Trails from Zero - English Review [A MUST play for all Trails and JRPG fans] 

I see this game is coming out for the Switch & I didn't even know it was already out years ago. On the website there is no gameplay & wanted to know what type of game it is. So seeing how it looks I'm still on the fence & wonder if the other trials games coming out will look like this?

Fingers crossed! Such a great series!

3.08 Its Yin not Zin... Zin is from the Sky trilogy baka. .. Hahahahahah just letting you know

Haha yup! Oops

Wish granted. ;)

2 weeks to go :D

Wow! Hello! Thanks for the comment and everything that you do! Playing through Ao right now and really can't wait for you guys to finish that up! Keep up the excellent work, and I know for a fact that there are MANY people that really appreciate what you have done.

As a stand-alone game, Azure No Kiseki was one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Quick fix, give the GeoFront a % of their profits, and it'll be perfect!

@@HellFireRPGs yup, why start from scratch when there is already something completed.

@@HellFireRPGs The big problem with that is that GeoFront are merely the editors, building on an existing (but formerly extremely rough) fan translation with some of the people involved in that having dropped off the face of the earth. In order for a commercial company to use a fan work, the fans have to officially sign over ownership of their work to the publisher since legally a publisher cannot sell something they do not own. If one of the former team members would not want to do that, then their work would have to be stripped from the project and replaced. In commercial projects, team members declare their hours so project leads know exactly who did what, which makes a fair distribution of financial compensation possible. In fan teams, where members don't keep track of that, that's not possible. I guess you could still try to negotiate a compensation distribution between a group of 19 people, but... I personally have no idea how to resolve the issue if one of the members felt the proposal was unfair to them. Aside from, again, stripping their contribution from the game and replacing it, but again, who still remembers who did what? So with a commercial adoption of the fan translation not really possible, the only way for a commercial publisher to bring this game to the west would be to do the whole thing from scratch. And Zero's script is HUUUUGE. You've noticed it yourself; a massive city (plus two villages, plus a hospital, plus two border outposts) whose NPCs all change dialogue after every plot event. It's a massive project for a game that's on the technological level of a mid-budget PSP game. Even before a fan translation was made, XSeed (who did the Sky games and Cold Steel I and II) mentioned how these factors would probably mean they'd lose money on the localization and now that a fan translation IS out there, Falcom, NISA or any other publisher will assume that a significant part of the Trails fanbase won't buy the game right out the gate, but will wait for a big discount since they've already played the game previously. Which makes it an even bigger financial loss. And that's why the game hasn't been brought over yet.

Hajimari is where the Crossbell arc concludes, and CS4 sort of sets the start of it so you're all good to go now. :)

It's SO GOOD! They're amazing!

Wait, is there an English translation patch for this? Ao No Kiseki has one, but Zero No Kiseki????

Other way around. Zero has one, but Ao doesn't. The Geofront are VERY close to releasing one for Ao

@@HellFireRPGs Wow.... CDRomance seems to have one for AO No Kiseki, but not for Zero No Kiseki :/

I got a translation patch to zero no kiseki 😁👌

Randy, because I've heard a bit about his history and want to know more!

I like Lloyd, what makes you think I don't like him? But I do think that that Josh/Estelle were more interesting, though. I think I may be half way through Azure. Loving it so far :D

@@HellFireRPGs sorry for that. I think i misunderstood you then.

Whats wrong with the playlist?

@@HellFireRPGs TitS FC video is triplicated, TitS SC video is duplicated, and ToCS is missing.

Ill fix it later. Thanks!

Bad expierience. Sadly.

Yeah hes so mysterious we dont even know who he is

@@HellFireRPGs Meaning that the assassin's name is Yin, not Zin. Zin is from Sky trilogy :)

There's been no word of it. Geofront are nearly finished with the second game, though.

@@HellFireRPGs though heard somewhere discussion why geofront won't sell they translation, and they must do it from scratch to relase game on west

I'm confused. The Geofront did Zero (the first game) and that's what I reviewed. They are currently working on Ao. Nothing official from Falcom has been announced for either.

From what I hear, the PSP translation is horrid. Geofronts is basically perfect, so there's no comparison there.

Pc version of Azure with mods is very good and comes with translation fixes its almost good as the Geofront

These two games are my favourite within in the Trails franchise

Azure is a wayyyyyy huge ooomppphhh and huge it is soo goooooddddd.

Also Cold Steel 3 is the best Cold Steel game out of the Ereboniaon arc from what has been officially being released to the west which ive played my opinion may change when i get my hands on Hajimari and Cold Steel 4

I mean, they are literal random people gathered in a secret organization. Of course they have different motives and goal's especially when GM herself let them do what they want unless a high member like Weissman give them direction told by GM to achieve. Also by Hajimari there is few Ouroboros member than it used to be like in Sky FC-SC.
