Thank you for this interview, it's quite rare to see English interviews with Kondo.

In the case of Trails in the Sky, which was the very first three titles in the series, there are only three people who wrote that game.


This is kind of wild; Sky is still my favorite part of the series. Kudos to these three for creating Estelle and her character arc.

The article mentions Ys and Trails a lot, but not Xanadu (or Zwei). Wonder if we'll see more of it in the future?

I also would not join Adol on a boat ride.

God, I wish they'd make more Zwei games, but unfortunately apparently Zwei II flopped so I don't expect to see a comeback for it. (Technically Legend of Nayuta is Zwei III in all but name, but still...) At least Tokyo Xanadu is getting a sequel soon, though!

Ys was one of my favorite franchises growing up and in the early 2000s. I felt Oath in Felghana and Origins were peak game design for that series. I haven't been the biggest fan of the Memories of Celceta and onward party-style of gameplay although I did like Lacromosa of Dana quite a lot.
