The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III (
The game was released on September 28, 2017 on PlayStation 4. Publisher NIS America published the game in North America and Europe on October 22, 2019, and in Australia on October 29, 2019.
Synopsis
Setting
Approximately one year and a half after the 에레보니아 제국 내전, Erebonia annexed 노던브리아, making Erebonia far larger than its rival, the Republic of Calvard. Meanwhile, the Imperial government has centralised its power and the provinces once ruled by the 사대명문 suffer new problems in their weakened state of disarray. 우로보로스 finally moves again in the shadows; they align their plans with the movements of 엽병s in 칼바드.
With the enrolment of Crown Prince 세드릭 라이제 아르노르, 토르즈 사관학교 has transformed into a full-fledged military academy. Children of the (former) 사대명문 and foreigners are accepted at its branch school in the City of 리브스 in West Erebonia.
The principal of the 토르즈 제II분교 is 오렐리아 르귄. The school offers three classes: Class VII for Special Operations under Instructor 린 슈바르처, Class VIII as the Combat Tactics under Instructor 랜돌프 올랜도, and Class IX as the Military Finance under Instructor 토와 허셜.

- Main article: List of Trails of Cold Steel III characters
Main characters
- 린 슈바르처 (20): Graduate of 토르즈 사관학교's experimental VII반 and current Instructor at the 토르즈 제II분교. As the 기동자 of 기신 발리마르, he was hailed as the Ashen Chevalier, the hero who ended the 에레보니아 제국 내전.
- 유나 크로포드 (17): Inspired by the 특무지원과 and powered by a strong sense of justice, Juna decided to enroll at Thors Branch Campus to learn more about the Empire that annexed her homeland 크로스벨.
- 쿠르트 반다르 (17): Born into the prestigious 반다르 가문, Kurt was forced to pursue a new path in life after Chancellor Osborne ended the family's guardianship of the 제국 황가. Following his brother's advice, he enrolled at Thors Branch Campus.
- 알티나 오라이온 (est. 14): Agent of the Intelligence Division under the codename "Black Rabbit". She was tasked to enroll at Thors Branch Campus in order to keep an eye on her Instructor, 린 슈바르처.
- 애시 카바이드 (17): Raised in the slums of 에레보니아's pleasure district, Ash rallied a team to fight brigands plundering his hometown during the civil war. Turning down offers from the Imperial Army and 유격사 협회, he followed the advice to enroll at Thors Branch Campus.
- 뮤제 이그리트 (16): Daughter of Count Egret, dropped out of 성 아스트라이아 여학교 due to circumstances and enrolled at 토르즈 제II분교, where she is known for her good grades and attempts to seduce Rean.
Mechanics
Trails of Cold Steel III replaces the traditional ring command system during battles with a direct command system, in which the directional and action buttons are directly linked to battle actions. It is also the first game in the Kiseki series (not the first Legend of Heroes game[1]) to feature seamless transitions between overworld and battles.
Break System
Trails of Cold Steel III introduces the Break system, which allows players to break through an enemy's defence to inflict greater damage. Each enemy now has a parameter for their breakability, displayed during battles as a 'Break Gauge'. When this gauge is depleted during battles, the enemies enter a 'Break' state until their next attack turn. A broken enemy grants the players the following benefits:
- Damage to the target is increased
- Items are dropped upon entering 'Break state'
- Any parameter boosts on the target are cancelled
- Target becomes completely unbalanced

Brave Order
- Main article: List of Brave Orders (Cold Steel III)
Trails of Cold Steel III adds a new use for Brave Points, which were first introduced in 섬의 궤적 to perform link attacks between two or more characters. The new feature Brave Order (directional button up) allows characters to execute party-wide orders for a specific number of counts or turns.[2]
Style Change


Juna Crawford is the only party member in Trails of Cold Steel III who make use of Style Change (directional button right). She can switch between Striker Mode and Gunner Mode.
In Striker Mode, she uses her gunbreakers as if they are batons and attacks close-range. In Gunner Mode, her stats are lowered, but she can target multiple enemies at once from a distance.
Development
Announcement
Trails of Cold Steel III was first mentioned as "the next installment of the Sen no Kiseki series" by Falcom president 콘도 토시히로 in an interview with Dengeki PlayStation in May 2015. During Falcom's annual investor's meeting in December 2015, the tentative logo was revealed and confirmed that the game was in development.[3]
Shortly after the release of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana in July 2016, Kondo was featured another interview with Dengeki PlayStation in which he described the development stage of Trails of Cold Steel III as "heavily underway". He also mentioned that while the game is primarily developed for PlayStation 4, a port for PlayStation Vita (similar to how its predecessors were ported from PlayStation 3 to PlayStation Vita) is a technical possibility. The question as to whether 린 슈바르처 will return as the protagonist of the game, Kondo simply stated that the protagonist and outline of the story had been decided.
Teases

On August 10, 2016, Falcom posted on Twitter that fans should "look carefully as [Tokyo Xanadu eX+ protagonist] Kou runs through the Star Camera",[4] which upon analysis reveals the first key visual of Trails of Cold Steel III. The picture features Rean Schwarzer in his 영웅전설 섬의 궤적 III attire, holding his tachi in front of him. A reflection of Azure Siegfried can be seen mirrored behind him.
In an interview regarding Tokyo Xanadu eX+'s upcoming release with Famitsu Weekly, Kondo stated that Trails of Cold Steel III will become a milestone in the series, with characters from the Liberl and 크로스벨 편 making their reappearance, called it a leap forward compared to previous titles and said the scenario will be enormous.

In Falcom's advertisement for their annual Winter Fair,[5] they prominently portrayed 알리사 라인폴트's new design for Trails of Cold Steel III. In the background, the 유격사 협회 sign of the East Street in 크로스벨 can be seen, revealing that Crossbell will be featured in the game. The sett on the street seem to have been replaced with asphalt.
