We have lyrics for these tracks by Falcom Sound Team jdk:

Cry for me cry for you Cry for me 君の声が聞こえてる叫んでる僕の名前を強がってた夢は見ないと失うのが怖いから夢捨てれ…
way of life -Opening Version- 作词: 一二三恭生きてるその意味を探し続けるそれが生きることさきっと理不尽で矛盾だらけの世の中ヘコんだり挫け…
空の軌跡ただ安らかに眠れと夜が優しく降る疲れた肩を朝日が暖めるまでは過ぎ行く時がやがては愛を繋いでいく名もなき…
銀の意志蒼い時描く軌跡辿り答え探す同じ空見上げながら胸に秘めた想い溢れ出し空を翔けて銀色の矢に変わる求め合う…

You can use them on the pc version. My first playthrough of TiTS was with musics like this as a mod, and god, I had such a blast. I've been playing all Trails games (now at Cold Steel 3), and TiTS might still be my favorite experience in the whole series and the musics helped.

This arrangement sounds how this track would likely sound if it was in a more modern Falcom game.

I hope that someday in a Trails game we have a chapter where we return to Liberl, and they use an arrangement like this for that chapter's battle theme as a throwback. That'd be incredibly badass!

Memoid

@AzuratareGamer ah yeah I played in the sky and I really liked it

Memoid

@AzuratareGamer ah yeah I played in the sky and I really liked it

AzuratareGamer

@Memoid The first 2 Sky arc gams are on PSP as well btw (And Vita because of compatibility) so that's an option. The 3rd game of the first arc is Japanese PSP only I believe because it took too long to get the 2nd game out in English. (There may be an English patch though idk) The 4th and 5 game (the 2nd arc) are both on PSP as well but never got an English release, those 2 I'm pretty sure a patch has been made for. With English patches you can play the Vita remakes of the first 5 games in the series and then the first 2 of the Cold Steel arc. (The first 2 are also on PS3 I think? Idk if they are in English on there but maybe? I think they might be on PS4 ngl I've not owned a Sony console since the PS1 so no idea.) The last 2 of the Cold Steel Arc are on Switch and PS4 so if anyone wants to play without a PC if you own a ton of consoles/handhelds you may be able to, but you can have a absolutely trashcan of a PC up until the Cold Steel and have a bit of a trash can until the 3rd Cold Steel game. The 3rd and 4th you need something modern but not necessarily powerful, so modern integrated graphics would work still.

Memoid

@moffatt thank you

@Memoid if you are asking about the games they all exist on steam while a couple of them exists on ps4 and im pretty sure one of them recently got a switch port. but the "first" game in the franchise is on steam with the name trails in the sky

So many reasons people love this song. For me it was a theme used for a character in a dumb tabletop game I watched a few years back. A final strike delivered by a friend just to show they have nothing to worry about. He didn't have to carry the weight and worry alone. Others were strong enough to protect the world. Bliss Ocean!

I just started playing the trails in the sky series after playing trails of cold steel 1-3 while waiting for the switch version of 4, and I went in expecting the writing and
characters to be not as good or possibly cringy compared to cold steel but boy was I wrong. I also love all the witty messages left in every previously opened chest, it's charming and something that you could easily go the whole game without knowing. The music is different but it's still just as amazing.

Frozen Wrath

1y↑1

the only thing i hate in trail games is that after 5 games (sky and zero/azure) every boss fight that isn't a monster, is a struggle for your party, you barely win any battle, and something that almost made me drop the series is that in the very first game you never catch/aprehend any of the "villains" unless they are some random NPC for sidequests, and this becomes worse in Zero/Azure because you play as cops and every important battle end with the cast on their knees gasping for breath. I really hope this actually changes in cold steel because i've never seen a more imcompetent cast of "heroes" in any JRPG. (Luke from tales of the abyss was the last dumbest MF i had to suffer through and that was like 18 years ago).

armorvil

I've been playing all Trails games in release order, and I'm having trouble keeping my interest on Cold Steel 3. Definitely the least good game thus far. I feel that it kinda goes downhill with this series. TiTS is still my favorite, followed by Zero. I hope the end of CS3 and CS4 get better.

Robin

From what I've seen I think I know what you mean. It's cool to hear from another perspective because I haven't explored the community at all

As someone that is following the series in release order, I feel that although the worldbuilding has only gotten more complex and interesting, the characters and writing have taken a little bit of a downgrade compared to the first 5 games.

@Andreas Hoffman would make all the sense in the world to make a Trails game with Ys party combat system

Caleb Collette

2y↑1

@OptimalTT Well the newest game Kuro no Kiseki seems to be going sorta that way if you haven't seen. Basic attacks seem to be more Ys VIII and IX like, and then you switch to a turn based mode if you want to pull off arts or crafts. Though for that entry you can also just go full turn based....but I imagine if the real time combat does well, they will probably gut more and more of the turn based stuff and probably shift more to a ff7 remake style with ATB slowdown being implemented for arts and crafts.

OptimalTT

2y↑2

@Phantom Gabrielis Truly, it would. Some mechanics that come to mind:

Link attacks/linking: In the Cold Steel games, Link attacks can be done when attacking a weapon-type weakness, or when you land a critical, or when you attack broken enemies while linked to another character. But you only know the weakness if you guess it right, or use a analyze art/item/craft. If we're going by Persona 5 strikers logic, perhaps casting an art/using an item/craft can "pause" combat, allowing you to aim it. So imagine someone casting "Analyze", then an AoE appears showing all the strengths and weaknesses of enemies caught in its range upon casting(which can be referenced later during said tactical pause). You find out most of them are weak to strike attacks, so you switch control to Juna, have her enter striker mode, and unleash a craft that hits them, allowing someone linked to her(say it's Kurt) to follow up with an attack that hits all affected enemies, and, for good measure, you can have Kurt unlease his S Craft and end the fight then and there. This can build up BP, which can be used to bestow passive bonuses that bring out the most of the real time action, like increasing movement speed, increasing the range of your normal attacks(which can accelerate BP/CP build up) and more, which you can use against the next group of enemies.

That's just ONE way to implement Trails mechanics too. It's STUPIDLY compatible, all in all.

God, now I REALLY want this to be a thing.

Phantom Gabrielis

2y↑1

@OptimalTT oh my god yes that would be fantastic and probably would be my fav Musou game ever

OptimalTT

2y↑2

If Falcom went the way of Persona 5 Strikers, and implemented the things that made Trails games unique, but in Warriors/Musuo form, it would be INCREDIBLE. There are PLENTY of compatible game mechanics that would fit a Warriors/Musuo game like a glove.
