BONUS - Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Impressions (with Stephen Hilger!)
The Legend of Podcast: Trails through TrailsShow Notes
Technically this episode is about the early hours of the new Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter remake, but you’d be forgiven for thinking we’d woven something else in. For this extra special bonus episode we’re joined by Into the Aether and Memory Card Manuscript’s own Stephen Hilger! We all hung out to chat about 2C, Fortune’s Weave, the voice cast of 2C, Fortune’s Weave, Zelda, fishing redemption, Fortune’s Weave and 2C. It’s hard to stay focused, there’s lots of good games out right now!!

More from The Legend of Podcast: Trails through Trails
Never forget - it's not over 'til it's OVA! For a bit of fun between seasons, we sat down to watch Trails in the Sky: The Animation, the 2011-2012 Original Video Animation made to celebrate Falcom's 30th anniversary. But that's not all! We also invited Mischa Stanton, co-host of the Simple & Clean podcast and audio editrix extraordinaire with the Multitude podcast collective, to watch it with us as their very first exposure to the Trails series. Does this movie make any sense? Does it tell the story of (some of) Trails in the Sky accurately?? And what are YOU willing to do for foley, when the chips are down? We ask all this and more, as we see just how far Mischa's media literacy can get them when dropped into the middle of this goof-ass story.
🎵 As we go on, we remember All the doors we did together 🎶 It's ovah! Sky 3rd! The Sky Trilogy! It's ovah!! One final push to the Lord of Phantasma, then it's time to go home to Liberl. Are we forgetting anybody?
It's almost time to sail off to the big big bad of the game! Now's your last chance to level up, kit out the party, dive into the literal depths of Hell, and explore magical memory doors that dive into some seriously hardcore business.
We've been enjoying all the delicious goodness that Sky the 3rd has to offer for the last few months, and now? It's time to eat our vegetables. It's the Sum Door Sunnary! I mean, the Sun Door Summary. Yeah, that one.
It's time to look to the past, where everything was fine and nobody has a traumatic backstory that informs their personality or personal motivations. It's fine!! Welcome to Literal Hell.
