I know next to nothing about Trails, but it's surprising to hear it's coming to an end. It's hard to imagine Falcom without Trails.
Also seriously, find a different publisher if you want simultaneous worldwide releases.

From what I understand, Trails always had a planned story, so it was always going to come to a conclusion. But the whole Trails series is just a sub-series of The Legend of Heroes (itself, a sub-series of Dragon Slayer, if you consider that a series). The original Trails in the Sky was already preceded by five other Legend of Heroes games, including the "Gagharv trilogy," which influenced the Trails series. So, even after Trails comes to an end, I could see Falcom creating a spiritual successor under the Legend of Heroes name.

Here's some interesting new info on the Trails in the Sky the 1st remake from Gematsu. Game is planned for launch worldwide in 2025. According to a Falcom representative: There are also more English screenshots in the Gematsu article. I wonder if Falcom purchased the rights to Xseed Games' localization. Also, if Falcom publishes the game themselves in Western regions, I wonder if this is part of their effort to move closer to simultaneous worldwide launches for future games.
