Trails FC was a fun game. I'm working my way through Second Chapter now. The PC release came out 2004 in Japan and 2014 in the US so idk how "retro" it is. Also the original PC release was already in 3D, so I'm not sure why the author is stressing that the remake is in 3D. Am I missing something?
As an aside, does this author always write random words in bold in all their articles ? π€£
The characters were just 2D sprites from what I recall. And the isometric camera kind of gave it a 2D feel even if it wasn't actually 2D.
Anyway, hopefully this isn't a Switch exclusive as that would be lame.
They were that style of sprite derived from prerendered 3D art that was popular in the late 90's/early 2000's.
It's unfortunately looking like ports of this game are going to come later.
Ah so maybe I'm just reading the article too closely, as it says full 3D for the game's fields and towns, and doesn't mention the character models.
There is a video
Thanks! I had to open in new browser to get it to load. Wow!
3D characters and a free behind the shoulder camera. The game looks great!
