From the Wikipedia article
Trails, known as Kiseki in Japan, is a series of science fantasy role-playing video games by Nihon Falcom. The series is part of the larger The Legend of Heroes franchise. Trails is set on the continent of Zemuria and features story arcs set across the nations of Liberl (Trails in the Sky), Crossbell (Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure), Erebonia (Trails of Cold Steel and Trails into Reverie), and Calvard (Trails Through Daybreak and Trails Beyond the Horizon). 13 main entries have been released since 2004. Trails primarily features turn-based combat, with spin-offs and more recent entries featuring more action gameplay. The series was conceived by Falcom to have the most ambitious narrative in gaming, with producer Toshihiro Kondo considering it his life's work. Trails games were released only in Asia until the 2010s, when English versions were published by Xseed Games and NIS America. The series had sold nine million copies by 2025. Manga, anime, and other canonical media have also been released. Trails is expected to end with its final entry by 2032.

Background
Description
Trails is a series of role-playing video games by Nihon Falcom set in a science fantasy universe. It began as the sixth entry in Falcom's The Legend of Heroes franchise with the release of The Legend of Heroes VI: Trails in the Sky in 2004. Despite that, it had no narrative connection with prior Legend of Heroes games and is considered its own distinct franchise. The Trails games are set within a few years of each other and follow an overarching narrative, with the events of a few entries crossing over into another. The games are made using a proprietary game engine known as the Falcom Developer Kit (FDK), with the exception being Sony's PhyreEngine used for the Trails of Cold Steel games…
