Nihon Falcom sent out a New Year's email, reiterating that they're releasing at least one more game alongside Trails in the Sky Second Chapter and the PS5/PC versions of Ys X: Proud Nordics. This year's wallpaper is themed around the Tokyo Xanadu sequel, for some reason 😉

I wonder when folks will realize Falcom aren't *just* padding their release calendar with remakes, and are instead using them to give themselves the time they need to transition and evolve into a truly WW-focused company?

For Falcom to announce this new title for 2026, it will make sense for them to announce on the 45th Anni. of the company founding (March 9th).
Plus I will be attending Taipei Game Show 2026 so who knows. But it will be a safe bet they may show 2nd footage there and more info from Kondo.

Try to avoid discussing about the AI topic and such but after the shareholder meeting, and seeing what next year will bring from what I’ve been told from colleagues and such. There will be the good and the bad that will show more frequently out in the open.
Honestly I don’t know how to feel on it.

If you think Falcom are being exceptionally bad with regards to AI, at least in comparison to their peers, you're in for a rude awakening in the coming months I fear.

The meeting is officially ended and yeah I definitely expected that to happen but plenty discuss with my group once we find a suitable spot to eat.
I expected Michsuzu to put the Q/A into a blog later.
Now we wait for the "Matters Concerning Business Plans and Growth Potential" later this month.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter will be a unified worldwide simultaneous release with all supported languages under the same game. Previously, 1st Chapter was still split between non-Asian territories & Korean/Chinese under 'Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter' & 'Sora no Kiseki the 1st' respectively.

How’s the sequel to Xanadu currently?
Kondo: Next Year will mark Falcom's 45th anniversary. I think many people will find today's announcement are bit underwhelming, however since we are aiming to a big mark for the 45th Anni., please wait for more information on new releases and such.

Personally arrived at Hotel Emisia Tokyo Tachikawa, and seeing another colleague that I didn’t meet for a long time (3 years) also attending the shareholder meeting.
Our first reaction when we saw each other is cool and ngl we are excited and anxious about it.

How about remakes for titles after Trails in the Sky SC, such as Trails in the Sky the 3rd?
Kondo:
Within the team, opinions are split on whether we should do the 3rd or Zero.
There are those who think it might be better to go with Zero rather than the 3rd.
