Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter captures everything that made the original so endearing while giving it an impressive makeover that enhances its elegant storytelling and charismatic cast.

Direct sequels simply don't get much better than Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter. With its already excellent predecessor setting the stage, this brilliantly heartfelt RPG is free to tell an outstanding character-driven story.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter continues its winning streak with excellent storytelling, robust and fluid hybrid action/turn-based combat, and jaw-dropping music and environmental design.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is an incredible sequel and a thrilling worldbuilding adventure in its own right.

They’re massive storytelling endeavors that are always compelling in their ambition and earnestness, with a massive cast of characters who are a joy to spend time with. Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is very much an iterative sequel to the first remake, and that’s all it really needed to be.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is an excellent remake that successfully modernizes Falcom's classic JRPG without compromising its stellar narrative. By integrating the snappy hybrid combat mechanics from Trails through Daybreak, a seamless world structure, and quality-of-life additions like High Speed Mode, the game eliminates virtually all dated gameplay friction, making it a must-play for every fan of the genre, even with its slow-paced nature.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter continues the saga of Estelle Bright in an epic RPG adventure.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter picks up directly where the climactic ending of the first chapter left off. Estelle is once again on Joshua’s trail and continues her fight against the evil Ouroboros. The story is full of plot twists, but what stands out most in the series is the excellent construction of a detailed and believable world, thanks in part to the many well-developed supporting characters. The gameplay remains top-notch, featuring a hybrid combat system that blends action and turn-based elements, along with a well-designed character progression system. Technically, the game certainly isn’t at the cutting edge of this generation, and the environments, in particular, lack detail but the audio is excellent, with very expressive Japanese voice acting and a soundtrack that effectively complements the narrative. Unfortunately, it’s worth noting that once again, there is no Italian translation. But 2nd Chapter remains an outstanding JRPG, and we can’t wait for the upcoming remakes and the continuation of this long-running series!

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is the payoff 1st Chapter was building toward. The dungeons and backtracking keep it just short of perfect, but the storytelling and presentation are as good as RPGs get right now.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is one of the best JRPGs of 2026 and as a must-play title for fans of Nihon Falcom’s game series. Players will find a deep story filled with endearing, well-developed characters and an excellent evolution of the hybrid combat system. Although the leisurely pace of the early chapters slightly slows initial progression, the quality-of-life improvements, refreshed visuals, and the powerful conclusion—which kicks off the climax of the Liberl region arc—deliver an outstanding experience designed for both newcomers and veterans of The Legend of Heroes universe.
