Same here

I noticed as well.) And personally, I prefer more detailed environment over intense animations.

It would not hurt though, if both original and remake were available on GOG.

So Keihltrein brought this situation to my attention and thought it would be a good idea if I'd make a video about it to spread the word about the Trails Remake not getting a GOG release.

Well, I agree. So I wanted to share with you guys a potential title and thumbnail I've drafted to get everyone's opinions on it. Now the most important part of any video is the thumbnail followed by the title. That's what catches everyone's attention to get you to click on it. Think of it like this, you're walking through a video store with 100's of movies you know nothing about. How do you choose what to pick? Well, you pick the one with a cover that stands out then read what the title says. If you like both, you buy it. Same with YouTube videos. So with that said, here is the potential title with the thumbnail attached to this post as a JPG.

Potential Title:
"Gungho Is Making a BIG Mistake"

And for another potential title, here is what Keihltrein came up with:
"This JRPG series could be in danger of abandoning GOG"

For the thumbnail, I absolutely hate putting those stupid red arrows on my videos (2nd only to some stupid dude's exaggerated expression) but they seem to get people to click on them so just this once I'll do it if it means getting more people to view it. (Note: apologies for the image's compression. GOG only allows 500 KB file uploads. The final image will look much sharper.)

Any suggestions or additional material I could use to put in my video would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and let's get this game released on GOG!

Thanks BenKii for taking the time to make this, the thumbnail looks nice, hopefully it works to get views!

Let's see what the rest of the community comes up with, hopefully we can make this happen!

I was also thinking about a hashtag to share on the different socials. You know, like a catchphrase. I was thinking #FreeTheSkies could be shared on X, Facebook, or whatever social stuff is out there now to get it trending.

We should try to make something that mention the subject at hand, maybe something like #Trails1stOnGOG or #TrailsRemakeGOG

Thumbnail look good. I think the first title is probably better because shorter but it could also be taken as bit aggressiv so I don't know. One thing is sure if the game doesn't drop on Gog I won't go back to Gaben for it.

Thanks a lot Captain BenKii and Keihltrein! Your help is really appreciated.

I am not really a content creator, so I cannot say for sure, but the first one may grab more attention... Whether it would retain that attention is another matter. Then again, since GOG is in the thumbnail, it should be clear enough that it is GOG-related.


GungHo have just posted a tweet, asking people what questions they would like to ask Kondo (The president of Nihon Falcom).

This is a perfect opportunity to bombard them with questions about GOG!

Had a little more thought on a potential hashtag. What about #TrailsToGOG? Kind of a play on the Trails series in how they name their games. i.e. Trails through Daybreak, Trails To Azure, Trails in the Sky, etc. It's short and plainly states we want Trails on Gog. Doesn't necessarily state the remake in particular but I think it gets the message across and is catchy enough for folks to share. Might be the perfect opportunity now to use that hashtag with the recent GungHo X post that Sargon just shared.

Thanks for sharing this. Just posted my reply with the hashtag #TrailsToGOG to try and get it trending. Of course I ended up with a dang typo in my post and Twitter won't let me edit it. Whatever, I think they'll get the message.
