Falcom has officially announced Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, a full remake of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC and the sequel to Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. It will launch for PlaySt…
Trailer has spoilers for first game ending, so linking to announcement post instead of trailer directly.
I played the original trilogy and tried the demo for the remake.
I would recommend playing the remakes, as most fans do from what I’ve seen.
The reasoning is, while the original Sky trilogy has a certain charm to it and decent QoL features, they are a bit dated at this point and only playable on PC and PS4 (or PSP, without said QoL). While the remakes are avaliable on more platforms and have superior QoL and gameplay improvements from more modern games in the series.
A point of contention to this is the third game, which hasn’t been confirmed if it will be remade, but that game is arguably optional entry since its more of a spin-off that sets up future games in the series (still a pretty good game). You can play Sky 1st and 2nd remakes and have a full experience, then if you feel inclined to you can jump to another arc you prefer.
