How does this play on keyboard?

I'm seriously wanting to pick this up, but I want to know if it's well optomized for kb/mouse first.

Very well optimized, you can play solely with the mouse or the keyboard or mostly mouse and keyboard for shortcuts to menus.

Alright, thanks. I'm always a little wary of console ports because sometimes they're very poorly optimized, nice to know this one isn't like that.

I tried out both control schemes, and actually prefer k+m. Its default set-up is very intuitive, but you can change keybinds to better suit however you personally like things.

FYI, it's native to PC.

The PSP version is the port, actually.

All the Falcom games on Steam are native to PC, despite being in genres that people usually associate with consoles/handhelds. That means Legend of Heroes games, Ys games, and Gurumin.

Alright, that's nice to know. I assumed this was a port of the PSP/PS3 versions, not the original Windows version. Very odd to me that it does not feature the Japanese language support of the originals but I'll take what I can get.

This is basically an udpated version of the Windows version. Some of the features of the console/handheld versions (seriously is there one word that covers both?) were included in this version, such as high-def visuals.

The Japanese voice tracks couldn't be licensed. If you have a copy of the Japanese version lying around, though, I think you can just insert the voice tracks yourself by copying over the relevant files. This appears to apply to both this game and its sequel (Trails in the Sky SC).

I'm unsurprised about licensing out the voices, but I'm surprised they couldn't use the Japanese text. No big deal, it'd just be nice to have.

Oh, that.

I think it has to do with regional pricing to some extent. The Japanese game market is pricier, apparently due to the customers being hardcore fans with inelastic demand and few casual fans to justify pricing any lower.

It's not a hard region-lock because the game can still be bought and played there, but just in English. And I think XSEED only has license to distribute the English version.

The Japanese version can be bought on Falcom's own website, I think.
