Trails of Cold Steel: Decisive Edition
Hot on the heels of Tales of Vesperia is another updated version of a cult classic JRPG, Trails of Cold Steel: Decisive Edition. The Legend of Heroes series is one of the most criminally overlooked JRPG franchises out there, sporting great turn-based combat, fantastic characters, and overall engaging main plots.
Trails of Cold Steel is a great place to hop in with the series as it starts out a brand new story. You play as Rean Schwarzer, a student at the elite Thors Military Academy. Cold Steel takes a few cues from Persona in its school setting, following Rean and Class VII through their school life, as they become involved in a massive worldwide conflict.
You’ll need to choose how to spend your free time, who to hang out with, and what to do. The game’s combat, on the other hand, is turn-based with a twist. Your party and the enemy will take turns, but combat is entirely based around unit placement and area-of-effect on attacks.
Trails of Cold Steel is a gripping JRPG that slowly builds its characters and story. The Decisive Edition of the game adds upgraded visuals, more voice acting, and a high-speed option to speed things up. This is, by far, the best way to play a classic JRPG.
