Yes, AFAIK. It's a trilogy. 

You also have to play the the first trilogy first last time I heard before you can play TiTs. I am currently on the process of finishing the first 3 first before I play Tits.

Yes, so much that if you played the first all the way through you will not be happy that this didn't release all these years (till now)

I've already played trails in the sky but i didnt finish it, now i checked and my save have disappeared :( gotta start again!!! damn! and the begining is sooo boring aswell :/

Not for collectors! It's the death of a hobby!

Yeah I remember the pacing being a bit slow in Trails in the sky, like it had some real intense moments followed by some boring moments, I stopped playing around when there were some thugs at some wharf and you had to sort them out lol I think it was the 3rd major city.

I started at TitS on my Vita, never playing a Legend of Heroes game and it is all understandable. Little pieces in the other games maybe hint at things in this one but you don't need to play any of the other titles to play the Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. But to play 2nd Chapter you need to play the first part or you'll be completely lost

Will the saves transfer do you think?

Help?

Yes, I can't see why they wouldn't, aslong as you playing it in the same device you played the first chapter. (Vita? Psp? PC?) I k ow that your level carries over an your weapons not sure what else does.

Oh, I thought the 2nd chapter had different characters in it.
