The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II (英雄伝説 閃の軌跡II Eiyū Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki Tsū?) is a role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom for the PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 video game consoles. First published by the company in Japan in 2014, it was later translated into English and published by Xseed Games in 2016 in North America. It is the twelfth entry in the The Legend of Heroes series, and a direct sequel to the prior entry, the original Trails of Cold Steel. Another sequel, Trails of Cold Steel III has been announced for release in Japan in late 2017.
The game plays very similarly to the original Trails of Cold Steel game, playing as a traditional JRPG with turn-based battles. The game is not, however, tied to the school schedule structure of the original, with the game now centered around traveling the world rather than attending classes. If the player has a completed game save file from completing the prior game, it has an effect on the game of Cold Steel II, with certain events and dialogues playing out different based on choices and relationships built in the prior game.
The game is a direct sequel to the original Trails of Cold Steel, picking up one month after the close of the prior game, with Rean having escaped with Valimar. He makes it to his hometown of Ymir where princess Alfin also escaped to, but she is kidnapped along with Rean's sister Elise. The rest of class VII has scattered over the country and he goes around gathering them and other Thors students, and after being given the airship Courageous by Olivier, uses Valimar to help civilians and look for Alfin and Elise.
