Wow. In 2016 I started playing all the main line final fantasy games in order. I made it to 10 hours into FF4 before I needed a break from the same style of game. I then jumped to 7 to play that with my brother and kinda lost Interest since I didn't play them in order. I should go.back to 4 though

Someone’s been busy lol

[@hhaammzzaattaarraaff3313]

Where to start ? Start with whichever game you like but know that if you became a fan you're eventually going to return to the titles you didn't play So where to start The definitive best Answer will always be by release order AKA the trails in the sky trilogy

[@CrimRui]

Or they watch KZbin videos and become tourists.

[@philipboes1100]

this is the best answer, right here. I started with cold steal played all of them and then when backwards from there. also small thing to note is to go in by the JP release order, over in the west they are out of order

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

Trails in the Sky the 3rd "is entirely skippable.". I love David, but this is lies. You do not want to skip any of the Trails games, especially Sky the 3rd. 3rd heavily sets up the events for the next 7 games, to a significant degree. Skipping Sky the 3rd is like skipping the Avenger films, even though you watch Marvel movies. But to an even more significant degree.

[@xxxxkanexx5761]

I would love a Trails in the Sky port to PS5, Switch, ect .. Something in line with the Crossbell series for the Sky series! Seems how it just passed the 20th anniversary of the first game I think they should do something with that, they must know it would be like printing money!!

[@DozenMarks]

This is mostly what I'm waiting on. I want to hop in but I'm not starting late, and the Sky trilogy just isn't available where I want to play it.

Trails time with David I feel you can start anywhere but honestly play from the beginning of the series with any game sounds good also

[@jlatio1]

I just finished trails in the sky FC and SC and was looking for where to go next, thanks David this was extremely well timed for me.

[@Amberle38]

Well, I would suggest NOT skipping Sky 3rd personally, despite what David says. It's an epilogue game for the 1st 2, but it also really sets up the rest of the series & is a very good game in it's own right too!

[@Strawhat_Pirates3D2Y]

Skipping Sky the 3rd is like skipping the Avenger films, even though you watch Marvel movies. But to a much more significant degree. Sky the 3rd heavily sets up the plot for the next 7 games and on. You will be missing out on much more than that as well. Character development, world building, and playing your Sky trilogy dream team(s) throughout the vast majority of the game. As well as play as characters you didn't get to play as before, like Renne.

Been going through the series myself over the last two-ish years and I'm at Cold Steel 3 at the moment. I might not have caught up in time for Daybreak but I will for the next one! 😇 It's such an amazing series. Well worth the time to invest!

[@Shinky]

I started with cold steel myself, I didn't feel like I missed out on any information. It felt like a complete experience in itself. (until cold steel 4 at least) I say as long as you start at the beginning an Arc then you'll be okay.

[@Lamasis2]

I can't say anything else than to start with Trails in the Sky FC, you will get constantly spoiled if you start somewhere else.

[@ChrisMS0815]

Exactly, I see some Trails fans constantly tell people "start with Zero, start with Cold Steel, then you can go back and play Sky etc". Why? Don't they know characters, events, and backstories from Sky are spoiled if they start anywhere else.

[@shin40k]

I fell into Cold Steel heavily when the pandemic picked up in 2020, 100% cold steel 1-3 but hit major burn out when 4 dropped and still haven't come back. I love the world, and I will come back, but the backlog demon is always growing. Side note, I don't know if you meant to not mention Trails into Reverie, but I believe that's like an epilouge game after everything but before Daybreak. (I still haven't gotten to this one either 😢 )

[@KokoPandaa]

playing all from sky, zero, cold steel 1-3 was good and 4 is satisfying but the next series reverie make me burn out lol so many heroesssssss

[@Mintcar923]

I didn't go in a perfect order but it mostly worked.. Granted I haven't even finished every game myself if I had to do it over again I'd go Cold Steel 1-4, Sky trilogy, Crossbell duology, Reverie, then Boundless.. I can't comment on Daybreak yet cause hadn't played

[@GrayWolf323]

I’m in a similar spot, I finally started from Sky 1 about a year and a half ago and when I got to the true final dungeon during the epilogue in Cold Steel 2 (after playing through all of the Liberl & Crossbell arcs) roughly 2 months ago I just wanted that game to be over with so I put it down to take a break & still haven’t gotten back to it😅

You either start in a first game in a new arc and then go backwards or look up story summaries. Or you just start from trails in the sky FC. Trails in the sky3rd is not skippable

Even if they weren't all a connected story, I'd still want to play em all just because they look like a ton of fun. I have started a Sky FC save that I want to get back to soon, though I couldn't resist the Daybreak demo and man, I am already charmed by the characters and setting!

[@liamblake1614]

Playing the demo as I watch this! Never played trails, but you and just the gems have inspired me to check it oit

[@sirlancewott]

Started with Cold Steel 1-2, went back to Sky and Crossbell, then replayed 1-2 before starting 3. Having those small lore gaps filled in and being more familiar with the world made those replays so enjoyable and refreshing. David is absolutely correct, pick a game that looks really interesting to you and just play it. I literally had Cold Steel on my wishlist because I thought the title and art looked cool, after my friend gifted to me as a b-day present I had no idea the massive hole I was going into nor would it be one of my most favorite games/series. Had I started with Sky, I might've been deterred from the series due to a few poorly aged mechanics.

[@Kejosruler]

I also started with Cold Steel 1 and because of the massive cliffhanger I played Cold Steel right after that. Then I dropped it in the epilogue because of you playing those characters I had not heard about before and after that I decided to start from the beginning. So far I played Sky FC and Sky SC and once Sky 3 is on sale on Steam I will get that and continue

[@veespa_]

From August to December last year, all I played was Trails, from Zero through Reverie. I had watched recap videos of Sky Trilogy, but have since gone back and started the first three. Having beaten SC just last night and prepping to play The 3rd later, I can say that the _entire_ series is a worthwhile investment, and starting with the first game would’ve been better, although Zero was a great starting place with the recaps. Trails has become my favorite game series of all time and I’m happily planning on NG+ of every single game after beating The 3rd until I get to Daybreak - even if that means not playing it at launch!

[@ragegaming6063]

A good idea for a video. Tropes you hate in video games. The Trails games have a ton too. Every boss battle goes like this... you kick their ass, they weren't trying hard/using all their power so you didn't actually win. They power up and are about to take you out but at the last second somebody shows up to save you and fight them off. The same people eventually join your squad but are for some reason no stronger than you are. Another one is no one is actually ever dead. Also the main characters are oblivious to the opposite sex and at no point even consider doing stuff with a person whose throwing themselves all over them.

[@SethWilson]

Thanks for this! I’ve been wanting to try trails for some time.

[@MegamanNG]

This is what I'm hoping to find out. I still need to get the original Trails in the Sky trilogy. I may also need to invest in another Vita Memory Card because the one I have may have some issues.

Hi David! My first Trails game was Trails in the Sky. However, the first Trails game I FINISHED was Trails of Cold Steel . And now, I am currently working through Trails from Zero. So yeah, I am all over the place. 😄Have a blessed day David and everyone commenting!

[@davidvinc]

Very cool! The key is to just start!

[@demise0]

I have to disagree that Daybreak is separate in the way you state. It starts that way, much like Cold Steel starts in a way where it seems independent of earlier games. But earlier events and characters have a little more relevance in Daybreak II, and based upon the preview material for Kai no Kiseki (Japanese name for the coming 3rd game in the Arc - probably "Daybreak III"), the entire roster of older characters and all storylines throughout the entire series from Sky, Crossbell, & Cold Steel plus Daybreak will all collide & climax here. Daybreak I, much like Cold Steel I, could be a good place to start to see if you want to delve into the series. But if you decide to take it up, it will require going back and playing the older games to avoid getting entirely lost in the future of the series.

[@Trace153]

The start….. (shocker)

[@ChrisMS0815]

Japanese release order, why is this so hard. I feel like this question gets asked so much every time a new game releases is cause they just keep looking for validation from fans to not have to go back and play "ugly old games".

[@athrun2]

I found that sky 1 & 2 are their complete story, with 3d being the rap up & foreshadow to tie it all together. then crossbess & cold steel, which I consider a pair of duologies more than a tetralogy, kind of form a story Y, with cs 3 & 4 almost feeling like sequels to crossbell as much as to cs 1 & 2. then reverie is the sky 3rd of the crossbell/erebonia, tying up loose ends & more foreshadowing, though seemingly less foreshadowing than sky 3d itself. or more succinctly, the gospel plan & its cap and the phantasmal blaze plan & its cap. I'm thinking, from the admittedly deliberately very little I know as I've avoided as much as I can, that kai might be daybreak's sky 3rd. could _totally_ be wrong on that, again: deliberately avoiding info on it like I do all trails games so I can go in with as few spoilers as possible

[@nathanielknight1838]

Trails in the Sky. Not even close. You can start with Zero, Cold Steel 1, you can start with Kuro for all I care but it's like picking up during the 4th season of a TV show. 3rd is NOT fucking skippable. It ties up so many story lines or dives deeper into existing ones and sets the stage for the upcoming games while giving you a better idea of the actual powers of the Sept-Terrions and the entire history of the beginning of the world you now live in. If you care at all about the story, you don't skip this. Ffs, with turbo mode, all these games are done pretty in maybe 30 hours each.

[@sofiee8531]

I’m halfway through the Gagharv arc (not featured in this video), and I just love seeing how the games develops, from a rather trash first game (Prophecy of the moonlight witch) with boring combat, really over-the top cute main characters and frankly a horrible combat music theme, to the second game Tears of Vermillion with far more interesting and adult main characters, more side quests, the same combat system unfortunately but now with GOOD music! Thankfully these are short games, but the story and characters always make me want to play “just a little more” to see how it turns out… so I’m loving this series even before it gets trademark “good”, so I’m really looking forward to the rest! I am gonna play them in Japanese release order, just to see how they develops! Some sort of “true chronological order” will have to wait until an eventual replay… ;-)

[@Mattwbw]

Well, I started with Cold Steel 1 and am now on Act 1 of Cold Steel 2. But I do plan on playing Zero and Azure before Cold Steel 3 and 4. But hopefully the Sky games are re-released by the time I finish Zero and Azure as ideally I want to play Cold Steel 3 and 4 last. Then Reverie and Daybreak and so on.

[@arkavalon5347]

I started with Zero last year, and find that even in EASY mode, I still find myself being badly beaten by the bosses. I'm curious on the rest of them, but not sure on which one I should go after next. Yeah, I'm not that good in RPGs, but I just wanted to enjoy the story, and realized that some parts of game are locked out based on difficulty as well, like some bosses data and items. Still liking the series though. Any suggestions for what's next?

[@tekguru8]

Started from Trails in the Sky when I bought it from GOG. Glad that Sky 2 was already released on GOG by the time I finished the first one. Because if you know the ending.... Played every one since and I'll be ordering the Sky remakes whenever they get announced to complete my physical collection.

[@staccato5952]

Personally I advice ppl to just start chronologically. Maybe skipping Sky 3 even tho I love me my boy Kevin. Since Sky 3 tends to be the closure game however not rly heavy enough in terms of lore to warrant a required playthrough. Respectfully.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm playing Sky FC instead of Daybreak as of now anyway though.

Bought a Steam Deck a few months ago so that I can play the whole Sky trilogy (since 3 isn’t available on Vita). Playing Star Ocean 1&2 remakes now then thinking I may finally jump down the Trails rabbit hole

Im going to have to be honest: i started with CS1 and kept going from there. I finished trails from Zero and i need to finish trails from azure. You can start from any arc and be perfectly fine. Just know if certain characters and plots comr up, you will be confuse. But a simple google search will help with that

[@John_Alter]

I started with Trails of Cold Steel as my first Trails game on PS Vita. I tried to get into Sky but unfortunately the remaining games were on PC which I didn’t have at that time and the Crossbell games were not localized yet. Played through Cold Steel 1 & 2 on Vita and 3 & 4 on Switch.

Trails of mediocrity, the series is fine . Into sky was my favorite one. The story snd characters were the best. Cold steel is the worst one.

[@latenightinsomnia1917]

The series is great but finishing one game can get you burned out. Especially if you're playing them all at once. I only finished Trails of cold steel 1, and 3. Somehow trails of cold steel 2 and 4 prevented me from completing them.

[@Rebelutiongaming]

I think if you're adamant about playing through the entire series you should start with sky FC, but if you're on the fence I think cold steel 1 is the best starting point (may change my opinion after I play through daybreak)

[@hx9]

Don't start trails until 2035 when the Sky trilogy remake is made as a single game... oh sorry, I meant 2038 when the English translation comes out

[@GrayWolf323]

I think the Steam Deck is quite honestly the perfect way to play through the series, plus there’s mods which aren’t too difficult to get installed to let you play through the Sky trilogy with voice acting and other improvements from the Evo releases that never came to the West 😁

[@letterm6656]

The trails series narrative unfold in 2 plot lines, the main self contain plot within its respective saga , and the larger overarching plot that bridged the series as a whole. As long as you don't jump on in the middle of an ongoing saga, there's no "true" jump on point.

[@JulieFalcom]

I think any first part of an ark would work. Of course first Sky game is mostly recommended, but Cold Steel (till II) and Daybreak (I'm assuming) would work well enough too not get spoiled. Zero contains some Liberl lore, but it could work too. I started with Cold Steel because I couldn't get into Sky FC, and I didn't regret it at all.

[@Artimes.]

As a purest I would say, start from the beginining, but realistically if you a follow a general rule of starting with any first game in an arc, your ok. So for example, Cold steel 1, Trails from Zero, or Trails in the sky. But never start in the middle of an arc like Trails to azure or Trails of cold steel 3, ect. Since Trails of daybreak is the start of a brand new arc, then it is ok to play that if you want to but don't skip to Fairwell to Zemuria lol

I think Daybreak, or any of the other arcs, are good starting points. However, Sky is clearly the best if you want the complete experience in the correct order. The issue with Sky, more than graphics is that XSEED holds the license... Getting a remaster as is would be difficult... And we also have that issue with Cold Steel 1 & 2. Switch deserves to have at least those 2. It's weird having Zero/Azure, and then CS3/CS4. I wish Falcom could make a deal with XSEED for them to publish ports of those games.
