It’s time to brush up on Erebonian history
I don’t know about you, but summer has been a great season for Nihon Falcom’s titles. XSEED’s PC port ofYs Sevenis on the horizon, andZwei: The Ilvard Insurrectionis making its debut in the West. Now we can complete this glorious occasion withThe Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steelhitting Steam, GOG, and the Humble Store on August 2.
Since the game is one of my favorite RPGs of2015, I’m glad that more people will get to explore Erebonia. WhileTrails of Cold Steelstarted off slow, its pacing worked well in getting people acquainted with the setting’s culture, conflicts, history, and inhabitants.
When you factor in XSEED’s decision to add 5,000 new voiced lines to this release, players are in forTrails of Cold Steel’sbest version. To top it off, Peter “Durante” Thoman, the modder who fixedDark Soul’sPCport, is adding the finishing touches to the title. Based on his previous work, the game will run well on your machine.
Seeing that the title ended with an emotional cliffhanger, let’s hope that people won’t have to wait too long for its sequel to hit PC. If it does well, it could increase the chances ofTrails to Zero/Zero no KisekiandTrails to Azure/Ao no Kisekigetting over the barrier. As we wait for August to arrive, you can read Durante’s blog about his involvement with the gamehere.
