Booting up Azure, it was like hanging out with a friend you haven't seen for a long time but immediately picking things off as if no time has passed at all. Even for its faults, there is a special charm to the city of Crossbell and its surrounding regions that immediately managed to pull me back in. Much like its predecessor, Azure retains the same liberal use of side quests to help further flesh out the land of Crossbell that fans can expect from any Trails title. You will be visiting many of the same locations, fighting the same monsters in the fields, seeing some of the same spell effects, characters, and the list goes on, but don’t assume that Azure isn’t chock-full of surprises and new mechanics take advantage of.
#LEGEND OF HEROES TRAILS IN AZURE FULL#
Fans of the old squad won’t have to wait too long into Azure for their old favorites to rejoin though, granting you a full squad of six heroes instead of the previous games’ core four.Īs a direct sequel, there is a lot of carryover from the previous game when heading into Azure. The Special Support Section has seen a bit of a shake-up with old favorites Tio, Randy, and Elie away, contending with their own escapades while new, yet familiar, faces Noel and Wazy have joined Lloyd. Trails to Azure picks up a couple of months after the end of Trails from Zero, with Crossbell still recovering and dealing with the aftermath of Joachim and his D:G Cult shenanigans.
After some time away, it’s time to bust out the ol' Enigma orbmant, and Zeit treats and rejoin the Special Support Section and get back on the case. This latest release marks the first chance that Trails fans have (officially) been able to experience this second adventure in the city of Crossbell and the start of a year full of Trails goodness! I've been eagerly waiting for this second half of the Crossbell Arc, and the wait is finally over. The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure has finally arrived, and Crossbell is calling. If you have not yet played Zero, play that first before taking on Azure, as it is a direct continuation of the narrative and events of the previous game! Note: This review for The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is going to assume that you have played through or at least played a good deal of its direct prequel, Trails from Zero, which was released last year (you can read our review of that, here).
