For a few though, many gamers would know the series by its original Japanese title: Sora no Kiseki, which originally began its life as a PC game in 2004. Two years later, the first game in the Sora no Kiseki trilogy was ported over to the Sony PSP and eventually, both the PC and PSP would see re-releases of the games in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The 2008 edition of Sora no Kiseki for the PSP was actually the complete trilogy with added voice acting. Finally, in May of 2010, XSEED Games announced that they would be bringing the trilogy over to North America where it was to be renamed The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky."
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."
As i was scrolling down i thought for a second this was the Skies of Arcadia 2 news of my dreams but i guess not :{
I recommend it. I bought the platinum edition in Japan last september but have yet to play it, but the previous Legend of Heroes, The Gagharv Trilogy easily game me one of the best JRPG experiences I've had so far, so I can imagine this being similar. Would love to see Falcom bring their magic to consoles. They'd give Final Fantasy a run for its money.
