Seeing these stories come together, as well as many characters across the series meeting and interacting for the first time, despite knowing them from afar, is the charm of what Reverie offers, even if I feel it's the weakest of the Trails game from a story perspective. Each of these characters presses forward with plots unique to them, unknownst that they are very much connected. Trails into Reverie's plot is told through the perspective of three individual protagonists Trails of Cold Steel's Rean Schwarzer, the Crossbell Saga's Lloyd Bannings, and the mysterious C, a man who takes the name and attire of a villain Trails fans are all too familiar with. While Trails into Reverie may at times feel like nothing more than excessive fan service or retreading of previous ideas, its emotional core continues to bring the same undeniable charm along with it. I'm going to be pretty light on much of the story simply due to many events here feeling like solid impactful moments for not just the characters themselves, but for the player as well. Reverie’s plot does feature several characters who are part of Crossbell’s past, largely in the same roles, albeit with entirely new context and mystery. In a lot of ways, Trails into Reverie feels like the third game in the Crossbell saga, simply due to the majority of the plot being built around Crossbell's continued desire for independence, a topic that was the central pillar of Zero and Azure's narrative, and also factored into moments of Trails of Cold Steel.
