The logo for The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki, the 10th game in the franchise. Previous systems found in the Trails of Cold Steel franchise, such as Combat Links or Brave Orders, will not make a reappearance, though Kondo states that a new system has taken their place that he states is “quite amazing.” Kondo also emphasises that ninety percent of the cast of The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki will be entirely new, with the remaining amount being characters that are highly anticipated by fans.Ĭombat will be seamless from movement to battle, with commands (player inputs) shifting from pausing mid-battle into real time with little delay. The content in the game will equal the content found in a Trails of Cold Steel title, with a distinct focus on reducing the roster of playable characters to a tighter total amount, due to the nature of the protagonists’ work prohibiting a large character count.
Kondo emphasised that the game engine that The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki is being developed in is entirely new, promising dramatic improvements for character modeling, with character motion provoking a different feeling than has previously been seen within the Trails series. A new system, ‘Alignment Flame,’ will allow the player to change aspects of the story, on a three-tiered scale of ‘Lawful,’ ‘Grey,’ or ‘Chaotic’ through their actions and choices, though it will not change the core events that will play out in the story itself.Ī screenshot of some of the key cast from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV, the 9th game in the franchise.
The story itself will be focused on the ‘grey zone’ of society, with the characters representing that in terms of profession and theme: a detective, a bounty hunter, and negotiator, with more to be revealed. Kondo also commented that Calvard feels a little smaller when compared to Erebonia, the setting of the The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel arc, though the scale of the map will most likely equal it in terms of lateral size. Keystone influences for Calvard’s culture are a fusion of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
