 The North American version of the game was localized by XSEED Games, whom in May 2010 announced that they had acquired the rights to bring the "Trails in the Sky" trilogy to North America.The length of the script for "Trails in the Sky FC", which contained approximately 1.5 million Japanese characters, presented a challenge for XSEED's editor Jessica Chavez.Chavez spent nine months working on the script, with the fourth chapter of the game ultimately requiring assistance from XSEED's localization specialist Thomas Lipschultz at the last month.
