>Made the game most revered for its short and brisk completion time double the length

Yeah this company has no idea how they made Sky all those years ago. They can't put out anything these days but bloated pieces of copy pasted shit.

Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel is the biggest example of this.

>Trails in the Sky
One love interest. Explored to its fullest, amazing moments laced throughout the series, generally referred to as one of the best romances in videogames. Any time they show up again in the series they are a cute couple.

>Trails of Cold Steel
18 love interests. Each love interest's romance is pushed behind several clunky ~5 minute 'bonding sessions' that only bloom into romance in the very last event. The romance has no effect or place in the main plot. The romance is reset between games and the returning character can never be confirmed to be in a relationship because it might violate what the player chose before.

If you're writing a harem over a single romance you're writing a worse story.
