Trails Into Reverie is a spectacular entry into the Kiseki/Legend of Heroes series. Did Nihon Falcom hit it out of the park on this one? In a truly ambitious title in an already ambitious series, Trails Into Reverie brings along Rean Schwarzer, Lloyd Bannings, and the enigmatic C to stop a new threat to Crossbell and Zemuria as a whole. Assembling quite possibly the largest cast in any game series, does Trails Into Reverie have what it takes to take the series to new heights? Well, let me just say that the game is almost perfect.
It took me over 100 hours to finish Trails Into Reverie on PS5, including all memories and doing post-game content.
I typically stream games in the Trails series here on this channel. I try to go live every Monday and Wednesday currently. Consider subscribing to the channel and check the Community tab regularly for stream schedules.

You can check out my playthrough of Trails Through Daybreak here (complete with time stamps): • Trails Through Daybreak
The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie (英雄伝説創はじまりの軌跡) is the tenth installment in the main Trails series. The game takes place after the Great Twilight and events of Trails of Cold Steel IV. It focuses the intertwining fates of three protagonists operating throughout Zemuria: the hero, Rean Schwarzer; the liberator, Lloyd Bannings; and the rogue, a masked person named "C". The perspective of the game alternates between these three groups through the Trails to Walk mechanism.

Rufu's character development can easily be applied to Crow, George, Ian and Arios characters who made mistakes in their lives but want redeem themselves.

@joaocbcneto 14 дней назад

3:40 my thoughts on it are the opposite. I feel Rufus actually sacrificing himself would have been a bit tone deaf since the scene right before it is Rean finally learning that he shouldn't do that exact thing. He needs to live, shoulder his sins and make up for them.

I think Rean summoning Tyrfing was because the spirit of Valimar had possessed that mech like it did in the final boss fight. I guess it's meant to foreshadow Valimar's return in the end so it didn't seem too much like an ass pull.

@muzhili9512 14 дней назад

oh, for how did Rean summoned his new mech, it's never been answered in any interview but it can be explained through some educated guesses. First, Ishmelga Rean is still an awakener but his whole existence still pretty ambiguous until our Rean tried to save the settlement from the Railway Cannon. So the Rean chapter 3 happened because Ishmelga Rean tried to stablize his existence. Rean and Ishmelga Rean are the same person from different dimensions(but now in the same dimension), so When our Rean felt that strong will of saving others, he got resonated with his alternated self. Since I just established the fact Ishmelga Rean is an awakener, the moment our Rean resonated with him would trigger a pseudo spirit path opening up, thus bring Tyrfing S to him. As proof, right after that, ishmelga Rean summoned Zoa Gilstine. you should saw similar outcome in scienfictions, the same person from different dimensions suddenly appeared in the same dimension, that dimension's causality system would try to maintain balance by either getting rid of one or just combine them together. And everything happened here is on the early stage of assimilation. So the causality system still kinda confused about two Reans. Thus our Rean shared same treatment with Ishmelga Rean=still considered to be an awakener in that scenario.

Appreciate the clarifications! That definitely helps.

I can't add on anything extra that hasn't already been said by either you or someone else in the comments, a very well done review as usual and I 100% agree on the story being the weakest part of Reverie as well as Lloyd route being the weakest, but he had his moments too, they just pale in comparison to the other 2 routes, I think the best part of the story of this game is actually the 3rd act, aka Lloyd and gang running from a burning building, Rean completely demolishing fake Arios in a 1v1 (and also somehow jumping all over the guardian statue). But then we get to C route and that route act 3 is absolutely INSANE, first off the Lapis as well as Swin and Nadia character moments go HARD here (you are Lapis, the one and only, Lapis Rosenberg), then Emperor the dumbass goes trying to talk badly about Swin and Nadia to the worst bunch of people he possibly could and then all of that culminates in being able to use "Analysis Complete" which is absolutely the most broken brave order ever, it's so broken that if it costed 8 BP it'd be broken, but it costs a measly TWO

@TheTheoLogan898 14 дней назад

I honestly couldn’t believe how much I liked the C route of this game. Swin, Nadia, and Lapis stole the show.

@RyeAkai 12 дней назад

Kinda sad how I feel like I'm the only person in the world who really enjoyed Lloyd's route. That said, I do think that maybe doing the game with just C as a protagonist could've been a very interesting idea. I think it certainly worked with Sky 3rd having a new protagonist in Kevin.

@belias360 13 дней назад

8:00 Trails the 3rd's entire plot is the result of AI, just FYI

@joaocbcneto 14 дней назад

Yeah, the Tyrfing stuff is kinda weird. I'm just assuming Ishmelga Rean popping up reactivated Rean's own stuff, in Cold steel 4 New Class VII can control their soldats remotely so I guess Rean summoned the Tyrfing on the same rules?

@TheTheoLogan898 14 дней назад

That would make sense. I could see that.

@drakenstoc4885 14 дней назад

I enjoyed almost everything about this game. Almost being the keyword. The combat was the best in the series to date (in my opinion), the story felt like a nice conclusion to the Crossbell/Erebonia arcs, I'm always down for seeing more of these characters... honestly, I loved every bit of that stuff. However, I hated the fact that you couldn't revisit locations you've been to in Erebonia. Once the story moves on from those parts of the game, you can no longer revisit them. Unfortunately, they thought it was a good idea to make it so that certain accessories could only be purchased in those locations (and they are EXPENSIVE when you first arrive). And those accessories were needed to make some of the high-end accessories you could make toward the end of the game. Speaking of Crossbell, the fact that you can't revisit it after the final boss fight for the main story was also annoying. Locking you into the Reverie Corridor meant that you no longer had access to the accessories that were being sold in Crossbell. Again... I'll never understand why they did that. All in all though, I thought it was a great game. One of the best in the series for sure.

@TheTheoLogan898 14 дней назад

I did think it was odd how the game just locked you into the RC after the game ended. You'd think they'd include some fun side-quests that would unlock in the different areas for more postgame content.

@drakenstoc4885 14 дней назад

@@TheTheoLogan898 I would have settled for just being able to go back to the shops in all the different towns/cities. Or better yet, have their stock appear in the Reverie Corridor's shop. But yeah, adding new post-game side quests in those areas would have been cool too, and it is a real shame that they didn't. I'm actually a sucker for good post-game content in RPGs. Ever since experiencing Lunar 2's postgame, I've felt like every RPG should have them in some form. Unfortunately, many don't. At least they added postgame content in the Reverie Corridor. I'm really glad they did that.

@berkegunes7775 14 дней назад

Your reviews are great and you try to be as objective as possible. I love this style. Yes, the Llyod route is not fun. The prologue and the last chapter are nice, but the remaining chapters felt like incredible filler to me. It was like a bad repeat of the Crossbell games. That's why I didn't like it very much. The Rufus route was really good. I think the Rean route is at the OK level. The Crossbell arc is my favorite arc and I think Azure is the pinnacle of the series. After that comes the Sky arc and I have to say SC is my favorite game after Azure. Personally, I want Falcom to abandon the style of the Cold Steel arc and make games in the style of Sky and Crossbell again. Plays that last 2-3 episodes and have a smaller space with a smaller cast. They already said that it would be like this after the Calvard broadcast. Maybe we will get new games of Sky SC and Azure quality. That's why I'm waiting with curiosity. Finally, I think the Cold Steel arc was extended unnecessarily. They could have finished the entire arc in 2-3 games. I hope they have learned from their mistakes in this regard. (I'm not counting Kuro 2, that game wasn't even planned)

@TheTheoLogan898 14 дней назад

Thanks for the feedback! What little I’ve played of Daybreak, it’s been nice to get away from the Cold Steel formula. Here’s to a brighter future for the series!

@jmporkbob 14 дней назад

I feel like the story of Reverie is its weakest part, and probably even the weakest story in the whole series. But fortunately the main story is barely 20% of the game, and everything else around it is a masterclass. As far as Elysium, yes it was able to calculate and know about the events of different timelines, and used that knowledge to create Ishmelga Rean in this timeline. Nevermind how Elysium was somehow able to recreate the power of TWO Sept-terrions. I think it would have been much better if Ishmelga Rean was able to find that this timeline had Elysium, and somehow made his way here to use Elysium for his own purposes. The power of the Sept-terrions is well established at this point, and would have been much more believable than some new thing somehow recreating them But for the AI thing itself, you gotta remember that this game came out in 2020 BEFORE AI was an oversaturated, overdiscussed topic. I liked how they integrated its existence with previous lore. As far as Rean summoning Tyrfing out of nowhere, the game never really explains this. People have speculated that it is related to the events of the game, or because of the remaining shade of Valimar or probably some other stuff. But I don't really care about an explanation, because it's a garbage plot point even IF the game had tried to explain it. P.S. The picnicking squad is goated.
