For anyone who didn’t get on board with the Trails over a decade ago, the most common worry you see is that the series is simply too big — and that’s a legitimate worry. When you have 14 games that tell a continuous story, where do you start? Especially with the first Trails in the Sky, on PSP and PC, it feels a bit like a relic of a past age.
But everything changed with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a dazzling from-the-ground-up remake of the very first game — now giving anyone, and everyone, a definitive place to start. But even more fascinating is the dual purpose this remake served, not just for longtime fans and new ones, but for the developers of Falcom, too.
