Second Chapter makes a big deal out of creating a large, overarching world with a rich political history. Three top investment pros open up about what it takes to get your video game funded. This world reminded me why I loved inhabiting these fanciful realms. These characters fleshed out their world and made it seem much larger than the areas I visited.

In my 78 hours with the game, I saw of lot of fun, intimate moments propped up by a great main cast and even better supporting one. Second Chapter, available now on PSP (reviewed), Vita (thanks to backward compatibility), and PC, features an enormous world filled with dozens of characters to talk to and all sorts of parts unknown to uncover. And with the coming deluge of JRPGs, it seemed fitting we’d get a game to remind us why the genre’s so great. Though released in Japan back in 2006, an English translation of the game has taken years to complete, due to various obstacles and restructuring the translation team faced (you can read more on that story here). The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter has been a long time coming. Join gaming leaders online at GamesBeat Summit Next this upcoming November 9-10.
