Full of surprises until the very end. Bayonetta is such a cool character, the gameplay is good, boss fights are over the top but the graphics are really downgrading the overall experience. I'd love to see Bayonetta on a better device.
I was expecting a bad game but i had more fun here than in RE5. Not a great game but it's okay. It's a spinoff so it does the job to me.

I am a fan of the franchise for 25 years. And I like that you can not like one game and like the other in this franchise since everything is recreated each time. So i am going to be honest, i didn't like this one at all.
It was good at the beginning but the rhythm of the game became more and more tiring. The focus on Clive totally shadowed other characters like Jill and i didn't feel some arcs at all like the one with Hugo or Barnabas.
I liked the gameplay a lot and characters like Joshua, Cid or Dion make for the other characters. Sorry Clive but i wish Joshua had become the lead character midgame.
Overall not a bad game at all but just not for me this time.

I know a game story worked on me when the last part of it moves me a lot. I liked this group of friends and their roadtrip. The focus on their journey shadowed Lunafreya, ok, but it made everything more powerful because you do feel for Noctis. The DLC should have been in game instead but Prompto or Ignis story worked on me a lot.
Music wise, Yoko Shinomura did a perfect job.
The open world is pretty but there is nothing to do there unfortunately. It's the big flow of this game. No minigames just hunts.
But i loved it and it's not the bad game I heard about. And to know it ended Hajime Tabata's career while he took over Tetsuya Nomura's chaotic development is so unfair imo.

The fact that this game and Velvet are linked to a game like Zesteria is just crazy. This is so good compared to the other one, same universe but way cooler here, characters are well written. Really better in everything. Velvet is The best main character of the franchise to me.
I played this game after completing Cold Steel I and II. The universe built by Falcom studios is just fascinating. The originality of this franchise is that each serie of Trails is happening in the same continent but in a different country. And it is really coherent in its storytelling.
Characters in this game are great: Estelle and Joshua are one of my favorite game characters now. Gameplay is a bit old but if you like retro games like i do, no problem at all.

I hate to think like the majority of players but this time, i can't think differently. I played it recently and it became one of my favorite game of all time. The mechanics take a time to learn but when you got them, the game is just pure pleasure until the end. And the story is good too but don't forget to read everything to understand what's going on in this crazy city.
1999
I am so attached to this game. It's not perfect but i love this game and its characters.
The second game of this series has more action than the first one who introduced the country's problems. Estelle is such a gem of a character that you can't not feel for her. Ouroboros organization is explained here which helps a lot in the comprehension of the following titles.
No change in the gameplay but the number of characters help in managing the difficulty a bit higher this time.

The episode is the one I liked the least but the story has some good links with Crossbell/Erebonia events.
I liked Kevin & Ries story and the lore on the dominions and the squire. Olivert's goal and Osborne's one are a bit more explain here. This game is actually important to understand what's happening in the background of Class VII's journey in Cold Steel I and II. Also Renne's story was the big moment of this game to me.
However, the game could have been way shorter to be better. Some stories were really not that interesting and to me, just there to make the game bigger. The difficulty was sometimes really ridiculous with fights who seemed made to be lost (CB for example); like you think you have won but suddenly, the enemy has strangely four to five turns following and wipe out your team. There is no way of fighting to learn, it's just there to make you restart the fight with a boss with less HP.
Overall, not a bad game but it's not at the level of Sky SC at all or even FC.
