Introducing people, places, ideas, events and lore that rival in complexity those of even the most highly-regarded fantasy epics in literature, the care and attention given to each and every NPC, location and historical in-game event is what sets The Legend of Heroes: Trails Series apart from its contemporaries. Hailed as one of the largest, longest and most meticulously detailed turn-based party JRPG series of all time, the ongoing Trails saga has quickly become Ys developer Nihon Falcom's most popular and best-selling franchise in their entire 35+ year history. Trails games are text-heavy story RPGs with a strong focus on characters, writing, dialogue, and world-building. These games are made by Nihon Falcom and are localized into English by XSEED Games. The Trails Series is a highly interconnected saga of RPG games which take place on the continent of Zemuria and tell an overarching and continuous main story. The Trails Series is a sub-series of another RPG franchise called The Legend of Heroes. The first game in the Trails Series is Trails in the Sky. To answer the question in this thread: Trails in the Sky the 3rd is the third game in the Trails Series as well as the final entry in the Trails in the Sky Trilogy.

With the most up to date translations, and even some features that are exclusive to this PC release, this the definitive version!
This version has added features from the PSP port and Non-English PS3 port that were not in its original PC release. This is a PC game developed by Falcom and localized by XSEED. It is a slow-paced game with large amounts of text and has a focus on worldbuilding, lore, and dialogue. I’ll start with the basics: This is a story-heavy, character-driven, turn-based party RPG. As someone who has played though this saga in the order it was localized, I’m making this thread to answer some of the questions new players may ask about the franchise as well as to inform players as to what they can expect from this entry. It is also the 3rd and final entry in the Trails in the Sky Trilogy. It is the 3rd game in the ongoing Trails Series of RPGs.

It is my hope that this will provide all the information needed for a newcomer to decide if this game is for them. If you find this post useful, feel free to link it if someone asks about the game.
