NISA Announce The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III for NA/EU

https://twitter.com/NISAmerica/status/1085899542262894593

Preparing this thread in advance, so I apologize as official PR is added as it comes in. I was told in advance along with a few pieces of info, during a visit to NISA HQ on Tuesday.

Localization: "a [big part of our panel] will be about who's returning - specifically, who we've recruited to help us contextualize, translate, and localize the title" NISA bringing on talent with experience on the series, naming names during their panel on Friday.

Crossbell: "part of a longer discussion" with Falcom.

Platforms: Only PS4 was mentioned during my visit.



EDIT: Hmm PS4 exclusive so far huh.

Quote:

When it seems as if peace has finally settled over the empire of Erebonia, the embers of war stir anew just a mere year-and-a-half later in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III coming exclusively to PlayStation®4 in Fall 2019!

This installment welcomes the return of certain English localization staff that have worked on previous titles in the series. Catch the excitement in the blood-pumping Announcement Trailer, and learn more about the heart we're pouring into this next chapter at our PAX South panel "JPN → USA : Danganronpa, Touhou, and Beyond" on January 18, 2019 at 11:00 AM CST, or watch it here!

Meet a new Class VII led by the "Ashen Chevalier" Rean Schwarzer, now a newly minted instructor at Thors Branch Campus. The epic story continues as the cast travels the Empire's recently acquired lands, only to find themselves ensnared in a devious plot that could plunge them into another war, or an even bigger calamity. New features, such as the "Break System," bring greater possibilities to combat, while familiar faces of friend and foe make their appearance!

The bonds shared between the new and old Class VII will be tested... Will this be the beginning of the end? See what fate holds for all in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III for PlayStation®4 in Fall 2019!



EDIT: Hmm Trials of Cold Steel, well it's nice to see the typos starting already ha ha.
Unless they actually changed it but eh we'll see.

oh yeah and if they try to feed you a "but we got the old loc team to help!" excuse, what i've heard is that they TECHNICALLY did, but it's very much a too-little-too-late scenario, so expect the base translation (esp the main story) to be undermined by danganronpa-quality mistls



Sweet, off to a great start I see. Well we'll know what state the PS4 version is in when it launches and from work on Disgaea 5 and Ys8 and how quickly those seem to have been dropped we already know how the PC port is going to end up heh unfortunately but well things can change.

Then again it's NISA so expectations are a bit ~ so well we'll see how this ends up.

Hands down the most epic game series ever created. Action, mystery, politics, intrigue in spades. I truly recommend it to anyone who have patience for it. Dont be tricked by the first game which seems like a very vanilla jrpg experience. The series evolves and becomes a magificent interconnected saga which i've never seen the likes of. Everything seems planned from the beginning, which makes late reveals from questions early in the saga feel very rewarding.

I will though say that trails of cold steel have a weak protagonist, but looking past that snd the persona like social system, its very epic indeed.

Yeah Cold Steel is pretty great as far as modern Kiseki goes but it doesn't really hold a candle compared to Zero/Ao which are hands down the best games in the whole franchise or even FC/SC.
Fan translation of Zero should be out any day now if Geofront finally get their shit together and Ao allrdy has a patch with Flames edit which is pretty good.

Just finished 3. Honestly just wait for 4. Worst cliffhanger i've ever encountered. Worst by being so interesting that the wait will be a serious pain

It's funny how usually there's a team behind ports, but now it's just fucking Durante, the guy is a machine. I remember how after DSfix every time there was a jap game with a shitty port the people called for Durante, and more often than not he actually fixed the ports within days. :flower:

On two separate occasions where the originally contracted team had essentially stated it was impossible to increase the performance any further, Peter was able to optimize the titles significantly with barely any support or additional tools.


Go Durante!

Clouded Leopard Entertainment will release The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ for PC via Steam with Japanese voice-overs and Traditional Chinese and Korean subtitles, the company announced.

The company will also release The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III for PC via Steam with the same language options.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II are both already available for PC via Steam in English. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III is due out on March 23. This is the first announcement of a PC port for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~. An English localization has yet to be announced.

Watch a trailer for Clouded Leopard Entertainment’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series PC ports below.



That was unexpected.

https://www.gematsu.com/2020/02/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel-iv-the-end-of-saga-coming-to-pc-with-traditional-chinese-and-korean-subtitles

So Chinese and Korean localization for Cold Steel IV and then updates for Cold Steel 1 - 3 also, neat.


Powerful announcement too for CS IV and all that but kinda starting in the wrong end of the series for how connected this kinda is.

Although then Nihom Falcom themselves outed some crossover game *starting* with the very ending info to Cold Steel right in the press announcement as I recall. Very Happy

So hopefully they get localised *and* come to PC at some point Very Happy

Hmm is that so, would have expected them to collaborate with and use the existing PC code and localize from that work but then I saw the comments also noted these were the "Kai" versions of Cold Steel 1 and 2 so updated PS4 versions.

Not sure what that means for Cold Steel though I do know the by now somewhat old Trails in the Sky (TitS!) used some new artwork and other enhancements although the err "rounded" or more modernized character art wasn't to everyone's liking. Very Happy
(Understandably though, Rean is the chronic headpatter teenage high school protagonist of sorts, Estelle hits stuff with a big stick and says she's going to hit stuff with a big stick heh.)

EDIT: Heh so the PS4 Kai version offers high resolution display support and fast forward or turbo speed support wonder where that idea came from. Very Happy
(Well I did hear something on how I think Durante mentioning that Falcom were fond of that latter addition.)



EDIT: And yeah the two Crossbell games would fill in the gaps pretty nicely whenever those get handled which I assume the remakes of will allow for some more favorable deals for getting them ported and released word-wide via additional studios as Falcom focuses mostly on the PS4 with interest also in the Switch from memory though as a smaller studio they're working with others to get it ported on additional platforms.

They simply can't use the existing ports without licensing them from Xseed/NISA/Durante's company and this is pretty complicated since they are all third party's licensing from Falcom.

For Xseed/Nisa there is nothing in a deal like that and the Chinese company is probably not interested anyway since labor is so cheap and licensing existing ports would cost way more for them then paying a few ppl there to build new ones.

Also the ports are by far the least problem with these games, localization itself is the biggest hurdle since they all have gigantic complicated scripts.

Oh I was under the impression Falcom was notorious for being very strict and having ownership and final say on these things but I suppose it wouldn't quite apply to everything and depending on what deals are made there might be some restrictions or changes though it's probably also down to monetary reasons as well and perhaps overall reputation and business relationships.

But yeah the script size itself is something like a few novel sized books in length per game since not only is the main story pretty dialogue heavy all the NPC's constantly change up their responses after just about every major event and even with earlier areas no longer accessible that's still a lot of characters and resulting text to cover.

Still only partway through the entire story too as I remember with this closing the Erebonia arc and there's some 40% left of just the map that's not been explored and whatever many titles they intend to try and make for the entire Trails storyline and possibly some spin-offs and remakes of the older titles.
(Even more dedicated fans would probably have some trouble with how this has spanned over a decade already and is still connected into the earlier games for some events.)
