Samuel Howitt: "At first impression, I had a very knee-jerk reaction to compare The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel to Persona. All of this due to the high-school setting, relationships you can “level up” by spending time with others, and a dungeon that expands over the course of the story. However once you get into the game that impression very quickly goes away and it builds into something more unique. Honestly my initial mental comparison to Persona probably did the game no favours."
If you're familiar with the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series, it has some really beautiful mecha, and a new model kit is now up for preorders.
Total sales for the Trails series of The Legend of Heroes games have surpassed seven million units worldwide, developer Falcom announced.
If Final Fantasy is my favorite JRPG franchise then Legend of Heroes: Trails is my 2nd favorite. Severely underrated series... It has it's fans but it should be a bigger deal if you ask me.
7 million ain't bad but it should be even more.
It really should be. I wish more would play but to many gamers out there need instant gratification and just dont have the attention span. Shame really jrpgs used to be hot back in the 90s. Most people i knew and myself played them from ff to breath of fire and phatasy star.
Disagree all you want by they way better back then cant deny it. Only thing better these days is graphics. Graphics dont make a game great.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not sure why anyone would disagree with you. But that's just how N4G is.
At first I would get a little bit impatient with Trails of Cold Steel myself, having to go on all those field studies and reading all the talking they did, it was almost too detailed. But eventually I got used to it and it was worth it because by the end I was that much more involved in the story. These days I'm totally into JRPG's and even some visual novels.
Well i hope thats good enough for them to understand that we in the west enjoy these games to and bring what hasnt been out over maybe some older ones get re released on playstation and switch and hire more to help translate faster. Good for loh
Right now my top 3 jrpg's are
1. Persona
a tie between Legend of Heroes(series) and Final Fantasy(series)
This game is underrated and the sale should be more
Today Nihon Falcom announced with a press release that The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series will get an anime.
