<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSome might prefer the raw look of the PS4 version, but having spent more than 55 hours across all three versions over the last few weeks, I cannot recommend the PS4 version to anyone if they have the option to play on PC or Switch. In addition to the differences detailed on the Steam blog post linked above, I\u2019m disappointed in how so much of the interface on PS4 is still low resolution compared to even the Switch version in handheld mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trails to Azure PS4 vs Switch vs PC \u2013 what to buy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n In this specific situation, like with Trails from Zero, I cannot recommend the PS4 version to anyone who has access to a PC and\/or Switch. For the last few Falcom games from NIS America, the PS4 version was always an easy recommendation over Switch on the console side, especially for games like Ys IX and Ys VIII to those who wanted the best console version. Despite enjoying my time with Trails of Cold Steel III and IV on Switch, the PS4 versions offered much better experiences for those releases. In this case, on the console side, the Switch version is massively better than PS4 thanks to the new features and visual improvements. It almost feels like playing a enhanced remaster of a PS4 game rather than one that has released at the same time with this Switch release just like with Zero. The only advantage the PS4 version has is trophy support which matters to some people so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe bigger question for those who own multiple platforms is whether to buy Trails to Azure on Switch or PC. If you care about portability, the Switch version is an excellent way to experience Trails to Azure, and it exceeded my expectations even from PH3 when it comes to features and performance. If you have a Steam Deck and a Switch, the PC version on Steam Deck will offer the best possible experience on paper, but the battery life and OLED display may push things onto the Switch side for you especially with Zero’s PC features added to Switch from the start in Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an ideal world, you\u2019d be able to sync your save from PC to Switch through Steam account like you can in other games, but right now that isn\u2019t possible. I have no qualms about recommending either the PC or Switch version of Trails to Azrue to anyone looking for a fantastic experience and to be able to finally conclude Falcom\u2019s Crossbell duology. This situation could\u2019ve been avoided if NIS America released the PS4 version before instead of delaying it to launch on all three platforms simultaneously. The end result is Falcom fans in the West get a lesser version of the game on PS4 despite this version being the source for the PC and Switch versions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nHopefully my Trails to Azure PS4 vs Nintendo Switch vs PC feature helped you decide where to buy the newest localized Falcom game. When Trails into Reverie launches later this year<\/a>, I’m curious to see how the platform differences end up being. We do know that PH3 is handling the PC port of Trails into Reverie<\/a> which likely means it will be the best version. As of now there is no clarity on who is doing the Switch version and how much better the PS5 version will be compared to the PS4 Falcom release. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure releases on March 14 in North America, March 17 in Europe, and March 24 in Australia and New Zealand for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
