The mysterious technology known as "orbal energy" significantly impacts modern life. The development of this technology and the "orbments" that resulted from it fifty years ago, during what has come to be known as the "Orbal Revolution," sparked a period of rapid human advancement that gave rise to innovations of all kinds, not the least of which was the airliner, or "orbalship," industry. Although the benefits of this revolution are evident, there is always a negative side to any story. For every helpful invention made possible by these new materials, there were also sophisticated guns and other instruments of war. The result was that the region descended into chaos, which it still does today.

Enter the bracers, a group created to act as both police and intermediaries, maintaining the peace and safety of the areas under their control above all else. When a citizen needs assistance, they can go to their neighbourhood Bracer Guild and make a request. Whether it's monster eradication, crime prevention, or even peace negotiations between warring nations, the bracers will do everything they can to end the issue quickly and effectively.

However, some situations call for a kinder approach than others. Joshua, the adopted son of the famed "S-rank" bracer Cassius Bright, and Estelle, his daughter, must work together to explore the entire Kingdom of Liberl for Cassius Bright after an orbalship carrying him mysteriously vanishes.

And what they learn along the way might change both of their lives in the long run.

This first chapter of the Trails saga, which has been hailed as one of the most extensive, longest, and meticulously detailed turn-based JRPG series ever, serves as the cornerstone of what has already become the most well-known and prosperous franchise in the 30+ year history of Ys creator Nihon Falcom. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky distinguishes itself from its competitors by introducing characters, places, ideas, events, and lore that rival in complexity those of even the most highly regarded fantasy epics in literature. This is made possible by the care and attention given to every NPC, location, and historical in-game event.

Explore Liberl's hidden corners with Estelle, Joshua, Scherazard, Olivier, and the rest of the cast as they create their first 50+ hour masterwork and discover what Japanese gamers have been raving about for more than ten years.
