Overall the combat is great, after so many hours, I did not found it tiresome, and the mix of characters in each chapter (not having a static group) made things always feel fresh.

Trails in the Sky make look dated, but its art style has aged fairly well, and the combat is still fun and can be challenging today.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

Normal difficulty strikes a good balance and never becomes dull, which I can’t say for many modern JRPGs, so that's a plus.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the music is generally great, there an extreme lack of variety in the soundtrack.
