Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter – Ver. 1.07 (Legacy Patch)
- Release date: August 17th/18th 2026
- Patch notes:
Localization Update Overview
- Updated certain English voice and text to reflect legacy terminology
- Updated certain English voice to reflect legacy pronunciations
- Updated English UI and system text to reflect legacy terminology
- Updated French and German text for increased accuracy and consistency
- Updated certain voice and text lines to fix grammatical errors and improve dialogue flow
Adjusted English Terminology
Several major terms have been adjusted to align with terminology used in later titles in the series. Our overall goal with these updates was to align key in-game terminology and pronunciations with other titles in the Trails series. However, with the upcoming release of 2nd Chapter, we also felt it was important to preserve the experience of players who started the series with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter as much as possible. With that goal in mind, terminology and character names exclusive to the Trails in the Sky games have been largely left unchanged.
A notable exception is the names of the Tetracyclic Towers, as these locations play a pivotal role in the story of 2nd Chapter, and thus have been adjusted to match the original games.
Updated Terminology
Quartz
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| Arts Defense | Shield |
| Sweet Aroma | Scent |
| Heat Haze | Haze |

Certain in-game graphic assets have also been updated to reflect the above changes.
Adjusted English Voice Pronunciations
The following pronunciations have been adjusted:
- Liberl
- Calvard
- Zin
- Loewe
- Hamel
- Auslese
- Zemuria
The above changes will also be reflected in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter.
Please note that while we have updated most of the affected voice lines, a small number could not be revised and will remain as they are. We appreciate your understanding.
Other Adjusted English Terminology
- “Blade-Type” quartz names have been renamed to use the names of the status ailments they inflict, matching later entries in the series.
- “Shield-Type” quartz names have been renamed to “Guard-Type” quartz to avoid confusion with the quartz Shield (formerly Arts Defense).
Adjusted French and German Terminology
Minor adjustments were made to French and German for consistency and accuracy. Updated terminology is as follows:
French
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| golem orbal | archétype |
| la grand-route d’Elise | la grand-route d’Elize |
German
