From Trails in the Sky to Trails into Reverie, the Trails series' localization history is cruel, unforgiving and not for the faint hearted.

Join me as we explore exactly how the series' localizers were able to turn one niche JRPG for the PSP to a flourishing and successful franchise among the JRPG community. This video will explore how the series' localizers achieved the impossible by localizing 10 gigantic Trails games, all of which posed great challenges, in the span of 12 years.

If you enjoyed this video, it would mean the world to me if you subscribed to my channel. I'd also love to know your thoughts on anything Trails (please keep it spoiler-free for others who might stumble across it) and its insane localization history in the comments. Let me know at what point in the history you were introduced to Trails, and if you've been around since the beginning like I have, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the whirlwind that was Second Chapter's localization.

Important Note: In consideration of the sensitivity of the topics in this video, I've purposely avoided referencing SpaceDrake's real name. Although the information I speak to is publicly available, I have referred to him via his online handle.
