Legend Of Heroes Trails in The Sky

Well this is going to be my first time reviewing a game, even dough this game have an anime version but I prefer the game more. Lets save the anime for another time. Legends of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (eiyu densetsu, sora no kiseki) is a turn based battle RPG. It is the forth trilogy of the Legends of Heroes series and the new begining of the Trails in the Sky trilogy. The game was developed by Nihon Falcom industry, published also by Nihon Falcom industry with Xseed Games and Ghostlight. The game was released firstly for Microsoft PC in Japan on June 24, 2004. So this game is actually pretty old. The PlayStation Portable was able to play this game since it was ported in Japan on October 28, 2006, retitled Eiyū Densetsu: Sora no Kiseki FC, which included voice acting during battles.

The story took place in kingdom named Liberl, 10 years after the great invasion of the Erebonian Empire from the north. Currently it is being governed by the old queen Alicia II and restored back to its peaceful state before the war.

The main character is Estelle Bright, daughter of Cassius Bright who is a legend within the kingdom. During the great war, Erebonian managed to break their way through to the capital city. Here, under the direction and counter-attack planned by Cassius, Liberl launched a retaliation that forced the opponent to retreat back to the borders within a few weeks. After the war, Cassius gave up his sword and left the army, joining the Bracer's guild and enhancing it to its glory state and was given the S ranking.

One night, Cassius went home bringing a boy. The boy's name is Joshua and Cassius decides to adopt him as his son. The story begins with Estelle and Joshua's journey as junior Bracers completing the guild's normal quests and eventually leading them into exploration of the ancient facilities in the Liberl Kingdom... and it turns out that the manager of the army was just being used by a mastermind who's an adept at controlling people's minds. This also leads on to the second story, with Joshua's past unveiling in the ending.

The game can be played in PC and PSP. Also Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC is their first season in their trilogy. Currently they have 3 seasons of the game until the Third chapter and a spin off, from the Trails in the Sky, entitled Eiyu Densetsu: Zero no Kiseki. I'll review that on another time. Sadly only the first chapter of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky that has been translated into English. I hope in the near future, all of their sequel will be translated too.


This game is really enjoyable and it have a really good story plus their soundtrack is just awesome. Its just marvelous and you really need to play this game. Now see their opening trailer posted by The1UPNetwork.

Stay tuned for the review on their second chapter!
