Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky has been available in Japan for seven years now but it wasn't until now that we Western gamers were finally able to get our hands on it. It represents a branch of the larger Legend of Heroes tree which can trace its origin back more than two decades to the (Japanese release only) Dragon Slayer games. Although Trails in the Sky is the first part of this trilogy to come to North America, its habit-forming gameplay and strong story stake a bold claim for what will no doubt continue to be a very popular series.
While yesterday Nihon Falcom announced the latest The Legend of Heroes title for Japan, during their investor Q&A it was revealed that the company plans to re-release The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky for modern platforms - though they don't quite know what form such a re-release might take.
If they released a physical collection of the original Trails of Sky, I would get it in a heartbeat.
Steam's annual Summer Sale is here again, and here's a couple of great deals for fans of Japanese games who aren't sure what to get!

"I’m a big JRPG fan, so it was a matter of time before I learned of Trails of Cold Steel and Trails in the Sky. A few days ago I finally completed Trails in the Sky Series and I’m glad to announce it got me super excited to continue through Cold Steel.
As the title suggests, this review will only cover Trails in the Sky, which is only the first 3 games of a 9 game franchise, with another game coming out 2023."
