Really interesting setting with a lot of worldbuilding. I hope they make more games in the future, as the story seems to be far from over. The comics were AWESOME, and the mystical and mysterious world is very good. Great atmosphere and pacing as well, I really LOVE the atmosphere of this game.
The gameplay is good yeah.

I'm lazy to write and do reviews to backloggd so I will make a summary

A much more mature game than the previous ones in the franchise

Individually, there are some amazing characters that caught my attention, but as a complete cast it's far from the best in the franchise

Agnès is the best main heroine ever made in this franchise so far even though I don't like her seiyuu too much

I wanna see more things about Van because I like him a lot, but I like all others protagonists than him

This game used some EXTREMELY interesting ideas that no other Kiseki had, I think if you've played you'll understand what I'm saying

MAN FINALLY AFTER 4537845723874 GAMES THEY FINALLY PUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRALSRITTER I'M GENUINELY HAPPY FOR THAT

easily the game with the worst soundtracks in the franchise

probably Kuro is a prologue to the great climax of the franchise and is fulfilling its role well

THIS KISEKI IS GOOD MAN THERE ARE SOME GREAT BUTTS

almata was kinda mid

Still overcoming the fact that shizuna uses a nodachi on her waist, it's physically impossible to get the sword out of there, first time kiseki physically misses, hope they fix it in kuro 2

I've high hopes for kuro 2 because of certain things



I think this is all I've to say without spoilers

tl;dr: Kuro no Kiseki has its ups and downs, but it was the second best starting point.
I don't understand much why this game is so hyped, as it didn't present interesting things as many people like to talk about imo

The best from the series. Better in everything that any other Atelier has ever presented.
It was better than the first game, but after the halfway it got very tiring and dragging, still very good

the best atelier and I'm sure this didn't sell that good just because of thighs, this atelier is really better than any other atelier. Better used characters, more dynamic cast, etc.

the best atelier so far but still a mid franchise
the game is very inconsistent (atelier in a nutshell) but this one is GREAT AMAZING EPIC PEAK at the right moments

this is the most repetitive game I've ever played

RUFUS ALBAREA...

I KNEEL.

tl;dr
I write this review with tears in my eyes, I finished it not even 5 minutes ago. This game concludes the entire first half of the entire franchise's story. Hajimari no Kiseki: the beginning of the end.

I replayed the entire franchise to play this game, yes, I played all the games again.

I've some issues with the game that I doubt you'll agree with everything I'm going to say, but it's my opinion in the end. First I'll start with the positives: Rufus Albarea, I kneel; C route was by far the best route in the entire game, and not only that, but also C team is the best team in the entire franchise, the most dynamic. Beware of that, best team for what a TEAM really is. In Sora no Kiseki, Estelle and Joshua shine, they're for me the best couple in the series and the best duo I've ever met, but a team for what Kiseki is would be a group of 4 people, Sora no Kiseki's cast is the best in the franchise for me, but as a team, bro, Nadia and Swin are amazing, and Lapis matches perfectly with C, it was an extraterrestrial dynamic, genius, I genuinely enjoyed it a lot. I like the SSS, but I prefer C team. I liked this team so much that I would play on it for the entire game, but unfortunately... the fact that I've to play with Lloyd's team and Rean. Rean's route was the worst of all, honestly I thought it was pretty mid, Lloyd's was good, but C route was a true masterpiece, man, I would score 10 for this game if it was only C route. And Rufus, bro, this is not a spoiler review, but the man is a legend for me now.

The beginning of the game was AMAZING, middle game was kinda bad, but the finale was AWESOME. Besides the fact group C carried the game, man, Rean's development in the final was fantastic. The whole game kind of informs you that one cycle has really ended and now another one is starting. Nadia and Swin have absurd potential. I really liked them both, btw.

Honestly, halfway through the game I was wondering why the fanbase likes this game so much, I found it a little overhyped, but after playing everything I understand a little. I still think it's a game below many others in the series, but I still think it was very well done. Almost ideal for almost everything the franchise has presented so far.

Btw, title screen OST is one of the best in the franchise as well, but the OST in overall isn't the best one.

For last, C Team................... you guys............ chad.

Also, postgame really pissed me off, it would be insanely better if it was before the ending.

Very well, friends... now all we have left is 2 and a half years... but we'll overcome what awaits us... SEE YOU IN CALVARD!!!!! MEGAMI NO KAGO WO!

what's up yupz I know you're reading this bro send me a message in my discord Ouji#0729 tmj irmao

Basic story (still good), the true end is pretty good, but insufficient. I was expecting a more elaborate story, but the game is more focused on gameplay. What a pity.

Good character cast and has potential.

Bizarre script holes, but the game is completely superior to the first one. Like, in every way.

After replaying it, I noticed how well like wine this game ages up, especially its final stretch, that managed to surprised me. The cast of characters is the definition of solid.

People when start Kiseki are usually looking forward to play kuro, crossbell arcs, van arkride, kevin graham or lloyd. When I started it, it was for estelle only, and I was already entirely satisfied with the trails in the sky trilogy.
Trails is the best of adventure genre, couple (Estelle and Joshua) and game of all time.

One of the biggest disappointments I've ever had with RPG
