The Legend Of Heroes: Trails Into Reverie

All trails lead to the end

Nihon Falcom fans have learned to be patient over the years, so for an epilogue to Trails Of Cold Steel’s Erebonia arc to be released almost three years after the last entry isn’t that unusual. The wait is, however, justified because Trails Into Reverie isn’t just drawing a line under Rean Schwarzer and Class VII’s tale, it’s also completing the Crossbell arc, which has only been possible since those games were belatedly localised over the past year.

When you think over the past six games, the landlocked region of Crossbell has always been at the heart of the story as it encounters one last obstacle in its fight for independence, which means it’s impossible to conclude the saga without police detective Lloyd Bannings back on duty.

For fans who’ve finally been able to experience the Crossbell arc with its PSP-era pixel-art visuals over the last 12 months, seeing both the SSS members and the sights of Crossbell City in full 3D will be eye-opening, Lloyd’s path presented on a par with that of his Erebonian counterpart.
