A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Just started Trails of Cold Steel 2 after beating Octopath Traveler 2. It's nice to come back to a JRPG where unit position matters. One of my favorite battle systems!
It's a lot of fun. Round-less has always been my favorite way to do turn-based. I wish they'd do more with field positioning too (like the final boss of Zero), but the character kits are almost always cool and I like that they are always throwing in a tweak or two for the battle system.
I'm honestly shocked that don't leverage that idea more where the terrain changes (unless they do later again in the series).
I started from Trails in the Sky FC two years ago and I actually regret not playing this series sooner. What's funny is I got FC as part of a bundle ages ago but never got around to playing it. I probably won't play the new remake until I finally catch up on all the games hahaha.
Yeah, I had to poke at Sky FC for a couple of years, and it took pandemic lockdown for me to get through it. I didn't get grabbed by the series until Sky 3rd. So glad I did, though. Zero and Azure are some of my favorite games ever.
I like what I'm seeing with the scenes in the upcoming remake, but my replay of FC/SC wasn't long ago so I'll certainly be patient on that.
