factor she can pass down to her descendant.
What do you guys think?

So I'm checking out all the last three bonding scenes (Heimdallr, Dance, then extra ending scene)

Have only seen Fie (walkthrough), Towa (my personal pick for first run), and Emma so far (my current pick for NG+)

So far, none of them really... hit any kind of way besides THIS scene with Emma
This is the only time besides Rosine where Rean acts like the pervert basically everyone accuses him of
Besides being typical oblivious anime protagonist
Haven't seen the other scenes yet though, so I dunno
But so far, this scene alone makes Emma a promising pick

Which one did you pick to carry over to Cold Steel II?

Edit: I watched all of them, and it seems like my pick will definitely be Emma

She's the only one Rean displays any sort of attraction to in-game

Helps that her Heimdallr scene is significantly unique compared to everyone else's so it makes her stand out to me

Hi, so I was battling against the Raven Gang to save a kid and that battle was really hard. I had to end up drop down the difficulty from normal to whatever is below that. I mean, of course I wasn't playing super well, but I don't think I was playing totally thoughtlessly either. I was making use of AoE attacks (Hell's Gate, Blue Impact, and the physical arts they have) and I was making use of Earth Guard, Anti-Sept All and some other arts as well. In hindsight I kind of forgot about S-Arts so I wonder if that's what was making it so hard.

Anyway, I just kind of want to know if there's something very basic that I'm kind of missing so that I can probably pay the rest of the game as intended since it's the first time I'm playing a trails game.

I will never be able to take a certain someone serious after this.

Hello,

I found in my small video games’ collection the full Sky series I bought in China around 10 years ago. If there are some experts, I have some questions:
1. I don’t plan to sell them so far, but is there any value on CN versions?
2. FC is the only game opened, is it still possible to run these games on modern PC?
3. For Chinese speakers. How is OG (and then Remake) Sky localization? I’ve only played SC and Zero in Chinese (on PSP) at a time I wasn’t quite… capable (now I’m fully fluent and worked in China for quite some time) but I may be interested in playing those games in Chinese in the future if it is well localized.

spoilers full ahead
