Trails in the Sky was originally released exclusively in Japan on the PC in 2004, then made its way to the PSP in 2006, but it wasn't until 2010 when Xseed Games announced that they would be localizing the game for release in North America. The Legend of Heroes RPG series has been around for quite some time, with it's origins going all the way back to 1989, when it was part of the Dragon Slayer series.
Fans of The Legend of Heroes series will be pleased to know that Xseed Games has completed localizing The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky.
