Interview with Falcom's CEO, Toshihiro Kondo, on Trails into Reverie, Trails series in the West, and future plans

Kondo says that Trails' success in the West wasn't expected ten years ago and tells about how Falcom managed to handle 50-ish playable characters in Trails into Reverie in terms of both gameplay (a dungeon for leveling, and a feature to automatically equip quartz) and story (by introducting three story lines with the ability to instantly swap between them at any time).

Also he teases Ys X and a project in the works which is neither Trails not Ys. (Judging by recent Twitter rumors, it might be a new Tokyo Xanadu)

Kondo tends to give a series of pretty similar interviews to English gaming media, so you can basically read one of them and skip the rest.

With the start of Ys8, i got a big fan of Falcom and their work. Hope we close the game between the japanese and the global release more and more.
