Is Trails from Zero a prequel game?

No, it is not.

Trails from Zero is the fourth game of Falcom’s ‘Trails series,’ or also known as the ‘Kiseki series.’ People argue that it’s possible to play the games in any order, but it is also agreed that the best experience a player would have with the series is by playing the games in order.

The games for the series that are available are as follows:

  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (available for PC (via Steam/GOG/Humble) and PSP)
  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (available for PC (via Steam/GOG/Humble) and PSP)
