The positive commercial and critical success of the series has led to a relatively short turn-around time for English translations of new entries, with the latest title Trails of Cold Steel IV coming to Western audiences just two years after its initial release date in Japan. Fans of the long-running series have praised its persistent overarching storyline, immersive and detailed settings, masterful character development (right down to the NPCs) and a unique battle system that blends elements of a grid-based RTS with more traditional turn-based RPG trappings. Nihon Falcom's epic, generation-spanning series The Legend of Heroes has been slowly picking up steam in Western territories over the last few years, as the combined localization efforts of publishers Xseed Games and NIS America have done an excellent job of introducing the titles to a broader audience outside Japan.
