The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki Lets You Be a Good and a Bad Character

Falcom’s preparations in opening a new chapter through the series The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki (Trails of Black/Darkness) are getting more mature. With the release of the game in Japan which is only three months away, they are now increasingly sharing new details to increase fans’ enthusiasm and provide an overview of content that has never been offered in the previous Trails series. Talking about the new content, today Falcom has shared details about the two new key characters in Kuro no Kiseki and the introduction of the karma system.

The new characters introduced this time are Elaine Auclair and Rene Kincaid who are both 25 years old. Elaine was an elite member of the Calvard Bracer Guild who was nicknamed “Sword Maiden” and had already reached A-rank. Meanwhile, Rene is an agent and assistant who works in the Central Intelligence Department and has been involved in various local issues. These two characters happen to be childhood friends of the main character Van Arkride who takes a freelance job as Spriggan.

Turning to the karma system it carries, Kuro no Kiseki introduces it by the name LGC Alignment. This system provides indicators that are divided into three statuses, namely Law, Chaos, and Gray, all of which can have a different impact on the storyline and game progress depending on the actions taken by Van. In addition to statistical differences, there will be changes in the story scenario that can be broken down into different paths, including companions who will help you in solving problems. For example, if you do your job honestly and well, the Law indicator will go up and give you the option to cooperate with the Bracer Guild, but if Chaos is even higher, your partner will also be filled with suspicious people and fall into the antagonist category in the game. the series. Teammates’ reactions will also be different depending on what decisions you will take at crucial moments.

The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki takes the story setting in the land of Calvard which has finally been freed from the war at Crossbell. In addition to the graphics quality which is much more polished with the new engine, the biggest change from The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki can certainly be seen from the gameplay system. If previously all Trails games only carried turn-based battle gameplay, in this game players will be presented with a real-time action system that is apparently still combined with elements of strategy.

Along with the release of the first trailer, Falcom also shared details of the sales bundle for the SPRIGGAN Edition which is set at 9,800 Yen or around IDR 1.2 million. This edition packaged in a special box offers extra exclusive content in the form of a Mini Soundtrack (with Steel Case), Material Book: “To The Land of Origin and Dawn”, Arkride Solution Office Character Data File, and bonus DLC content to replace the voice of the Xipha device which owned by the player.

The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki itself is scheduled to be released in Japan on September 30, while exclusive for PlayStation 4.
