The rest of the Trails games are already here on GOG, no reason not to have this one here as well! I've got my entire Trails collection on gog and I will only purchase this game day 1 if it's here on GOG.
The Trails in the Sky remake looks incredible and extremely faithful to the original. I may be a new fan, but I’d love to play it and see how it compares to the original.
Unfortunately, there has been no news regarding a GOG release. Every single Trails game is already on GOG. Both Daybreak 2 and Ys vs. Trails in the Sky will also be coming to GOG. Please maintain this tradition by releasing "Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter" on GOG too!
I would gladly buy the highest edition on GOG day one!

Sorry for my bad english
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're reading this go to @GungHo_America on Twitter, find a post about Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, and demand it be brought to GOG in the comments. Together we can do it! Let's go guys!
Every Falcom game with a PC port since 2012 has been released on GoG, most day and date with the Steam release. It's a bad look for GungHo to be the first publisher (out of SIX) in almost a decade and a half to break that streak.
Falcom has it's roots in PC game development and publishing, and their games being available on a DRM-free storefront like GoG's is an important part of honoring that legacy. Falcom themselves even have the games from back when they made their own Windows ports for sale on DLsite, in itch.io-esque DRM-free digital goods storefront.
From what I read, PH3 Games doesn't do the port. Not sure if the original people from Xseed and NISA are involved in translation too. And of course it's only listed on Steam. I'm not sure what to expect in terms of translation and PC port quality.
Hey, at least both Falcom and I will save some money. It's really unfortunate, this is the only upcoming game I'm excited about.
Years ago, while looking on GOG for some good JRPGs (my favorite genre), there were (and still are!) not many to be found and I came to the realization that Japanese developers and publishers don't like the PC platform in general and are so obsessed about "protecting" their game (against piracy, modders...) that the situation was unlikely to improve, and it sure didn't that much.
The only exception to that sad situation is, up to now, Nihon Falcom. No matter who is publishing them, all their games have been made available on GOG, and those past few years all of them on Day 1. I've been vocal on the forum towards NISA and their terrible pricing but at least they had the decency to keep the tradition alive and keep releasing Falcom games here.
I had a lot of great times these past 5 years playing the Trails series, the Ys series and Tokyo Xanadu. Sure, Falcom games are not perfect, far from it actually, they are not masterpieces despite hardcore fans trying to convince the world otherwise but I would say they have a lot of charm, are fun to play and I'm looking forward to continue exploring future Falcom games.
Unfortunately, it appears that Falcom decided to switch to a new publisher (GungHo) for "Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Remake", a publisher that doesn't seem to be willing to release any of their games on GOG. I hope GOG will manage to work their magic and convince this publisher to release here at least whichever Falcom games they have already licensed or will license in the future, but if not and Falcom keeps licensing their games to GungHo, I guess it'll be time for me to part ways with those franchises.
I'm looking forward to the release of "The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon" by NISA later this year and really hope it won't be my last Falcom games.
Love to you all Trails, Ys and Falcom fans on GOG.
