28Trails in the Sky Combat Finally Clicks! Hell Gate is OP! | Beating Sky Pirates & Ranking Up (FC)
Livestream schedule: https://www.levelupbrandon.com/
Trails in the Sky. Combat. Sky Pirates. Today we dove into The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC on Steam and actually made the combat system behave (mostly). We stunned for party advantage, juggled turn bonuses, tested Hellgate, learned why Earth Guard is cracked, and took down the Sky Pirates (hi, Josette 👋 )… only for an airship to swoop in and yoink the win screen. We reclaimed the Septium Crystal, ranked up at the Bracer Guild, and got our first regional recommendation—then the plot punched us: the airliner went missing with Cassius aboard. Next stop: Bose, on foot, with Scherazard leading the way.
If you love Trails in the Sky deep-dive combat, character banter, and classic Falcom storytelling, you’re home. Like/sub if you want more JRPG chaos and accidental genius.
