Nihon Falcom updated the Japanese official website for The Legend of Heroes: Kuro no Kiseki II – Crimson Sin. It also published a teaser trailer for the sequel. The trailer’s latter part shows an introduction cutscene similar to the first title, where the protagonist Van Arkride wakes up to a knock on his office door. However, the character relationships built in the prequel will bring some new changes.
Agnès Claudel, who came as a client in the first title, is now working part-time as an assistant at Spriggan – Arkride Solutions Office while continuing her school study. Van thinks Agnès is visiting him, even though it is not her working day. To Van’s surprise, the visitor turns out to be Elaine Auclair, the Calvard Bracer Guild ace and Van’s childhood friend who comes for a formal request.
