No more NISA, huh?

Do I make myself play the Steam version I paid for years ago so that I can finally get into the series that I own most of the games of but have never played?

Or...

Do I wait another year (or more) for the Switch release and pay another £40+ for the privilege?

I think we all know the answer. I'm off to pre-order...

@xenobladexfan

No, it's Playstation 5. There are R1, R2 and start button prompts shown.

Damn, I just finished the pc version earlier this year, but probably will double dip to support falcom and hopefully we get parts 2 and 3 remakes as well.

@Dimjimmer, it's confusing because the original reveal has the game running on the switch with Nintendo button controls but today's reveal is ps5, anyways I feel confident the game will run well on switch/switch2 as Falcom's switch games run well.

when the trailer was shown it looked like it was developed specifically for the switch ..

I hope the script is also being redone. I could not get through that wall of superfluous text.

Every other sentence started, or was continued with "That said", "Having said that" or any other variant of that manner of speech. I have come to understand it's a very common manner of speaking in Japanese, since it's in every single animé ever subtitled, but it just doesn't translate well. Or at least not to me. It annoyed the crap out of me.

so many rpg keep coming out you can never catch up with the backlog...

@xenobladexfan OH MY GOODNESS.

I know this isn’t an official western announcement, but I do feel that it starts a ticking clock towards one.
That’s so good o could cry

Wow they’ve completely stripped the soul from it. I get they want to homogenise the series but Sky’s a time capsule for a certain era of anime visuals which has aged really well. If they ‘update’ the script with the modern Trails writers it’ll end up an embarassing goonfest too, Cold Steel is such a colossal drop in quality.

Finally I can start the series I've been buying games for all these years!

Now Falcon is jumping between THREE publishers? Drama~

@nessisonett Goonfest, hahahah. I dread to ask what you mean by that but I have the feeling I know.

İt is looking great for 2025 for Nintendo.
There are games coming in 2025.
Let's hope it will be great year for Nintendo.
İ hope 2025 will be great year for Nintendo Switch and the next Nintendo console.
This game looks beautiful.

Never played Trials in the Sky, but this looks absolutely gorgeous. Maybe now is the time I'll jump into the series.

Perfect. I have the feeling this game will be a lot more enjoyable the the gameplay and presentation improvements.

@Daniel36 I lost my last shred of patience when the cat that had been in 3 whole games suddenly became a catgirl with feelings for the protagonist. Baffling.

@ScalenePowers, the Ys fandom has the game listed for switch.

@xenobladexfan Thank you for that link that confirms Ys: Memories of Celceta is also coming to Switch in 2025. That means since it's coming to Switch in Japan in 2025, we probably won't see an international release until 2027 or 2028. For some reason the localization for these older games took 2-3 years to localize.

@Serpenterror Memories of Celceta already has a localization on other consoles.

This looks amazing! I would definitely try this out. But damn, Fall of 2025? I doubt I’ll even remember it by that time. Still, this looks like exactly what I would want to play.

It looks so goooood. I just finally played this game a few months ago (Vita version with the English patch), and it was amazing. Playing through the second one now.

“The PC original”
@JimNorman I assume you meant the PSP original? PC version is a port of the PSP game. The sky trilogy was a psp exclusive inititially.

@Serpenterror I think that the game has a localization! So did Oath in Felghana but I think it was held up by issues with between companies (XSeed is kinda scummy it seems?)

I think with the arrival of OiF we may expect a quicker turnaround on Celceta.

Or I’m coping

@Zeebor15 Kind of wild to think with this announcement that Falcom games on the Switch have been released by 6 different publishers in North America: Gungho, NIS America, Xseed, Aksys (Tokyo Xanadu), DotEmu (Ys Origin), and D4 Enterprise (Ys, Ys II, Xanadu). I think that's all, am I missing any?

@Serpenterror that's okay, fingers crossed, Ys: Memories of Celceta, will come to Nintendo, I would guess either late 2025 or early 2026 western launch.
I would love to play all the Ys games on Nintendo hardware,

@vec42 For anyone intusted in pre-ordering a physical copy of Trails in the Sky, it will be handled by Clear River Games for Europe and Amazon as well.

@darkswabber
In japan the sky trilogy was on PC first, it was the crossbell games which were PSP exclusives initially.

@vec42 i forgot the Xanadu arm came back under Aksys. still confused why Focus had any interest in Ys....

@xenobladexfan This means North America is once stuck with Clear River's idiot cousin, Josh Fairhurst. Balls

@Zeebor15 is there something wrong with Limited Run games, I have bought a switch game published by Clear River and it was okay.

@xenobladexfan Clear River does hold a gun to Josh's head so that they actually get released in a tolerable state and condition, but he always relaeses them an extra month after Europe out of spite and/or to keep the expectations of the the cult of people that somehow still like him low.

To put it another way, you can go onto Amazon.co.uk, or a smattering of other European online retailers, and Snow Bros 3 will ship datly and date to you the same as any other game starting December 10 exactly. LRG just had it shoved in the corner and says "sometime in January maybe. July if you get the Statue. The same Statue and CD Japan got in October.

It's insulting is what it is.

@Zeebor15 that sounds really frustrating, I'm a gamer who prefers physical copies and I always prefer having the game arrive on launch day.

Having to wait an extra month when you know other people are already playing is real annoying.

@Daniel36 the writing was just abysmal in general. It's such an unbelieveably slow story with combat that is both too simple and takes forever. Not a good game.

One day i will actually sit down and play through this series. At this point it looks like by the time I start I will have all of them on the same system lol.

Wish it was sooner but now we know when it's coming. Cool beans!

@xenobladexfan And this is why send bags of expired pickles to LRG's office

Since this is chronologically the first in the Trails series I will likely make this my first entry point. I don't know if I will play all the games but I will give it a try.

Honestly, I'm good playing them as a prequel because as much as I enjoy the two arcs I'm in the process of finishing, I have no real way of telling what I do and don't know from those stories without playing them through.

Plus: U L T R A V I O L E N C E

@darkswabber No, it was never a PSP exclusive, all three games were released on PC before being ported to PSP later, with the first title coming out roughly half a year before the PSP was even on the market.
