For those not aware, the Trails series (not to be confused with the Tales of... series) is a massive interconnected saga of 12 JRPG games (with a 13th one out early next year) dating back to 2004.
This game is a remake of the very first one from 2004, Trails in the Sky First Chapter, and is out today on Steam/PS5/Switch 1+2
Currently sitting at a 90 on Metacritic
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Reviews
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, a story-driven RPG that took off as the landmark first installment of the beloved Trails series, is receiving a full remake! The Liberl Kingdom, where the adventure takes place, is brought to life in stunning 3D, with refined designs for all characters...

This is probably my favourite game series of all time, and I'm very much looking forward to revisiting this shiny new version of the first game later on today.
I will point out (because the trailers are a bit ambiguous and I see the question asked a lot elsewhere online) that the Trails games all feature turn based combat.
This remake (and some of the more recent games) has a hybrid action/turn based combat system, but what this essentially means is that you can see enemies wandering around and you can give them a few whacks (and possibly kill them if they're much weaker than you) before you trigger the actual turn based battle mode. You can't play this game with solely action based combat if you hate the turn based style.
