Zero No Kiseki and Ao No Kiseki (pictured) could be localizedIf you’ve been following the Trails games, you might have noticed we’re missing a couple.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel games take place after the Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky games, but the Crossbell Arc falls in between.

Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki, the two games that make up the Crossbell Arc, have yet to be translated, and a lot of fans gave it up as an impossible hope… but maybe they’ll be localized after all.

In an interview with DualShockers, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo said localizing the Crossbell games is “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.”

This isn’t an official announcement, but if the president of the company wants to see Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki brought West, that sounds pretty good.

It’s also worth noting that Trails localizations had previously skipped over Trails in the Sky the 3rd, only for it to be announced earlier this year and released in May.

Personally, I’m partway through Trails in the Sky (First Chapter), and I’m excited for the chance to play even more games in this series. Here’s hoping Falcom finds a partner to localize the Crossbell Arc!

The Legend of Heroes series has caught my attention lately, especially since many fans celebrate it as one of the best classic-style turn-based RPG series still around.

Although I’m still at the start of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, I was excited to see the announcement today that Trails in the Sky the Third will be available through Steam on May 3.

But that’s not all! The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is also coming to Steam this summer, with over 5,000 new voiced lines compared to the PlayStation 3 and Vita versions.

(I have a copy of Trails of Cold Steel for the Vita, so I’ll probably stick with that, but it’s still interesting news.)

The Legend of Heroes is a large RPG series divided into several smaller series, all set in the same world. There’s another arc that goes between Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel, although there’s been no hints of localization for the “Crossbell Arc.”

Then again, with the way these announcements are coming, who knows?

Have you played any game in the Legend of Heroes series? Are you planning to pick up Trails in the Sky the 3rd or Trails of Cold Steel when they’re available from Steam?
