Welcome back to The Game Collection! I am SuperDerek and I’ve finally finished my journey through The Trails in the Sky Series. And what an absolute wild ride it has been. But now it’s time to talk about its 3rd and final entry. Be forewarned though that the footage I will show during this review may spoil some aspects of the game such as characters that join the party for a time. So if you just want to know if you should give it a go the answer is yes. Absolutely. Yes. And for everyone else, I am SuperDerek and this is Trails in the Sky the 3rd!
Trails in the Sky the 3rd is the aptly named third entry in the Kiseki series, but the English naming convention breaks stride with Trails in the Sky FC and SC because the game itself is also a bit of a departure from the first two entries. In a way you could think of this as an extended bonus epilogue to FC and SC, and yet at the same time, is a prelude of things to come.

SuperDerek News
• In SuperDerek News I have finished editing my review of Star Ocean The second story. Patrons currently have access to the video, and it is scheduled to go live on Friday!
• On Twitch last week I wrapped up my play-through of Shadows of Adam, so I’ll be starting work on that review very soon! And today I’ll be starting up my playthrough of Shadow Hearts: Covenant, in preparation for a Halloween episode of The Game Collection! Follow links in the description to hang out!
• Speaking of links in the video description, after Last week’s video came out, the Nintendo Switch Final Fantasy VII and VIII Combo Pack went up for pre-order on Play-Asia. This is again, a multi-language support version, so if you wanted a physical release of Final Fantasy VII and VIII on Switch, you can preorder that today using the links down below for $50. The games come on a single cartridge, and are expected to ship in December!
• Speaking of those affiliate links, last week the game that sold most by far was the preorder of that Final Fantasy dual pack, followed by the Dragon Quest trilogy, then Dragon Quest XI-S for Switch, and then Code Vein.
o Thank you for your continued support by following those links, and helping me see into what you guys are really most interested in!
Other News:
• Final Fantasy VII’s new box art has been teased
o This is a pretty pitch-perfect homage to the original US cover of Final Fantasy VII on PlayStation
o Notably, the cover doesn’t mention episode 1 or whatever, which I understand for a minimalist look.
In my Discord server, someone raised the question of whether this omission feels like false advertising?
Personally I see it as an homage, but I could see how it could be confusing to people who don’t follow the JRPG news as closely, but what are your thoughts?
