The game lulls you into a false sense of camaraderie and youthful positivity, before dropping the ground beneath Class VII with the death of Crow and the sheer meaninglessness of the war. The Trails games have always been very back heavy in terms of meaningful plot and resolution, but CS2 almost falls into the opposite problem. I know some people consider CS2 the most disappointing game in the series, and while I don't disagree, that label is less because it's inherently a bad game and more that it struggles to balance its overall design with its story structure. I'm not sure how likely this is just because there wasn't a crossbell summary on the JP version of CS3, but that's something that might be added with the localization. While a summary isn't really a good alternative to actually playing the games, there is the possibility that a summary of Crossbell is on the CS3 disk. I know you said you want to play an official localization, but the Geofront translation which is probably releasing early next year looks pretty good from all the screenshots they've shown, and the translation for Ao, while not perfect, is ok. If you do decide to just play Sky, and not play CS1/2, I'd recommend you stop at SC, unless you don't mind playing 3rd which heavily focuses on adding new lore, and forshadowing future arcs. I imagine whatever Falcom is planning for Crossbell will likely happen in Japan before they release the first game in the Calvard arc, which is at least 3 years away. With CS4 likely coming next year in the west, I wouldn't expect Crossbell until after CS4. Keep in mind that the hope is, Falcom re-releases Crossbell in Japan and hopefully either NISA or someone else picks them up to localize. While Falcom has expressed that they want to bring Crossbell to the west, and Kondo himself has said in the Easy Allies interview that the studio is currently in the very early stages on planning to bring Crossbell to modern consoles you are likely still going to be waiting a long time. You could play Sky, and then from there play CS1/2 and then wait for Crossbell, just be aware that you are likely going to be waiting a good while. Think of CS3/4 as the Infinity War of the series. At the same time, Kondo confirmed to shareholders that Switch releases would happen "depending on the title.Click to shrink.For CS1/2 and Crossbell it's largely references to the events of Sky, but from what I've heard from everyone who has played CS3/4 you absolutely need to know everything that has happened in Sky and Crossbell. Last year, Kondo told USgamer that Falcom believed most of its userbase were PlayStation players and it lacked "the knowhow to really develop for Switch." Toward the end of the last year, Falcom confirmed that The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3 would be coming to Nintendo's platform in Spring 2020, a release window that was delayed to June 30, 2020. One thing not mentioned was the Nintendo Switch. Kondo explained that North America and Europe are now "extremely important" to Falcom, so there's hope that the studio will continue its streak of localized releases. I think that releasing on PlayStation 4 will lead to an opportunity to release these games in North America and Europe," said Kondo. "I very much regret that we were unable to release Zero and Ao. Kondo also said that the upcoming PlayStation 4 remasters of Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki open the door to those games having Western releases. Nayuta‘s gameplay is also extremely well received, so I think it would be a waste to bury it as a PSP-only title," said Kondo. Personally, I’d like to recreate everything in 3D. "Both users who own modern consoles and platform holders often request Trails in the Sky, so I have some homework to do.
