Where other games may have an epilogue serve no longer than a chapter or even some lengthy cutscene, Nihon Falcom instead proceed to make this as crammed and content-rich a turn-based RPG as any of their other prior releases. But in a slightly comical and admittedly bizarre way, it’s rather fitting that a game like Trails into Reverie - the next, foll0w-up RPG to succeed 2020’s Trails of Cold Steel IV, taking place five months after that game’s close - can pitch itself as an “epilogue” to both the Crossbell and Erebonia arcs alike.

Not that we need any more examples to highlight just how dense with storytelling and world-building this series has been known for. One that saw the in-game, fictional continent of Zemuria brought to the brink of - but fortunately avoiding - utter ruin. A steady stream of releases that in 2020 culminated in one almighty crossover of a conclusion. “Three more arcs currently planned” three more to add to the already-existent arcs focusing on the events and characters of fictional nations Liberl, Crossbell and Erebonia alike.

Even if such a claim is based on little more than a four-year old, single-sentence response from developer Nihon Falcom’s own president Toshihiro Kondo when asked of the prospect of future arcs in the series, post-Cold Steel. It may surprise you to know, but what if I were to tell you that we’re only around half-way through what constitutes the entirety of The Legend of Heroes’ Trails sub-series of games? Yes, only half-way.
