Falcom straight up can’t manage releasing two Trails games a year, they don’t have the manpower to do that.

This here is either an admission that a bunch of projects all got pushed back or just wishful thinking. But who knows. Maybe they’ll do something smart for once and cut back on the scale of their projects.

I just finished Azure myself and I know several people that quit the franchise already simply because they can’t keep up with the release schedule.
