Board 8 > The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - September 28th in Japan

(+) Yeah! (+)

Falcom revealed the Japanese release date for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III in this week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation, and they also shared additional character info on Agate Crosner and Tita Russell as well as new battle system features. [Thanks, Hachima.]



First, here’s some info on what’s included in the first-print limited box:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III mini-original soundtrack.
Special Duties Division: Class VII SD rubber strap full set.
A special 128-page full-color art book.
Original DLC “Invitation from Thors Academy”



Agate Crosner – After the “Liberl Incident,” Agate achieved various achievements, at home and abroad, and was promoted to an A-rank Bracer. It’s been four years since the events of Trails in the Sky and Agate has grown mentally. A big mystery from Trails in the Sky will unravel in Trails of Cold Streel III. He’ll also participate in battles.



Tita Russell – Tita is now a 16-year-old girl, but her love for tinkering with machines and for Agate hasn’t changed.



Next they shared some battle system info:



Direct command – The Direct Command is a new input method, like the conventional “Ring Command” system, but made to be more simple with one-press commands . Players will get to intuitively input commands using commands that and their corresponding inputs for each button and d-pad.



Brave Order – A new system that lets characters set an “Order” (strategic instructions) without using up their turn. When a Brave Order is activated the entire party is affected by its effect for the turn. Brave Orders uses BP, which accumulates in battle.



Craft – A character’s unique skill that uses CP, which also accumulates in battle, to activate.



Style Change – Juna Crawford (pictured above) has special trait that allows her to switch between two styles. She uses a gun and baton hybrid “Gun Breaker” weapon. Juna is able to switch between “Striker Mode” and “Gunner Mode” on each of her turns.



The Legend of Heroes: Trails releases in Japan on September 28, 2017 for PlayStation 4. It’ll go for 7,800 yen plus tax.

oh ya my Tita

Now I'm wondering how the Zero translation was going. They said they expected to release soonish after Third came out.

Unsurprisingly, the "Progress Report" page on their website is completely blank. The last progress report of any sort I know of was back in February.
---

Hyped as f*** for this.Wasn't a massive fan of the first 2 Sky games but Cold Steel blew me away.Really hoping either the fan translation (as mentioned by SupremeZero) or Xseed actually get the 2 Crossbell games out in English.
---

I still need to play Cold Steel 2 but I agree I enjoyed the first game more than any of the Sky games
---

I'll be more hyped when there's an English release date but still hype. Especially because Agate/Tita. I don't think they were the most amazing characters or anything but it will still be great to see more of them.

Famitsu agrees, apparently. Supposedly it overtook FFVII remake on their most wanted lists.
---

I guess my question would be why isn't Dragon Quest 11 on top of that list
