Thanks to Nihon Falcom, NIS America, Geofront and PH3 for making this series more accessible than ever, so that more people can discover it, because it truly is a series of games that once you get hooked on…there’s nothing like it. If you love the Lore of the Trails series…this game is incredible in that aspect but it’s up to you to discover all of it, and enjoy it. The characters that the Crossbell saga introduces in the series…are some of the best, and you can be sure they’ll have a lot more stories to tell us in the future. With Trails into Reverie coming July 2023, it is now a very good moment to play this series, either by revisiting it, or playing for the first time. If you’re discovering Trails for the first time and this will be your first time with this game and saga, enjoy: what comes next exists thanks to this, because the Crossbell Duology connects many dots from the Sky saga with the Erebonian (Cold Steel) saga so, if you haven’t played any of the Cold Steel games yet…I also envy you, because I have, and you’re all set to go for it, right after Azure.

And what a Soundtrack: this game has some of my favorite tracks from any Nihon Falcom game, and I like a lot of them from many, many games but…this game has some truly epic ones.
THE LEGEND OF HEROES TRAILS OF AZURE PC
Much like their previous port for Trails From Zero, Azure runs exceptionally well on many different PC setups, I had no issues running the game at 1620p DLDSR and locked at 120 FPS on my R5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, overkill for this game, but the positive here is that the PC is barely using any resources, very low power and the GPU fans are not even on, haha, all very silent, so we can listen to the incredible Soundtrack in this game. However, rising tensions in Crossbell along. The story of aspiring hero Lloyd Bannings continues in Trails to Azure Set just a few months after the events of Trails from Zero, a temporary peace has settled over Crossbell and the Special Support Section find themselves with newfound fame and status, thanks to their heroic actions. Durante and his team at PH3 come back again to deliver us, PC users, one of the best PC ports for a JRPG that we can enjoy in this platform, the attention to detail in the various extra game settings included is a treat, I feel so happy whenever a new game in this series is ported to new, modern platforms, and here we are again. Following the events of Trails from Zero, the Special Support Section find themselves with new members and new duties. As the last game in the series that uses the more classic style for the character models, Azure is such a polished RPG, a culmination of all the lessons the developers learnt along the way in previous games, with the Sky trilogy, and a step up in every single aspect over Trails From Zero, also an excellent game, of course. As the last game in the series that uses the more classic style for the One of Nihon Falcom’s finest, and a crucial game for this series. One of Nihon Falcom’s finest, and a crucial game for this series.
