Same goes for the [=PS4=] version of ''IV'', but with the extra requirement that the first two to be the [=PS4=] ''Kai'' remaster.

* ProtectionMission: Both the ''Sky'' and ''Zero'' games have missions in which you have to protect [=NPC=] characters that accompany them in battle. In any of these games, the first time this happens, you're provided with a warning that one of these characters being [=KOed=] is an automatic Game Over. At least one of these missions also requires that you not allow the [=NPCs=] to take any damage at all in order to earn bonus rank points, with this being [[GuideDangIt secret condition]]. Sometimes even just making sure they survive is easier said than done, especially on higher difficulty levels in which just one hit can take them out. Normally the accompanying [=NPCs=] will try to run towards the edge of the battlefield when it's their turn, but you can't always count on this. Occasionally they can even be helpful in battle such as having skills that can blind, though sometimes their getting close may do more harm than good. Thankfully, this mechanic was dropped in the third arc, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel''.

there are way more inconsistencies than just this in the artbook, and I'll add them later, but I don't have the time to pore over every page right now
Added DiffLines:
* InconsistentSpelling: A 2012 artbook covering both the Liberl and Crossbell arcs was translated into English in 2013 by Udon Entertainment. As Udon never worked on any of the games and only ''Sky FC'' had been localized at the time, the spellings used in the translation of the artbook are wildly inconsistent with the spellings used in the localizations of the games. Spellings used in the games are contained in notes.
** Some of them have nonsensical spellings that not only contradict the localizations of the games but also go against the etymologies of the names: Liscia[[note]]Rixia — a Chinese name as the character is from a FantasyCounterpartCulture to China[[/note]] Mao, Gillias Osbourne[[note]]Giliath Osborne — a ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' reference[[/note]], Alyanrhode[[note]]Arianrhod — a Myth/CelticMythology reference[[/note]], Blblanc[[note]]Bleublanc — a MeaningfulName as it's French for "blue-white" which is his color scheme[[/note]], the Ausleze[[note]]Auslese — a MeaningfulName as it's German for "selection" and in-game is the name of a royal house[[/note]] family
** Some of them are consistent with spellings Falcom has used in Japan but got {{Dub Name Change}}s in the localizations: Gratz[[note]]Grant[[/note]], Cecil[[note]]Cecile — though "Cecil" briefly made it into the localization of ''Cold Steel III'' before being changed in a patch[[/note]] Neues.
*** A complicated variant of this is "Lecter Alandor"[[note]]Lechter Arundel[[/note]] whose name appears to have been pieced together from multiple spellings used in Japan: "Lecter Arandor" from Falcom's Japanese website, and "Lector Alandor" from the Japanese version of ''Azure'''s in-game picture viewer
** Some of them are consistent with {{Dub Name Change}}s XSEED made in their original version of the ''Sky'' games but got walked back in patches: Zane[[note]]Zin[[/note]] Vathek, Haru[[note]]Halle — an odd case in that XSEED walked it back because Falcom told them the intended spelling was Halle... but Falcom then went and called her Hal in the Japan-only ''Daybreak'' artbook[[/note]]
*** An odd case is "Ayn Sernate", which matches neither the name used by both current localizations and Falcom in Japan[[note]]Ein Selnate[[/note]] nor XSEED's original DubNameChange that got walked back[[note]]Anne[[/note]].
** Some of them are names that exist in RealLife and are supposed to be spelled with diacritics; the localizations of the games omit or respell the diacritics, while the artbook keeps them. Łazy[[note]]Wazy[[/note]] Hemisphere, Sonya Bälz[[note]]Baelz[[/note]], Jörg[[note]]Joerg[[/note]] Rosenberg, Ilya Platière[[note]]Platiere[[/note]].
*** Except Muller[[note]]Mueller — an Anglicized spelling of the German name Müller[[/note]] Vander where they go the opposite route and take the name even farther away from the real-life spelling.
** Some of them are reasonable alternate spellings of real names where Udon zigged and XSEED or NISA zagged: Sofia[[note]]Sophia[[/note]] and Collin[[note]]Colin[[/note]] Hayworth, the first name of Claudia[[note]]Klaudia[[/note]] von Ausleze (her surname has its own issues, discussed above), Ernest Rise[[note]]Reis[[/note]]

Muller Vander[[note]]Mueller Vander[[/note]] but Zex Vandarl[[note]]Zechs Vander[[/note]]; Randy Orlando but Sigmund and Shirley Orland[[note]]"Orlando" is used in the games[[/note]].

* ''VideoGame/TokyoXanadu'': Despite being a spinoff of a sibling franchise called ''[[DragonSlayerIIXanadu Xanadu]]'', this game deserves an honorable mention in how frequent ''Trails'' lore are given {{Shout Out}}s in it. It even recycled character designs from past ''Trails'' games, reused music from other ''Trails'' games, and even reused game code from the first two ''Cold Steel'' installments (namely, Blade, Mishy Panic, the swimming minigame, and the ''Cold Steel II'' version of the fishing minigame are available here, alongside the snowboarding minigame from ''Cold Steel II'' being revamped into a ''skateboarding'' minigame). Notable in that one particular element in this game is revisited in ''Trails Into Reverie''. It received an UpdatedRerelease called ''Tokyo Xanadu [=eX+=]''.
