I agree with the other person that you should play the other games as well if you end up buying and enjoying this one, but I’m not sure why they’re telling you to start with Trails from Zero, since that’s the fourth game in the series. The first game is Trails in the Sky.
I have long wanted to get into the Trails series, but could never find an arc that I wanted to start at (other than starting from Trails in the Sky FC). This has given me the perfect opportunity to jump into a new Trails arc. I am about 10 hours in, and I'm loving the mature story. I'm excited to finally be experiencing a Trails game, and it runs amazing on the PS5. If you don't mind A LOT of reading, this is a very engaging experience. Highly suggested.
This! Switch is incredibly NOTORIOUS for making the font of the texts UNNECESSARILY so tiny for no apparent reason whatsoever!! I mean, why???? They didn't do this with any of their previous consoles.
Its a very good port, Falcom did it themselves not outsourced, still, this was Falcom new engine and the base hardware was the PS4 so its still a bit too much for the ageing Switch, hope Switch 2 can run Switch games with a improved mode or something...
HEAVY spoilers in this review. The only thing I'd say it's good for is to confirm that you should NOT get this game on switch. Looks very rough compared to the other consoles.
