Since then, the two nations have been at peace, especially because Liberal actually has very advanced technology, utilizing pseudo-magical power sources called orbments. Ten years ago, Liberal was invaded and almost conquered by the Erebonian Empire, but were driven off during the Hundred Days War. So, here's some quick background info to set the stage here. Linkara (v/o): Actually, I'm pretty sure it's pronounced 'LIE-beral', which is basically the name of the country we're in, headed over by Queen Alicia, II. Linkara: Damn liberal media! I hear they want to give equal rights to slime monsters. Cassius asks them to pick up a copy of his favorite newspaper, Liberal News. We jump ahead five years later, where Estelle and Joshua, now having been raised together as sister and brother, are on their way to the town of Rolent to complete their training as Bracers, which I'll explain in a moment.

and it's otherwise irrelevant to the plot anyway. Linkara (v/o): This is Joshua, who has a mysterious backstory that we don't learn until the end of the game. Linkara: (as Estelle) Well, now how am I supposed to cook him for dinner? Linkara: (as Cassius) Honey, you will never believe what was on sale at the mall today!Ĭassius: Don't make such a fuss or you'll wake him up.Įstelle: Wake him up.? You mean he's still alive? Linkara (v/o): The story begins with a prologue cutscene showing our main character, Estelle Bright, as her father Cassius comes home with an unconscious boy in his arms. Cut to gameplay footage of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky ) (AT4W title sequence plays, and the title card has the title music from the game playing in the background. Linkara: And as such, let's dig into The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky and see what it does have in store for us. In case you're wondering, this request came from the same person who paid for ' Cho Dengeki Stryker', so hopefully this one will have less pedophilic dogs.

You've seen it before and this is the first game of this little subseries, so there's no major backstory that isn't just part of the story itself. Linkara (v/o): The story is a steampunkish fantasy-turned-base-RPG. Linkara (v/o): Then, when they reached the next one, the one were looking at today, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, they just abandoned the numbering concept for the American release and just called each individual game in a subseries their own number within it. Linkara: Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II never got an English release, but I assume, at this point, that if they did release it, they'd call it Zombie 9. Oh, did I not mention that? Yeah, the second game of one trilogy came out before the first. Once the fifth game arrived, they called that Legend of Heroes III. So the American version of Legend of Heroes IV was released before the American version of Legend of Heroes III, although without a number attached to it. Oh, but despite this being the mid-2000s, and they're releasing ten-year-old games, they had to do it out of order. And once these games were brought to the U.S., it was decided to rename them in the same kind of asinine way Final Fantasy was hence, why, in Japan, there's Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I and II, then The Legend of Heroes III, while in America, we have the first Dragon Slayer game, and then The Legend of Heroes III becomes The Legend of Heroes II. You might think it was because it focused on different characters in the Dragon Slayer games, but nope! Of course, the sequels exist within their separate sets of continuities, so, like Final Fantasy, they just shoved the name on them for brand recognition, despite the fact that they really have nothing to do with one another. For reasons that I couldn't find, it's spun off into its own series, The Legend of Heroes.

The games are developed by the company Nihon Falcom, and the first two were actually part of a completely different series of games called Dragon Slayer, with said games being called Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I and II. Linkara (v/o): The Legend of Heroes series is one of those things that the Angry Video Game Nerd would make a 'Chronologically Confused' video about if he actually played these sort of things. (Cut to a shot of the covers of the game series Dragon Slayer and The Legend of Heroes ) It's a JRPG! And hey, I'm well-known for my opinions about JRPGs, like Pokemon and, um. As I said last time, it's a Patreon-sponsored review of something that is decidedly not a comic. Buuut of course, it's not a bad comic today. Linkara: (wearing a black cloak) Hello, and welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn.
