![]() ![]() While the game does provide a summary of what happened in Trails from Zero as well as character profiles for nearly all of the important characters in the first game it really would do players a disservice to jump in here. When it comes to a game in The Legend of Heroes franchise the question that always comes up is whether this is a good place to start and when it comes to Trails to Azure the answer is certainly no. ![]() Combine this with the character moments that the franchise is known for and Trails to Azure tells a gripping and emotional tale that players will adore. It must be said that, outside of the introduction and a more slice of life intermission that gives fans a bit of breathing room, this storyline is one that keeps things interesting and well-paced throughout, with a number of unexpected twists, dramatic moments, and even a number of special appearances from familiar faces, both good and bad. It also helps that there are a number of more personal stakes intertwined with these conflicts as well, with the writers taking full advantage of the bonds players have built up through the first game to pull at their heartstrings in this following release. With political turmoil brewing throughout the city and the surrounding nations, numerous dangerous organizations moving into the region, and threats from the past resurfacing, Trails to Azure’s storyline goes places that fans will definitely not be expecting, as it almost constantly keeps players guessing as to what can happen next. Of course, letting these character interactions and developments shine doesn’t stop Trails to Azure from being one of the best-paced and well-written storylines in the entire franchise as even the signature slower start of The Legend of Heroes games doesn’t quite apply here since this game hits the ground running. That being said, the original cast members still get plenty of love throughout the story with a number of major character arcs developing nicely as the game progresses. This bit of extra breathing room allows players to get reacquainted with these two characters again and learn a bit more about them and witness their interactions with the townsfolk and fellow SSS members, as writers have already had an entire game to flesh out the original four party members. Noel serves as a great addition to the cast with her loyal but easy to confound personality, while Wazy continues his playful yet aloof interactions with the rest of the cast. ![]() In the meantime, Lloyd introduces two new members to the SSS, though they will be familiar faces for fans as Noel Seeker, the former sergeant of the Crossbell Guardian Force, and Wazy Hemisphere now join the team as permanent members. Once completed, he quickly finds himself joining back up with Elie, though the reunion with Randy and Tio will take just a bit longer. Lloyd Bannings, the leader of the group, finds himself working alongside a number of important figures as he hunts down some loose ends from the previous game’s events. ![]() A few months have passed since the events of Trails from Zero and the members of the Special Support Section (SSS) have split up to focus on a number of important tasks that have fallen to them as the group has now become a household name, well respected by the residents of Crossbell and even the local guilds. ![]()
