This is huge. Is it PC only?

Why are we waiting on third party translations and releases? Its pretty obvious that the west wants ALL of the Trails games. Ive literally bought 1 and 2 on multiple systems. Why wont they just do the smart thing and give them to us?

Have they figured out how we can legally purchase Ao? I played it already through other means but I really liked Geofront's translations for Zero. I was saving my NG+ playthrough for the Geofront patch.

Well they're usually behind on translations iirc since we don't get simultaneous releases of the newer games, plus I'm not sure if their older stuff is worth doing it in their eyes sales wise.

Everyone wanting an official translation, I'll be honest, the Geofront is every bit as good as a Nisa official localization would be.

I've played the crossbell games in Japanese and I played Zero with the Geofront localization after. Its a very good localization on par with anything I've seen from Nisa.

I'll probably buy it and patch it, but I won't be playing it since I played the existing translation last year.

NISA kinda sucks at translating though. Geofront is on par with XSEED's translations of Sky 1, 2, 3 and CS1 and 2.

Sure. I compared it to Nisa though because if an official localization happens, it will most likely be Nisa doing it. Not that I think its necessary, anyone wanting to play these games will likely have already played the Geofront versions by then and the official translation won't be that much better if at all.

Anyway, anyone holding out for official localization, please don't. Geofronts translations are very good and Ao is the best game in this series of incredible games. I'll be checking it out once the team over on gbatemp ports it to the vita (Zero geofront is already on Vita).

Now is as good a time as any. If you loved Sky, you will adore Crossbell.

It's crazy how they never translated the Crossbells games and then made them a big part of the story later down the line.

It's like telling someone to read the Harry Potter series and then telling them they can only read the first two and last two books.

What do you mean down the line? Zero was important from the start considering Estelle and Joshua tell you in 3rd they're in Crossbell and Ao sets up Cold Steel.

Geofront said when they finished Zero they're not interested in selling their translation to anyone.

Geofront versions are actually better than the official ones. They fix a bunch of issues and implement new features.

Did you miss treasure chest messages in Cold Steel? Cause the Geofront sure did and every single chest has a message in Crossbell!

I mean, this should be expected. The legality of selling an unofficial translation for a company to use as an official translation is grey at best and Geofront likely doesnt want anything to do with that.

I just checked and didnt see it, though.

I'm very excited for this. Got through the Sky trilogy in the last 6 months (although I initially started the first game in 2019 but with the slow start I didn't get invested until going back to it during chapter 2). Now I'm 46 hours into Geofront Zero and loving it. Hopefully Azure will be out right in time for me to jump straight into it

Didn't Falcom say back when the PS4 releases happened in Japan that part of the reason is to help an English release happen? Also the Steam release of them is happening in China and Korea later on this year. NIS could have the Japanese license like they have Ys 8's Switch license in Japan. It seems likely to me that official English release is a matter of when, not if.

Weird, because in the recent Q and A video the main translator (for Ao/Azure) said most of them would be overjoyed to have their translation used in the official English version, they just don't think it's likely to happen due to all the legal issues.

Cause iirc Falcom does not own the PC ports of the games, and only owns the handheld versions and rather localize the game on a more popular platform, so they created the PS4 versions and probably maybe a PC version as well for the sole purpose of getting localized.

Maybe they changed their mind then because they definitely said t after Zero.
