This beloved turn-based JRPG series of Nihon Falcom features a rich world spanning generations of colorful characters. There has never been a better time to dive into this banger of a franchise than now!

Unsure where to start? We’ve got you covered. Chronologically, the Trails in the Sky trilogy is the first set of games taking place in the world of the overarching Trails series. This set features 3 whole games of delicious JRPG goodness:

• The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd

We’ve lined them up for you below, so let’s get into it! (Entirely spoiler-free, of course.)

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

As the first game in the series, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky introduces you to a vast world to explore. Join Estelle Bright and her adopted brother Joshua as they train hard in order to maintain the peace. Travel the land together with the duo and their friends, but prepare yourself: you will get caught up in something much bigger than the both of you. That time spent training will be sorely needed in order to overcome the obstacles ahead.

Praised by fans for years now, the notably intricate and lovingly-crafted details in every corner are waiting to be discovered by you. NPCs may hold key information or secrets about the world, which will both reward and enrich your exploration.

Additional difficulty modes are available for those who prefer to simply enjoy the story as well as for weathered veterans looking for a challenge!

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC

Taking place shortly after the events of the first installment, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC focuses on Estelle as her journey continues. Reconnect with loved ones from the past game as you help Estelle take on another big mission issued by the guild: suspicious activity is taking place just below the surface.

The second game is many times bigger than The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, and completionists may spend even more time journeying the land of Liberl. Over 70 hours of gameplay and hundreds of characters and collectibles await you, each with unique stories to tell and facets to add to the world as well as its overarching story.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 3rd

The final game of the trilogy, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 3rd, builds on your past combat experience, deemed as the most challenging game of the set. About half a year has passed since The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, and Estelle’s chapter has since closed.

The flamboyant Father Kevin Graham takes over as protagonist of this closing adventure. Confessing his faith by day and taking on special missions by night, this Father is a high-ranking member of another special task force. His rank won’t help him this time, though, as he’s paired up with Sister Ries Argent—a total rookie!

The routine mission they’re tasked with is about to take a turn, in part because Kevin could have handled this by himself. Unfortunately, he has company, and we’re honestly not sure if it’s the good kind.

Enter a new realm together in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 3rd, where nothing is as it seems and new secrets are laid bare. Even though, as with many secrets, some are better kept that way.
