The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki – Farewell O Zemuria details Trails of Cold Steel series returning characters
Falcom has released new information and screenshots for The Legend of Heroes: Kai no Kiseki – Farewell, O Zemuria introducing The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series returning chara…

I know nothing of the details here (I'm on chapter 3 of Daybreak), but this feels like CS III again, lots of characters from older arcs returning as what seem to be main characters of the game.
But well, knowing that Daybreak II will come soon-ish, maybe in less than 2 years we can play Kai.

Since this game only releases in Japan this year and English speakers haven't played daybreak 2....everything lol
screens are of returning characters that largely haven't shown up in the current arc yet
At first glance, returning characters from 2 previous arcs, and one that is spoilers for what happen in their arc.

Ah ok, thanks for the heads up. Was curious as I know story stuff for these games is a BIG deal.
Subtitle of the game is farewell o zemuria, if that's not a name that is tying up stuff, I don't know what is.
Well, they never really tied off any of the threads revealed at the end of CS4 unless something happens in Kuro arc that I'm not yet aware of (don't tell me lol).
Haven't finished CS4 yet so this is all way ahead of where im at but GODDAMNIT REAN GO AWAY FOREVER
Mostly selfish reasons because I was hoping for a clean break. I started TOCS, but then learned that it had ties to Zero and Trails and it just felt like too much baggage and I stopped. This having ties or will be tying up previous narrative threads puts me off from playing Daybreak ngl...
The series is going towards the ending in a couple of games so Daybreak 1 being a break from older material is one of the last times it'll happen. The rest will be pretty connected.
Well, as many people said, the "uniqueness" of Trails is that it's telling a story across many games, so that should not be unexpected. In any case, surely it's not hard to find a Youtube video summary if you're not interested in playing the earlier games.
Oh really? Didn't know that. Man that's making me question if I even wanna attempt getting Daybreak now. I know there's people who watched recaps but I dunno if I can do that. Will probably end up giving up on the series altogether.
Yeah maybe. I had the misconception of Daybreak as I thought it was breaking away from previous arcs, but I guess not. At this point I'd have to watch a recap of how many games? Like 5 or 6? I only ever finished Trails in the Sky. I mean, the title of the OT on era is "yes you can start with this one" lmao I hate this.
I think nearly ever game in the series contains summaries of past games at the title screen.
Characters from previous games that were not already in this story arc are now present.
To drill down more specifically, one of the characters has a VERY spoiler-filled story trajectory.
This stuff is always down to personal preference, but you don't have to play every game to understand what's going on when a returning character shows up. These games are pretty good about giving you the details you need. You don't even have to read the in-game recaps or encyclopedia. It just happens through dialogue.
Even if you're worried about spoiling games you might decide later that you want to play, the later games don't necessarily do that. You may know certain people live or where they wind up, but you won't know exactly how they got there, except to the extent it matters in their current role.
People who played the games in order will tell you they enjoyed it most that way, but that's also the only way they've experienced the story for the first time. Plenty of people who played out of order have said they enjoyed it too, and there's no way to judge whose first-time experience was objectively the best. Just play in a way that makes you actually want to play. Don't worry about missing out on something, because the other games are still there to be enjoyed if you fall in love with the series.
Now make find a way to make van a rean doppelganger implying you played the 2 daybreaks as rean, After all.
And than connect rean to the very First cutscene of Sky 1 with a time artifact or connect him to aidios itself.
More rean to save the day lol
While this is kind of true, I imagine it can get pretty demoralizing when a game keeps introducing one character after another that makes you go "oh I guess I'm supposed to know them... but I haven't played their game(s) so this does absolutely nothing for me". CS3 and 4 and Reverie in particular bring back SO many Sky and Crossbell characters, that's got to be ridiculous for someone who only ever touched Cold Steel.
I played each game as it released in English (with the exception of Zero and Azure which I played with the fan translations before CS3) and I'm very glad I did.

I played the games they were localized which was all over the place release wise. I wish I could have played them in order, which is why when people ask I do suggest it.
You can see Zin (Zane if you played with the old translation) and Kevin in the OP's screenshots.
You overestimate how many people work at Falcom for them to be pulling top-of-the-line stuff. 😅 (I haven't kept up with numbers lately, but IIRC the number is often always <100 employees).
Rean won't leave us alone
he's like that friend who you don't hate exactly but hanging out with him is really exhausting and even when you turn him down he still just shows up anyway and everyone is too nice to tell him no so we're forever locked in a cycle of spending all spending spending all our time with Rean Reanson and his not allowed to be gay not boyfriend Crow
Trails.

Trails.
Wait. There's already another one!? And Rean is the lead again?
Well, if they're tying up everything on Zemuria I guess it makes sense to bring back old characters but I'm so fucking sick of everyone I'm seeing in these pictures (except Kevin). I'll pass.
I'm still wondering if I should bother with Kuro and that one at least has the incentive of introducing a new cast.

Rean has been an inevitably in Calvard since the Reverie daydream where he lost to Shizuna, anyone paying attention knew it was going to happen
Rean isn't the lead, this is essentially still Kuro/Daybreak 3 despite the name change and so Van is still the lead. This stuff was specifically from a article featuring the returning CS characters (though some like Rufus were featured in an earlier one, and there are some not revealed yet that seem like obvious inclusions for various reasons that I expect to see later)
If they were going to do a clean break for good, then there would be no reason to stop the franchise, ever. Might as well just keep it going for good.
Trails needs an endpoint because they're all connected.
....These games were on PS3 at one point in CS1 and CS2. So we know what that looks like, and it is not this.
Should have gone for Unreal engine: Imagine rean HD with the Power of Unreal engine. Now use rean Unreal engine as the lead character for closing the franchise to cut the development costs lol
Anyway Maybe After kiseki falcom Will change its engine...
Making Trails get rid of Rean would be like making Dragon Ball get rid of Goku.
