Board 8 > questions about the trails in the sky series

(+) Yeah! (+)

It may not have been part of the original plan, but it's definitely a major arc.

Leon is correct about the Crossbell arc according to an interview with Kondo that I don't have readily available but can try to find when I get home. (Though when they decided to do it at all, I think they treated it on sort of "equal standing" with the other arcs, though that's just my speculation)

That being said, I don't think he's right about the arc names necessarily being transportation themed because in addition to Crossbell, I believe the Japanese title for the Cold Steel arc isn't related to transportation and the railroad connection only came up in the localized title.

I mean you can include it in the localized title either way

I'm just saying I want the Calvard arc to be called Trails from the Road

Trails of Cold Steel's Japanese name is Sen no Kiseki. "Sen", literally translated, is the glint of light off a sword blade being drawn, but that wouldn't exactly fit well on the title screen... Some people fan-translated it as "Trails in the Flash" or "Trails of a Flash", but XSEED and Falcom opted for Cold Steel instead.
