Story:
This game is very different from FC and SC in terms of storytelling and progression. The story is all exposition of existing characters in the trails series. It answers a lot of questions regarding the ending of SC and where the story will go. This being the end of the "sky" arc, doesn't mean the whole story of trails is complete. This is merely a fraction of a grander story. If you loved the characters from FC and SC. You'll definitely love the story content this game has to offer. I highly recommend installing the EVO VoiceMods and Visual Mods for a better experience. You can find those somewhere in the discussion forum.

Gameplay:
Combat is still the same as FC/SC, turnbased grid strategy, whatever you want to call it. After having played both FC and SC on hard, you'll realize just how OP some of the skills are in the game, which become your bread and butter for the whole game. If you aren't particularly experienced with turn based jrpgs you should just play on normal. The game is not forgiving at times and even trash can wipe you easily. This third installment unlike the previous games, plays more like a dungeon crawler. If you've played YS:Origin, the way you progress is very similar to that.

Overview:
If you've played FC and SC, you're definitely gonna want to play this one. If you haven't played FC and SC, don't play this and start at the beginning of the series! The trails series is a long one and requires a lot of time investment. This is easily a 60+ hour game, just to beat the main story and side stories. It isn't as great as the previous games, but I still highly recommend it.
