    Nihon Falcom President Comments on Ys X: Proud Nordics and Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

    In the 1880th issue of Weekly Famitsu published today, there was a six-page featured article talking about two of the recent announcements that were unveiled at the latest Nihon Falcom shareholders meeting. In specific, the announcements pertaining Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and Ys X: Proud Nordics.

    Inside those pages, there were two staff comments from Nihon Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo. Below is a translation of both of those comments, pertaining to each game:

    Kondo on Ys X: Proud Nordics: “The decision to develop Ys X: Proud Nordics was done after we had received many comments from people who ‘wanted to enjoy the adventures of Adol and Karja even more.’ [Ys X: Proud Nordics] is not just a new version of the game, nor is it just an expansion.”

    “We have decided to balance the entire game from scratch, as if it were a brand new title, so not only newcomers, but also those who have played the original [Ys X: Nordics] will be able to enjoy the new story with a fresh perspective.”

    Ys X Nordics Demo

    Kondo on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter: “The ‘Kiseki‘ series has recently completed its 20th anniversary, and has been highly accepted by many fans. We have decided to remove The Legend of Heroes naming from the title in order to simplify the naming.”

    “The scenario has been faithfully reproduced [from the original], and we still aim to make it an RPG that can be recommended to anyone, with all the familiar systems that were introduced in past games.”

    In case you missed it, the former title, Ys X: Proud Nordics, is a re-release of Ys X: Nordics which is set to be released in Japan next year to unspecified platforms. The latter title, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, is a complete 3D remake of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC released originally for the PSP, set for a worldwide release in fall 2025 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
