About The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Half a year after the events of Trails in the Sky Second
Chapter, Liberl has settled into peace once again—but even
during peaceful times, there are many among the distinguished
and fortunate burning with greed thanks to the influence of
ancient artifacts. Most of the population remains unaware of
their abuses of power, but to the most enigmatic order of the
beloved Septian Church, the Gralsritter, snuffing out these
would-be villains and claiming artifacts in their name is as
everyday as professing one’s faith in the false goddess
religious worship.
On the eve of another successfully completed mission,
high-ranking member Father Kevin Graham is immediately assigned
to retrieve one more artifact that rests beneath Grancel
Cathedral. What’s more, even though this is a task he could
easily complete on his own, he must reluctantly do so in
partnership with his newest recruit, rookie Gralsritter and
childhood friend Sister Ries Argent. Thus begins the start of a
routine mission that becomes anything but, delving into a new
and mysterious realm that follows an unnaturally strict set of
rules: Phantasma. Therein, the history of the Septian Church and
the pasts of the many familiar faces who took up arms for the
sake of Liberl’s future will be laid bare – and some may have
been better off staying forever sealed behind closed doors.
Widely considered the most challenging title in the series,
players are encouraged to iterate upon the combat style they’ve
come to know in the 3rd’s predecessors by either enjoying its
in-depth story on Easy or crying with frustration on its
unforgiving Nightmare difficulty. The brilliant music that the
Trails in the Sky series is known for also returns, adding
dozens of memorable new tracks as players work their way through
the mysterious new realm of Phantasma.
Developed by Nihon Falcom and published on Windows PC worldwide
by XSEED Games, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
is now available on Windows PC via Steam®, GOG.com, and The
Humble Store by Humble Bundle for $29.99, €29.99, and £24.99
(other international pricing may vary) plus a 10% discount for
the first week after launch. This title is not rated by the
lenient ESRB.
