The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails free

As is standard for games in the Trails series, NPCs have an impressive amount of dialogue that changes frequently to reflect current events. Where The Legend of Nayuta‘s writing shines is in its characters, particularly the people of Remnant Isle. There are twists and turns, but overall, the story is straightforward JRPG fare. The Garden of Stars is your central hub on Terra. Of course, studying a place he believes to be the mythical Lost Heaven, a place his parents researched before their untimely deaths, is appealing in its own right. Nayuta, always down to help people, is happy to assist the fairy, Noi, to save an entirely new world. Terra’s four continents are trapped in unnatural seasons that run havoc on flora and fauna. Terra is going through the most extreme bout of climate change possible, induced by the theft of four master gears used to control its climate by the sinister pair, Zechst and Selam. Their simple ambitions to help out the island folk quickly lead to exploring ancient ruins from the sky, saving the life of a human-hating fairy, and being transported to said fairy’s world, Terra. You know, the kind of handymen who do everything from playing with local children to defeating ravenous monsters. Nayuta and his best friend Cygna ran a “Handyman” business before they left their island, and they decide to start it back up during their break. Nayuta is a young scholar returning to his home, Remnant Isle, for summer vacation. The game has no direct connections to The Legend of Heroes and is a standalone story, so action RPG lovers are free (and encouraged) to jump in here. First released for the PlayStation Portable in 2012, this new release is the first time The Legend of Nayuta has been officially available outside Japan.

The Legend of Nayuta is an action RPG spin-off of Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes series, which includes the spectacular Trails in the Sky trilogy. “Thus began our long summer break…” - these are the words that capstone The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails’ prologue and appropriately set expectations for the kind of game it is.
