The Legend of Heroes: Characters Paperback – Illustrated, February 11, 2014

This book compiles the concept art for Trails in the Sky 1-3, and the as of yet Japanese-exclusive Trails to Zero and Trails to Azure. Each of the main characters gets roughly 3-4 pages to themselves, with character art, along with the illustrations used in the opening movies and design notes. It gets fairly informative, especially with Estelle and Joshua's Second Chapter costume changes, going into the personal reasons for their new looks.If I were to list the negatives, the only things that come to mind are that it spoils a bit too much without reason, and that there weren't enough design notes. I would've really liked to hear the reasons for Schera's new costume in Trails in the Sky the 3rd. But those are rather minor gripes.

If you have any doubts about purchasing this book, it is absolutely worth it. It's nice and large and works wonderfully as a display piece. Not to mention all the pages of beautiful art of all our favorite characters. 100% recommend.

I like it because since I like to draw, this will be a good collection with my other art books.

The book is great quality with heavy duty paper and bright illustrations. It came in plastic wrap as well which was nice as I have had many books purchased through amazon show up with dirt and oil on them so it was nice to have that extra layer of protection.I just finished playing the Trails in the Sky series (on Steam) and am about to start Trails of Zero. I really enjoyed the characters and wanted to have this book as a memory of them all. Looking forward to Trails of Zero and Azure.

One thing worth noting is that some of the translations do not match the work done on the games by XSeed and NIS America. If you can look past these errors, it is a great item to own. Shame we don't have more to choose from in English.

Para una saga de videojuegos tan poco famosa (desgraciadamente), vaya sorpresa encontrar esto disponible!El libro está genial, yo y mi pareja los coleccionaremos todos!!

Excelente libro para los fans de esta excelente serie

Many spoilers in this for later games that arent out in english and some translation errors but the book it self is nice.
