Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Patch Updates Terminology With Revised Text and Voice Acting

GungHo has announced Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Version 1.07; the new free update is available on all platforms, and revises the in game text and voice acting to remain consistent with the rest of the series.

The updates to the terminology will also be reflected in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter.

Update 1.07:

Localization Update Overview

Updated certain English voice and text to reflect legacy terminology
Updated certain English voice to reflect legacy pronunciations
Updated English UI and system text to reflect legacy terminology
Updated French and German text for increased accuracy and consistency
Updated certain voice and text lines to fix grammatical errors and improve dialogue flow

Adjusted English Terminology

Several major terms have been adjusted to align with terminology used in later titles in the series. Our overall goal with these updates was to align key in-game terminology and pronunciations with other titles in the Trails series. However, with the upcoming release of 2nd Chapter, we also felt it was important to preserve the experience of players who started the series with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter as much as possible. With that goal in mind, terminology and character names exclusive to the Trails in the Sky games have been largely left unchanged.

A notable exception is the names of the Tetracyclic Towers, as these locations play a pivotal role in the story of 2nd Chapter, and thus have been adjusted to match the original games.

The above changes will also be reflected in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter.

Please note that while we have updated most of the affected voice lines, a small number could not be revised and will remain as they are. We appreciate your understanding.

Other Adjusted English Terminology

“Blade-Type” quartz names have been renamed to use the names of the status ailments they inflict, matching later entries in the series.
“Shield-Type” quartz names have been renamed to "Guard-Type” quartz to avoid confusion with the quartz Shield (formerly Arts Defense).

Minor adjustments were made to French and German for consistency and accuracy. Updated terminology is as follows:

French
Old - New
