Satoshi Ookami Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 but, trains of cold steel.. serious? they should have left the sen no kiseki.. but whatever ┐('～`；)┌ Why the name Trails of Cold Steel? Longtime fans of the series know the game as Sen no Kiseki, which roughly means something like, “The paths/trails of a flash/flicker.” It’s typically meant to represent that glint you see on a blade being drawn as it catches the light. It’s clearly not a very easy word to render in English and still make sense with the current “Trails” moniker, so we dismissed the more literal “Trails of a Flash” and other similar titles rather quickly. I suggested Trails of Cold Steel for several reasons: • The story is based around Thors Military Academy, a place in Erebonia where many young political upstarts balance school life and war tactics as part of their daily curriculum. Conflict and weapons are something of a theme in Cold Steel, and I wanted words which were specifically reminiscent of steel blades. • The term “Sen” is a fairly serious word—"Steel" alone wouldn’t have set the right tone, but “Cold Steel” together helps reflect the strain of Erebonia’s intensely classist, military powerhouse society. • Being a big fan of the Trails series myself, I’ve bought every single soundtrack related to the series. Even before we had the rights to Cold Steel, I’d bought the soundtrack. Hell, I bought it day one! And the main battle theme (which is a killer track, I might add) is called “The Glint of Cold Steel.” The second I saw it, I thought, “Well, that has quite a nice ring to it!” • When Ken and I were in Falcom’s office and proposed the English title, they immediately smiled and said, “Actually, we once considered using the word ‘Steel’ in the title ourselves, so that’s perfect. We like it.” So, there you have it. As of now, the official English name of Sen no Kiseki, completely endorsed by the original developers themselves, is Trails of Cold Steel. Am I well informed or what? xDD I also think that Cold Steel would work for something like Reitetsu, but... it's XSEED, they can do it Sorry, never heard of it. UGAAAA! How could you?! Such a waste! Immediately buy TiTS It definitely looks good though, it's turn-based, right? Yep, turn-based in all its glory =) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
