[iPhone] New Trails Game?

[Serge]

This will not be the same game as what was released on the Playstation Portable, as the iPhone and PSP are different platforms, you can’t treat them as the same. Going to a new platform, you will need a new and different experience. This will allow them to be able to fill in the gaps with the series world view.

From what I get on the article, it sounds like this will probably take place sometime after 3rd (the story between FC, SC, and 3rd is so tight-knit), and help tie together more elements of Zero no Kiseki.

The original article didn’t have any concrete information but said that this version would have social and online elements added to it. Examples that Taka included were special moves with friends, or giving/receiving items to and from friends. For social elements, having shops- selling weapons and armor sounds like a plausible plan. Then through the lobby, perhaps getting friends to join you on quests and the like.

They won’t be able to bring the graphics straight over from the PSP version, as the PSP has a smaller resolution than the iPhone and the graphics would either not fill the screen or would not look good. They have been considering how to handle it in horizontal or vertical modes.

That's interesting. So we won't be able to play FC on smartphone. But we can play this if SC and TC will be released!

I have a question for XSEED: did you guys know anything about that?

I think thats the same Kiseki iPhone game Aeria announced earlier this year, and that that being the description of that game.

I will get it when Aeria releases the English version.

Edit: Since its between TC and Zero, that creates questions I have regarding the story in this game.

[Serge]

Yeah it is... but I couldn't find the thread so I started a new one.
I think there's already a manga or anime that explains the story between the two series, but I'm waiting someone who's played every Kiseki game to comment on this thread.

We knew it existed, of course, but we have no business connection to Aeria's phone game whatsoever. It's all between them and Falcom!

I see... you're right! But you could tell us that it were not a FC port on iPhone, couldn't you?
I hope you will do the localization work, I'm not sure if they could do a good work.

Well, maybe I'll buy it if SC and 3rd ever get released in English

Yeah, I hope that too!

I have a question: isn't that part of plot between Third Chapter and Zero explained on an anime or manga?

Well, there is a 'Zero prestory' manga that takes place after 3rd, but it really only focuses on Estelle and Joshua and it's really a small bit of story. There's a LOT that goes on in 3rd that isn't around the two of them. In fact, Estelle's one of the last characters to rejoin the party in 3rd.

The big thing to remember is that they're no longer the protagonists in 3rd. That's Kevin and Ries. Then you have all these memory doors that let you learn about the backgrounds of the other party members. (The other 14 party members, in fact. 3rd has 16 playable characters at the end.)

Lets just hope the translation is acceptable or on par with xseeds......

Wait, this is a new game in the series or a remake of an existing one? I read this but I guess I didn't catch the part where it said it is a new game.

[KnightofAncient]

Its a new game being developed and published by Aeria for iOS.

[The Shadow Court]

Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification, KnightofAncient. Will need to add that to my Wikia if it's part of the Kiseki canon.
