Their first game I played was Ys 6 on PS2, but that's not what really got them on my radar. Their music did that, hearing the Trails in the Sky OST back in 2004 or 2005, I decided to try out Legend of Heroes, and at the time the most convenient choice was the Gagharv trilogy (Legend of Heroes 3, 4 and 5). They were pretty rough to be honest.

Only years later did Trails in the Sky finally get a western release, and when I played that I was immediately hooked. Continuing that series had to wait though, since the other games didn't make it over until, again, years later. In that time I also actually got into the Ys games thanks to Ys Origin.

Now Falcom's pretty much my favorite developer, with Trails being my favorite turn-based RPG series and Ys being one of my favorite action RPG series.
