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.

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.
