The Legend of Heroes: Sen no Kiseki II: Kai: The Erebonian Civil War, the second game in the series, has been upgraded with all-new features!
The game also features the popular high-speed Skip Mode from the PlayStation®4 version. With the touch of a button, you can jump between events and fields at twice the normal speed, and battles at four times the normal speed!
The Nobel Alliance has raised up dominating the capital and intruded several locations including the Military Academy by taking advantage of the assassination of the "Blood and Iron Chancellor."
As a result a civil war finally broke out against the regular forces. On the other hand Rean who backed down from the front line due to the defeat against the "Azure Knight" has awakened at the mountain.
Overall, this is a highly positive work, though there is a clear opinion that it should essentially have been combined with its predecessor, along with criticism of repetitive content and narrative development in the mid-to-late game. It provides high satisfaction to Trails series fans and players of the previous game, but its entry barrier and long playtime can be burdensome for newcomers. · 82/100

Best for It is best suited to longtime fans who have cleared 《Trails of Cold Steel》 and feel strongly attached to the world and characters of the Trails series. It assumes a previous-game save and familiarity with the story context. Players who enjoy collecting characters, bonding events, turn-based combat, and repetitive progression systems are likely to find high satisfaction despite the flaws. Conversely, it is less recommended for newcomers seeking fast-paced storytelling, modern graphics, or a standalone introduction.
Strengths
It expands on the characters and Civil War storyline carried over from the previous game, enriching the world through the process of reuniting Class VII and the Crossbell side story.
More flexible movement and traveling between regions by airship provide more exploration options than in the previous game.
Many reviewers praise the satisfying feel of combat and progression through Tactical Links, enhanced character skills, Core Quartz development, and the Divine Knight system.
Weaknesses
There are repeated opinions that 《Trails of Cold Steel》 I and II should have been combined and condensed, along with criticism that excessive padding was used to increase the overall length.
Compared with the scale and tension of the Civil War, the actual events can seem childish and theatrical, while the motivations and threat posed by the Noble Alliance and some villains are considered weak.
Revisiting areas from the previous game and repeating similar shrines and battles greatly increases fatigue in the latter half.
