Are You Playing Trails to Azure?

The second game in Falcom’s ‘Crossbell’ duology has finally been officially released in the West, and existing fans will know how much of a big deal that is. Trails to Azure is the explosive sequel to Trails from Zero, and these two titles feed directly into the Trails of Cold Steel series. What a time to be alive!

If you’re a fan of more traditional Japanese RPGs, then we couldn’t recommend Trails to Azure enough. Together with its predecessor, you’ve got one of the most gripping role-playing sagas in (relatively) modern gaming.

Indeed, we gave this sequel a rare and impressive 9/10 in our Trails to Azure PS4 review, piling praise on its characters, storytelling, and the way that it enriches the aforementioned Cold Steel arc. “In terms of impactful plot points, Azure is up there with the finest of Trails titles — a twisting, turning, gripping RPG that should really be considered a classic,” we wrote.
