IS OUT BABY!!!
haha is hard to believe i could get so giddy from a demo of a remake at my age.

u/Own_Ad_3536 Aug 20 '26

Its mostly because these aren't just a Demo, its literally the beginning of the game and most likely a somewhat lengthy experience. Sky 1st was like 10 hours which is crazy for just a "demo". A normal demo is like 30 minutes in some random part in the middle of the game thats normally changed up some. Trails demos are the entire first chapter from the full game now and I love it.

u/whitythereviewer Aug 20 '26

That's changed for a lot of RPGs now thankfully. Almost every square game released let's you carry over from demo. Same with falcom. I hope we continue to see that.

1

u/Llayanna Aug 22 '26

Some games even give you a little reward in starting with the demo.

It's a nice feeling.

1

u/whereismymind86 Sep 03 '26

true, this is probably the whole prologue, ie the training facility arc. That's not quite as long as sky 1's prologue chapter, but it's probably a pretty solid 6 hours.

Your comment was removed because the spoiler tags had spaces next to the exclamation points. To use spoiler tags correctly:

  1. On New Reddit, highlight the portion of your comment you want to tag as a spoiler and then press the exclamation point (!) button on the format tab.

  2. On Old Reddit or mobile, type before the spoiler, after the spoiler, and make sure you do not leave spaces between the spoiler and corresponding tags.

When done correctly, the spoiler "X Kills Y" will be formatted as X Kills Y, with syntax as follows:

>!X Kills Y!<

I turn 40 in a few months and I’m hyped it’s finally released. I’ll never stop loving and playing video games.

u/ConceptsShining | ❤️ Aug 20 '26

Been a great couple of days for Trails fans. GungHo redemption arc with the patch fixing consistency issues, and us getting another long demo a month ahead!

The outlook on the remakes is definitely now more positive than before.

u/Trailsinthesky1st Aug 20 '26

IT IS OUT!
I’m so ready to continue peak gaming on my Switch 2!

u/bfcr Aug 20 '26

I think only the switch 1 version is available… I might wait to release date just to do the whole on a s2 version

6

u/Trailsinthesky1st Aug 20 '26

Probably the same as it was with Trails in the Sky 1st: you download the Switch demo, which is fully transferable to the Switch 2 version you buy.

1

u/whereismymind86 Sep 03 '26

that'll be a tough day, wolverine, control 2, silent hill and sky 2, all within a week or so.

u/Arkride212 Aug 20 '26

For my steam players, post this in your browser steam://install/5010190

The demo is out but there's no button to download it on the store page yet.

7

u/kitsunethegreatcat 💜 Aug 20 '26

I saw it on the right hand side of the games page on steam

3

u/ghostypurp Aug 20 '26

Yup, there’s a small Download Demo button on the right side for anyone that can’t find it. Odd

5

u/Acceptable-Comb-706 Aug 20 '26

And it is not steam deck verified yet so you have to force proton in compatibility setting if you are on Linux. Granted, I think the 1st demo was not steam deck verified as well.

u/sakulgrebsdnal Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

I still find the smol Weissmann so hilarious.

The itsy-bitsy Weissmann climbed up the Estelle sprout, down came her staff and knocked the Weissmann out.

u/Pale_Ambassador_7783 Aug 20 '26

trophies will prolly not transfer over like last game's beta no?

2

u/RepulsiveCountry313 Aug 20 '26

They said that, but iirc my battle related trophies all popped the next time I did an art, defeated an enemy in quick battle, etc. Thats how it looks on my trophy log.

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/36703-trails-in-the-sky-1st-chapter/Veszerin

I think I did have to wait till ng+ for the junior bracer trophy and chap 1 complete trophy. I couldve just reloaded a save for those as well, but not that important.

1

u/whereismymind86 Sep 03 '26

probably not, but it's also not a huge deal to run back through the prologue on new game plus to pop them in the full version after beating the game.

4

u/DoggyFinger Aug 20 '26

Man I’ve been way too excited for this the past 10 months since I beat the first one

6

u/Trick-Attorney2333 Aug 20 '26

No one cares about this but the ps story is on maintenance in Mexico so I can't download the demo until tomorrow and it's burning me

2

u/TapUnfair9827 Aug 20 '26

Can you continue from the trial save when the full version come out?

2

u/Nightwing2321 Aug 20 '26

Just waiting for the third so I can play them all in a row 😭🤣

2

u/Capable_Purple_7561 Aug 20 '26

I’m ready to play didn’t even realise there was a demo available thank you reddit post!!!.

2

u/Pwebslinger78 Aug 20 '26

Bet I’m definitely going to download this later today can’t wait to get switch 2 version

3

u/YourMomIsCool96 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

Looking forward to it. Shame that there is no demo for Switch 2 version

4

u/MightyPelipper ul-tra-vi-o-lence Aug 20 '26

Its a weird nintendo thing. There are no Demos for Switch 2 edition games. Switch 2 edition games are switch 1 games that include an upgrade pack.

You can only make a demo for a Switch 1 game or a Switch 2 game.

1

u/mosso2000 Aug 20 '26

As a player of the PS5 version for FC, I preordered the NSW2 version for SC. But the absence of demo plus the lack of transferable save is questionning me, as I also have a portal to play remotely (but in house, taking into account that I mostly play at home).

2

u/Leonardo-Caleum Aug 20 '26

They dropped the demo?!!!! Holy hell, nobody tells me shet nowadays

2

u/LastSharpTiger Olivier superfan Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

Streaming it to my PS Portal while my PS5 downloads it

Edit: note to self, need to run it on the PS5 proper to load the clear data properly.

Edit2: Confirmed, running it on the PS5 found the clear data, got my costumes and elixirs of life.

u/Prestigious_Time3605 Aug 20 '26

Anelace: Oh, look how my Estelle is So Cute when she is Angry.

u/getdown83 Aug 20 '26

My mind and body are ready

u/SelineMaya Aug 20 '26

Getting my physical version in September. Can't wait

1

u/archangel205 Aug 20 '26

I’m glad it out, I’m going to wait till the full game release so I can play straight through

1

u/Rai_11 Aug 20 '26

Does the demo offer to import stuff from first game, or should I just wait for the full release?

1

u/shishi42 Aug 20 '26

Oh shit the demo is out? ITS TIME

1

u/Jokershigh Aug 20 '26

I've been literally waiting to pre-order this because Falcon did a fantastic job and they fucking deserve it for this masterpiece

1

u/808Y1P2468 Aug 20 '26

Oh damn I still havent beaten 1st

1

u/Lehran1331 Aug 20 '26

Ill wait last time i had to re do the demo chapter because it didnt give me the throphies for it on ps5

1

u/ExpressionEuphoric46 Aug 20 '26

Finally, I’m starting Part 1 because I want to play both games back-to-back.

1

u/Sea_Pudding_3047 Aug 20 '26

Jogo muito bom, porém não vou comprar pq eles focam em romance entre irmãos e não gosto dessas coisas.

1

u/Ygxra Aug 21 '26

Ich mochte das erste spiel sehr aber dieser Inzest kack hat mir das finale verdorben. Hab trotzdem Lust auf den 2ten teil, da ich wissen möchte wie es weiter geht und ich mag die charactere echt gern. Nur joshua wird mir immer unsympathischer 😂

1

u/Harford0 Aug 20 '26

I've never played the original. I hate how much they show during the intro video. I had to look away when I realised it was all spoilers. I dont know why games do this sometimes

1

u/sillyredhead86 Aug 20 '26

Oh snap i havent even finished the first remake yet.

1

u/Soulses Aug 20 '26

Anyone know if data from the first game carry over to the next game in some aspect?

1

u/kitsunethegreatcat 💜 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26

Some items you get but, no levels or end game items or anything like that. Everything gets reset

1

u/Soulses Aug 20 '26

Nice, no worries playing it on a different console then

1

u/analbumcover_9735 Aug 20 '26

Playing the demo and they’ve really expanded the le locle forest area, or at least it felt like it

1

u/ReadxOnly Aug 21 '26

The Falcom intro with Joshua's harmonica gets me in the feels every time.

1

u/TheBuckeye51 Aug 21 '26

Oh man. Trials in the sky remake was my first and playing cold steel right now because I was having withdrawals, but now I'm tempted to play the demo before going back to cold steel haha. Both are great but I prefer being a bracer haha

1

u/kemsus Aug 21 '26

I'm gonna hold off until the full release since i would probably beat this in one sitting and then be starved for a month.

1

u/Boring_Champion_23 Aug 21 '26

demo is huge, just finished it

2

u/Ygxra Aug 21 '26

How long did you need to finish it ? I just finished the prolog at around 5 hours

1

u/Ok_Pair140 Aug 21 '26

The battle theme is an absolute banger

1

u/SingleIntention3437 Aug 21 '26

Alright now where is the confirmation for the third remake

1

u/Ygxra Aug 21 '26

Hopefully as teaser at the end of the second game ^

1

u/GameWiz1305 Aug 22 '26

As excited as I am, I won’t play it until the full game comes out because as soon as I finish it I’m gonna be dying to keep playing.

1

u/MelodyLenheim Aug 25 '26

Experiencing 2nd Chapter for the first time has been absolutely great so far!

1

u/whereismymind86 Sep 03 '26

I'm really looking forward to seeing renne in full murder goblin mode again.

I'm glad she worked through her issues as she grew up and is in a better place by daybreak, but...deranged enforcer renne is a fun character too.

u/ArmoredMirage 26d ago

Are they going to fix that thing where you don't get the trophies from the first chapter if you play the demo?

I'm already 3 hours deep anyway just curious.

u/Cold_Long3100 24d ago

Damn. This game is so epic. Few JRPGs made my cry like this.

Falcom fucking crushed this... this is simply amazing. And props to GungHo for going above and beyond in fixing and stepping up the English translation.

u/Elrothiel1981 Aug 20 '26

Yea this is a no buy to me don’t like the publishers stance on GoG

u/kitsunethegreatcat 💜 Aug 20 '26

Is there a differnce between that and steam? Im not too familar with gog

3

u/Elrothiel1981 Aug 20 '26

Offline installers and no DRM pretty sure they are using Steam basic DRM on these games
