If the PC and Switch versions were at parity with this release there wouldn't be any problems, but with the extra care put into these releases, PlayStation 4 players are now left in an uncomfortable situation do they play the game on the same platform they've played the other releases in the series, or do they opt to purchase Trails from Zero for another platform? For those that already ordered a PlayStation 4 version of the Limited Edition, that means they'd have to double-dip entirely if they wanted to play a version of the game that's not compromised in some fashion. There's also the possibility that since the PS4 version already existed in Japan, that Falcom did not allow NISA to make their own version of the game for the same platform. These PC and Switch releases are essentially entirely new ports, and with what might be a smaller pool of players interested in the games, it doesn't shock me that they opted to just go with the same PlayStation 4 release that Falcom released themselves in Japan. This discrepancy could have been avoided if NIS America had contracted Durante's team to make enhancements to the PlayStation 4 version of the game as well, but it makes sense why that wasn't the case. Unless you've been keeping up with all of the game's updates leading up to launch, it makes perfect sense that most players would've never known that they might be opting for a strictly inferior version of the game. As explained by Durante during a Reddit AMA a few months back, and going by screenshots uploaded to Nintendo's official page for Trails from Zero - most of the enhancements of the PC version will be included in the Nintendo Switch release of the game, meaning that even the Switch release of Trails from Zero will come with significant upgrades compared to the PlayStation 4 release.

Long story short, while the PC and Switch releases of Trails from Zero will come with a number of Quality-of-Life and graphical enhancements courtesy of PC modding legend Durante's studio PH3, the PlayStation 4 release will remain largely the same as the 'Kai' version that was released in Japan a few years back.

What should be the long-awaited release of the first entry in the Trails' series Crossbell Duology, however, feels like it might run the risk of being overshadowed by a set of discrepancies between the PC, Switch and PS4 versions of the game - and how NIS America has not done an adequate job of communicating these differences.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero finally receives its official English localization later this month on September 27.
