[@saber7534]

For anyone wondering, this series has a long history of delayed western releases. Both this game and its predecessor have been out for ages in japan, its just only now coming over, hence why the releases are so close together.

[@xeveemon]

Honest thank you for the information, I was confused for a moment there since the first one literally just released. 😅 Aside question, do you need to play any of the other games to play the first one of this? I have never played any of these games, yet they look like I would enjoy them, but I don’t know where to start with this series 😅

[@erickmaverick3128]

That explains it

[@saber7534]

@xeveemon while there's some minor references you won't get and a small amount of returning characters, Daybreak is a perfectly fine starting point as it mostly follows its own plot and it's own cast. If you're mostly only a switch user, it's your best choice for a starting game since the other two best options aren't available on switch and one of them isn't avaliable on modern consoles besides PC.

[@ChrisTM]

​@@xeveemon Yes this series is very connected and has an overarching story. Ideally you want to start with Trails in the Sky FC but if you want to play something newer then Daybreak 1 is a decent start! I started out of order myself and I love the series so do whatever is the most fun for you!

[@saber7534]

Just don't start midway through an arc, that's a terrible idea. If the game has a 2 or a 3 or a 4 in its name avoid it till you've played the first game and move up. Arcs are generally relatively self contained and understandable as long as you play the games in said arc in order.

[@Unknown_User174]

A sequel of The Legend of Heroes: Trials of Daybreak coming early next year. The Legend of Heroes fans are gonna have so much fun next year.🙂

[@GamingG4276]

I recently got a Steam Deck and just started getting into the series. So far, I've only finished the first Trails in the Sky game. But this will be more then enough time to catch up.

[@tagon2381]

Hope you have fun! Be very careful with trails burnout though, those games get very long (mostly with the CS games, I’ve put between 70-120 hours on a single playthrough), and some of the series get very very samey after a while. Make sure to take breaks, but hope you enjoy them :)

[@domfabio8850]

Just don't let FOMO get to you, just go at your own pace and eventually you'll be all caught up, NISA takes forever to localize these games anyway. Savor the series and take breaks whenever you start to feel burnout, series is an absolute blast and full of masterpiece storytelling.

[@MisterMonsterMan]

Early 2025! Keep it coming!

[@TimePostTV]

Awesome 👍

[@UltimateDragonDetective]

Let me just say one thing: WHAAAAAAAAT?!😲

[@ZephyrK_]

Daybreak came out today, Ys: X Nordics is out in October and Daybreak 2 launches in Early 2025. If we by some miracle get Kai late 2025/early 2026 then it’d be the first time since the franchise began in 2002 that international audiences are caught up to the original’s release. All this being said there is now a small possibility that the Final Saga for Trails will POTENTIALLY be launched worldwide simultaneously.

[@asawarai]

Assuming Kai doesn’t release before “early 2025” then western audiences will be caught up as soon as Daybreak 2 releases. Good point about worldwide release though. If they release Kai in late 2025 and target a western release for mid 2026, and leave a gap of a year and a half or so between Kai and the next game, that does leave enough time for both regions where a worldwide release would be sensible - though it would require Falcom to share the scripts internationally pre-release

[@ZephyrK_]

@@asawarai Kai is releasing in a couple of months (September 2024) in Japan, I meant the international release might come out in Late 2025/Early 2026 which would make us caught up since the next mainline Trails releases late 2026 in Japan.

[@asawarai]

@@ZephyrK_ yeah apologies I got confused on the Kai release date somehow

[@creekandseminole]

Early 2025 probably means by March at the latest

[@ogre706]

Man... the Trails games look great and have generally positive reviews, and I would love to get into the series. But how many entries are there now? How many hours does it take to complete just one of them? And how much time in my life is there?

[@baddecisionthebold2379]

Well... there's the sky trilogy, the Crossbell duology (Zero/Azure), Cold Steel 1-4, Reverie, and now Daybreak 1 & 2. That makes 12 games and I don't think any of them are short... I'm just now realizing this series is like the video game equivalent to One Piece, good god.

[@Jack-xe2xe]

U can start with daybreak, new character ( this, previous character is cameo ), new country, new story and arc. So ot safe if u wanna go with this one

Ok so you start with the sky series which has 3 games but it’s only on pc then you go to zero then azure which is on everything and then you play the cold steel games in order of course again on everything then you do reviere and then finally daybreak which just released today on console

[@Guerroshelly101]

Dont let these comments daunt you , Its perfectly fine to start with day break since its a completely new arc, while major events will be spoiled to you from previous games, if your interested enough of those events and characters you can always go back and play the previous arcs.
