Trails, known as Kiseki (軌跡) in Japan, is a series of science fantasy role-playing video games by Nihon Falcom. It is a part of their larger The Legend of Heroes franchise and began with the release of Trails in the Sky in 2004. Set on the continent of Zemuria, it features a large cast of characters and is split into story arcs following an interconnected narrative. Trails was conceived as a goal by Falcom to create the most ambitious story in gaming, with company president Toshihiro Kondo considering it to be his life's work.

The games were released exclusively in Asia until the 2010s, with Xseed Games handling its English localization and global publishing until being replaced by NIS America in 2019. Trails games primarily feature turn-based combat, with some spinoffs and later entries featuring other styles of gameplay. The series is commonly praised for its worldbuilding and character arcs. It has also seen anime, manga, and audio drama adaptations, with the games selling six million copies as of 2021.

Overview

Trails is a series of science fantasy role-playing video games by Nihon Falcom.[1] It began as the sixth entry in Falcom's The Legend of Heroes franchise with the release of The Legend of Heroes VI: Trails in the Sky in 2004. Despite that, it had no narrative connection with prior Legend of Heroes games and has since been considered its own distinct franchise.[1][2] The Trails games are set within a few years of each other and follow an overarching narrative, with the events of some entries crossing over into another.[1][2][3] The series was created as a goal by Falcom to have the most ambitious story in video games, with company president and series producer Toshihiro Kondo considering it to be his life's work.[1][4][5] The games are made using proprietary game engines by Falcom, with the exception being Sony's PhyreEngine used for the Trails of Cold Steel games.[2][6] The series is heavily influenced by anime and features several archetypes and tropes common to it.[7][8][9]

Trails is set across several locations on the continent of Zemuria, such as the Liberl Kingdom, the city-state of Crossbell, the Erebonian Empire, and the Calvard Republic, among others.[3][10] Zemuria is home to several groups, factions, and organizations, such as the Bracer's Guild, the Septian Church, and the secret society of Ouroboros. The games are set half a century after the discovery of orbal energy, an analog to electric power.[4][10] This led to a technological revolution caused by the invention of Orbments, mechanical devices varying greatly in size and scope that run off orbal energy, powering things from everyday appliances to mecha and other weaponry.[4] Trails features sociopolitical elements, with issues such as imperialism, classism, and immigration being causes of conflict in its society.[4][8][11] In contrast with many other role-playing games, every minor non-playable character in the series has a name, with some having their own character arcs with varying degrees of importance to the main plot.[4][3][9]

Gameplay

File:Kuro no Kiseki battle.jpg
Examples of combat in Trails in the Sky SC (2006, top) and Kuro no Kiseki (2021, bottom)

The gameplay of Trails is turn-based and features combat without random encounters, with every enemy being visible on the overworld.[7][12] The games take place on a large tactical grid, with characters only able to move across a set number of squares or perform a single ability each turn.[9] Turns are listed on a timeline on the screen, which can be manipulated with certain abilities.[12] In addition to basic attacks and item usage, every character has abilities known as Crafts and Arts.[9] Crafts are unique to each character and are usually unlocked or strengthened by leveling up.[9] S-Crafts are a character's ultimate ability fueled by a meter that builds as they deal and take damage. When full, players can use it at any time to bypass the turn order to perform skills such as dealing large amounts of damage or supporting their party with healing and buffs.

Arts are magic-like spells that are powerful but take time to cast.[9] Rather than being unique to any specific character or monster like Crafts, Arts are determined by the type and arrangement of items known as Quartz in a system similar to the Materia mechanic from Final Fantasy VII.[9] Each successive game usually introduces new gameplay mechanics, such as the addition of Persona-like social events in Trails of Cold Steel or the optional action-based combat in Kuro no Kiseki.[13][14] Trails games are usually broken into chapters.

Trails is split into four story arcs so far: Trails in the Sky[a] (3 games), Crossbell (2 games), Trails of Cold Steel[b] (5 games), and Kuro no Kiseki (2 games).[1] The series also has a few spinoffs, some of which feature other styles of gameplay.

Liberl arc (Trails in the Sky)

Main articles: Trails in the Sky, Trails in the Sky SC, and Trails in the Sky the 3rd

The first arc of the series, Trails in the Sky, consists of three games. They are set within the Liberl Kingdom and primarily follow Estelle Bright and her adopted brother Joshua, members of the Bracer's Guild, a civilian peacekeeping and monster-hunting organization.[1] The first game, Trails in the Sky, released in Japan in 2004 for Windows and for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) in 2006.[15] The second game, Trails in the Sky SC,[c] continues the plot of the first and was released in Japan for Windows in 2006 and the PSP the following year.[15] The third and final game, Trails in the Sky the 3rd, follows Septian Church agent Kevin Graham, who is sent to an otherworldly dimension known as Phantasma alongside many characters from the previous two games. Sky the 3rd also features vignettes foreshadowing plot elements explored in later arcs. It was released in Japan in 2007 for Windows and for the PSP in 2008.[15]

In 2010, Xseed Games announced they would localize and publish the trilogy in English.[16] Despite the first game being finished in 2011, SC and the 3rd were not released until the mid-2010s due to several challenges during the localization process, such as slow communication with Falcom and occupational burnout due to the size of their scripts, with the first game alone having over 1.5 million Japanese characters.[17][18][19]

Crossbell arc (Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure)

The games did not see English releases for over a decade until NIS America, who took over rights to the series' English localization in 2019, announced Trails from Zero for release on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Windows in 2022.[21] Trails to Azure will release for the same platforms in 2023.[22]

Cold Steel III was released for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) in Japan in 2017, while Cold Steel IV released the following year. A fifth game, Trails into Reverie, released in 2020 and acts as an epilogue to both the Crossbell and Erebonia arcs and follows Rean, Lloyd, and a masked character known as C.[23]

English versions of Cold Steel and Cold Steel II were released by Xseed Games in 2017 and 2018, respectively. NIS America would release Cold Steel III in 2019, Cold Steel IV in 2020, and is scheduled to release Trails into Reverie in 2023.

Reception

Toshihiro Kondo, Falcom president and series producer, considers Trails to be his life's work.

Trails has been praised for its worldbuilding and character arcs,[1][2][4] with its scope and sense of continuity being compared to the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R. R. Martin,[7][8] the Forgotten Realms setting for Dungeons & Dragons,[11] and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[3] Despite the series' English localization being praised for their quality, their slow release pace has been criticized, with them tending to lag years behind the original Japanese games.[2][10][50][51] The music written for the series by Falcom Sound Team jdk, the company's internal music team, has also been praised.[10][12]

Characters or other elements from Trails have been featured in crossover promotions with other games, including Monster Hunter: Frontier G,[52] Chain Chronicle V,[53] Dead or Alive 5,[54] Fantasy Earth Zero,[55] Langrisser Mobile,[56] Utawarerumono: Zan,[57] Valkyrie Anatomia,[58] and some Japanese mobile games.[59][60][61] Some characters were also featured in a 2019 collaboration event with VREX, a virtual reality game arcade and café in Japan.[62] As of 2021, a list of Trails characters was the largest article on the Japanese Wikipedia at over 440,000 characters.[63] As of 2021, the series had sold over six million copies worldwide.[64]
