The original was one of my personal top 3 stories, really captivated me. Problem is that I still remember the twists and 95% of the game‘s charm is the plot to me so I won‘t get a remaster.
I envy anyone who gets to experience this for the first time with uptodate graphics.
I do hope they touch up those iceskate-y run animations though, they look super awkward compared to the rest shown lol

As a Trails hater, I wholeheartedly disagree with you. I don’t think anyone should ever play these games, except Zero and Azure. Ignore everything else and pretend they don’t exist.

Why do you hate them?

The overarching story is just terrible and makes no sense, but the absolute worst are definitely the villains. You constantly get blue balled, every time you win the fights, but then lose in cutscenes, so you end up pretty much going nowhere.
Cold Steel constantly resets most progression at the start of each game, so you end up just spinning wheels for hours on end, building a relationship with characters that shouldn’t matter, until there’s a tiny bit of story (that contributes to the overarching plot) at the end of the game.
The exception in the series for me were Zero and Azure, which I genuinely liked, because of the much smaller setting and since it has nothing to do with the rest of the series, until the end of Azure, where some connection to the rest of the games is shoehorned in.

Wtf, Azure was the worst of those issues. Crossbell gets attacked by about a dozen villains, and your police squadron never gets to actually “defeat” any of them until the very last chapter.
