While Nihon Falcom generally finds it tricky to handle simultaneous global releases and Steam ports on its own, being a remake, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter presented the studio with a rare opportunity to commit to the endeavor. “We felt that if we didn’t do a simultaneous worldwide release now, then when would we ever do it?” That said, the workload involved was still quite challenging for Nihon Falcom. Thankfully, it seems to have paid off.

So does that mean we see more of them now?

It's sounded like it. I imagine the next game in the Trails series after Horizon will be simultaneous release, especially since NISA won't have the backlog of Trails games anymore.

Of course, I'm assuming they aren't just handing the series over to GungHo. Who knows what'll happen there.
