Fans of the classic turn-based RPG saga will be thrilled with the news that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is being remade and coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025, announced by Nihon Falcom. This remake marks the first time the game will appear on a Nintendo platform, offering players an updated version of their beloved adventure set in the Liberl Kingdom.

Key Points from the Remake

  • A full 3D recreation of the game’s world will enhance immersion with seamless transitions between fields and towns.

The plot badly needs some pruning shears taken to it; to say that it moves at a snails pace is an insult to snails. Like, why did we need an entire faux high school arc? There's plot-relevant stuff there, but they can cut most of that and the game would be better. Filler arcs in a story that's...what, ten games now? That's why this series is still obscure, despite there being a lot to like here.

If you need something to scratch that JRPG itch, you can do a lot worse, and there's a reason this series shows up on "hidden gems" list. But...damn. There's so much content and story, and a fair chunk is little better than filler.

The stuff in jenis sets up a lot of stuff way later in the series

Calling out the Jenis Academy stretch would be bold in the fandom, lol. I mostly agree with you though, I think that whole chapter was a low point for the series.

Sky SC in particular has some brutal pacing, so it'd be reassuring for the future remake if they shuffled up this game a bit.
