XSeed Games has released some last-minute new media in anticipation of the imminent release of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel Trophies. First up are the game's logo and box art for both versions.
Taking place on the same continent as fan-favorite Trails in the Sky, Trails of Cold Steel is the first game in the series to explore Erebonian soil, giving players a chance to delve deep into the inner political conflicts of this oft-mentioned and powerful empire.
In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, players take on the role of specially-selected elite military students at a time of great turmoil, who enjoy school life as they bond with fellow students to earn new abilities in battle, and then utilize those abilities via speedy, tactical turn-based combat, which is complemented by the newly-developed “ARCUS” system.
We also have a new trailer that provides a look at the battle system.
In addition to highlighting some of their best “Craft” and “S-Craft” attacks, this video also showcases the combining of attacks via the turn-based Combat Link System, as well as a variety of magic-like “Arts.” Rean, Laura, and Jusis lacerate their way to victory with deadly sword slashes, Alisa and Machias provide support from afar with long-ranged attacks, Gaius zeroes in on enemies like a hawk with spear outstretched, the versatile Fie assaults foes both near and far with her twin gunswords, Elliot’s fondness for music is realized with his “Seventh Rhapsody” attack, and Emma - not to be outdone by Elliot - utilizes her Orbal Staff to summon the grand Lord Albireon.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel will make its western debut on December 22nd in North America and a week later in Europe on December 29th. The cross-save title will be available for both PS3 and Vita.
