Trails through Daybreak - Release Date Announcement Trailer | Coming July 5, 2024 to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC

Man I'm going out of town at the end of the month in July. I'll have to pick this up after I get back I don't want to have to stop mid way through and not finish. Going to try and get the plat this time if I can. I've always wanted to get the plat in one of these games at least. Almost did it trails into reverie but missed a chest at the beginning of the game.

Does it mean it still requires playing the others to get context or it's a completely new universe ala Final Fantasy and Tales of?

From my experience it will eventually require you to play the other games. Usually the first 1 or 2 games in a new arc will be separated enough so that it's ok to start there. After that they tend to pull a lot of characters and plots from previous games. Then again I haven't played this arc so that might have changed with this one.

I feel you there, I’m just about to finish Azure and then I have the entire Cold Steel arc to get through + Reverie 🫣
I just wrapped up Cold Steel 1 this evening ☺️

I doubt I’m on track to be caught up by the time of Daybreak’s release but given I only finally started the Kiseki series in earnest early last year (with Sky FC) I feel pretty good about my progress so far (especially since I’m not exactly great at finishing games 😅)

Yea that's great progress. I finished FC and took another year to beat the second one. Then I started Cold Steel and slowly made my way through those games. 3 and 4 I did back to back because I was so desperate to see what happened which I regret doing.

I’m taking a bit of a break right now after reaching the Reverie Corridor in the epilogue for 2, it seems like it’ll be a bit of a grind though I’m planning to tackle it this weekend

I have a week off work at Memorial Day and I might try to start up 3 at that point, gonna play some Hades II this next week as a palette cleanser

Is it more teenage drama full of pathos and harem, like Cold steel, or more believable people interaction, like Trails games before that ?

There's no teenage drama or any kind of harem. The main character is 24 years old and is focused on his job
Thank you. That's great to hear.

I just decided to finally play till the end Trails of Cold steel II (that I dropped twice before that) between Zero and Azure (without Epilogue not to spoil anything) and it was really painful. In the end I just skipped the dialogues completely.

It was so great going back to Azure from THAT.

Is this one of those series where it's simply not possible to enjoy if you jump in at say Trails of Cold Steel 3 & 4 (there's a double package available for ps5)?

I don't mind playing older games and I'm not a gfx whore but I'm wary of such a vast series of games spanning so much time and all the advice I can see online splits into either:
* just start with whatever in the cold steel series and if you get lost then you'll have to go back and play <specific game x> or
* you must start right at the beginning and play in order or you're literally evil incarnate
