This is called a “story trailer”, but I had to watch it three times because the music and disconnected imagery kept prompting me to slip into a pure vibe state. All I had were disconnected thoughts: that’s a big train; the little people are always walking; why is that girl underwater; am I spinning around inside the… cyberverse?

What I think the trailer is trying to communicate is: in Trails From Zero you, Lloyd Bannings, return to your bustling home city of Crossbell and join the police department, where you are assigned to the Special Support Section to handle oddjobs. You quickly discover there’s more crime and corruption within the city than you realised, and you have to work together with your pals Elie MacDoweell, Randy Oralndo and Tio Plato to put an end to it. What great names.

I haven’t played any of the The Legend of Heroes games or its Trails subseries, though there’s a billion of ‘em. Trails From Zero was first released in 2010 for PSP in Japan, though a fan-created English translation didn’t appear for ten years. Shortly thereafter, the creators of that fan translation agreed to work with publishers NIS America on this official release.

The Legend Of Heroes: Tails From Zero will launch on PCvia Steamon September 27th.
