“This game + ENG patch = no waiting 2023”
“It's not the best port, and it's very rough around the edges, but I'm just glad we finally have someone bringing these games to PC in a timely manner. In just a year, CLE translated this game into 2 different languages…”
“Don't waste your time with NISA, go to 4Chan, Video Games Generals, search for Falcom and use the english patch. Great game.”

“This is now my favourite game in the series. Such a satisfying conclusion to the hundreds of hours of storytelling, whilst simultaneously telling a touching individual story that sets up the future. Thank you Falcom,…”
“For those who cant wait for 2023 (like me) get this game with an intergrated eng patch. Hajimari No Kiseki (Trails into Reverie). ties up loose end from Both Rean's and Lloyd's arcs respectfully. Enjoyed ever moment of…”
“As of now, Hajimari/Reverie has become my favorite game in the series. As much as I liked the characters and story in the Cold Steel arc, I did find some of the writing and a certain plot element in CSIV to be…”

“Time to liberate Crossbell Game is well optimized (utilizes all 10 cores of my CPU). There's option to lock FPS into 60 or 30 for those with older machines. No ultra wide support, unfortunately and so far it's the only…”
“I haven't finished the game yet, but it runs fine at 60fps 1080p well with my current setup (will say that below if people wanna compare for themselves). EDIT: Have since finished the game. In some cutscenes where…”
“FIRST IMPRESSIONS This is a pretty barebones PC port compared to Durante's ports, but it works well enough It is a little blurry which is odd but that's a pretty minor complaint. Otherwise the game works as intended and…”

“One of my favorite game in the series now. Great pacing and the gameplay is the best in Kiseki so far. I am kneeling to C. My MC(Kevin still my top 1 though)”
“Hajimari is very story focus rather than having a tons of side quests like every other kisekis. Its sort of like an OVA for an anime but at the same time, whatever happened in the story is also very important and you…”
“Yesterday i finally got all achievements on this game so it's about right to give my opinion of this game. Let's go with the negative things and then the positive ones. First of all, since it's a "sequel" to the cold…”

“Bought the game on release because of how much I've enjoyed the trails series so far, and since I could understand Chinese and didn't want to wait 2 long years for the English localization. However this port is pretty…”
“The nerve of the publisher to sell this game at a cost of a AAA game, no regional pricing or whatsoever. And if your microwave is broken, just play this game. It's a perfect alternative to microwave. In fact, I highly…”
