The Legend of Heroes: Trails is an incredibly sprawling JRPG series that can be almost as intimidating to start as it is rewarding once you become immersed in its kingdom-spanning adventure. At its heart, Trails as a series offers some terrific quests to follow, fantastic characters who grow and change over the course of years, and a combat system that's both fun to mash through and satisfying to get strategic with.
Kicking off properly in 2004, the series has just passed its 20th anniversary. With 13 main entries in the series (and some further spin-offs), this is certainly meaty – it'd take something like 710 hours to explore everything Trails has to offer. But don't let that put you off starting, as they're some of the best JRPGs around. A new game, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, just released as a lavish remake of the first game, meaning there's never been a better time to jump in than now.
