Tried playing the CS3 demo off the Japanese eShop last night before bed. It actually runs really good in handheld mode. It’s been added to my master list for Switch games to buy this year.

Uhh…

That’s CS 3 you demoed.

highlights:

Hajimari no Kiseki is looking to be similar to The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd . Is this being seen as an opportunity to bring in content that may have been cut from it, or is the game going to focus primarily on content based on topics that have come up in more recent titles?

Kondo: “While this is certainly a fan service aspect, the volume of the main story is quite hefty compared to the 3rd . The amount of text in the main scenario for Hajimari no Kiseki is about 80 percent of Trails of Cold Steel IV , so rather than identical to the 3rd , we want you to think of it as something more like ‘a new title with the 3rd -like components.’ New characters that are planned to appear in future titles in the Trails series will also debut in Hajimari no Kiseki .”

—We’ve heard that the in-game book series “3 and 9” will have ties to Hajimari no Kiseki . Are there other books in the Trails series that players should brush up on before Hajimari no Kiseki releases?

Kondo: “While you definitely want to go over ‘3 and 9,’ you may also want to review ‘Carnelia.'”

—The series is expected to move eastward to Calvard and beyond after Hajimari no Kiseki , but will some of the currently unseen regions in the northwest, such as Jurai, North Ambria, and Remiferia be left to side or parallel content as seen in The Legend of Heroes: Akatsuki no Kiseki ?

Kondo: “We’ve not yet decided. Since the stage is set to extend to the east of the continent, many new areas will be introduced. We’ll figure out how to depict and handle each in time, but we think an Akatsuki -like approach is interesting and something to think about in the future.”

—Falcom games are notorious for their delayed releases in the west. Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki , for example, never made it out in English. With the PlayStation 4 versions on the way, are there any plans to release those titles in the west? How about Ys IX: Monstrum Nox ?

Kondo: “I very much regret that we were unable to release Zero and Ao [in the west]. I think that releasing on PlayStation 4 will lead to an opportunity to release these games in North America and Europe. As for Ys IX , preparations are currently underway for release [in the west].”

—With the release of Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki for PlayStation 4, the Trails in the Sky series will be the only games in the mainline Trails series not playable on PlayStation 4. Given that they were re-released for PlayStation 3, do you plan on making these titles available for PlayStation 4 as well? Is there any hope of playing the PSP-only Nayuta no Kiseki on a modern console?

Kondo: “Both users who own modern consoles and platform holders often request Trails in the Sky , so I have some homework to do. Personally, I’d like to recreate everything in 3D. Nayuta ‘s gameplay is also extremely well received, so I think it would be a waste to bury it as a PSP-only title.”

Falcom needs a bigger budget for Rixia.
