I had no idea what the hell this was until today. I didn't have a PSP.
I'm in. So, so in.

$20 seems like a steal to me, I'd have happily paid twice that. I can't remember the last time I've been looking forward to a game this much.
Oh man, this is such weird timing. I was waiting for the PC version but last night I finally decided to just grab the PSP version next time it goes on sale, thinking it would happen first anyway. Then I wake up to this!
Now I don't know what to do. Kinda tempted to still go PSP for my first playthrough and just double dip on PC later on.

It's finally coming.
Been wanting to play this series ever since I read Hardcore Gaming 101's article about them. I'm pumped.

Finally. Already have the PSP version, but I liked it enough that I'm gonna go ahead and double-dip.

You have chosen wisely.
In fact, anyone that has nostalgia for the JRPGs of the 1990s OWES it to themselves to experience Trails in the Sky.

Awesome, I was thinking of getting this on my Vita a while ago but I'd rather it on Steam. Might be a good game to load on the HTPC + controller.

Nice, this is the first game yes? Never had a PSP, so awesome I get to check it out. I'm guessing no physical version?

I will double dip the fuck out of this.
I need an excuse to play through all six games before the 7th hits in September.

Really awesome to see so much excitement for this. I'm fighting sleep to get some stuff done for Volcynika's OT but I'm hitting the sack now.

The Japanese PC release is better than that IMO.
Check it out here: http://www.esterior.net/2014/06/edi...nboxing-of-the-original-trilogy-limited-sets/
Unreleased tracks?!?
HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHH
Estelle's not SHOUTING. This is misrepresenting her as her not shouting.
It's a throwback-minded JRPG that many claim to want.
It's got a clever, simple, direct battle system that many claim to want.
It's got absolutely no broken-minded PG-rated perversion stuff that many claim to not want.
It's got a legitimately huge world that makes more sense the deeper you delve into it that many claim to want.
It's got great tuuuuuuuuuuuunes.

Yeah, I guess I'm finally going to give this thing a try, it's been poking at me since 2004.
It's not what I want out of Falcom, to be honest, but I'm willing to see if it can live up to the hype.

Thank you for the GOG release!! 
I'll definitely buy it on day 1
I'm so happy!! Can't wait to replay it in preparation for SC!
EIDT: I just noticed that FC on Steam is region locked in Japan, not cool, not cool at all. I hope SC will be released on GOG as well

FC stands for First Chapter.
But AFAIK these series have quite a complex timeline that involves many other games.
Wait, what!?
What do you mean by that? Dont you mean in Japan instead of for Japan?
I'd say go with the PC one unless you really want to play it on a handheld, because it really is the definitive version of the game. Looks better, runs better, translation errors of varying degrees of severity fixed, and the few terms that have been changed for the PC version will be kept this way going forward.

That's actually available on iTunes right now. It's really interesting, since there's a few unused tracks on there that I'm surprised didn't get used (such as a second mountain climbing theme which would've fit Bose/Ravennue, character leitmotifs for Cassius and Agate, a much funkier take on probably a Zeiss theme, an Earthbound-esque dungeon theme that I bet would've been used in the Penguin Dungeon, and an additional harmonica song for Joshua).
Yeah, a big part of it is that I love playing this kind of retro RPGs on my Vita. I'm also not a big fan of splitting series across multiple platforms and, unless I'm mistaken, I believe some of the later Kiseki titles are Vita exlusives? I'm probably jumping the gun thinking that far ahead though.
Either way, I'll definitely want to grab the Steam versions at some point so I guess I might as well just get this one now.
The game is pretty old, I don't why it would run it.

Sweet! Thanks for the info. Hopefully this is the turning point for JRPGs coming to the PC

Definitely buying and playing day one. I don't even care that my backlog is getting ridiculously huge.

Well, that was a surprise. I guess I'll drop everything to play this, Dark Souls can wait, at least I'll be on break for one more week when it comes out.
Nah, there aren't any Vita exclusive Kiseki games. It's the only platform that can play at least one version of every game in the series though, although that's just true for Japan; I really can't see XSEED bothering with the PSP version of 3rd for example, if they were to do it at all.
FC - PC, PSP, PS3
SC - PC, PSP, PS3
3rd - PC, PSP, PS3
Zero - PSP, Vita, PC
Ao - PSP, Vita
Sen - Vita, PS3
Hoping Ao will get a PC version too (there is one in Chinese that Falcom could release, it's just if they will or not) considering that'd be the easiest one for XSEED to release.

Estelle shouts alot and shouts (and acts) before thinking much of the time...
...plus some people like that cover less, so I play off it with the former.
I've only placed FC but Estelle reminds me of the main character from a 1273952796236 year old anime, Kodocha
Sana is pretty awesome too.

Ah, Ultra Relax. I used to sing that song at karaoke all the time.
Those who heard me... cannot unhear me.

Oh right, forgot that Sen is also on PS3. When I said exclusive, I really meant not on PC. Sorry!
Is the PC version of Zero based on the original PSP release or the Vita remake?

I'm glad to see some people know/remember that Kodomo no Omocha exists, I love it.
Yeah... it makes no sense to bring the third one on the only platform where all the games are available...
I won't be buying this game on PC, but hope you guys enjoy it.

Never heard of this before, but am intrigued after reading that it's widely considered to be one of the bets jrpgs ever..

And neat, one of the main character has my real name. (Joshua)
lol

It isn't. No, seriously, it isn't. It's pretty good though.
God no wtf. The series as a whole might be my favorite thing in this genre but FC on its own merits is kind of...unremarkable?

It's very good, but as for one of the best JRPGs ever...I wouldn't go that far personally. It's probably an 8 or 8.5 out of 10 for me.
