Both TitS games were put on sale on EU PSN today

FC 50% off -> 14.99€
SC 33% off -> 17.99€

Please buy them

If you want some good jRPGs for your Vita or PSP even, get these games, they are well worth their price of admission.

Note that in some store regions the discounts might be slightly different as you can see below

Love me some TitS.

So, this is one of those where it's stupid to just get the first chapter, right? They're a single story?

You'll probably die inside if you don't start SC immediately after finishing FC.

Just get both now.

Lapidus' Beard · Mar 11, 2016

This is some perfect timing, I just completed the first one a week ago.

Well the plots are connected, really just dive in at that price, the translation is really really good and enough to keep you entertained throughout the 30ish hour playthroughs-

Benzychenz · Mar 11, 2016

I started FC on PSP but only got to chapter 2 or so, so maybe I'll buy them both here and restart it on Vita.

VulpX · Mar 11, 2016

Thanks, finally bought SC!

three_muffins · Mar 11, 2016

I have been waiting for a sale. You shall be mine TitS. Both of you.

MulderYuffie · Mar 11, 2016

I shouldn't have to tell you guys this but come on get these they are fantastic.

redcrayon · Mar 11, 2016

Can't recommend these games enough as someone who was somewhat jaded with JRPGs before playing TitS. Good characters, NPCs that each has a place and a job in the gameworld, and a real sense of fun and adventure. The world-building reminds me of PSOne-era classics like Suikoden and Arc the Lad II.

OniBaka · Mar 11, 2016

Hell yeah, been waiting for SC to come down in price.

Dami3N · Mar 11, 2016

People have told me, that if I love Suikoden 1+2, I would love trails in the sky.

so... is this all of the games in this part of the series?
Dont want to buy them, only to find, that I need another consol, or have to play on pc..

.. remake this shit with trophys, and I would not care, and I would buy them whitout asking

There are plenty more games in the series which are connected in an overarching plot and the world they are in, but the story of Trails in the Sky is started and finished in those two games.

Here's an overview

Despite all the recommendations I couldn't really get in to FC, it starts off way too slowly.

Some of the best games of all time start slow, just go with the flow and just appreciate the localization :3

hiro4 · Mar 11, 2016

Can anyone confirm if SC is compatible with the Vita TV?

FC is compatible going of on the store page, and I'm quite sure SC will be too, but a confirmation will be nice.

Mozendo · Mar 11, 2016

What part did you stop at?
For me the game got picked up after the end of chapter 1, slowed down a bit on chapter 3, and picked up full force on chapter 4.

These two games start and finish both a story arc and those of it's main characters (and most of the secondary ones), you don't need to play anything else. Later games make occasional vague references to stuff that happens in them, but the end of SC is a great 'jumping off' point if you want to walk away.

witchedwiz · Mar 11, 2016

buying this when i get home, i guess

Dwight Schrute · Mar 11, 2016

Are those needed before playing Trails of Cold Steel ?

Acquiescence · Mar 11, 2016

That sale is totally TitS. Tempting. I've never played a game in this series before, but I want to. Trouble is finding the time to do it.

YianGaruga · Mar 11, 2016

JonStark said:

No. You can start with either Trails in the Sky or Cold Steel.

Based on how I've seen you post over time and the games you've liked, I have no doubt you will like these. I highly recommend it. Time permitting of course.

JonStark said:

Technically not really needed. Cold Steel was designed as an entry point for newcomers. However I strongly recommend you do play them first since there will be some ties to the overarching story, especially with Cold Steel II.

Besides they're really good games that I think are better than Cold Steel anyway. Especially Sky part 2/SC. The only real problem with Sky FC is that it can start really slowly for some before it ramps up, but if anything Cold Steel has the same problem only amplifieed.

Yeah, the (Dutch, right?) store is a bit vague about it. I also can't buy it directly from the playstation TV store. But I'm checking it out when I get home from work in an hour or two. I'll let you know.

Yes Dutch store! Thank you

The fact that you can't buy it directly from the vita tv store is kinda worrying.

Though FF8 and FF9 were said to be incompatible yet they work so I'm hopeful!

I didn't get very far, I finished the first dungeon (a tower?) and got to the second town before I started getting distracted by other games. I typically have no problems playing JRPG, just this one didn't do it for me.

Thud · Mar 11, 2016

Tizoc on the case again.

It's a long investment and FC in particular has a real slow climb to it, but man these games are incredible.

When you have the time, definitely jump into them.

NA too? Hot dog.

That's what I wanted lol. There's a PC thread now as well. Both threads should be merged with your title

Kresnik258 · Mar 11, 2016

Gonna buy Sc when I get home

Glix · Mar 11, 2016

I gotta restart FC. I played like 15 hours of it two years ago, no way I'm gonna remember anything.

It's so daunting tho.

alexein · Mar 11, 2016

Thanks for the heads up.
i was waiting for a sale on the first one, i got trails of cold steel last month.
But i'm gonna buy these 2 right now

stalker · Mar 11, 2016

Wait, SC is on EU PSN? I did not follow the release news but I cannot find it on the Vita storefront (I am in Spain if that is relevant).

E_Darkness · Mar 11, 2016

It costs twice as much to buy on EU PSN than it does to get it on Steam.

I've still got too many RPGs to play that I haven't even touched, so maybe next sale. But I hear so many good things about this series I do want to get to it at some point.

Edit: I just saw that the 3rd one isn't coming to PSP/Vita. Guess I'll buy the much cheaper PC version.

Augemitbutter · Mar 11, 2016

buy them all.

You might have a problem with the spelling. I know when it released last year I couldn't find it due to a spelling mistake where they didn't put a space after the ':' so it became one massive word. Try checking manually via the PSP section or searching for Legend of Heroes instead of Trails in the Sky

stalker · Mar 11, 2016

Thanks I will check again tonight. I am willing to give them my money!

notaskwid · Mar 11, 2016

Pretty expensive for psp games.

Sithlord77 · Mar 11, 2016

Do they both work with PS TV?
