Falcom has released new character details for sub characters Zin Vathek, Fie Claussell, and Shizuna Rem Misurugi in The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki (Trails of Black), the latest chapter in the (Kiseki) series.
Fie Claussell (voiced by Hisako Kanemoto)
Age: 20
Height: 162cm
Weapon: Dual Gunblades
“I acted within the guilds guidelines, and didn’t cross any international pacts… just barely…”
A B-rank bracer from the Imperial Bracer Guild with the nickname “Sylphid.”
She comes from the Empire in response to the increasing number of issues within the Republic both small and large to help solve the shortage of manpower.
During her youth she acted as a jaeger in the jaeger corps Zephyr and has excellent physical and combat skills.
While she has a cool atmosphere around her, she can be surprisingly friendly, and often throws jokes at Elaine, her honors student-esque senior bracer.
Shizuna Rem Misurugi (voiced by Maaya Uchida)
Age: 23
Height: 170cm
Weapon: Jet Black Katana
“No, I cannot withdraw. I can see it now, the state of zero, and what lies beyond!”
The lieutenant captain of “Ikaruga,” a samurai group headquartered somewhere in the continent’s ruined east.
While she has a playful atmosphere and dazzling looks, she is also known as “Divine Blade of Silver” and is a master of the “Black God One Blade.”
She usually wears the latest power suit and wields a jet black odachi that has been passed down in the east as a “treasured sword.”
While her face may retain the innocence of a young woman, her expression changes into one that befitting of the name “Divine Blade” when she encounters a strong opponent.
Her fighting style resembles the Eight Leaves One Blade style, the magna opus of Eastern swordsmanship that “Sword Hermit” Yun Ka-fai developed, but….
Van Arkride (voiced by Daisuke Ono)
Agnes Claudel (voiced by Miku Itou)
Feri Al-Fayed (voiced by Yui Ogura)
Aaron Wei (voiced by Yuuma Uchida)
Risette Twinnings (voiced by Yui Ishikawa)
Quatre Salison (voiced by Mutsumi Tamura)
Beyond the blue sky, ahead of a flashing light, a land of dawning resides—.
This latter half of the Trails series is about to begin! The setting moves to the Calvard Republic—.
In 2021, Falcom will release The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, the latest entry in the Trails series, as its 40th anniversary commemorative work.
The Calvard Republic is a multiethnic nation experiencing unprecedented economic growth brought about by postwar reparations. In a corner of the capital of a huge nation where immigration issues bring about political instability and a new president is pushing for radical reform, a young man who works as a “Spriggan” (Underground Fixer) receives a peculiar job, which eventually develops into a situation that shakes the entire nation of Calvard.
The command-style AT (Action Time) battle system used in previous Trails titles has been revamped! Seamlessly transition from action-oriented field battles to turn-based command battle systems while making use of the unique elements of the sixth generation combat orbment “Xipha” in a battle system evolved from the previous Trails titles.
Kuro no Kiseki will feature many original elements that utilize its setting, including a “Topics” system that enables you to gather intel (topics) by communicating with NPCs throughout towns to create situations in your favor when you act as a Spriggan; and an “Alignment Flames” system in which your character’s three alignments (“Lawful,” “Gray,” and “Chaotic”) fluctuate depending on your play style, influencing various statuses, allies and adversaries, and even scenario developments.
Please look forward to The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki, the latest entry in the Trails series, depicted in rich expression by Falcom’s new original engine!
PROLOGUE
Spriggans—a kind of “underground profession” born from the melting pot of diversity that is the Calvard Republic.
Some days as detectives, some days as negotiators, and other days as bounty hunters, they are up for any job from any client. That includes cases even the police are unable to handle and issues citizens cannot discuss in public, as well as “honest” work from criminals and underground organizations.
That was the style of the “underground fixers,” as they were called.
S.1208. A schoolgirl wearing the uniform of a prestigious school visits an rundown building located in the old town of the Republic’s capital.
“The Arclide Fixer Agency.”
With a dignified gaze, the girl glances at the cold typography of a slate that bears this name.
She swallows her breath and knocks three times with determination.
…
“Yaaawn, well a client before noon is rare…”
The mature, yet young; sloppy, yet composed voice of a man echoes as the doorknob slowly turned.
—This is the beginning of a new Trails.
Kuro no Kiseki which will launch for PS4 on September 30 in Japan.
CHARACTERS:
Zin Vathek (voiced by Tetsu Inada)
Age: 36
Height: 198cm
Weapon: Gauntlets and Boots
“You should loosen up a bit, it ruins your beauty.”
Age: 36
Height: 198cm
Weapon: Gauntlets and Boots
“You should loosen up a bit, it ruins your beauty.”
A semi S-rank bracer who crowns the nickname “Immovable” and acts as a leader of the Calvard Bracer Guild.
He is a large Eastern man as tall as two arges, as well as a master of Taito style martial arts, which is one of the three major Eastern martial arts.
He contributed to the resolution of the “Liberl Phenomenon,” “D.:.G Cult Incident,” and many other major incidents, and acted as a core member of alliance operations in the World War two years ago.
His actions led to an immediate ceasefire, which led him to be recommended to be promoted to S-rank, but he declined and remains semi S-rank for the time being.
While tensions between fellow students continue—with his junior Taito style disciple occupying a key position in the CID, and senior disciple maintaining an eerie silence at the Ouroboros society—he has high hopes for promising junior bracer Elaine and watches over her growth, but she can be stubborn at times.
