I'm only a video editor at The Geofront but it greatly warmed my heart to hear the shout out! This video is insanely well-made and I'm absolutely gonna share it with everyone I know who's interested in this release
Same here. I am the graphics editor and designer at the Geofront and i'm humbled by this amazing presentation. Amazing video editing skills, btw! Thank you very much.
It really is a great series and I don't think anyone would have any issue jumping right into playing from Zero and take it from there. What I would say however, is that if you're someone who isn't into in-depth story telling and world building, then this may not be the game for you as there is a lot of reading and lengthy text to get through. But It's well worth it if you're patient and attempt to read everything you can which can add valuable additional context behind characters and the general world of Trails. What I love about these games, especially the 2D aesthetic and battle system is that they feel like a spiritual successor to the forgotten Grandia series, which I absolutely adore. Don't get me wrong, I love the Cold Steel series, but the aesthetic doesn't quite capture it for me when they turned to 3D.
i feel like i comment this every video but it's worth repeating how fucking incredible your editing is. doesn't even matter if i know the game you're talking about or not, your polish, narration, flow- YOU are the reason i tune into every video. bravo man, this is such a clean 8 minutes of excellence
So, my story with Trails is really wonky. As someone who owns only a Switch and an HP laptop, I had no idea just what this series actually was when I came across it. Cold Steel 3 had a demo on the eShop that I played, enjoyed, and wanted more of. So like an absolute idiot I started with one of the (at the time) latest entries in a deeply interconnected, richly storied series with only minimal knowledge of what it was about. Surprisingly enough, I *loved* it. The combat was addictive, the soundtrack was awesome, and I found myself getting very invested in the lives of New Class VII. About halfway through I was hooked enough to finally make myself a Steam account, and download Trails in the Sky FC onto my laptop, since I could tell that the entire series was gold. I only played a few hours initially, and focused back on CS3, only focusing again on Sky FC after I had finished that. That’s why I’m glad that, even if you don’t personally recommend doing it, you admit that you can start with Zero. I may have played my first Trails game out of order, but my point is that I needed to have that good experience to become convinced to give the rest of the series a shot. Now I’m in the last chapter of Sky SC, have nearly every game in the series at the ready, and even plan on replaying CS3 when I catch back up!
This video was my introduction to you and with as good as this is you genuinely deserve about 100x your current sub count give or take. Excellent video all around! As a big fan of the series for a decade now I couldn't agree with every point you made more, and bonus points for the top-tier fandom jokes. 10/10 would Singa again
The quality of these videos always blows me away. I'd love for you to make reviews/retrospectives detailing your thoughts on the games in the trails series. I'd watch the hell out of them.
I envy you, I first started playing trails during the COVID lockdown when I had time on my hands for the first time in years, and I've been addicted ever since.
This story of a fan translation becoming official is insane, and something I want MANY MANY franchises to have. Ace Attorney investigations 2, all the 7 unlocalized fire emblem games of course, Mother 3 (of COURSE) and so much more even though they don't come to mind right now. Just the IDEA of a fan translation that's been available for years and the fanbase's accepted way of playing the game becoming the official version is a MUCH better scenario than if the company translates it themselves if you ask me. There wouldn't be comparisons between 2 translations, no character name changes, no dialogue changes, no split within the fandom, no confusion because two people played different versions, etc. I want this *ESPECIALLY* for Ace Attorney Investigations 2. The translators did a phenomenal job. It's so great that if it wasn't for the disclaimer saying it's a fan translation when you boot it, you could trick anyone into thinking this was released alongside all the DS games. A trope in all of the games is to have almost every character's name be a pun of some sort, and the translators managed to do it flawlessly, even managing to correctly translate puns that foreshadow the game's mysteries in SUCH clever ways. Right now those things are standard for anyone playing the game, but if there was a different translation, some players wouldn't get to experience this kind of super clever translating. The fan translators already perfectly emulated the quirky translations we get from capcom so we don't need another take on it, just like there aren't multiple translations of officially released games. The translation's all there, I just want them to USE it, I don't think anyone would call it lazy, we'd be grateful that it would be the game we know and love exactly as how we remember it. I'd just be awful to have "translation wars" inside a fanbase. So yes, I agree entirely with the message to buy this game just to support the idea of a fan translation becoming official to set an example for the rest of the industry. It allows the publisher to not spend as much time and money on translating, it makes the creators of the translation super proud, and pleases the fans. Everybody wins.
I’m someone who is incredibly familiar with this series (I’ve extensively played every entry up until Kuro) but I decided to give this video a watch anyways because of the cute thumbnail and wow. I’m someone who firmly believes in Sky FC as the optimal starting point but you make good points on both sides but the thing that impressed me most (as a newcomer to the channel) is the presentation on display here. Phenomenal stuff, like professional level quality. Keep up the good work!
@@Choops6969 Of course! Dropping the pretenses and revealing your true “trails elitist form” gave me a good laugh, more than anything on this platform has in a good while. We just want people to have the best possible experience with this amazing series, we’re not trying to hurt you!!!
I started with Zero and had a fantastic time. Slowly working my way through the Sky games and I love seeing the characters I recognized being all, "Hey, I know this person!" Your editing is fantastic. You earned a sub!
Funny coincidence, I had gone back to watch all your best videos this past week. I was reminded it had been a while since your last video (that wasn't a 2 minute guide) and BOOM you upload. Awesome.
Fantastic video! Hilarious, packed with information, professionally edited, all in a short and sweet package! Hit every aspect of this question (and yes, I ultimately agree that newcomers can start here).
I 1000% agree with all of this. Excellent video. No idea what the rest of the content on your channel is but you sir have earned a at least 1 new subscriber keep up the good work.
I am a sucker for a game translation success story. Those and cute animal videos warm my heart every time. Also, because nobody has mentioned it yet, wow, your editing quality is crazy.
Banger vid and stellar editing as always Choops! Would love to see you do something like this for Ys. It’s fun seeing you branch out and share your excitement for other jrpgs you enjoy.
♥👏👏♥ Love how this turned out! This video falls into what I've said about the Trails/Kiseki for a long time. It was great chatting with you on this and I think I've said it before, but I *adore* your video editing style and can't get enough of it, dude.
Great video. Think I’m ready to start the journey. It is a bit of a catch 22 that the best way to contribute to the Sky series ever getting a new console release is to buy Zero , which I shouldn’t play until said release. 😅
Choopi last year in his lord monarch video: These games are shitty, because I haven't played them. Yeah pandemic backlogging takes us to some weird places
Fantastic video dude, happy to see not only a return but also a video game recommendation. Sadly I will have to stay put on this until I get around to finishing a handful of other games and a potential house repair. I'd say you did a great job on not only selling the game but giving some context and additional information for those just dropping into the series. Excellent presentation and a few memes to boot. Keep kicking ass and I look forward to the next video. I hope you are well.
@@Choops6969 Always happy to visit the channel when I can. For now we're just waiting on an inspection to be arranged to get the door fixed and any additional repairs needed.
I started with Sky FC around when you uploaded that video, and I've been no-life-ing it since. I'm in the middle of CS1 now :) Thanks for bringing more attention to this series, I'm REALLY liking it!
This video is great! I had a lot of good laughs at the editing and the acting, but the video still gets it's point across. There's not much content like this on this platform.
I do not care about these games at all, I come only for the editing on these videos. Choopi kills them every time with love and care. Can’t wait for the new FE game to come out in January to get some deep dives from Choopi!
I don't usually comment on youtube videos but if I can bump up this video in the algorithm I will, because holy heck this guy really deserves more attention. Jesus the editing alone is beyond insane, I hope much more success comes your way!!
Always love your videos and streams choopmiester. Been watching you since fire emblem helped me find your channel. I don't comment much but just wanted to say it's always a fun time.
I've never played any Falcom game but I watched someone play through the entire Sky series (shoutsout to BigKlingy!). I feel like this game would be a perfect starting point for me in the series to actually play, knowing the story and gameplay of Sky but starting with a brand new arc. Honestly though the real reason I love that you made this video is you mentioned the game is coming out soon. That and your argument about the video game industry thing is gonna make me buy this game. Thanks Choopi!
He's right about making the commitment and not regretting it after, I started with Trails in the Sky FC back in March, and have been slowly making my way through the games this year. I just beat Zero a few days ago and am now starting Azure. Who knew a very specific purple specimen would make me tear up.
If you're almost done with Sky the 3rd, make sure you go through Star Door 15, it's pretty much the prologue to Trails from Zero. Star Door 15 is the first hint of Zero's villain, and what's going on in Crossbell. The door is not for the faint of heart, be warned.
@@BlackyRay_Patrick Star Door 15 (the prologue to Zero) is the one at the bottom of the Abyss in Gehenna (the 7th plane), and it only requires Renne to unlock, but you do have to fight through nearly 20 levels of the Abyss filled with strong fiends and three powerful demons just to get there. Star Door 14, which is an extremely important epilogue to Sky SC, and shows Campanella actually delivering the Shinning Ring to the Grandmaster is extremely grindy: you have to clear every other one of the 24 (including Star Door 15) doors in the game before it will open. However, Star Door 14 is also extremely important because its the first true indication we have of what the Grandmaster's goal is. She isn't Thanos, and she's not in this to collect all 7 sept-terrions, she's rather explicit: she wanted the shinning ring because it means the first pact no longer applies. Supposedly, that is the same pact Ragnard made with Aidios, but the mystery is why the Grandmater went through all that trouble to dissolve the pact. I do agree with you, these are both a ton of work to unlock, watch it on youtube is probably a better bet.
My wife is halfway through SC, and wants to watch me playthrough zero. Im still really unsure if that's a good idea or not. She did watch me play through all of cold steel already, so I think the damage is already done.
finish SC first. trails the 3rd is one of my absolute favorites, but you can honestly skip it if you want to jump right into crossbell. Third fleshes out many character's backstory but none of the characters except Kevin and Reise go through any meaningful plot development in that game that's needed to know in order to get the "full" context of zero.
when it comes to starting the trails series you can really start with any of the First entries. so trails of cold steel trails in the sky and trails from zero. however if your going to play the cold steel games first i would personally recommend playing the first two and save 3 and 4 for later. Don’t skip sky third chapter i heard some people have been doing that. it’s not as important as the others but if you want additional background on the Characters as well as a understanding of kevin’s backstory then don’t skip it. Overall this is what i would recommend. Sky fc -> Sky sc -> sky tc and zero ( whatever order you want ) -> azure -> all the Coldsteel games -> Reverie Can’t speak on kuro because i haven’t played it yet.
@@Choops6969 I have now finished the sky trilogy and purchased trails from zero on my switch. I have saved the video game industry and am about to enjoy the best jrpg ever. Thank you for introducing this series to me.
This was well done! Subscribed! I've only done cold steel 1. Before I realized the size and breadth of the legend of heroes saga. My computer got lost in flooding, along with almost everything. Buuuuut I've been itching to chill out on the switch as in hand held, so I can spend a bit more time with my family. So, while not ideal, as if like to start with Sky....I'm going to jump into this one next. It's mainly just timing and feeling like a switch romp. Great video man!
@@michaeloconnor1281 Hey if you really want to play sky trilogy, there's a way for the first 2. You can emulate them on PSP emulator. Even a low end android from a few years ago should play that game just fine.
I just finished Cold Steel IV and I think Trails from Zero is my favourite Trails game, I started with Sky FC and I definitely agree with you. If you really cannot get yourself to play Sky and a more modern game gets you into the series, then go for it. But please try the Sky series first, it is amazing and Zero is amazing because of the build-up!! This game is the best piece of media I have ever experienced in my entire life and the series is too.
Singa slander ASIDE, great video. Technical stuff aside (it's amazing as always) it was pretty fun to watch. I do think starting with the first game of any arc is ok but the best way is always starting with sky fc.
I don’t own a pc or a psp. So starting with Trails From Zero seems fitting. From that to Trails To Azure, then the Cold Steel series, then finally Trails Into Reverie will do just fine n dandy.
Hi choops im long viewer of your channel and i just wanna say that you are really epic. I sometimes whats up gamers we are back in the clack. So yeah you are a meme inspiration to me Thanks gamers
me, who started trails series with cold steel in psvita last year : ......ok.. (im on the third game now) really like the characters and the plot intertwined and related to one and another XD
So play skies then zero, where does cold steel fit in, and are they worth it to play as well; kinda want to play this series. And how would be able to play all of them on the fewest amount of consoles as well most modern ones.
As someone who did start with trails from zero (pretty much solely for the fact that it was the only one available on switch because why would you not put a 50+hr long jrpg on a portable console for those long train journeys) i agree with all of this. I do want to make my way through the sky series at some point if only for some context on certain characters. Might just stick it on easy mode so i can blast through them. Yes i know there will be some story beats that wont as hit hard for me since ive by now played zero,azure and cold steel 1-3 but hey i like this series

Everyone knows that starting from Cold steel 4 and making your way back is the actual best way to experience the series.
hahahaha
Why playing the other Games eitherway. Reans the best Protag.... :P :D
Please tell me you're joking

If you're almost done with Sky the 3rd, make sure you go through Star Door 15, it's pretty much the prologue to Trails from Zero. Star Door 15 is the first hint of Zero's villain, and what's going on in Crossbell. The door is not for the faint of heart, be warned.
@@SuperSupersoda So I've heard. Thanks for the tip!
@@SuperSupersoda and if you arent able to open the door (takes a lot of grind if I remember right) watch the video at least.
@@BlackyRay_Patrick Star Door 15 (the prologue to Zero) is the one at the bottom of the Abyss in Gehenna (the 7th plane), and it only requires Renne to unlock, but you do have to fight through nearly 20 levels of the Abyss filled with strong fiends and three powerful demons just to get there. Star Door 14, which is an extremely important epilogue to Sky SC, and shows Campanella actually delivering the Shinning Ring to the Grandmaster is extremely grindy: you have to clear every other one of the 24 (including Star Door 15) doors in the game before it will open.
However, Star Door 14 is also extremely important because its the first true indication we have of what the Grandmaster's goal is. She isn't Thanos, and she's not in this to collect all 7 sept-terrions, she's rather explicit: she wanted the shinning ring because it means the first pact no longer applies. Supposedly, that is the same pact Ragnard made with Aidios, but the mystery is why the Grandmater went through all that trouble to dissolve the pact.
I do agree with you, these are both a ton of work to unlock, watch it on youtube is probably a better bet.
@@SuperSupersoda ah ok than it was staar door 14 i wasnt able to unlock.
I just wish that the Trails in the Sky games were avaliable on more platforms, I like the PC but prefer to play on consoles
same. same. i switched to evo versions after FC.
My wife is halfway through SC, and wants to watch me playthrough zero. Im still really unsure if that's a good idea or not. She did watch me play through all of cold steel already, so I think the damage is already done.
finish SC first. trails the 3rd is one of my absolute favorites, but you can honestly skip it if you want to jump right into crossbell. Third fleshes out many character's backstory but none of the characters except Kevin and Reise go through any meaningful plot development in that game that's needed to know in order to get the "full" context of zero.
@@Choops6969 she will see this comment when she scrolls down 🤣
@@redwrath5 cmon man don’t out me to choops! 😂😭
@@redwrath5 if you are a nice guy you gonna wait for her to finish SC first.
@@BlackyRay_Patrick well you know what they say about nice guys.......
Definitely interested to try if I had an ounce of free time
So I just found ur channel trying to get into trails and wow ur videos are so well done glad I found this channel
when it comes to starting the trails series you can really start with any of the First entries. so trails of cold steel trails in the sky and trails from zero. however if your going to play the cold steel games first i would personally recommend playing the first two and save 3 and 4 for later. Don’t skip sky third chapter i heard some people have been doing that. it’s not as important as the others but if you want additional background on the Characters as well as a understanding of kevin’s backstory then don’t skip it. Overall this is what i would recommend.
Sky fc -> Sky sc -> sky tc and zero ( whatever order you want ) -> azure -> all the Coldsteel games -> Reverie
Can’t speak on kuro because i haven’t played it yet.
I dont know anything about the trails series but I will now be checking them out. Thank you for the vid choopi, I'll follow through.
good luck!
@@Choops6969 I have now finished the sky trilogy and purchased trails from zero on my switch. I have saved the video game industry and am about to enjoy the best jrpg ever. Thank you for introducing this series to me.
Well shit that was worth every minute and every penny
This was well done! Subscribed! I've only done cold steel 1. Before I realized the size and breadth of the legend of heroes saga. My computer got lost in flooding, along with almost everything.
Buuuuut I've been itching to chill out on the switch as in hand held, so I can spend a bit more time with my family. So, while not ideal, as if like to start with Sky....I'm going to jump into this one next. It's mainly just timing and feeling like a switch romp.
Great video man!
Won't let me edit my comment. I meant I'D like to start with Sky. But circumstances dictate otherwise for now.
@@michaeloconnor1281 Hugs dude, that is rough.
@@michaeloconnor1281 Hey if you really want to play sky trilogy, there's a way for the first 2. You can emulate them on PSP emulator. Even a low end android from a few years ago should play that game just fine.
Another awesome video with amazing editing. Also, everyone should start with Sky FC, it is very much worth it. I'm not an elitist I'm a realist.
Playing Sky SC (blind) on hard difficulty was powerful, and seeing aspects of it and Sky 3rd paid off in Zero and Ao literally made me cry at times.
I just finished Cold Steel IV and I think Trails from Zero is my favourite Trails game, I started with Sky FC and I definitely agree with you. If you really cannot get yourself to play Sky and a more modern game gets you into the series, then go for it. But please try the Sky series first, it is amazing and Zero is amazing because of the build-up!! This game is the best piece of media I have ever experienced in my entire life and the series is too.
Singa slander ASIDE, great video. Technical stuff aside (it's amazing as always) it was pretty fun to watch. I do think starting with the first game of any arc is ok but the best way is always starting with sky fc.
The Singa joke got me. Well played
ty I try.
I don’t own a pc or a psp. So starting with Trails From Zero seems fitting. From that to Trails To Azure, then the Cold Steel series, then finally Trails Into Reverie will do just fine n dandy.
I can’t imagine how much editing and thought it takes to produce your level of videos!
some pc engine cd love right there. kickass dawn of ys shirt (better than memories of celceta btw) choops
Hi choops im long viewer of your channel and i just wanna say that you are really epic. I sometimes whats up gamers we are back in the clack.
So yeah you are a meme inspiration to me
Thanks gamers
me, who started trails series with cold steel in psvita last year :
......ok..
(im on the third game now)
really like the characters and the plot intertwined and related to one and another XD
its really cool and unlike anything else I've ever experiencedyeah. and i feel they do it in a very sincere way- if that makes sense.
Aww shit he's back in the clack!
yes yes I am.
I came here to see if I can start with this game but also whoever edited this video is top tier 👨🏻🍳🤌🏻💕
thank you!
Respectfully this was a really Well made video
holy shit the presentation of this video is absolutely mind-blowing! instant sub for your channel
greetings and welcome. welcome to choopi's house.
So play skies then zero, where does cold steel fit in, and are they worth it to play as well; kinda want to play this series. And how would be able to play all of them on the fewest amount of consoles as well most modern ones.
play on PC as the sky trilogy are only available in English on PC. cold steel takes place (mostly) after the two crossbell games (zero and azure).
@@Choops6969 thanks Choopie!!!!
As someone who did start with trails from zero (pretty much solely for the fact that it was the only one available on switch because why would you not put a 50+hr long jrpg on a portable console for those long train journeys) i agree with all of this. I do want to make my way through the sky series at some point if only for some context on certain characters. Might just stick it on easy mode so i can blast through them. Yes i know there will be some story beats that wont as hit hard for me since ive by now played zero,azure and cold steel 1-3 but hey i like this series
As a skoomer I always say start with sky, not because its the first, but because its the best
Trails in the Sky the 3rd changed me
Erebonia arc is the best plot
