YoY: -1 My Rating: 9.3/10
The best game in the Trails of Cold Steel series (though not the best The Legend of Heroes game), the second installment was one of the few games I've ever rushed to buy the moment I finished the previous game in a series. I remember quite vividly watching the end credits to the first game, and immediately afterwards ordering the second game online. Can't say I regret that decision. This was the perfect follow-up to the first game, with a wonderful sense of escalation in the story, raising the stakes and eventually wrapping up many of the main plot threads from the first game while also setting up the next two games in the series.
I like the increased variety in the gameplay, especially when it comes to the battles as in addition to the normal combat, the game properly introduces mech combat as a significant element going forward, something the later games would further expand on. I've already talked about the rest of the Cold Steel games, so I'm starting to run out of things to say here. To put it simply, there's exactly two series of games I like more than Trails, and neither of those has as many games in my top 50 as it does. It's an excellent series of RPGs, and I'm already looking forward to playing the next entry.
