Yeah!!! Time for me to play Joshua as my main again!!! I can't remember clearly but maybe I can get to see Josette Capua in the first chapter as well? The Hype !!!

MY GIRL YUNIKA IS IN THE GAME I want this now despite knowing nothing about trails and only playing 3 Ys games but I’m getting it for my girl yunika alone now

Not sure am looking forward to this. But i will see what its like.

Falcom been my new got for games since sqaure Enix been fumbling

I already spent the majority of last year playing only falcom games, & it's looking like that's going to continue well into next year. I think not-falcom made up like 10ish% of my total playtime last year. I didn't even plan that either, it just happened

RIP Cyrus, you will be remembered for being the smelliest onion of them all

Erika was right....that sir....is the strongest weapon in zemuria

Looks cool. I really need to play some Ys games. That’s about the only major rpg series I’ve never played, for no good reason.

I would love more series crossovers between the 2. They could even excuse it by just having Adol shipwreck into Zemuria because ofc he would end up there with his insane sense of adventure. Then Zemuria slowly and dreadfully starts realizing everything Adol has gone through and is capable of and how much trouble just follows him everywhere he goes XD. Would make Adol vs McBurn probably look like Saitama vs Boros.

This already looks fun, but if they somehow do a sequel and decide to make it a more traditional fighter instead of an arena fighter, I'm gonna melt.

I am beyond excited! So happy Trails is starting to get the love it has earned and deserves!

Also and I almost forgot to tell you this, there is a neat little trick to switch back and forth during videos like these that goes frame by frame. When you watch, for example, Kais opening again and pause the video you can press either . or , to view the video frame by frame. I think , goes back to the previous frame and . goes forward one frame. You can try it out later. I guarantee it works. I am note sure if you knew this trick, but it is really handy and I thought you should know about it. It is especially handy when the video goes too fast to pause well with the space button. Just give this method a try and see what it does.

We gotta buy this game so we eventually get a 2nd one man. I'd pay an ungodly amount of money to see Adol fight Rean!

If this sells well, maybe Falcom should make more fighting games featuring their IPs. How about Ys vs. Trails, Trails vs. Trails, Trails vs. The Legend of Heroes, or an All-Star rumble.

Anelace is here That’s all we need to know

Falcom fans stay winning. Excited to whip out my wallet again for Ys and to experience Trails in the Sky

First off, this opening was pretty cool. You really have to play more Ys games Cyrus. You know what? When you finish Reynatis and Ys 2, just ignore whatever else you have planned and play YS 7. Although the Napishtim games would probably be better. Ys Origin gives you great lore for YS 2, but just ignore that game for now and play Felghana and Napishtim and Seven. Geis is in 2 of those games and he is one of my favorite Ys characters. Napishtim is also the game where Not Arios is from and the guy next to Renne and Loewe was a major character from Felghana. Know what? I will finally use my Steam controller and play Ys 7 next after I finish my Switch game. I want to play as Geis. I think he is cool. And I just took some nice pictures from my newly obrained YS artbook and will put them on the falcom sub right now! But yes, play more Ys games. Geis is amazing. And I only know him from Napishtim. But he is just that cool. I really hope he appears again.

If they make a sequel, they better add Arianrhod otherwise I will write a very angry letter to Kondo

can you believe it? we got arts-triggered link follow-ups before Arcus Link. though honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they did a neat twist to work this in as a deviation in causality or something.

I doubt this one will get a lot of attention, but it's still nice to see yet another Falcom game long lost to the winds of time finally get an English release. It really is an exciting time to be a Falcom fan.

Jun Iwasaka is the CEO formerly at XSeed (formerly at Square Enix during the Playstation/PS2 era) and is now the President of GungHo. But he's been the president for a while since 2012 so while he is probably the one who got the license rights for Trails in the Sky FC he was not the one in charge at XSeed after getting whatever Sky licenses he could. That said this president in an interview back in 2012 did say the following "It may sound cliché, but our rule is to create games that we ourselves would enjoy." It looks like GungHo might be the ones in charge of doing any remakes going forward while NISA does current Ys & Trails and XSeed does Ys remasters and Aksys does Xanadu. But wait there is another...

Lots of news this time around. It's genuinely amazing the speed at which Falcom works considering their size. I guess that just goes to show how having a small, very coordinated team and a heavy dose of asset reuse (+ cannibalizing your own works) does wonders for efficient game development (AAA certainly could learn from that after the disaster that was 2024). Celceta for Switch is good. Not much to add since supposedly Falcom ain't adding nothing new to it, but it's good to see one of the more "underrated" (not quite the right word since Celceta does have some genuine problems, but you get what I mean) titles in the series. As for Proud Nordics, I can understand why people are angry. The game might be almost 2 years old in JP, but it did just release in the west, so it does sting a bit to hear it's getting an expansion/dlc(?) out of nowhere. That said, I find the whole "Falcom's pulling an Atlus" thing to be a bit cringe. This is far from the 1st time Falcom has done expansions to their non-Kiseki game titles 1 or 2 years post launch (The most recent examples being Ys 8 and Tokyo Xanadu EX+). The only difference this time is that, for better worse, the localization times have gotten so short that now we have to deal with things like these instead of exclusively getting the complete versions of the game later down the line. Honestly, more than anything, I'm a bit sad that it was Ys X that got this treatment when in my opinion it's already a very feature complete game (especially considering it's the 1st game after a new battle system) when Ys IX deserves it much much more. IX is already an excellent game, imo, but you can tell Falcom was struggling since it came out in the tail end of their transitioning period to their new engine. IX could have really benefited from a once over / expansion. That said, I do think Ys X is a very good game. I'm curious to see what they decide to add in the expansion. Depending of the direction they take it, it could be incredibly hype. Now, for Sky 1st: Gotta say, I'm glad I got proven correct when I said in my last comment that worrying over who was gonna license the game or if it was going to be multiplatform was a huge waste of time. It's obvious from the interviews that came out around that time that Nintendo showed the Trailer way earlier than Falcom was expecting, so things were still being worked on backstage. Just goes to show that creating drama over these things isn't really worth it. The localization topic is an interesting one since the language being used is not exactly super clear, but I think there's a possibility we are going to get a new localization for Sky. I honestly 50/50 on the whole ordeal, but if that does indeed happen, I can already tell you it's not going to be a fun time for the community (even if FC does have it's fair share of translation issues that should totally be address, regardless of if the localization is new or not). The music is another aspect I'm really curious about. Four months ago I was pretty certain they're just going to use the original OST (with maybe an option for the EVO version) and that they would add tracks from the super arranged versions in special places throughout the game. As the months have passed, however, I'm becoming more and more uncertain when it comes to this point. I dunno... I just feel it in my bones Falcom is gonna want to do a new version of the OST to celebrate the game being remade and they just aren't showing them yet because they aren't ready yet. If that is indeed the case, I just hope they do what they did with their other games (like Ys 1 & 2) and give you an option to switch between the different versions of the soundtrack at will. I'm very thorn on the combat actually being like Daybreak + there being the equivalent of combat links... I can understand why Falcom wants to add them from a gameplay perspective since they do make the game a lot more fun, but at the same time, it kinda opens a big can of worms since gameplay improvements are justified in-lore as technology advancing. Not only does it open issues on the lore front, it also kinda robs the evolution of the gameplay you see throughout the series if you play them in order. I'm not completely against them adding this, but I do hope they justify it well, at the very least. And man... The characters models and the expressions look so freaking good. It really is amazing to see how far Falcom has come in the last few years. It's very clear they've managed to optimize their new engine after Ys X and the work they're doing with it is *chef's kiss*. Can't wait to see some of the key moments of FC (both action and emotional) in this level of quality.

Now is a good time Cyrus show us your courtesy and giveaway (to me) both this and sky remake

So can somebody help me, as somebody who thoroughly play the sky trilogy in absolutely adored every moment of it, but have not played daybreak, how does the combat work? You don't have to use real-time combat? I always really enjoyed the turn-based.

Scherazard looks too young ho (:O Is she a teenager now ? O:) What happened with her adult charm hee ho ? (:o

2:10 Yeah, see, that's another great thing about this game, there's like 4 story campaigns and all of the story dialogue is fully voiced. 3:11 There is Xanadu character(s), at least its final boss is in, and some other games's characters appear as cameos when using supports, even Zwei. Kevin's in the game too, but you're in for a disappointment in that regard, that's all i'm gonna say without spoiling it.

The Ys vs Sora(and Zero since Lloyd is in the game) crossover is getting ported to pc too, i love what Falcom is cooking in 2025.

my monkey brain sees renne in the thumbnail and clicks

I recently bought Ys X Nordics and was looking forward to playing it over the holidays... Now, I'm just regretting that I bought an inferior incomplete version of the game... If they pull an Atlus and it's not upgradable or a dlc I'll turn into a pirate. No way I'm supporting this scummy business model and no way I'll ever buy a Falcom game at launch again... screw them

Praying Kai gets released globally in 2025 too (yeah I’m being greedy 😭)

Falcom!!

As a purest, I can accept the combat additions but ONLY if it's just for Estelle and Joshua, it'd go to show how close they already are even without something like an ARCUS, then 2nd Chapter could add it for everyone else to replace the "Chain Crafts" Am I sacrificing my values because this looks so good? Maybe. But... God damn it's so damn good I can't stop myself from being hyped as hell!

Is this real life ?👀😮

Ugh...

I thought those two hamsters were up to some funny business for a second lmao

Imo they only need the budget for a fully voiced dialogue and also so they could upgrade the cutscene fights

Would be nice to see the 3 legend of hero’s games on switch from PSP

It feels like we're well on the way to having global releases for new Trails games. The Sky remake is a MASSIVE deal in this regard, but even beyond that, I wanna see the game after Kai or maybe the one after that be a global release so that I don't need to dodge a year of spoilers! It'd be a dream come true just to have that. Falcom seems to be prioritizing localization a lot more recently, which is incredible.

....cyrus did not play sky???😢😢😢

Towa please stop staring at me

At least with 1st in the title, it's a good sign that 2nd and 3rd will follow.

subbed because you're a fellow Trails and Falcom fan!

Imported this long ago and it was pretty damn fun. It will be nice to play this and understand what's actually going on this time.

I'm very excited. Also, no mentioning of how I was the first to confirm it was going to be multi platform? :P

There was no news before now about this game being multiplatform. TBF, I wouldn't have minded if it was a Switch exclusive.
