The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky trailer

Life is supported on the back of a crafting technology known as “orbment.” Fifty years ago, during what’s come to be known as the “Orbal Revolution,” the discovery of orbment led to a period of rapid human advancement, birthing technologies of all shapes and sizes -- not the least of which was the airliner, or “orbalship” industry. Although the positive impact of this revolution is obvious, every coin has a flipside; for every beneficial device developed with these new materials, so too were advanced weapons and other implements of war. Thus, the land became mired with turmoil, and remains in such a state even now.

Enter, the bracers: an organization established to serve as police and intermediaries alike, holding above all else the peace and safety of the lands under their jurisdiction. Whenever a citizen is in need of assistance, he or she may place a request at the local Bracer Guild -- and be it monster extermination, crime prevention or even peace talks among warring nations, the bracers will do whatever they can to resolve the matter cleanly and efficiently.

Some matters require a gentler touch than others, however. With an orbalship transporting a legendary "S-rank" bracer named Cassius Bright suddenly gone missing, said bracer's daughter, Estelle, and adoptive son, Joshua, must join forces in search of him across the entire Kingdom of Liberl.

And what they find along the way could change both of their lives forever...

Hailed as one of the largest, longest and most meticulously detailed turn-based JRPG series of all time, this first chapter in the ongoing Trails saga sets the stage for what's quickly become Ys developer Nihon Falcom's most popular and best-selling franchise in their entire 30+ year history. Introducing people, places, ideas, events and lore that rival in complexity those of even the most highly-regarded fantasy epics in literature, the care and attention given to each and every NPC, location and historical in-game event is what sets The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky apart from its contemporaries.

Come join Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard, Olivier and the rest of the cast as they uncover the secret underbelly of Liberl in their first 50+ hour masterpiece, and see what Japanese gamers have been raving about for over ten years.

Getting this game was the best decision I ever made.

[bloodrunsclear]

I have the PSP version of this and, apart from a REALLY annoying penguin enemy, this was one of my favorites!

[FalcomIsLife]

Might just be the greatest JRPG we have ever seen.

[Christin-Eleven]

The best game i ever played! This is more than just a game! This is a Story! A story about heroes that needs to be told to everyone!

[RoSoliTaire]

I'm never getting tired of playing this game again and again.

[Kinarmi]

Getting this game and the games in this series are so worth the money. Best decision I have made!
The soundtrack and the storyline will keep you entertained for all the numerous hours you will spend playing it.

[raydeenk]

It's a Falcom game so it's immediately awesome. I just hope that an updated version of Sorcerian eventually gets released for the PC.

[blazenwhiper]

One of THE best games i've ever played. I'm so glad the second chapter is Almost done. Only thing they need to do is finish up the Q&A, then do some final bug checking and it'll be released.

[LiEnby]

PLAY THIS NOW

SERIOUSLY..

YOU WONT REGRET IT >_<

[galaxier]

Just finished this game today. Fucking amazing. Immediately starting SC!!

[LanceHogan]

Just finished this game. I was completely amazed by it. Ready to play chapter 2!

[Deiku]

These comments look really positive... I've decided! I'm gonna try it out!
I may even stream or record this game hopefully it was money well spent :)

[reelFUTURE]

Is it wrong to say I still want to play this version on the switch, even in the advent of the remake announcement? Been waiting forever for this to happen but it’s probably not going to. Was gonna start at the “Zero” game but I was told that was highly not recommended.

[germanshoe]

Only the best jrpg ever created. Everyone should at least try this game, its now expensive and is about 30-40 hours a playthrough.

[paulotarcyo]

This graphics reminds me of Ragnarok 1, good times.

[binxmaster]

Alright! You've convinced me to play the game.

[haydnmalyon]

Ever wonder where those monsters you fight in this game come from? 1:26 Umbrella.

[catman]

Why does it remind me of Ys: Ark of Napishtim so much?

[Rafa]

Nice game, but too bad it is a full catastrophe at the same time. At least regarding the technical issues on PC

[emeraldsmaragd]

That battle voice/voice acting in general was so childish and annoying(not to mention that characters look like kids from kindergarten). They are destroying jrpgs with things like this.
I hope that there will be a option to turn that voice stuff off.
