Estelle and Joshua Meet in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Trailer

Nihon Falcom shared a new The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter trailer, and shows the new 3D cinematic that shows Estelle and Joshua meeting for the first time. This is the scene we see as the game begins, and it features the introduction following her father Cassius Bright bringing the boy home. 

The original game began with a scene set about five years before current events, when Estelle and Joshua are around 11 years old. Estelle waited at home for her father Cassius to come home. He was on an assignment with the Bracer’s Guild and was due back. He does show up, but he isn’t alone. He claims he has a “present,” which is Joshua. This scene in the new video picks up after Cassius had put Joshua to bed, and the boy wakes up to meet the girl. 

From there, it seems like the first meeting between Estelle and Joshua in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter goes about the same as they did in the original. He’s shocked when he awakes, and wonders why Cassius brought him home and didn’t let him die. Just like in the original game, Estelle gets mad at his response to her father and his tone and hits him, leaving him shocked. She then properly introduces herself, and Cassius tells reminds him that he said he had a daughter. When Joshua gets mad about Cassius changing the subject, she then kicks him right in the face. When he tries to argue back further, she slaps the sides of his face with her hands and recreates the famous “Do I hear y-e-l-l-i-n-g” moment from the original. He then introduces himself. 

Here’s the full video of Estelle and Joshua meeting for the first time in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter. 

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter will come to the PS5, Switch, and PC, and the release date is September 19, 2025.
