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.
Exactly and that's for example part of the reason why we never got those evolution versions of the Trails games in the west too many third party's who worked on those games where involved and licensing became a nightmare.
The end of a saga approaches with Trails of Cold Steel IV! With the nation on the brink of war and their greatest light now missing, heroes from far and wide must stand together in the face of emerging threats. The fight for a brighter future will be decided here!
Coming first to PS4 in Fall 2020, NSW and PC in 2021.
And one that is well ported though if things go well I assume Durante and his studio (DP3?) will be handling it and that should avoid most technical issues.
Hmm well it'll be fun seeing the end of the Cold Steel arc and this current saga and for Ys well I'm still partial to the early games but the party ones and also Ys8 had their charm still keeping the core formula and building around it....which granted arrive at a new place mostly after some item draining accident and kill a god like being is a simple but working formula.
Something winged ones, something emelas but now mostly just Dogi and Adol and a lot of love interests being left behind as the next adventure begins!
(Plus a less than direct path from game to game for the timeline but as it's almost fully stand-alone it barely matters.)
Rean the head-patter and Adol the red and friends ha ha.
Well Falcom is a older studio so they have a few other franchises but I have no real idea what's in development let alone what will end up being localized and when.
2 - 3 years from the original JP release isn't bad though.
Plus the size of the localization and what not in these Trails games being a effort to get translated since there's so much side dialogue and world building and character development.
(With some extra fan service thrown in. )
EDIT: Well let's get started on Cold Steel 3 so far yeah it's another academy...
As the shadow of war continues to loom over Erebonia, a devastated Class VII desperately clings to the dying embers of hope. But despite the trials ahead, they must rally together and fight on. The fate of the empire rests on their shoulders!
Quote:
The students of Class VII will need all the strength and determination they can muster to face the imminent threats ahead. Utilize unique Arts and Crafts, cunning tactics, and powerful team attacks to overwhelm the enemy!
Coming October 27, 2020 to PS4, and to NSW and PC in 2021.
