Trails through Daybreak proves games can be normal about trans people

Quatre stands with party companions in Trails Through Daybreak.

There are few video games as long lived as The Legend of Heroes. Telling a continuous story for the past 20 years in over a dozen games, an anime, various manga, and other transmedia, the franchise has followed young heroes who fight for others by uncovering the tide of oppressive political forces shaping national borders. It’s the most -- verbose and lighthearted, conflicts solved through both the power of friendship and international trade treaties.

Trails through Daybreak’s particular ensemble of heroes, though, stands out. Gig workers, orphans, queers, and ethnic minorities come together as a found family in their French locale to fight villains who have allied themselves with capitalists stoking racial tensions in a multicultural nation. They call out and fight back against the white supremacy of their opponents anti-immigrant rhetoric, the cover for economic power grabs.
