The Legendof Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II will launch for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in North America this fall, XSEED Games announced.

The sequel picks up one month after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the entire nation of Erebonia in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, and sees Rean, with a new sense of hope, work tirelessly to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray.

No quick edits from Gematsu this time. There's also some screenshots in the article too.

Nice to see it confirmed for hitting before this winter. The cliffhanger from the first game has a lot less of a gap this time - I was there for the four-year cliffhanger wait between Sky FC and SC, so this is great in comparison.
 
Hopefully not in a too crowded window so that reviewers can actually get reviews out instead of ignoring it for big AAA games.

Nice. I gotta finish part 1 real fast.

Wonder when they'll announce Tokyo Xanadu. XSEED has no game releases until Cold Steel 2, summer is perfect for Tokyo and some Marvelous games.

What the hell is going on here?!?! Are they doing a tea party in the middle of a fight? XD

Finally, you guys get to enjoy the superior cold steel game :p

Anyways, bought day one for localization support mostly since I've already beat it twice.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I finished the first Cold Steel a few weeks ago, and it was one of my favorite RPGs ever. This one is supposed to be waaaaay better.

One can imagine why I am excited about this.

Ive been getting lots of mixed commentary on this

Seems like its superior in some ways and more of the same in others

Still excited though

Sounds good. I've been really enjoying CS, but I've taken my time with it and I'm pretty sure I'm around... Halfway through? Or something like that, so at this rate I shouldn't have to wait more than a couple of months for CS2 after finishing it

Well if it's like Cold Steel, it will come a month later in Europe.

Nice to hear they're on track and 3rd is coming as well. Based XSeed.

Oh yeah, I can finally talk about Sharon now that there's a public screenshot.

Sharon is the most awesome out of left field cast member that can fight with you. That screenshot you see is hands down the best healing craft in the whole game, not just in its funny visuals but in effect too.

Looks like we'll get to play as Toval (for at least a little while). I like that, he seemed pretty cool. Nice to have some Bracers in amongst the school kids.

I thought it was a great touch to have the Bracer guild down on their luck in Erebonia, to stop them being too much of a familiar comfort blanket for players used to TitS.

Well that picture sure is spoilers. I mean with the already large Class 7 + teacher party size I wasn't expecting that many more additions to the battle party, much less who! But whatevs, count me as hype! Wanna hope they'll get it out slightly sooner then like the day before christmas this time around!
 
I beat the first one just half hour ago. What an amazing game! Fantastic story, gameplay and memorable characters. I can't fault it. It's only the third Falcom game I've ever played. The other two being Ys games on Vita and PS2.

Why do these games have such an amazing soundtrack? It's so catchy and melodic I wish all vgm was still like this. The last dungeon theme is incredible and the boss music you fight in that dungeon....oh boy it rivals One Winged Angel.

I love these games and want absolutely more of them. I'm getting everything Xseed localises thats Falcom related from here on and very much looking forward to the sequel to this great series.

Put it this way I haven't been back to my PS3 since I got ps4 on launch until Cold Steel I. I've put 200 hours into this and loved every moment.

I just wish they got more coverage in the press so they'd sell more and reach to a wider audience. Instead the media chooses to cover crap like CoD and dudebro games. Trails games are better than most "AAA" stuff coming out today and made with a fraction of their budget.

I like the idea of using Sharonz Claire, Sara and Toval. Or maybe I just like the using an older cast. I wonder if we'll get any more like perhaps Olivert or Muellar. No Victor though. He'd be too game breaking. His daughter has already done the same in the first game.
 
Fall may be a bad idea considering Persona and FFXV are end summer-fall territory.

Summer may be bad for "insert niche game here". Fall may be bad for "insert AAA games or niche releases here". I mean may as well just cancel it while we're ahead since there's always going to be release competition.

I got grudge sucked!
I'm playing through ToCS1 right now and I figured there would be a sequel. Cool that I don't have to wait long for Rean, his future waifu Laura and the rest of the class fight off whoever the new not Darth Vaders are.
 
Not to be overshadowed by confirmation of The 3rd, I'm very pleased this is coming out so soon too, despite not having played the first Cold Steel yet. (I'm seeing how long I can hold off as I'd preferably like to play the games in order.)

I'm particularly excited since apparently this game is closest in feel to how SC was, which means it should be incredible.
 
Really nice to get this nailed down to a season as opposed to "this year." XSEED has literally made my weekend with Trails day. Thanks XSEED!
