In the interview, Toshihiro Kondo started by explaining howZero no KisekiandAo no Kisekiare currently only available on portable consoles, the PSP and the PS Vita. However, there are many fans who wish to play these games on PlayStation 4. Kondo most notably added that the two Crossbell games never released in English. The games only being on old portable consoles makes it hard for them to get western releases, and it’s one of the reasons behind these PS4 remasters.

There’s also the fact that the next game,Hajimari no Kisekiwill show how Crossbell reattained independence, and the Crossbell games are ten years old now. So Kondo argued there might be fans who wish to replay them before playingHajimari no Kiseki. These PS4 remasters are also geared toward players who started theTrails/Kisekiseries with theTrails of Cold Steelgames. Lastly, Falcom also wishes for old-time fans to replayZeroandAo no Kiseki to realize just how much foreshadowings were in these games.
