"Why is my present a BOY?"

Trails (or The Legend of Heroes to be more exact) is a series that I wanted, but never had much urgency or need to play in my gaming adventures. However, when I was killing bugs and defending democracy I thought "why not use this pre-SMTV and Dawntrail time to explore my repertoire of famous jrpgs?", well, I did.

Trails in The Sky, the first in a trilogy, works exactly like an anime with hundreds of episodes and you're only in the first major arc. It's a simple story, which leaves a LOT unanswered, perhaps that's why it's a trilogy. Other than the combat being whatever and indifferent to me, I don't think I have anything bad to say about this game. The characters are charismatic and Estelle is a good protagonist (she really carries the boring Joshua).

The "Materia" (Quartz) system is cool, but I hope to have more variety in skill usability in future entries, because there are really 4-5 skills that are very, very strong, and the others are completely ignorable.

That's it. A good first impression of a big jrpg franchise, and ends up making you want to jump straight to the sequel. (more series for me to forget that I had to finish, let's go!)
