About this game
The Special Support Section returns after Trails from Zero, taking on new duties as political pressure builds around Crossbell. This RPG brings that city's story arc to its conclusion. In battle, follow the displayed action order to choose your party's next move. Bonuses attached to particular turns can benefit allies or enemies, so their position in the timeline matters. Importing usable Trails from Zero save data also adds scenes to the continuing story.
Collected in series
Trails follows connected groups of adventurers across Zemuria, where small local jobs gradually reveal larger political conflicts. Conversations and returning characters reward attention, while party battles revolve around turn order, Crafts and magical Arts, with later games also offering field action.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A continuation for readers invested in Crossbell, with battles that reward attention to turn order.
The returning team and concluding arc give existing story investment a clear destination. In combat, bonuses available to both sides make the action timeline a useful focus for tactical readers. This structure is likely to suit players who enjoy narrative continuity alongside deliberate party decisions.
Strengths
- Shared turn bonuses can make watching the enemy's place in the timeline as relevant as choosing an ally's action.
- The Crossbell arc's conclusion gives returning readers a defined narrative goal.
Weaknesses
- Its continuation of Trails from Zero may be less inviting to players seeking a self-contained story.
Who it is for: Players interested in continuing Crossbell's story and making party decisions around visible turn order.
Play notes: Additional imported-save scenes depend on usable Trails from Zero save data.
