The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

Peace is but a memory.

In the wake of the Noble Faction’s occupation of Heimdallr, civil war has broken out across Erebonia. The provincial armies, loyal to the aristocracy and the Four Great Houses, have claimed many of the nation’s great cities in the name of the Noble Alliance. The Imperial Army, called back from the four corners of the Empire, has only just begun its sweeping counterattack.

After Rean managed to escape Trista with Celine and Valimar, he awakens in the mountains near his hometown uncertain what fate befell his friends, who bravely threw themselves in harm’s way to buy him time to flee.

Though the road will not be an easy one, Rean decides to take up his sword again, journeying across Erebonia with his Divine Knight, Valimar, in search of his friends from Class VII and a way to end the conflict before its price becomes far too dear…

  
Taking place on the same continent as the fan favorite Trails in the Sky
offshoot of Nihon Falcom’s storied The Legend of Heroes franchise, Trails of
Cold Steel II (Sen no Kiseki II in Japanese) is a direct sequel to Trails of
Cold Steel, picking up one month after the decisive collision that changed the
fate of the entire nation of Erebonia. The speedy, tactical turn-based combat
with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system returns with all the bells and
whistles together with the new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation
both across the land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of
hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to
disarray.
