Rest in Peace you were one of the guys that helped me become a part of this community thank you

This video is the reason I was first got into Trails as a series. The playthroughs of 1st and 2nd chapter really helped me appreciate the worlds and details within the games. The work the whole Geofront team did for Zero and Azure was so inspiring to witness. Thank you Scott. RIP.

Ya as far as Developers go Falcom is the only company I'm confident to buy anything from. All of their games, and especially the Trails series, are well made worlds with great characters and stories (granted i think the Romance mechanic has hurt the Cold Steel games though and they should go back to canon romances since the romance with almost every female character limits romantic relationships for the other playable characters since all the females are basically being set up with Rean. At most if they continue with romance options i hope they limit it to 2 or 3 possible options instead and let relationships occur between other characters). YS is also an awesome series with YS8 being my second favorite game of last year behind Tokyo Xanadu, another Falcom game that uses YS style combat and a story set up similarily to the Cold Steel arc. I do hope that one day they'll localize the Crossbell arc, whether it's through creating a 3D remake or by localizing the psp/vita/pc version if they can settle the licensing issues. Hopefully by Xseed one day unless the Fan translators can get a game of similar quality (or at leas better than companies like Aksys who fucked Tokyo Xanadu's translation imo). Also hope Falcom keeps up their partnership with Xseed in the future and Xseed never lets their quality fall (since as far as translations go i feel Xseed's the best translators at the moment). Overall the Trails series is my 2nd favorite game system, 1 goes to Namco's Tales series but that's more due to the battle system (stories are decent but not as good as Falcom's)...Tokyo Xanadu could very well usurp #1 if they can get competent translators and still have the same high quality stories if it creates an ongoing franchise (since Trails is #1 with story so far but i prefer action combat systems, so Tokyo Xanadu can easily take over my favorite if they continue the series and make even stronger stories).

It's very rare to find RPGs with a real emphasis on : - The story and the world - The characters and the NPCs (they evolve with the lore) - The musics (they sound amazing) - The gameplay : a lot of QoL stuffs, there is no random encounter, fast travel, strategic battle system with turn control, ALL characters can use magic, mecha battle, battle bonus, etc.

@@Edagui97 the story and CG proformance in CS just make me feels embarrassed. why the hell Falcom put more and more and MORE gal like game play in to Trails series... it understandable for a business perspective, but as a fan from the original FCSC series will hate it. and why we need robot/Gundam in the game...completely destoried the universe of the stroy. also in CS1 last chapter, there is a continuously 3 time embarrassing "we are here for help, FORWARD!" moment, and the last boss was awaken by a stupid guy for stupid reasons (they clearly run out of reasonable reason to give you a boss fight). in CS2, the country under war, his sister was in danger, but our lovely main character is just running around for fun. I can go on and on and on, but I wont. All the good things from trails of the sky was almost gone. I like the Falcom that take their time write a good story, provide a rich, interesting world, and carefuly placed sub quest and story. Not the one that just want throw random things that popular in game industory together, then kick the product out of the door. CS1 and CS2 was actually one game, but they decide cut in half make two game. the result is CS1 is reasonable ok with a crap end, then CS2 with almost 0 useful story and tons of grabage daily quest and meaning less dialog. What? you ask CS3? lol, I give it 5/10, by the way at the end someone dead(lie) then after you beat the final boss screen just goes black, guess what? wait one more year for CS4 lol. By the way the CEO of Falcom said the future game will have normal ending and true ending, you have to do x, y, and z to know the whole story and real ending (He is really trying hard to make a gal, not a jrpg). From now on, it will be a different game. I'm done here, no more Trails.

Localization on Trails of Cold Steel 4 has yet been announced, but you can find fan translations if you really want to. The next game in the series, Hajimari no Kiseki, is set to release in Japan later in 2020. The game is split into three perspectives, one in Erebonia, one in Crossbell, and one following a certain group(the name’s kinda a spoiler). So no Calvard yet, but this is really exciting. Hope this helps out anyone.

An update to this post. So Trails of Cold Steel 4’s western release was announced on April 1st and is set to release this fall for PS4 and 2021 for PC and Switch.

This game series is so good. I really really want to play zero and azure, especially after that segment in cold steel 2.

Guess what? Scott and his team of fan translators have just released an English translation for Trails from Zero! You can now play it with high-quality English translations!

This is a great overview of the world of the Trails franchise but it feels more like a refresher for people that have already played the games instead of an introduction to the series. You go so deep into the lore of the Trails series right at the introduction and barely touch on the actual story, characters or gameplay of the series. If I had never played the series I would understand that Trails has a huge world and an ambitious scale but I wouldn't know exactly why I should get invested in the series in the first place. Anyway, don't mean to be too critical, it was a good video and I can tell you have a lot of passion for the series. As for your question at the end: I started the series with Trails in the Sky FC on the PSP in 2011 but my favorite entries might be Cold Steel I & II. I also really love Ys VIII and Nayuta no Kiseki is a lesser talked about Falcom title that I like a lot.

Nayuta has one of the best level design platforms in a action rpg.

Well he obviously isnt going to get too specific in a video meant to get people to try the games. What would be the point of them playing them if he got that specific?

He right though, If I was a newcomer, I would be lost rather quick and lose interest. This video is probbaly meant for fans and not new players. If you wanna get new people to play this game, you have to start with the characters!

Amazing video, as if I already wasn't way too excited for sen3 & 4.

When you realize that the trails/kiseki series is pretty much the Japanese DCAU or MCU.
