Episode Notes
It’s another Pantheon of the Blood God, and this time the beloved Trails in the Sky is up for a spot. This beloved top-down JRPG is the catalyst for Falcom’s Trails series as we know it today, including Trails of Cold Steel. Progenitors of long-lived series tend to feel real old, real fast, however. How does Estelle and Joshua’s adventure hold up to its many predecessors? Is it still playable and easy to love, or does it have the scent of the crypt about it? Join Kat, Nadia, Michael Higham, and Cam Hawkins as they decide if Trails in the Sky deserves to be held aloft, or shot down.
And, yeah, the brother and sister thing comes up in the conversation. Don’t worry your weird little head. Next up: Golden Sun!
