Trails through Daybreak Release Date Set for July on PS5, PS4

I should be able to finish Shadow of the Erdtree by then so good timing! I'm so excited to finally start the Calvard arc.

Looks like I'll be taking that Friday off for a nice 4 day weekend here in the states.

I'm hyped! First, I just need to finish Azure, Cold Steel 3 & 4, then Reverie. So give me about 2, maybe 3 weeks to platinum them all.

@darreb510 Do you have access to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?

I've not long started Cold Steel 3, so I've still got 4 and Reverie to go before I can start this game. Or is this game separate and can be enjoyed without playing the Cold Steel Arc fully?

Dear Falcom/NISA/XSeed, I don't care who, where are The trails in the sky remasters?

@UltimateOtaku91 Kiiiind of. It is a sequel in that it takes place after the events of Reverie, but it's also the start of a new arc in a different country. It'll be a relatively good place to jump in if that's what you wanted to do.

Would probably still recommend playing Cold Steel 3, 4, Reverie (if only because they're really good), but I understand not everyone has the time!

I look forward to reading all the arguments in various forums about whether this is an appropriate place to start the series vs Sky FC or Cold Steel I.

(the correct answer is "play the games you're interested in first, don't force yourself through ones you aren't")

@Ricky63 This is the way.

No but seriously, I started with the Cold Steel games then went backwards as the Crossbell games got localised. Didn't harm my enjoyment one bit, and to be totally honest, I probably wouldn't have got so invested in the series if I had started with the older games and forced myself through them, like you say.

Would like to finish Reverie before playing this but stopped playing Reverie because Rebirth is out. Need to finish BG3 as well but can't stop playing Rebirth. Aaahhh!

Finally the date I needed to plan my vacation around xD

@darreb510 you'll need like 300 hours for that bruh u crazy

Can't really watch the trailer due to spoilers, but another one to get. I am falling way behind. Dam you monster hunter rise sunbreak. /shakefist You take too much of my time!

So thats me staying indoors through most of the summer. Been waiting for this game a long time. So happy it is now locked down!

I’ve always wanted to try to get into this Cold Steel (I think it’s called) series and sequels or whatever, but it feels overwhelming to start. Plus, I know once I begin, they’ll remaster or remake the first game

@CWill97 you can play them all on ps4/5.
I started with cold steel. It's supposed to be an entry point and it's the first 3D one.
There are references to previous titles but nothing i consider essential, even though purists of the series will tell you to play from trails in the sky. If you want to try the 2D ones trails from zero/azure are available as well. The sky series is the least relevant for cold steel onwards.

Alternatively... i think you can start with Daybreak. New sub series are entry points for new players. It's mostly a new cast of characters. If you like it you can always go back and play the others. They are unlikely to be remade/remastered anytime soon.

@Nem thank you for your response!! From what you’re saying, I shouldn’t hold my breath on any type of updated re-releases of the first couple of games.

I actually may do you said in the 2nd paragraph and start with Daybreak. I’m not against going back to playing older entries. I played Yakuza 0 then 7 then played 1 through 6 in order. So if Daybreak is good, it may hook me in! Just what I need- another JRPG series dominating my free gaming time 😂😂

Yay! I just finished going through Sky 1,2, Azure, Zero, Tocs 1234 and Reverie. Phew!

I guess I need to finish Reverie by then. This is also only two weeks after SMTV Vengeance. Hoo boy.

@ShogunRok I just bought the entire trails of cold steel series and reverie, how does ths title relate to those?

Edit: never mind just found your awesome guide on the series.

@Terra_Custodes Haha, hope you enjoy them!

@ShogunRok Thanks, I've gotten back into JRPG's so hard the past few years, back to my roots. After researching the trails series it really appealed. I'm excited about doing a 7 game saga, not daunted; it will be epic haha.

@Terra_Custodes There's nothing like a good JRPG. Can be both gripping and relaxing at the same time. The Trails series has become one of my absolute favourites!

@ShogunRok I agree, I love hardcore games too like the Soulsborne games, technical ones like Devil May Cry. But I have to be in a certain frame of mind for those, a very specific one. With JRPG's I can enjoy them any time in any mood. Especially good old turn based ones! Now if only we'd get some news on Suikoden...
