With all the Trails games coming to Steam does that mean we might finally get the Crossbell duology localized?

I'm so lost in this series. Where do you even start?

Trails in the Sky FC -> Trails in the Sky SC -> Trails in the Sky The 3rd
Trails to Zero/Azure and Trails of Cold Steel both take place at the same exact time just in neighbouring countries, so you don't need to play one before the other, but they reference eachother a lot.

You can ignore everything before Trails in the Sky because those are completely different stories and settings.

You don't, it's a pretty generic series that's only become more generic over time. The fanbase mistakes the game having hundreds of flavor text for random npcs and taking forever for anything to happen as depth and the combat system is nothing special.

Overall not a single one of the games is satisfying because the devs expect you to buy the entire saga.

I hope so, but probably never ever.

OP, I thought you were implying that the release had been delayed, thus the "release date pending" picture and "was it inevitable?" comment.

To answer your question, I don't think it was inevitable. Some events could have turned out differently and led to no PC port:
NISA could have not offered a PC port of Ys VIII or not gotten the game at all, thus not putting pressure on XSEED.
Falcom could have put CSIII on the PS3 too so there would be no need to port them to PC so eventually all three Cold Steel games could be on a single platform.
CS could have sold so badly it wouldn't be worth commissioning a port.

It's true that there are always plot threads left unresolved to encourage you to play the next games in the series, but each sub-series (Sky, Zero-Ao, CS) do resolve their major plot points. To say there's no satisfaction in finishing the games is a lie.

>we kind of know what’s going on with the Vita right now. So now it turns into who can get those done and ported in time.
>some of our older titles have been coming to Steam, so perhaps in the future that might be one option for us to pursue.
This part sounds promising.

>That’s something that I really really want to do, and it’s something that I’ll have to work with our partners or find a partner to make it happen.
>work with our partners or find a partner
Is this implying Falcom is going to outsource it?

>One of Falcom’s biggest series, The Legend of Heroes, began in the late 90’s as the Dragon Slayer series

DRAGON SLAYER WAS THE MID-80S AND THE LEGEND OF HEROES WAS LATE-80s

Xseed probably. They need someone to publish it in the west.

It's a great game but I won't be rebuying it.

>>383481419

Wait, so if I want to play Cold Steel -a game I've heard is good and is now coming out to steam- I have to play three or four other, seperate games just to understand it?
