The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure is an isometric turn-based JRPG in the The Legend of Heroes series, developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America.
The game is an enhanced version of The Legend of Heroes: Ao no Kiseki, based off the Kai remaster, originally released in Japan for PlayStation 4 in 2020. This game serves as the second and final entry in the Crossbell subseries.
The Western release of the PC port was handled by PH3 Games and features a number of enhancements carried over from their work on Trails from Zero, such as support for framerates higher than 60 FPS, native support for various aspect ratios and resolutions, including ultrawide and ultratall monitors, and enhanced graphical options such as dynamic shadows and an improved water shader. Several quality-of-life additions have also been added, such as autosaves, a high-speed mode, and the implementation of a message log.[1]
The game was released on January 12, 2022, in Asian territories on Steam, and internationally on multiple storefronts on March 14, 2023.
