Collector interest
A Tear of Vermillion opens the Legend of Heroes Gagharv trilogy on PSP in North America, the required entry point to tackle the set in order. Its Bandai Namco run, predating the current appreciation of portable JRPGs, was never repeated. Its interest lies in this founding position within a trilogy collectors strive to gather complete and boxed.
An underrated gem
The first Legend of Heroes localized in the West, this J-RPG knots together the drama of two orphans in a world split by a celestial wall. Its uneven translation and dated systems tarnished its reputation. But behind that roughness lies an endearing tale that will speak to fans of classic, patient Japanese RPGs.
