I recently got into the Trails series and have filled in almost all of the gaps now on the last couple of console generations. This title is better than part 1 is almost every way. If you like the Trails games definitely check this out.
The sun is setting upon the land of Valisthea. For centuries, people have flocked to her Mothercrystals to partake of their blessing~the abundant aether that fuels the magicks they rely upon in their everyday lives. But as the aether begins to fade and the lifeless deadlands spread ever further, so too does the struggle over the final flickers of the Mothers' light grow ever more fierce. Bloody battle rages across the realm, rival nations sending their ultimate weapons against each other: the Dominants. Men and women within whom sleep the world-shattering power of an Eikon. There are few in Valisthea whose lives have not been touched by this war for the crystals' blessing, and Clive Rosfield, firstborn son of the Archduke of Rosaria, is no exception. Unlike most, however, the vicissitudes of fate are to reveal to him the dark truth that lies at the heart of his world, and lead him on a mission to destroy those selfsame Mothercrystals the rest of the realm hold sacred.

So I am not a huge fan of the modern Action RPG direction for Final Fantasy and this game at times is very on-rails but the story, visuals and music are very good. I don't love this title but it is certainly fun and worth the cost at this point.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes brings together Yoshitaka Murayama, Junko Kawano, Osamu Komuta, and Junichi Murakami~the key creators of the Suikoden series and other renowned games~to craft the kind of rich adventure that only JRPGs provide.
