Trails from Zero is one of my most-anticipated games of the year, so I was excited to see NISA teasing news for today.

That news turned out to be the reveal of the Limited Edition.

The Trails from Zero Limited Edition is available to pre-order from NISA’s store, and it contains an artbook, 10-track soundtrack selection, a poster, and an acrylic stand, along with the steelbook and collector’s box (and the game, of course).

That sounds pretty good to me for a Limited Edition, so I might go for it. There’s also a plushie and puzzle available to order, too.

I was hoping for a release date so I’ll know how long I have to catch up by finish the Trails in the Sky games, but “Fall 2022” is still all we have. I’d better not wait too long, or I’ll run out of time…

What do you think of the Trails from Zero Limited Edition? When do you think we’ll get a release date?

More Hints of the Crossbell Games Being Localized

Still hoping the Crossbell arc of the Trails series will be officially translated? Don’t give up hope yet!

We first talked about the Crossbell games, Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki, in 2017 when Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo spoke about how much he wanted them to be localized.

It came up again earlier this year, when the Trails of Cold Steel III localization announcement came accompanied by a report that NISA was discussing the Crossbell situation with Falcom.

If both the developer and potential publisher wanted to localize them, that seemed like a good sign.

Still, there was no definite evidence of localization, and many people felt it would come to nothing. However, now we have reason to be hopeful again! In an interview with Noisy Pixel, Kondo once again spoke about the Crossbell games and how he’d like more people to play them, this time saying Falcom hopes to bring them to newer consoles.

More significantly, he said, “And once we do, I’m confident that NISA will translate them for you and release them in the west.”

That’s a much more clear-cut statement.

It still isn’t confirmation of anything, but now the if is whether or not Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki will be brought to newer consoles or not. Then NISA would still have to make the decision to localize them, but if Kondo is confident they will, those discussions must have gone well.

What do you think? Is there hope for the Crossbell arc to come west?

Trails of Cold Steel III Localization Confirmed for Fall

The western release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III has been confirmed for fall 2019.

It’s being handled by NIS America, which fans didn’t react well to (partly because of all the issues with Ys VIII’s localization).

However, according to RPG Site, NIS America has brought in people who worked on the previous Trails localizations to handle this, which is good news.

There are also reports that NIS America is in discussions with Falcom about the Crossbell arc (the two games between Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel).

Now, I haven’t actually watched the Trails of Cold Steel III trailer yet because I’m not sure if it will spoil anything for the previous games. I understand discussions of Trails of Cold Steel IV are a spoiler minefield.

Here is the trailer, though, for those of you who want to watch.

New information should be coming soon as well. So far, Trails of Cold Steel III has only been announced for the PS4.

Speaking of Trails, we’re coming up on a year since I finished Trails in the Sky. Maybe it’s about time I started Trails in the Sky SC.

Are you looking forward to Trails of Cold Steel III? How do you feel about NIS America handling it?
