I learned that lesson after 2 years of nothing Tales livestreams
It seemed like it was meant to be canon at one point, if still largely irrelevant.So was Akatsuki no Kiseki always meant to be non-canon to the main series or was this a more recent change?
Does it mean we won't be seeing Nacht, Chloe and the other characters in the mainline series? Shame, if so.
Maybe they'll redo it as a proper game at some point. Not that every known region of Zemuria absolutely NEEDS their own game.
Shipping Rean is the current hotness, if they confirm anything it will be partway through the next arc.
Post CS4 shipping poll spoilers, I haven't played CS4 personally but if you haven't you should probably avoid this unless you've already seen said poll:
Like at this point Falcom is well aware of what the most popular Rean ship is. They might confirm ReanxAlisa eventually, but whilst they're selling body pillows it's in their best interest to keep things vague. Capitalism yo!
Sen no Kiseki's most popular pairings: 1. Rean & Crow (1015) / 2. Jusis & Millium (379) / 3. Rean & Alisa (350) / 4. Jusis & Machias (334) / 5. Rean & Altina (299).I know this post is a week old but what's the popular ship with Rean? According to the polls I mean. I didn't know that was a thing and that I would be so curious.

Rean/Laura came in 17th and Rean/Sara didn't even make it into the top 30.Seriously though, I was expecting like Rean/Laura or Rean/Sara or something. I guess because of how bratty Alisa came off in the first game that I mentally labeled her as a little sister figure to Rean and don't like that pairing. 🤷🏽♂️ The masses has spoken I guess.

BL (Boys' Love) or Yaoi, you mean. The combis Dengeki polled don't have to be romantic in nature; Rean/Valimar came in 13rd.After seeing the results I can easily believe that. The whole Naruto and Sasuke thing along with it's fanbase ruined the whole best friend Shonen pairing. No biggie, I'm just amazed Dorothee got her high school Yuri(that's the name of the genre she's into? Someone told me but I forgot) Novella.

Still going through my CS1 replay and I had finally accepted Alisa as the "canon" relationship for Rean, but now y'all got me wanting to pick Crow lol. As much as I like the Cold Steel series, I don't enjoy having to plan Rean's love life for him. With intricate, continuous stories like this I really do prefer just having relationships set in stone.
I miss the simple times with Estelle. She knew what she wanted, went after her man and saved his ass, now the happy couple is free to reappear in the series and advertise their love whenever they want. Will Rean ever be allowed to have such a deep relationship with any of the members of his harem beyond the Cold Steel series? It's hard to imagine that being possible.
I wonder if they'll ever be brave enough to set the current bonding system aside for future games in the series. I'd like another female mc like Estelle tbh but it's hard to imagine them wanting to risk upsetting certain fans now that they've take the series down this "choose your own waifu" path.
Is this a normal thing for NISA? Fan art contests, jacket contests, hosting Falcom's president locally during Anime Expo (twice).

If you're a western fan of The Legend of Heroes series then you probably have heard of Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki. The two titles were created as a bridge between Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel, but sadly, the titles have yet to receive a western release.
Incidentally, the consoles that the titles have released on, PSP and PS Vita, aren't supported anymore, which puts the potential publisher and the developer in a tight position when working out ways to bring the game west. However, all hope is not lost for fans as Nihon Falcom's President Toshihiro Kondo has commented on what it would take for the two titles to come west in an interview with Noisy Pixel, by saying, "As creators, we want as many people as possible to play these games and also to give Japanese players a chance to replay them. Although there isn't anything to officially announce, we are working internally to figure out how to get these games on newer consoles."
Interestingly, Kondo-san added, "And once we do, I'm confident that NISA will translate them for you and release them in the west."
So it seems like it's only a matter of time before The Legend of Heroes fans get the good news that they've been waiting for. When that time will be is another story, but at least the team is acknowledging the potential of the titles coming to the west and on updated hardware.
Please look out for our full interview with Kondo-san soon.
Excellent. That's the news I've been waiting for.
Apparently the Crossbell arc almost didn't happen as it wasn't planned in the beginning
As far as I know, yes.If your agility says something like "11 (25)", does it mean your actual agility attribute is 11 and your chance to evade any physical attack is 25%?
IT'S A KISEKI
Edit: Actually reading what's said, it's still a bit of a non-answer. Good news though
Cold Steel on PSP... man, can you even imagine? Seemed like they were going for full 3D models in battle at least.Yeah, that's been known for awhile. They were originally going to go straight from SC to Cold Steel. Then they decided to do the Crossbell arc and started working on Zero, and then after that realized they needed another game to set it up and made 3rd.
Not falling for Kondo's empty statements again. I won't believe anything he says until it's an official announcement.
*angry fanboy noises*Sadly, I am 99% sure they're going to go with Trails to Zero, cause it's safer.

I'm curios if the NISA translation will somehow be worse than the leaked fan-translation. If anyone can pull that off, it's NISA.
That's like the definition of an empty statement, Falcom didn't have to "try harder" to release a Trails or Ys game in the west. They just had to not suddenly refuse to license their games out. Multiple parties are interested in localizing their games.Hey, Kondo said he'd try harder to make sure new Trails games are released in the West, and we've gotten Cold Steel 3 since then and Cold Steel 4 seems likely enough. That said, I'm not going to even think about localized English versions of the Crossbell duology appearing on the PS4 or elsewhere until it's announced for Japan, so those games have a long way to go before we can even hope to see them officially in English.
I'm not discounting that it may happen eventually but Kondo says a lot of things and not all of it happens to be true. But well, he did casually reveal Ys 9 was a thing in an interview with an obscure French blog way before its official announcement so who knows.Hey, Kondo said he'd try harder to make sure new Trails games are released in the West, and we've gotten Cold Steel 3 since then and Cold Steel 4 seems likely enough.

recent game from a recent well performing series gets next instalment localised, what an achievementHey, Kondo said he'd try harder to make sure new Trails games are released in the West, and we've gotten Cold Steel 3 since then and Cold Steel 4 seems likely enough.
