JP Vita | The Legend of Heroes: Sora no Kiseki the 3rd - Evolution | Falcom | Final game in the Liberl arc albeit with a different protagonist; plays like the previous games; Evolution version adds new artwork/scenarios |
PS3 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel | Falcom | Beginning of another major arc in the Trails series, adds co-op link attacks to combat, structure is based in a school-type environment |
PS3 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II | Falcom | Takes place soon after the first game - basically required playing if you liked the first one |
PS4 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero | Falcom | A port of a port of the first game in the Crossbell Arc of the series, long thought to forever remain unlocalized (until now) |
PS4 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel | Falcom | Tons of QoL changes; includes all DLC, more English dialogue, JP audio, and a turbo mode |
PS4 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II | Falcom | Tons of QoL changes; includes all DLC, more English dialogue, JP audio, and a turbo mode |
PS4 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III | Falcom | Ties together plot threads from the Sky trilogy and Crossbell duology as well as continuing the Cold Steel plot; naturally a long game, combat mostly unchanged from I and II |
PS4 | The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV | Falcom | Absolutely requires playing all other Trails games prior to this one; has a very large (and arguably unwieldy) cast of characters, plays like its predecessor |
PSP | The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch | Microvision/Falcom | First game in the Gagharv trilogy, despite western release order; gameplay is still very traditional, arguably bland, continues the pet system from the previous game |
PSP | The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean | Microvision/Falcom | Last in the Gagharv trilogy, but chronologically between the other two; still linear but allows for importing of data from the previous two games |
PSP | The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion | Microvision/Falcom | Second game in the Gagharv trilogy, despite western release order; run-of-the-mill turn-based gameplay and an arbitrary pet system |
PSP | The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky | Falcom | The 6th Legend of Heroes game/first Trails game, starts an interweaving storyline, combat is turn-based but offers lots of attack options, NPCs react to the story dynamically |
PSP | The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (DL only) | Falcom | Immediate sequel to the first game, plot-heavy with compelling characters, gameplay similar to the first but adds combination attacks |
