Random reminder to Trails-heads that the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter remake will very likely be officially revealed on December 18 (Wednesday night in the US) at Falcom's yearly December shareholder meeting.
(I'm aware Falcom basically pre-announced it already)
Maybe we'll see Kyoto Xanadu, too.

I've been doing these year-end polls on RPG Site for like a decade, and I've never seen the races this close, this late in polling, lol.
I don't usually do this, but we have gotten hundreds more votes on our Reader's Choice poll and, y'all, we need some help separating the races here. Please consider voting if you haven't!
