Still on Trails into Reverie.
I think I'm getting close to the end, finished Rean's Act 4 and now working on Lloyd's route. Game is a huge improvement over CS4 IMO, even though Lloyd's route is still too cheesy for my tastes.
Also, I kinda like the idea of the Reverie Corridor.
Reverie Corridor spoilers and some coments on CS4
This series tends to have a ton of sidequests, but in most games of the series the plot starts slow, and by the time it speeds up near the end the number of sidequests shrinks to focus on the main plot.
This however doesn't work on CS4, because you already start the game in a major crisis, making the classic JRPG trope of "why are you playing mini-games when the world is about to end" hit really hard.
Reverie also starts with a crisis, but takes a different approach to this: Most of the optional content takes place in this dream-like world where memories from the real world are hazy and time flows differently.
Since this is disconnected from the main story it also lets the developer play around, include characters from older games, let you mix parties from different routes, and so on.
It's an interesting approach to this problem.
Every time you mention Trails, you push me one step closer to buying Trails in the Sky SC.
Good to know the games are getting better and better, and you are still enjoying it.
Have fun!
Just to clarify, I though CS4 was one of the weakest game in the series, which is why I'm glad Reverie is a big improvement.
But even the weaker games in the series are fun, I did play CS4 for 80h-ish hours and had a good time - it just felt like a significant downgrade after CS3 which was one of my favorites.
Ah, that makes sense. Which is what I originally expected with such a big series. Some great games, and some not so great games.
Thanks for the explanation.
Exactly, it's hard to have all games be bangers when there's more than 10 of them already. But even the "worst" games are still a "B" in my opinion.
And I'm hearing very positive things about the next two (Kuro + Kuro 2) who were already released in Japan, hopefully won't be long before we get them in the west.
