  • “It has become evident that our player base is contracting,” Kondo admitted, according to Automaton. “The development team also required a creative breather.” Kondo noted that the series’ historical ties to PlayStation—at a time when Sony has lost significant ground to Nintendo in the Japanese market—played a role in the dip.

    By modernizing the Trails in the Sky arc, Nihon Falcom hopes to rebuild momentum, welcoming back lapsed veterans and enticing new players before the saga reaches its final act.
