The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II [PlayStation 3]

Gamers try to end a civil war between the Noble Alliance and the Imperial Army in Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 2 from Xseed Games for the Sony PS3.

Players take control of the katana-wielding Rean Schwarzer as he and his metallic humanoid companion Valimar travel across Erebonia finding and forming bonds with allies from Thors Military Academy's Class VII, engaging in turn-based combat, and taking on leisure activities like cooking, fishing, and snowboarding. At a certain point during the story players will acquire the airship Courageous which will serve as a home base and allow for faster travel.

Features:

• Data from Trails of Cold Steel on PS3 carries over, granting bonus stats and extra items, and remembers the many relationships cultivated to allow for more personalized conversations throughout the story.
• Bonding with allies nets combat benefits including healing, guarding, and more, while new Overdrive mode allows linked characters to attack up to 3 turns in a row for new strategic battle options.
• Find and recruit dozens of fellow Thors attendees who are now scattered across the country to gain exclusive shops, goods, training modes, systems, and more.
• Personalized airship allows players to swiftly descend upon familiar and foreign destinations, and travel on land is faster than ever between horseback riding and Angelica's customizable orbal bike.
