The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is the seventh game in the 'Kiseki' series, as it's known in Japan. It is known as the 'Trails' series in the west. This was the fourth Trails game released here, immediately after Trails of Cold Steel, which we reviewed. Now that this game has been released on PC, all of the English Trails games are playable, in arguably their definitive form, on Windows PC. This game is a direct sequel to Cold Steel; if you would rather not skip the first movie in the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings sagas, then I would highly recommend not doing so here as well. Since this is a highly connected series, you absolutely must play The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel before playing this game. If you skip directly to this game, there are many scenes that will not make sense. Do not do this.
A new figure has been made available for pre-order for fans of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II portraying playable heroine Altina Orion.
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
We've rounded up a few PS3 games that show serious potential for big price jumps over the next few years. Could these reach "Holy Grail" status?
I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.
Replies(1)Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.
Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep
yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.
I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.
I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.

value for the game new is 60$
I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time
At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.
Don't talk to me about seller's regret...
PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.
Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.
One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.
That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.
Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.
ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.
Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
It's a must play imo =)
Can't wait for the next chapter!
