Taking place on the same continent as the fan favorite Trails in the Sky offshoot of Nihon Falcom’s storied The Legend of Heroes franchise, Trails of Cold Steel (Sen no Kiseki in Japanese) is the first in the series to tread Erebonian soil and explore the inner political conflicts of this oft-mentioned powerhouse nation in detail. Delve into the expansive lore that has become synonymous with the series, enjoy school life and bond with fellow students to earn new abilities in battle, take advantage of speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed “ARCUS” system, and uncover dramatic events that stand to change everything these two opposing social classes stand for.

Like a guest from early 2000’s, this game uses uncompressed WAV files for audio, and they take 6.4 GB of disk space. If you think that it’s an overkill, you can download and install lossy audio files. I encoded them with state-of-the-art Opus audio codec, with variable bitrate from 64 Kbps (mono) to 128 Kbps (stereo). The same encoder I used in my Black Ops 3 repack and ~90% of users couldn’t distinguish original audio from Opus-encoded. But of course, decision is yours.

You can skip downloading of voice and videos files you don’t need and multiplayer files you can’t use anyway. Here is the list of selective/optional files.

• setup-fitgirl-optional-japanese-videos.bin (videos for Japanese game version)
• setup-fitgirl-selective-lossless.bin
• setup-fitgirl-selective-lossless-english.bin
• setup-fitgirl-selective-lossless-japanese.bin
• setup-fitgirl-selective-lossy.bin
• setup-fitgirl-selective-lossy-english.bin
• setup-fitgirl-selective-lossy-japanese.bin

In example, if you want to launch the game with lossless Japanese voiceovers – skip all “selective/optional” files, but download setup-fitgirl-selective-lossless.bin, setup-fitgirl-selective-lossless-japanese.bin & all main files (01-04).
