The Legend of Heroes franchise has had a rocky localization history, but in recent years, XSEED’s commitment to bringing over its more robust titles has led it to a well-deserved place in Western JRPG fans’ hearts. While the Trails in the Sky games are more of a 2D throwback at this point, Trails of Cold Steel attempts to be more modern while retaining that scope and character that make a game a Trails game. It’s a tough task, but those who put the time into Cold Steel will once again be craving more by the time the adventure concludes.
