(Yes, I’m still cropping the key art to avoid showing spoilers.)

We have a release date! Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, the remake of the second Trails game, will be out on September 17 worldwide.

(Japanese preorders also include a download code for an HD remaster of the original Trails in the Sky, which is neat.)

There’s also a new trailer, although it’s a short one.

The trailer is fairly safe to watch in regards to spoilers, but I wouldn’t look into any other details about the game unless you’ve finished the first one.

Curiously, based on the character profiles on the official website, it seems there are also a couple recasts for the English voices since the first remake, which is surprising.

Loewe, who was voiced by Travis Willingham before, will now be voiced by Stephen Fu. Stephen Fu did his voice in Ys vs Trails in the Sky, so maybe they liked his direction more.

(It’s a little strange, though, since Loewe was one of the few characters to have dialogue in the initial teaser trailer for SC.)

Second, Weissmann is now voiced by Liam O’Brien instead of David Lodge.

It’s kind of a shame, because I thought it was really neat how they got pretty much the whole voice cast to return from the original games, even though the original English voice acting was pretty much just battle cries.

Anyway, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is coming soon! Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to continuing my journey through the later games…

The Final Trails Game Will Be Announced in 2031

The Trails series has been going for a long time, with the most recent entry being Trails Beyond the Horizon.

But since it’s a series with an overarching story, it has to come to an end someday… and that time might finally be approaching.

This year is the 45th anniversary of Falcom, and in a recent Famitsu interview, translated by Gematsu, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo said that for the 50th anniversary, they will announce the final entry in the Trails series.

Specifically, the plan is to announce it in 2031 and finish it in 2032. The ending of the series has been decided.

That’s left fans debating about how many games might be released between now and then and whether or not it will actually be the actual final game or just the start of the final arc.

Now, I know I’ve been making the world’s slowest progress through the Trails series, but I really want to be caught up before the series ends so I can experience waiting for a new entry along with everyone else. It sounds like I’ve got my deadline set. 5 years should be plenty of time for me to catch up… right?

How do you feel about the end of the Trails series being on the horizon? Do you think the 50th anniversary announcement will really be the final game in the saga?

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Collector’s Edition Announced, But…

I might have only played the Trails in the Sky games so far, but I’m excited to get deeper into the Trails series, and I keep buying the special editions.

(Here’s hoping I catch up before the series ends so I’ll eventually buy a limited edition that won’t sit for ages.)

In fact, I’m still waiting for my Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Collector’s Edition contents to arrive from Limited Run Games… and now a Collector’s Edition for the upcoming Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter has been announced.

Unlike the previous one, this one is being sold through Panax Store instead of Limited Run Games… and it costs $274.99?? ($279.99 for the Switch 2 version.)

This “Golden Wings Edition” includes the game, a model diorama of the Glorious and Arseille, a steelbook case, an artbook, a mini soundtrack CD, a Collector’s Box, and a digital season pass for cosmetic DLC.

That’s a good Collector’s Edition, but I don’t think it’s worth $275 for me, personally. I assume the diorama is what’s pushing the price up so much, and while it’s nice, I don’t want it that badly. I’m also not familiar with Panax Store, which makes me a little less likely to buy it, too. (Although really, at $275, I’d probably pass even if it was at a store I buy from all the time.)

I’d like to get a special edition of some kind, so I hope they’ll have other options. Maybe there will at least be a separate steelbook option, or a smaller limited edition without the diorama.

What do you think of the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Collector’s Edition?
