Published 11 hours ago. 28 comments.


It's like the ARCUS... but version 2.0!



Falcom has new The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III information and screenshots detailing the “ARCUS II” battle orbment.
Get the details below.
? ARCUS II Battle Orbment

TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_001.jpg





A battle orbment is an orbal device that strengthens the user’s physical capabilities and enables the use of arts. In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, Rean and company will fight using “ARCUS II,” which is the latest version of the “ARCUS” battle orbment used in previous titles.




? Basic Structure


TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_002.jpg




A battle orbment manifests its abilities through the placement of crystal circuits called “quartz” into its empty slots. For ARCUS II, unique setups have also been added.

  • Master Quartz – A special quartz that levels up and gains abilities the more you battle. In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, you can equip up to two at once.
  • Quartz – A crystal circuit sealed with arts and special effects. There are normal, rare, and S rarity quartz.
  • Orbment Configuration – Several slots of the orbment are connected by lines. This configuration varies from user to user, as well as affects their fighting style.
    • Slots – A place to insert a quartz. When a slot is opened, your maximum EP will increase.
    • Lines – The longer the connected line, the higher your EP will increase when opening a slot.
  • Two Slots for the Master Quartz – The ARCUS II has two slots for the master quartz. The top slot is the main master quartz, while the bottom slot is the sub master quartz. 100 percent of acquired experience points will go to the main master quartz, while only 50 percent of experience points go to the sub master quartz.
  • Quartz Set Effect – The effects granted by set quartz are displayed in the lower left of the quartz configuration screen. You can use this area to check things such as how your stats increased and what special effects were granted.
? Master Quartz

TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_003.jpg

By setting the master quartz, in addition to gaining several special effects and enabling arts for use, your stats will also significantly increase. Furthermore, by participating in battle while the master quartz are set, they will gain experience points and can level up (Level 7 maximum). The arts you can use and the stat increases you gain will also rise based on your level, so be sure to level up.
Set the Main and Sub Master Quartz
Two master quartz can be set per character. Depending on the combination, you can further strengthen your abilities in battle.
Here are a few examples of master quartz and what they do:

  • Sculd – Increases the HP and EP of the user. In addition to enabling use earth attribute arts such as “Needle Shot,” the more HP you have remaining, the higher the amount of Break Damage you will deal.
  • Sirius – Significantly increases the speed of the user and enables use of wind attribute arts such as “Air Strike.” It also hits enemies with several times the standard amount of damage when an evasion counter is activated.
  • Regulus – Significantly increases the STR and DEF of the user. In addition to enabling use fire attribute arts such as “Forte,” the amount of CP (Craft Points) you obtain when taking damage will increase. By increasing your level, you can also cut the cool-down period for using an “S Craft” in half.
? Use More Powerful Arts Per Attribute
Arts, or otherwise magic, can be used by setting orbments. Using an art costs EP (Energy Points), and the greater the arts’ effect, the more EP it will cost. Arts have seven attributes, and consist of not only attacks, but of a variety of types including recovery and support. New arts will also appear in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III.
“Lost Genesis” (Time)
A dark heavenly body that engulfs everything appears and brings destruction to space and time. It has a “delay” and “deathblow” effect.


TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_004.jpg

“Sevens Calibur” (Space)



Seven sacred swords are summoned that penetrate anything evil. It has a 100 percent chance of inflicting a random status ailment.


TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_005.jpg



“Alvion Wolf” (Mirage)
An illusion of a silver wolf attacks the enemy with a shock wave. Among all of the attack arts, its power is said to be of the strongest class.




TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_006.jpg

“Zeruel Canon” (Fire)
After sending countless red-hot rays of light at the enemy, the enemy is hit with maximum light ray exposure. It has a 100 percent probability of inflicting the “burn” status ailment.


TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_007.jpg




“Diamond Nova” (Ice)

Generates ice cubes of absolute zero degree temperature, and breaks it against a group of enemies. It has a high probability of inflicting the “freeze” status ailment.




TLoH-ToCS3_08-31-17_008.jpg


“Gravion Hammer” (Earth)

Causes a massive earthquake and erupts the energy from underground. It significantly decreases the enemies’ speed and movement power for a fixed amount of turns.







“Ixion Volt” (Wind)
An attack that covers a group of enemies with a dark black cloud of thunder, then strikes them with lightning. It has a high probability of inflicting the enemy with the “seal” status ailment.

  • (Regarding rumors of the Trails of Cold Steel series coming out on PlayStation 4) While Kondo has nothing organized to announce, there are many requests from all around, and he also wants to be able to play the Trails of Cold Steelseries on PlayStation 4. He says to please look forward to a follow-up report.
  • A version 1.01 update of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III will be released on day one. Here’s what it does:
    • Improves battle tempo.
    • Balance adjustments for boss battles for each level of difficulty.
    • Significant difficulty adjustments for Divine Knight Battles.
    • Some Craft and Brave Order performance adjustments.
    • Event production adjustments and improvements.
    • Addition of some tutorials and improvements.
    • Addition of some event markers.
    • Typo and bug fixes.
  • At the end of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, the series as a whole will be a little over 60 percent complete. Elements that hint at the future of the series, such as sub-quests and casual conversations with the characters that appear, are strewn around the game.
  • The story of the Trails series will continue. Kondo thinks that he will be able to share various information about future developments in the series in the near future.

Falcom has officially announced The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ for PlayStation 4. It will launch in Japan in fall 2018.




Here is a brief overview of the game, via Falcom:


(Editor’s Note: It goes without saying, but any The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~-related information and images may be considered a spoiler for previous titles.)
Due to the “The Great Twilight” plan being put into effect, a loathsome “curse” spread across the empire.
Rean Schwarzer, the “Ashen Knight,” was overtaken by his rampaging ogre power and lost self-control.
As the world heads for its demise, what will the remaining members of the new and old Class VII do?
According to Falcom, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ will be the final chapter of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series, and depict the conclusion of the Erebonian Empire through overwhelming volume and grand scale that surpasses its predecessor, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III.

Cold-Steel-4_12-25-17.jpg




The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu has a new interview with Falcom president and CEO Toshihiro Kondo following last week’s announcement of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~.




Get the tidbits below.


(Warning: The following information may be considered spoilers for previous entries in the Trails series.)

  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ is an important title that will serve as a major end point for the Trails series that began in 2004.
  • The series’ end point in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ was decided around the time The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was released.
  • Since The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ is the first title Falcom announced as the final entry, there is major pressure on the company.
  • Falcom wants to meet the expectations of the users who have played the series thus far.
  • The subtitle, “The End of Saga,” was decided because The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV is a title that will end the series as a whole.
  • The title logo was made to contain all the elements of the Trails series thus far. The sphere behind the “IV” depicts The Great One and two treasures from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III.
  • (Regarding the key visual of Rean Schwarzer) While Falcom cannot share details at the present time, the story will depict the hopeless conclusion to Rean’s story.
  • At what point the story starts in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ is one thing to think about, but also pay attention to the question of, “Is Rean the protagonist in the first place?”
  • There are more playable characters than in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III—the highest amount ever.
  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ is an extremely dense RPG full of volume from start to finish.
  • While the “Brave Order” and “Break” battle systems from The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III will carry over in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~, they are being fine-tuned with the goal of a system that has an even greater sense of completion.
  • Since there are undoubtedly more characters than ever before in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~, they are working with care to make sure the story is constructed as a single RPG while also making preparations to highlight each character.
  • The state of the Empire has undergone sudden change due to the curse and general mobilization of the nation. There are also quests as a result of such circumstances.
  • The relationship between each side, such as where they are positioned, will also change. The enemy side will also see various movements.
  • Crossbell Police Department Special Support Section members Lloyd Bannings and Elie MacDowell will begin moving towards the conclusion discussed at the end of The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki.
  • Renne Hayworth has major involvement with and Tita Russell and Crossbell.
  • Development is 45 percent complete.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~ is due out for PlayStation 4 in Japan in fall 2018.

Cold-Steel-II-PC_01-26-18.jpg

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II will launch for PC via Steam, GOG.com, and the Humble Store on February 14, publisher XSEED Games announced.


The game was originally released for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in Japan in September 2014, followed by North Ameirca and Europe in September and November 2016. A PlayStation 4 version with 4K support is due out in Japan on March 8.


Here is an overview of the PC version, via its Steam page:
Story
Peace is but a memory.
In the wake of the Noble Faction’s occupation of Heimdallr, civil war has broken out across Erebonia. The provincial armies, loyal to the aristocracy and the Four Great Houses, have claimed many of the nation’s great cities in the name of the Noble Alliance. The Imperial Army, called back from the four corners of the Empire, has only just begun its sweeping counterattack.
After Rean managed to escape Trista with Celine and Valimar, he awakens in the mountains near his hometown uncertain what fate befell his friends, who bravely threw themselves in harm’s way to buy him time to flee.
Though the road will not be an easy one, Rean decides to take up his sword again, journeying across Erebonia with his Divine Knight, Valimar, in search of his friends from Class VII and a way to end the conflict before its price becomes far too dear…
About
Taking place on the same continent as the fan favorite Trails in the Sky offshoot of Nihon Falcom’s storied The Legend of Heroes franchise, Trails of Cold Steel II (Sen no Kiseki II in Japanese) is a direct sequel to Trails of Cold Steel, picking up one month after the decisive collision that changed the fate of the entire nation of Erebonia. The speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system returns with all the bells and whistles together with the new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation both across the land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray.
Key Features

  • A Direct Sequel that Remembers the Past – Clear data from Trails of Cold Steel carries over into Trails of Cold Steel II, granting players bonuses, and most importantly, remembering the many relationships cultivated during time spent at Thors Military Academy, allowing for more personalized conversations throughout the story.
  • Take to the Land and Sky in New Modes of Transportation – Fast travel isn’t just for Trista anymore; a personalized airship now allows players to swiftly choose and descend upon both familiar and foreign destinations alike—and on land, horseback riding not only returns, but players can now customize and utilize Angelica’s orbal bike for fast transportation across the map.
  • The Link System Returns with a new Overdrive Mode – Bonding with allies continues to pay off with the Combat Link System, netting a variety of combat benefits including healing, guarding, and more, and the new Overdrive mode allows linked characters to attack up to three turns in a row for new strategic battle options.
  • Experience the Game as Never Before – 50 percent more lines of English voice-overs have been added to the PC release, bringing a fresh experience to even those who have played it before on console. New features for this release include ultra-wide aspect ratio support, turbo mode, and an instant resume feature that allows players to launch directly from Steam to their most recent save.

The returning students of Thors Military Academy II Branch School.

Falcom has released the first information and screenshots of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~, introducing the game’s returning characters from Class VII of Thors Military Academy II Branch School.
(Warning: The following content contains spoilers for previous entries in the Trails series of The Legend of Heroes games.)

Get the details below.
? Characters

Juna Crawford (voiced by Nao Toyama)

The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_03-29-18_001.jpg


A lively girl with a high sense of justice from the old Crossbell State, and the leader-esque presence of “New Class VII.”
She originally set her sights on becoming a police officer due to her admiration for the “Special Support Section,” but various circumstances resulted in her transferring to the “II Branch School” of Thors Military Academy.
When she first entered the school, she did not trust the Empire that is an “aggressor nation” to her hometown, nor the “Ashen Chevalier” that is the Empire’s hero, but grew to overcome those difficulties with her friends in “New Class VII,” and resolved to seek out a future where her hometown and the Empire can work hand-in-hand.
However, as a result of “The Great Twilight,” which spread a “curse” all across the Empire, her fulfilled school life completely changed. Awaiting Juna was a serious and harsh reality.

Kurt Vander (voiced by Takuya Eguchi)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_03-29-18_004.jpg


The second son of the Vanders—a military family of the Empire—a prodigy in dual swordsmanship, and a handsome young man with an overly serious personality.
He lost sight of his goal after the Vander family was relieved of its duty of protecting the royal family, and enrolled at the “II Branch School” rather than the main school where he originally planned to enroll.

At first he doubted the ability of Rean, who is lionized as the “Ashen Chevalier,” but during his activities in “New Class VII,” he learned from Rean, who faced him with sincerity as both a swordsman and an instructor, and grew to become an honest person.
After the “curse” spreads across the Empire, Kurt awakens in an unknown village, but…



—Kurt and Juna

Altina Orion (voiced by Inori Minase)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_03-29-18_008.jpg


A girl with a lack of emotions, who uses the combat shell “Claimh=Solais.”
She is a member of the Imperial Intelligence Agency who goes by the code-name “Black Rabbit,” and who stood by the “Ashen Chevalier” for more than a year as Rean’s support and monitor under his “request” of the Agency.


After that, Rean became a professor at the “II Branch School,” and Altina herself accepted a mission to enter the school. During her activities as a student of “Class VII,” her bonds with Rean and the other students gradually deepened, and her emotions came to surface.
When the disaster occurred in the Imperial capital, she tried to sacrifice herself in order to protect her “friends,” but instead of herself, someone important to her was killed in action. Altina, who thought life would never be the same, sank to the depths of despair…

Musse Egret
(voiced by Ami Koshimizu)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_03-29-18_011.jpg


A girl characterized by elegant and bewitching behavior, born to the noble family of count Egret in the western part of the Empire.
She was once enrolled in the esteemed Saint Astraia Girls’ School, but when Thors Military Academy was made into a branch school, she transferred to the “II Branch School.” During her daily activities as a top-class student, she showed glimpses of mystery and bottomless talent, but—.
Her true identity is Mudine Useif Du Cayenne, the niece of Duke Cayenne, who caused the Imperial civil war, and the next Duke in line.
She formed the “Weissland Resurgent Army,” which gathered the strength of the noble forces, as a power against the Osborne camp, including the Imperial government and Imperial Army. After leaving the “II Branch School,” she starts making movements behind the scenes with the “Golden Rakshasa” Aurelia and “Azure Abyss” Clotilde.

Ash Carbide
(voiced by Tomoaki Maeno)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_03-29-18_014.jpg
A delinquent youth raised in the slums, who is rough and brazen, but possesses incredible talent in every field.
He enrolled in “Class VIII” at the “II Branch School,” but transferred to “Class VII” halfway through, and while being influenced by Rean and his classmates, discovered his own path forward.
Meanwhile, the rampage of the detestable “curse” of the Empire caused the major event known as the assault on Emperor Eugent III, and Ash was detained.
It seems that he was rescued by the “Weissland Resurgent Army” led by General Aurelia, who left the “II Branch School,” but his whereabouts after that are unknown.

? Characters

Lloyd Bannings (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_05-24-18_005.jpg




An investigator who belongs to the Crossbell Police Department’s Special Support Section.


He has a passionate heart brimming with a sense of justice, a persistent spirit able to overcome any barrier, and has led numerous difficult cases to their resolutions with the members of the Special Support Section.
After the occupation of Crossbell, he continued working as a member of the resistance, but two months earlier, he was confined to the Mishelam district as a result of Governor-General Rufus’ schemes.
However, thanks to Rean and the others, as well as the activities of the II Branch School, Lloyd was able to successfully escape.
Yelling in silence to Rean and the others, who were leaving Crossbell, Lloyd once again set off with his comrades to bring independence to Crossbell.






Elie MacDowell (voiced by Aya Endo)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_05-24-18_009.jpg


The granddaughter of Crossbell mayor Henry MacDowell, she is the advisor to the leader of the Special Support Section.

She has cultivated culture and political senses studying abroad in various nations since she was young, and uses that vast knowledge and excellent negotiation senses to support the activities of the Special Support Section.

After the occupation of Crossbell, she searched for a way to free Crossbell from a political and economic point of view, such as attempting to contact the Empire’s leading figures and Reinford Group chief Alisa, and kept up her own individual activities.


In order to find the cause of the disaster that occurred in the Empire, as well as achieve her goal of freeing the Crossbell that lies before her, she and Lloyd appear on the scene to make moves.






KeA Bannings (voiced by Rie Kugimiya)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_05-24-18_013.jpg


A naive girl loved by all. She was taken into the care of Lloyd as the result of an auction house incident caused by the Mafia, and has become like family to the Special Support Section ever since.

In actuality, she is a homunculus created by alchemists 500 years ago as a nucleus for the revival of the Mirage Treasure.

Although KeA, who is equipped with the Space and Time elemental attributes in addition to Mirage, utilizes her power as the Treasure of Zero, she was saved due to the activities of the Special Support Section and those that worked with them.

She seems to have currently lost her power as the Treasure of Zero, but is still marked as a person of interested by the Imperial government.

Crossbell Police Department Special Support Section


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_05-24-18_016.jpg


A section established by the old Crossbell Police Department in a bid for popularity among citizens and as a countermeasure against the Bracer Guild.

At first, it was ridiculed as a “Bracer imitation,” “odd job workers,” and the like, but the section eventually earned the approval of many through the steady activities and numerous difficult case resolutions of its members, including investigator Lloyd Bannings.


Accompanying the occupation of Crossbell by the Empire, the Crossbell Police Department became the Empire’s Crossbell Military Police, and in the process the Special Support Section was dissolved.


Due to the schemes of Governor-General Rufus—such as resistance that slipped past the Imperial army, the forced transfer to the Imperial military academy, and the supervised duties while there—each member of the section fell into a situation where they had no choice but to scatter.

After the occupation of Crossbell, she temporarily returned to the Foundation headquarters, but after that she was appointed as the research director of the Crossbell branch.

He was originally a jaeger part of the Red Constellation jaeger corps, which was said to the strongest in the continent.
However, after leaving the corps, he joined the Special Support Section by way of the Crossbell Guardian Force and solved numerous difficult cases with Lloyd and the others.
After the occupation of Crossbell, he was practically forced to transfer to Thors Military Academy Reaves II Campus by the schemes of Governor-General Rufus.
While getting closer to Rean and the others, who he met at the school, he continued to search for a way to liberate Crossbell.

Lost Arts: Dominate the Battlefield with the Strongest Magic

Lost Arts, which are a powerful and ancient Orbal magic that possess several attributes and first appeared in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, will return in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV ~The End of Saga~. During battle, you can activate Lost Arts, which grant various effects to the entire battlefield, in exchange for all of the in-use character’s EP.
—Prominence Loa
A Lost Art themed after sunlight that possesses the attributes of fire, wind, and space. It is an ultra powerful attack art that sees a huge phoenix appear from within the swirl of a threatening blaze, who then burns the battlefield to bits. In addition to dealing major damage to the enemy, it has the additional effects of canceling out enemy ability buffs and having a high probability of inflicting the Burn status ailment.



—Rianon Kiss
A Lost Art themed after the moon that possesses the attributes of fire, mirage, and water. It is a top-level support art that sees a goddess charm the enemies on the battlefield with her graceful dance to support her allies. In addition to tricking the enemies into a “charmed” state of confusion, it has the additional effect of increasing every party member’s attribute values.

Auto Mode has been implemented as a new system to let players enjoy standard battles with greater comfort.

Auto Mode is a convenient feature recommended for players who want to progress through the main story with little difficulty, or want to quickly explore fields and dungeons.
(During battle, you can switch Auto Mode on and off as you desire using the touchpad button.)

Campanella (voiced by Kanae Itou)
The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-21-18_001.jpg


Enforcer No. 0 of the Ouroboros society, who is also known by the nickname “The Fool.”


He has a boyish appearance, but his appearance has not changed in many years, and much about him is still shrouded in mystery.


He is moving behind the scenes in the Empire in order to recover the Phantasmal Blaze Plan captured by Osborne, but…


Upon receiving results of the Aion experiment, it was decided within the society to cause the disaster known as The Great Twilight. He decides to cooperate with the prime minister he opposed and the Gnomes, and move forward with plans to invoke the disaster

McBurn (voiced by Junichi Suwabe)
The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-21-18_004.jpg




Enforcer No. 1 of the Ouroboros society, who has the ability to freely manipulate fire.


Although admired as the “strongest” Enforcer in the society, he has a considerably moody personality. He is constantly lazy, and will even abandon missions he does not have interest in as he pleases.
However, when he comes face to face with a “warrior” who could oppose him, he transforms into a “Blazing Demon” who manipulates ominous black flames.


After The Great Twilight begins, he handles missions for the society while beginning to take his own actions in order to get a better understanding of his “true self” never seen by anyone.

Shirley Orlando (voiced by Ayana Taketatsu)


The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-21-18_008.jpg


Enforcer No. XVII of the Ouroboros society, and a natural combat enthusiast who is battalion commander of the continent’s strongest Jaeger corps, the Red Constellation.


She entered the Empire at the request of Mariabell, the third Anguis, and gleefully performed duties in various places, such as confirming the Jaeger corps’ results, sabotage, and attacking the II Branch School.


When the disaster occurs in the Imperial capital, Red Constellation and their rivals Zephyr temporarily worked together in a heinous collaboration.
With the society lending their support to the Osborne camp, Shirley seems to be operating with Prince Cedric as an escort, but…?




The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-21-18_011.jpg

Cedric Reise Arnor (voiced by Naomi Shindou)
The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-21-18_012.jpg


As the legitimate child of Eugent Reise Arnor III, he is the crown prince of the Erebonian Empire with first rights to succeed to the throne.
He has a kind and honest personality, as well as an extremely good relationship with his older brother Olivert and twin sister Alfin, but the balance between his mind and body was destroyed following the incident of him being used as the core of the Vermilion Knight during the Civil War.
A year and a half after that, Cedric, who became a different person from his personality to his swordsmanship, officially entered the main branch of the military academy.


Having apparently been heavily influenced by Prime Minister Osborne, he spares no effort to collaborate with him, using his position as the crown prince in order to realize the disaster in the Empire.


He seems to be clinging to the “power” of the Vermilion Knight, but…

The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-28-18_003.jpg
A young man who for certain reasons was raised as the adopted son of the Schwarzer baron family, despite being the biological son of Prime Minister Osborne.
Rean, who possesses “ogre power” and is a master of the Eight Leaves One Blade style, was recognized as a hero in the Empire after the Civil War as the Ashen Chevalier that pilots the Ashen Knight Valimar.
After graduating from Thors Military Academy, he became an instructor at the II Branch School.
There, while guiding troubled students as their sole instructor, he brought together the power of the new Class VII to fight against the disaster in the Empire…
However, he falls into a trap set by those moving in the shadows, cutting the fuse of the world’s “demise” with his own hands, and in turn finds himself imprisoned.

The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_06-28-18_008.jpg
A reliable upperclassman and good friend who attended the Military Academy with Rean and the others.
Although he loves gambling and is easily carried away, he was actually working behind the scenes as the leader of the Imperial Liberation Front terrorist organization to get revenge on Osborne, who annexed his home town of Jurai City.
After the Civil War, he reconciled with Rean and the others, who he was against, and fought alongside them to defeat the Vermillion Apocalypse, but suffered a fatal wound and left Rean and the others with only words and his last breath.
However, due to the Gnomes’ undertaking, Crow was temporarily revived as the immortal “Azure Siegfried.” While losing his memories of the past, he worked under the command of the Gnomes.
It seems that the sealed memories of “Crow” are restored at the same time The Great Twilight begins in the Imperial capital, but…

After that, she welcomed Renne, a young girl of the Ouroboros society that she met during the Liberl Disaster, as a member of her family, and continued her activities as a bracer while checking in on various locations of West Zemuria, but—.
Disturbing rumors—such as the attempted assassination of the emperor by the Republic of Calvard, the explosion of Courageous, and demand for other countries to break diplomatic relations with the Republic—had spread across West Zemuria. In order to determine the truth, Estelle takes action alongside Joshua and Renne.

One of the Orphans of Hamel, he once worked as an assassin and informant for the society as Enforcer XIII: The Black Fang, but upon meeting Cassius and his daughter Estelle, became the adopted child of the Bright family and walked the path of a bracer.
As a bracer during the cult attack on the old Crossbell State, he also cooperated with Lloyd and the Special Support Section.
After the disaster in Crossbell was settled, he continued his activities as a bracer in the Kingdom while watching over the Bright family’s adopted daughter Renne.

After entering Jenis Royal Academy, she utilized her talents as a guild assistant and cooperated with the school to introduce the Orbment Network Exam in the Kingdom, but—.
In order to determine the safety of her close friend when the disaster occurs in the Imperial capital, she decides to set out for the Empire.

Liberl Kingdom
The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_07-12-18_014.jpg
A small kingdom in Southwest Zemuria, south of the Empire.
Although a monarchy, the aristocratic system was repealed, and the Kingdom is enjoying peace under the skillful foreign policy of the current ruler Queen Alicia von Auslese II.
The Liberl Kingdom is the homeland of Dr. Russel—one of the three disciples of Epstein—achieved growth as a technologically advanced country due to its large number of watchmakers, and is known to have been the first to make practical use of Orbal airships.
Many years ago, a countrywide Orbal shutdown by the plotted by the Ouroboros society known as the Liberl Disaster occurred, but under the cooperation of the Royal Army, Bracer Guild, and Prince Olivert, who was known by the name Olivier Lenheim at the time, the incident was safely settled.
After that, the Liberl Kingdom worked hard for the peace and stability of West Zemuria, whose tensions centered on Crossbell were increasing, but…
Bracers Guild
The-Legend-of-Heroes-Trails-of-Cold-Steel-IV-The-End-of-Saga_2018_07-12-18_015.jpg
A private organization of bracers that work for the peace of the land and protection of civilians.
While bracers are prepared to use force if it means the protection of civilians, they are also weak in that they cannot exercise the rights to investigation or arrest towards state or official powers unless the safety of the civilians is endangered.
After the guild branch explosion incident in the Erebonian Kingdom many years ago, the bracers’ activities were drastically reduced by the hand of the Blood and Iron Chancellor.
After the Civil War caused by the Noble Faction and Reformist Faction, those restrictions weakened, and there were signs of full-blown bracer activity restoration in the Empire, but—.
Accompanying the announcement of the National Mobilization Law, the Bracer Guild’s activities were again restricted.
