Not sure if them doubling the playtime from 40 to 80 hours is a good thing given the pacing in the original game.
Depends if they are expanding the main story or this is more side quests and optional content.

I dropped this series because how fukking long SC was, game just kept going and going and going.

Visiting just the same places as the first game AND several times without fast travel or anything, fighting the same bosses twice, the never ending shytty dialogue.

Making it intentionally longer seems insane to me but looking at the running time of the other games I guess fans like that shyt?

Oh yeah, pacing and the amount of dialogue are the biggest cons of the series. It's the point to where I prefer Ys over Trails if talking about Falcom games.

I will say the world-building is top-tier, easily the best among JRPGs, especially considering how long it has been running. But after Azure, the series is pretty hit or miss even with the fans of the series. Honestly, I don't think it is worth it because the Cold Steel Saga is a fukking mess especially 3 & 4.

Lmao I had my eye on this but every comment in here is a turn off for this game.

So bs repetitive, padded dialogue with retread bosses and annoying characters? Guess I’ll pass. O well.

Try the demo and see how you feel.

Think it covers the whole prologue.


By the way this runs well on steam deck, put it on medium settings.
