Given how much effort I have put toward getting as many of Falcom’s games as is possible so I could play them, I figured that, to celebrate their 40th, I’d share my notes with y’all. I was a little late to the Falcom game, myself, in large part due to the lack of availability of these games on platforms I had when I was younger, so I’ve spent quite a bit of time in my 30s digging through Ebay, digital storefronts, mini consoles, and the emulation space in order to make up for that - Trails in the Sky was my first Falcom game, and that was enough to sell me on looking for more from them. Sadly, nowhere near the full library of Falcom titles is available on modern platforms, or even in English - huge chunks of Falcom’s history, even the parts that made it from PC to consoles, are either somewhat lost to history or are only available in Japanese, as neither the publishers of Falcom’s games nor fan translators have gotten around to changing that. Nihon Falcom, one of the most influential and vital developers of Japanese role-playing games, turned 40 years old back in March, and they’ve been celebrating for most of the year by having a whole bunch of their games on sale throughout most of it.
