How is this going work with none of the Crossbell games localized? Not even the Liberl arc is complete yet.

Great to see more elements that confirm this. It looks like a sound plan to jump to the Sen series.

And I will be all over this if true.

I will both cry for the Crossbell games we don't have and play the Sen games we're getting.

Trophy hunters beware: The game is a pain to plat.
SC will be out before this. 3rd is probably not coming. Crossbell games aren't important for Sen 1, although they are for Sen 2... However, you could play them after Sen 2 and still get a similar effect. Hopefully someone finds a good way to release them, but it doesn't look good with the current offerings.

And people thought I was crazy when I said I thought this game had a chance of a 2015 release! Who's crazy now?!

I hope the rumors are true, I need both of the Sen games and Xanadu Next.
I do wonder if we're gettinf PC ports or it will stay Vita exclusive, which I wouldn't mind I just want them.

XSEED ?
Anyway I'm so down for Sen no Kiseki.
Anyway I'm so down for Sen no Kiseki.
It's Sen no Kiseki, the second most recent game released in Japan. It's a new story arc separate from FC/SC, although there are plenty of callbacks. In order:
Trails in the Sky
Trails in the Sky SC
Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Zero no Kiseki
Ao no Kiseki
Sen no Kiseki <-
Sen no Kiseki 2
That is surprisingly earlier than expected if it's actually coming this year. I'm personally not too eager to jump ahead in the series, even less so if we end up not getting 3rd/Zero/Ao, but I'll probably grab the Vita version anyway, just in case. Especially if it's a physical release.

There are always the Evo ports for Crossbell if XSeed is okay with some very late Vita ports. The PC ports of Zero/Ao could've been an option but Falcom only produced a JP version for Zero PC.
Seeing as you seem to be the guru for this series, do you know if any of the currently Japan-only titles have any fan translations or English guides? I believe Zero was getting a fan translation, but 3rd being empty...):
I do want to play the games, but I'm the kind of guy who wants to play all the games in the franchise. This makes such a franchise a double-bind for me.
The Evo versions are complicated because there's additional companies involved. Pyramid and Chara-Ani.

Really looking forward to playing this. Day one. I'm not a HUGE fan of the 3D graphics
Now that my Japanese is up to snuff I really need to catch up with this series. Never finished FC on PSP so I'll start again when the Vita edition releases next month. Hopefully Aeana can explain, but how come these games take so long to localise?

If that's the case, would that be as to why they partnered with TitS SC? And potentially with Namco Bandai here (considering it is says they're publishing in EU as well as that Namco Bandai has published the previous PSP titles)
I'd rather XSEED takes the time to do the series justice than to rush the releases out in order to please Falcom. Especially so when taking into account that TitS1 and 2 burnt out a couple people as it is.
However, if the listing is correct they seem to have some kind of collaboration with Namco going on, which might help them the localization process.

I'm guessing what's going to happen is SC comes out soon, Trails of Cold Steel comes out in the end of the year or early next year. Then after that, they go for Trails of Cold Steel 2. I wouldn't expect 3rd, Zero, or Ao unless SC does especially well.
If they don't please Falcom, then they'd probably lose their partnership with them. The amount of time SC has taken is basically insane, and there's no way anybody involved is pleased with that.

Isn't there also going to be a Sen no Kiseki 3?

The scripts are insanely big. FC alone dwarfs FFXII and that's not even the largest script in the series.
Kondo said they're working on a new game set in Erebonia. Whether it's actually "Sen no Kiseki 3" remains to be seen. But it isn't formally announced yet, and definitely not coming out this year.
But it is possible? Dealing with another company could be better in the end, if they can get some things that they can't with Falcom, like JP voice acting.
Anyway, I bought Zero and Ao Evo games from a gaffer, and will buy FC Evo and get all those trophies again.
Tom said himself that it's very unlikely that the Evo versions will be brought over because of the voice acting rights and all that.

Given how long it's taken to get SC out the door, how on earth is XSEED able to potentially put out Cold Steel at the end of the year? Does it have substantially less text, or has Carpe Fulgur been working on this after their work on SC concluded a while back, or...?
From what it sounds like, the actual translation of SC was finished a while back, and it was in the editing phase for the last good while, and now it's in QA. So during that time, the translators involved were not tied down.
