Approachable entry point 🤝 Accessible design

Sky FC nails so much accessibility that it’s important for me to spotlight it!!

Please take a look & share your thoughts on what this remake has to offer for accessibility & QoL 👀

Calling all Trails fans, newcomers, & the JRPG-curious!

In our latest review, we're asking if #TrailsInTheSkyFC is the most accessible JRPG of 2025

TLDR: Yes. BUT! Why and how can other games learn from its example?

I’ve admittedly never played the games (or watched any modern material) but this series is a core childhood memory for me so someday I should really get back to it 👀

1 - so glad you came back to tell me about how it’s going!

2 - starting with a manga where you’ve seen the anime is a great hep for learning how to follow the fight scenes as a new reader

Really hope you continue to enjoy, over 40 more volumes & counting but we’re nearing the end 🥹

Personally so incredibly glad I can call you a friend here & bonus I get to benefit from you amazing art

Something I’ll add: growth isn’t linear, whether in our art or our personal lives. But we only learn more by trying and the only real way to fail is to stop trying at all. SO proud of you 💙

No pressure ofc, just do what excites you to create 🤣 but this design is so sharp and the color pallet immediately struck me

This is a random WIP of a random dragon I was working on a little while back. I'm not sure if I'll finish it.
Should I finish it?
I was trying to do something different with the scales but I don't know if I like it 😆

It’s rare that a show comes out of nowhere and smacks me in the face like this. It was phenomenal 👏

Tight storytelling with some incredibly efficient character development, and one of the most clear examples of art and animation intersecting with the narrative conceit 🙌🙏🙌

Random take

Best footstep sound in gaming 👏

I will be taking no further questions at this time 😌

I just made the analogy that Bones did Bakugo like Toei does Zoro in current One Piece

It was GORGEOUS and with LOVE 🥹

This game seems absolutely wonderful. One of those gems that may not be 100% for everyone, but if more people saw it & tried it they might find something unlike anything else they’ve ever played 💙

Not sure if this is planned for PS5/Switch, but I hope so personally

Keeper Review:

+ A visual masterpiece ( Felt like a Disney ride)
+ Compelling story with no voice acting
+ Simple puzzles that are easy for anyone to beat
+ Wonderful OST to listen to
+/- Depending on how fast the player experience things in the game will effect their overall enjoyment

10/10

Yeah I felt the exact same. I can’t even remember the last time I turned down the difficulty I played the whole rest of the game on. I think there’s an imbalance in his fight with the number of unblockables and the scale of his damage output. It doesn’t compare to anything else in the entire game 🧐

At the very least, on a mug for when I sip tea 🤣
