XSEED Games has confirmed that the eagerly anticipated RPG title The Legend of Heroes: Trails in The Sky SC will be made available for Windows PC worldwide next week on October 29th. The game will be priced at $29.99 in PC digital platforms GOG.com and Steam.
Developed by legendary RPG specialists Nihon Falcom, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in The Sky SC picks up mere hours after the conclusion to The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, with Estelle traveling across Liberl in search of Joshua. Her journey involves more than seeking loved ones, however, as the Bracer Guild also tasks her with unraveling the mysteries behind the newly unveiled Society of Ouroboros.
As the press release reads, in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in The Sky SC, Falcom’s celebrated Sound Team jdk returns with a massive and highly lauded score that perfectly complements the tumultuous resolution to one of the most moving and expansive JRPGs ever created.
“The series’ staple strategic turn-based system with unmatchable customization has been taken even further with all new arts, crafts, upgraded orbments, and combo attacks. The meticulously detailed land of Liberl awaits the player’s return with new quests, mini-games and collectibles to offer, along with a host of both new and familiar locations that are populated with hundreds of unique NPCs, each featuring his or her own story to tell.”
Enjoy!

OMG SO EXCITED!
With the touch-ups they’ve made to this the English PC version really puts the original release to shame. Funny to think Xseed puts more effort into supporting these games than Nihon Falcom does (who seem to have forgotten about the PC entirely).
Would be nice if they did.
If the development trouble with Sen are anything to go by they really had no idea how to develop for consoles.
Though that could have just been teething issues with the PS3s infamous hardware simply being too much for a developing branching out onto console.
The JRPG genre on the “big” consoles is pretty much dead, while there is the high demand on tactical turn-based RPG’s on PC. The failure of XCOM on consoles, and the PC exclusivity of XCOM 2 is really shows everything.
For a JRPG game it’s really either a handheld console or PC right now. Not much of a choice. And since Nihon Falcom is married with XSEED, I don’t see any problems.
Finally. I’m glad it’s coming out just before a holiday.

STEAM wishlisted
One thing great about the PC as gaming Platform: You can decide from which online service you buy your game from.
I definitely WILL get this off of GoG. Mainly due to the fact that I’ve been able to support XSeed’s efforts on there for a while now. Consistency I guess. I also use Steam only if I’m certain that a game isn’t moving to other digital stores in the near future. Case in point; Namco’s Tales of…. appearance and SquareEnix’s Final Fantasy on PC
To be gay is an option too.

Nope. And theres a ton of DRM free games at STEAM. Incluind Witcher 3. Even GTA V…
Never lost my pass, if STEAM is “down” i can always play offline mode.
And I am a monthly buyer and player…So I aint saying bull$hit
There aint a thing in GOG that cant take me off from STEAM.
Try HARDER..
#SteamFtW
Nope. STEAM aint a common DRM…
I did test its DRM…and played in offline mode for about 23days. No internet required from games..
What kind of DRM would be that…
And I played GTAV, HitmanAb, Witcher3 and La noire in that span of days…
Why? I don’t understand why anyone would, given the choice between obnoxious DRM (ie:Steam) and DRM-free (by and large) that they’d get the version with the DRM.
No, you cannot have games without DRM on Steam as Steam itself is DRM.
GOG allows you to download it and you can do what you want with it. No having to connect online to Steam, no having to run Steam to play the game.
I don’t know how big XSEED is, but It would be very nice if they had resources to establish a small studio to actually port other Falcom/ japanese games from handheld to PC. There’re so many titles that would sell well on PC, especially jRPGs and dungeon crawlers.
