The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III [c] is a 2017 office-playing video game developed by Japan Falcom. The game is a function of the Trails serial, itself a part of the larger The Legend of Heroes series, and serves as a direct sequel to The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Two.

Trails of Cold Steel III was released for the PlayStation 4 in Japan in September 2017 and worldwide in October 2019. Ports for Nintendo Switch and Windows were released in 2020. A straight sequel, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV, was released in 2018.

Gameplay [edit]

The gameplay of Trails of Cold Steel Three is like to the previous two Trails of Cold Steel games, being a traditional Japanese role-playing video game with turn-based battles. An emphasis was made on speeding up battles, including making transitions into boxing scenes more seamless, and being able to map out more battle commands to specific buttons rather than various menus, though battles are even so primarily menu-based.[1] The game contains a new system chosen "Brave Order" which lets players expend a new resource built up during boxing called "Brave Points "to get special furnishings such as buffs or heals.[2] The new "Break" organisation was also added, which adds a "Break Guess" bar to enemies. Attacking an enemy depletes its break gauge bar, and when fully depleted the enemy is weakened for one turn.[three]

Plot [edit]

The game is a directly sequel to the prior two Trails of Cold Steel games, picking up one twelvemonth after the events of Trails of Cold Steel Ii and several months later the Northern War between the Imperial ground forces of Erebonia and the Northern Jaegers of North Ambria, which resulted in the annexation of North Ambria. The story is centered around Rean Schwarzer, now an teacher at Thors Military machine Academy's Branch Campus, as well equally the students of the new Class Seven and the balance of his classmates from the prior two entries, exploring subjects such as the mysterious circumstances of Rean's adoption past the Schwarzer family, and what his classmates have been up to since the events of the prior games.

The new Grade Seven consists of Juna Crawford (an exchange student from Crossbell), Kurt Vander (a member of Vander family formerly guarding the Royal family), Altina Orion (a member of the Intelligence Division and younger sis of Millium Orion), later joined by Ash Carbide from Raquel (whom later revealed to be an orphan of Hamel), and Musse Egret (a noble young lady who is actually the heir of house Cayenne).

While teaching his students, Rean is ordered by the Regal authorities to resolve numerous conflicts arising all across Erebonia (Mainly caused by Ouroboros, who are trying to 'retake the Phantasmal Blaze Plan', stolen from them by Chancellor Osborne in the previous game'due south finale) every bit part of the campus's field exercises, assisted by his former classmates of the onetime Class Seven. They learn more about the origins of the Divine Knights, that they are the fragments of the Groovy Ane, a being created when the Sept-Terrions of Burn and World fused into one after an intense battle between the two. The Kin of Fire and Kin of World worked together to contain the unstable Neat One, giving nascence to the seven Divine Knights, but they were unable to contain its expletive, which influenced Erebonia for many centuries, making the people of the empire to go greedy and violent, leading to tragedies such as the Set on of the Dark Dragon, the Dark Ages, the State of war of the Lions, the Hamel tragedy, the Hundred Days War with Liberl, the annexation of Crossbell and the Northern War. The groups later changed their names; the Kin of Burn down condign the Witches of the Hexen Clan, and the Kin of Earth becoming the Gnomes, and the latter eventually cutting ties with the former.

Rean also learns of his origins, during his time as a brigadier general in the army, Osborne rose up against the officers who were setting up the Hamel tragedy to start a war with Liberl, in response they set his house ablaze, killed his wife and mortally wounded his son, Osborne gave his heart to Rean to relieve him and later on left him to the Schwarzer's care.

During a party in the Majestic palace, Ash Carbide who is being manipulated past the expletive, assassinates the emperor, this leads Rean and both generations of Class VII to realize that Ouroboros, the Gnomes, and Chancellor Osborne are plotting to unleash the curse of the Great I and start the Great Twilight, an outcome that heralds the return of the Cracking Ane and the terminate of the world. The members of Class VII resolve to finish them, but during the battle with Osborne's forces, Millium sacrifices her life to protect Rean and her sister Altina. Seeing Millium die causes Rean to lose control of his Spirit Unification power, fly into a rage, and slay the "Nameless Ane," a fauna that contained the ability of the Great One'southward curse. The death of the Nameless One releases the curse across Erebonia, beginning the Great Twilight, and the end of the globe. Afterwards, all of the present Awakeners, including Osborne himself summon their Divine knights and restrain the Ashen Knight.

Development and release [edit]

Intentions to create a tertiary Trails of Cold Steel game were announced as early as December 2015, at Nihon Falcom'due south 2015 shareholder'due south meeting.[iv] Initial planning began in early 2016, though the development team was divided on which platforms the game should release for.[5] On one hand, the PlayStation Vita was preferred, due to its larger installed base in Nihon, and prior entries in the series being released at that place. However, the team likewise wanted to consider using the much more than powerful PlayStation 4, which would profoundly help with the game's scope.[half-dozen] Full-scale development began around mid-2016.[5] Like the previous Trails of Cold Steel entries, it was developed using the PhyreEngine game engine.[seven] The game was officially revealed in December 2016.[8] [ix] Unlike the previous ii entries, no Vita or PlayStation 3 versions were developed.[10] It was mentioned in the shareholder's meeting that a deciding factor in developing the game for the PS4 was to help ensure higher international sales for the game every bit the PS4 had a much larger userbase in virtually countries exterior of Japan at the fourth dimension.[10] [11] [12] This premise was reiterated by Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo:

"Foreign sales have reached a point with both the Trails and Ys serial and where we tin can't ignore them from a development angle anymore. Ys: Memories of Celceta, for case, sold more exterior of Japan than it did inside of Japan. Because Vita has kind of been on the refuse for a while outside of Japan, and because the PS4 userbase is pretty established elsewhere, nosotros have begun shifting toward PS4 development".[12]

The Japanese release was initially scheduled for Q3 2017 for the PlayStation 4.[13] It was released in Japan for the PlayStation four on September 28, 2017.[14] Localization into English and French was handled past NIS America rather than Xseed Games, who localized the first two Trails of Common cold Steel games.[15] The announcement that NIS America was taking over acquired some concern amongst fans, due to the bug with the initial localization of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana.[xvi] Initially set for a September 2019 release for PS4 in N America and Europe, it was after delayed to October 22.[17] [eighteen] [xix] A Nintendo Switch port by Engine Software was released in Japan on March nineteen 2020;[20] [21] information technology was released in North America and Europe on June 30, 2020, and in Oceania on July 7.[22] A Microsoft Windows port by Engine Software and PH3 Games was released worldwide on March 23, 2020.[23] A Stadia version was released on April ane, 2021.[24]

Reception [edit]

After the positive reception of the first ii Trails of Common cold Steel games, journalists were more often than not enthusiastic for the prospect of a tertiary entry, though many lamented the lack of a Vita version.[viii] [10] [33] [13]

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Iii received "generally favorable" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.[25] [26] Reviewing the North American release, Nintendo Life chosen it an "fantabulous addition to the series", although they said information technology had slow pacing at times.[34] NintendoWire praised the "naturally brilliant" soundtrack, but did say it wasn't the easiest game for those unfamiliar with the storylines in prior games.[35] Frontline Gaming Japan praised the "strong narrative and exhaustive worldbuilding", every bit well every bit a "fun battle system" and payoff for long-term fans. They criticized the dated graphics and thought previous soundtracks in the series were stronger.[36]

Sales [edit]

Trails of Common cold Steel III debuted as the best-selling game in its week of release in Japan, selling 87,261 copies.[37] This was a significant drop from the 151,781 units Cold Steel II had sold in its first week.[38] Media Create attributed this decline to the lack of a PlayStation Vita version.[39] Despite this, Dengeki 's sales reports nevertheless estimated that approximately lxxx% of the game'southward concrete stock was sold at launch,[40] and Falcom announced that the game had the highest digital game sales in the series, as of October 2017.[41]
