Consuming more of your precious free time, the reworked version of Trail in the Sky JRPG is here, with a projected playtime of approximately 80 hours - double the length of the initial game.
The remake of the classic JRPG, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, is set to offer an extended playtime compared to its original version. According to Nihon Falcom's CEO, Toshihiro Kondo, the remake is expected to take approximately 80 hours to complete, double the runtime of the original game, which was roughly 40 hours[1].
The Trails series, now considered legendary, is known for its extensive storylines, immersive gameplay, and captivating characters. The remake of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is no exception, offering a reimagining of the cult classic The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky[2].
The remake features several enhancements that contribute to the extended playtime. These include larger maps for exploration, the addition of optional real-time action combat, and an increase in voiced lines and quests[3][5]. The game also boasts modernized visuals, audio, controls, and combat, making it more accessible to both newcomers and long-time fans[4].
While not all JRPGs reach the 80-hour mark, the Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter remake is notable for its expansion in content and playtime compared to similar games in the genre. For instance, Grimoire of the Rift, a tactical JRPG, is noted for having over 80 to 90 hours of content when considering all aspects[4].
The remake of Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is coming to PlayStation, Switch, and PC, and can be Wishlisted on Steam[6]. The original game, remembered fondly by many as a pretty good time, featured a snappy feel due to quick text scrolling[7].
Despite the game's popularity, the speaker finds the story about a brother/sister duo in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter cliché[8]. However, the remake's modern updates and extended playtime are likely to attract both newcomers and long-time fans of the series.
