Trails of Cold Steel is available through PS Now. Both Cold Steel games will be coming to PC as well - the first in the summer, and the second at some later unannounced date.

Ah, is this a series where playing them in order actually matters, or is it FF style?

I've always been interested, but just don't have the means to play them.

I don't have a PC anymore and don't have a real desire to get one. PSNow I never even considered though! I've never used it, is it rental only?

Nope. PC broke a few months ago. I don't really play PC games, and there's. Nothing else my PC was good for that my phone can't do, so....

Each subset of games consists of an entire arc for characters and specific regions. You could start at Trails in the Sky FC, or Trails of Cold Steel 1, but you wouldn't want to start at part 3 of an arc.

The different series are fairly separate, they take place in the same world and there are some references to the other games, but you could play say, Cold Steel without playing Sky.

But the games within the series should be played in order.

....oh, I didn't even realize this wasn't just a linear series of games. There are multiple subseries?

You have to admit that these names are pretty confusing to the casual viewer looking in from the outside.

No idea! I assume so. I didn't know you could buy games through PSNow, anyway.

The first two Cold Steel games are also available on PS3, if you're interested. Cold Steel 1 is on sale right now.

There's basically just Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel. There are a few more that we haven't gotten in English, but those are the main two.

the first 5 Legend of Heroes series don't matter and they weren't as good of games. Trails in the Sky is when it really started to take off


Legend of Heroes 6
- Trails in the Sky FC
- Trials in the Sky SC
- Triails in the Sky The 3rd

Legend of Heroes 7
- Trails of Zero (not available in english)
- Trails of Azure (not available in english)

Legend of Heroes 8
- Trials of Cold Steel
- Trails of Cold Steel II
- Trails of Cold Steel III (currently in development for PS4)

all the games take place in neighboring countries over the span of 2 or 3 years so it's basically just one big story with casts switching every new number

Ok I though there were like 4 games total, color me shocked. The idea that there's been 8 while story arcs and the first 5 aren't even counted is insane enough.

Looks like it's 6 games including the one not out yet then? Guess I'll investigate some methods. How long are these?

They're counted, they're just fucking ancient (Dragon Slayer Duology) and translated by morons (Gagharv)

Trails in the Sky FC and SC were originally one game.

They eventually realized that wasn't going to work and split it in two.

And then when they finally finished SC, it ended up needing 2 UMDs to fit.

XSEED doesn't really have input on that. It's more or less on convincing Falcom that it's worth it.

Just did a check on what I currently still own that isn't digital, not including my roommates stuff:

PS4
Persona 5
Orphen: Scion of Sorcery (sentimental value)
Suikoden III (sentimental value)
Tales of Symphonia Chroniicles....why do I still have this, I should sell this....

It gets more insane, as all of the Legend of Heroes series is actually a subseries of a greater franchise called Dragon Slayer, which has about ten different subseries now, and many of those have about ten or more games each. Very very few of them have ever come out in English though, Legacy of the Wizard and Faxanadu probably being the best known among them

None of them are 2d sprite games. All of them have 3D models for the characters.

They just weren't full 3D until Cold Steel.

No you can't.


I was under the impression that Zero and Azure were far more important to Cold Steel than Sky?
