The Legend of Heroes series is pretty popular right now, and that's largely thanks to Trails of Cold Steel and Trails of Cold Steel II being ported to the PlayStation 4 here in the West. With Trails of Cold Steel III set to follow suit in September, it's safe to say that Falcom's role-playing franchise is going from strength to strength.
And now, adding to the hype, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo has basically confirmed that his team is working on ports of previous The Legend of Heroes titles -- namely Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki. As their names suggest, these two games take place in a different story arc prior to the aforementioned Trails of Cold Steel games. Both were originally PSP titles, and although fan translations exist, they were never officially released outside of Japan.
Anyway, speaking to Easy Allies, Kondo says that Falcom is preparing to "bring both of those games to modern consoles". The project is still in "very early stages", but once things get going, the developer will be looking to "start talks with foreign publishers". Sounds promising, doesn't it?
Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki are regarded by some fans as two of the property's best titles, so hopefully everything eventually comes together and everyone gets a chance to play them.

Wow, this would be brilliant news! They’re both two of the best RPGs I’ve played in years, even with the fan translation.
They Are Bring them to Modern Consoles Thats Great But What i want to know is How Long Will We Have To Wait For The English Version.
Didn't they already port these to PS3?
I really want to get into the series (own most of them!) But just don't have the time to invest in a new set of RPGs!
Definitely day one for me. I never managed to get the fan translation to work.
Amazing if true... that'd be the 2nd best RPG-related news of the year (right behind Baldur's Gate III)!
I'm currently playing the fan-translation of Zero on PS Vita, but will absolutely buy the official PS4 version on day 1
I never played any game of the Legend of Heroes series when it was launched, but recently I got the Trails of Cold Steel 1 remaster for PS4 and I was impressed, instantaly I got interested to it's world, history, characters. Really a great game, certainly I will buy Trails of Cold Steel II and III, possibly.
Great news if they are going to remake the old PSP games.
Yes please! And trails in the sky trilogy too. I'd buy all of them on PS4.
Awesome! When I first got my PSP I fell in love with TITS 1 and 2, and was so disappointed when I found out 3 didn't have an english release (at the time). Then felt worse when I found out even more games came out on the PSP in the series that didn't come out here. Now we have all 3 TITS games in English, the first 3 TOCT (and hopefully the 4th lol), and possibly MORE LoH games? HYPE~!
