- Linkara: It's not a bad comic today. As I said last time, it's a Patreon-sponsored review of something that is decidedly not a comic. It's a JRPG! And hey, I'm well-known for my opinions about JRPGs, like "Pokemon" and, um... "Pokemon"!
- Linkara: The Legend of Heroes series is one of those things that the Angry Video Game Nerd would make a "Chronologically Confused" video about if he actually played these sort of things. The games are developed by the company Nihon Falcom, and the first two were actually part of a completely different series of games called "Dragon Slayer", with said games being called "Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I" and "II". For reasons that I couldn't find, it's spun off into its own series, "The Legend of Heroes". You might think it was because it focused on different characters in the "Dragon Slayer" games, but nope! Of course, the sequels exist within their separate sets of continuities, so, like "Final Fantasy", they just shoved the name on them for brand recognition, despite the fact that they really have nothing to do with one another. And once these games were brought to the U.S., it was decided to rename them in the same kind of asinine way "Final Fantasy" was; hence, why, in Japan, there's "Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I" and "II", then "The Legend of Heroes III", while in America, we have the first "Dragon Slayer" game, and then "The Legend of Heroes III" becomes "The Legend of Heroes II". Oh, but despite this being the mid-2000s, and they're releasing ten-year-old games, they had to do it out of order. So the American version of "Legend of Heroes IV" was released before the American version of "Legend of Heroes III", although without a number attached to it. Once the fifth game arrived, they called that "Legend of Heroes III". Oh, did I not mention that? Yeah, the second game of one trilogy came out before the first. Smooth. "Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II" never got an English release, but I assume, at this point, that if they did release it, they'd call it "Zombie 9". Then, when they reached the next one, the one were looking at today, "Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky", they just abandoned the numbering concept for the American release and just called each individual game in a subseries their own number within it.
