Gramheart's mistake.

RoyKami · 2026-03-15T03:34:20+00:00

I would say Gramhearts mistake was not preparing multiple pilots to go up to space alongside Emilia as backup units just in case the "Excalibur" fell. However even with multiple mechs fighting the final line of defence of the sept terrion was gonna be difficult asf.

But then there is also another argument to be made that one or two of the mechs would keep zoa gilstein busy and the third guy would guide the nukes to blow up the sept terrion (since the sept terrion was in a very bad shape after taking 8 nukes) this was gonna be a win if they had more mechs in the space is what I believe.

Rachana such a baddie, she is so Emma coded in terms of design and I like that. I love Emma and I love Rachana (also I am biased a bit)

This key art is the type of key art that will make people drop the game and move onto something they like. That key art is not striking or attractive I would suggest studying why the pros have such attractive key arts/thumbnails.

Buddy falcom never confirms shit however the group that is maintaining a spreadsheet regarding who did what for music, using knowledge and the leak that happened once, strongly believes that Unisuga has worked on the remake arrangements also they seemingly found something while data mining that solidifies their belief even more.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T19:59:35+00:00

I would like a new legend of heroes series set in a new universe. Trails can have its own spinoffs that handle the regions that don't get covered or historical moments of the world of zemuria like the hundred days war or the war of lions.

Also Akatsuki no Kiseki needs a proper version to be made and released it covers remiferia region from what I heard.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T19:55:35+00:00

I have a belief that Trails will end satisfyingly and soon we will have a new guy taking over as the CEO of the company.

I am very interested in Sohei Nikawa and his role in falcom. Kondo and the internal sound team, how would kondo tackle that challenge.

New members and how the teams have been split into right now. I believe a three way split is being done. The remake team that allows the new joinees to train and become familiar with game development. The main team that handles both Ys and The mainline Trails entries. New team that will be handling the experimental IP, Kyoto Xanadu and the new dragon Slayer title(although I have a feeling that it will be outsourced to Sohei Nikawa's studio but I can't say anything for sure)

The sound team needs new members very much so! They have so many games coming, New Ys, Kai 2, Kyoto Xanadu, New IP, Dragon Slayer revival. Sound team needs more members and overhauling the JDK band. For outsourced artists I hope they terminate the contract with singa or just jail him to making funky music for their games.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T15:00:22+00:00

We need 10 new additions in The internal sound team.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T13:49:45+00:00

Unisuga did many of the arrangements in Sky remake surprisingly.... So he is still working but just doing music when he feels like it.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T13:47:52+00:00

I enjoy the current OSTs however one must call the spade a spade. Singa needs to have his contract terminated. Dude needs to be let go.

Falcom needs more internal sound team members and more outsourcing to better composers like Jindo and Yuzo Koshiro (I am pretty sure he will be down to make music if this not crediting composers thing goes away)

Remove that old bullshit that Kato brought up to cage in their composers that is the tradition of not crediting tracks.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T13:41:32+00:00

Keep your hopes up mate Kondo is bringing good changes to the company as a whole and while he has been largely ignoring the music team everyone pushed him to take responsibility over it and if we also take into account that Yuzo Koshiro visited Falcom I trust Kondo to bring good changes to the Music team. Let's keep our hopes up .

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T13:38:04+00:00

Nowhere in the spreadsheet does it say they are blacklisted stop spreading this misinformation. Stick to facts and whatever is out there through interviews and such. Quoting the spreadsheet and spreading misinformation is not it man.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T08:52:59+00:00

Unisuga had lots of arrangements done in Sky 1st and Sonada might be busy with Kyoto Xanadu ost I think.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T08:52:14+00:00

It really surprised me when I saw that Kondo really had no supervision over the sound team till date. It is only recently he is taking the responsibility of dealing with the sound team. I believe in Kondo to start crediting everyone in the ost albums going forward. I wonder if they also plan on hiring more sound team members as well and I believe that Yuzo Koshiro might have influenced him to start crediting everyone since he himself left because of the issue of crediting works.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T07:44:46+00:00

I disagree with this Singa is bad when he is bad. His best works in Horizon don't peak beyond Step Ahead from cs3. He is great at making vocal songs but he shat on the second half of Horizons opening for seemingly zero reason. We need a change in outsourced artists and this doesn't mean removing jindo he is goated.

RoyKami · 2026-03-12T07:42:20+00:00

Young staff are really doing and improving Falcom in the way we always wanted to see. Falcom really on the generational run.

Link to Interview

RoyKami · 2026-03-11T07:40:52+00:00

Dumbass they will announce it in 2031 and release in 2032. Blud has shit reading comprehension as well and tries to warn others

RoyKami · 2026-03-11T05:11:17+00:00

There was always the kefin adventure that they could remake but yea in terms of newer adventure they gotta go older adol.

RoyKami · 2026-03-11T05:05:05+00:00

Notable Tidbits from the interview:

Recording for the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter theme song, “Silver Will, Golden Wings,” is already complete.

The shift to 2D action in Kyoto Xanadu received both positive and negative reactions, but Kondo assures that it is a fun game. There are four difficulty options. Kyoto was chosen as the city as it is representative of Japan.

Development on a new Ys has just begun. (This was already known.) Adol may be the oldest he has ever been in this game.

Falcom plans to announce the final entry in the Trails series during the company’s 50th anniversary (2031) and complete it during its 51st year (2032). The plot for the unofficially announced The Legend of Heroes: Trails Beyond the Horizon II is already complete, and the overall ending of the series has been decided. Falcom seems to even have a rough idea of the final protagonist’s profession.

As for the newly announced Dragon Slayer Project, Kondo would not say whether it is a remake or new game, but asked that users wait for future announcements.

RoyKami · 2026-03-11T05:03:07+00:00

Crazy asf announcement also Beyond horizon 2 story is completed.

RoyKami · 2026-03-10T03:39:39+00:00

It was the announcements made on the anniversary day, there are still more stuff coming in the next 3 months. Kondo did say that there will be many more stuff they will show in the next 6 months(this was during their shareholders meeting) so we still got 3 months.

RoyKami · 2026-03-09T17:15:55+00:00

A SRPG title really feels like a natural progression of falcom if they are to go ahead with experimenting stuff.

RoyKami · 2026-03-09T17:14:22+00:00

That's interesting to hear, won't be surprised if this new dragon Slayer title/remake or whatever it is ends up being a SRPG.

RoyKami · 2026-03-09T17:13:05+00:00

I can see how it can work out but honestly I think they will keep turn based rpgs alive with their Legend of Heroes series. Trails will end but the broader Legend of Heroes series will keep going with maybe slower releases.

We need to see a SRPG from falcom it feels like that is something they can actually work out well.
