Just a 1227% increase
by 
Falcom’s year-on-year operating profit has seen a simply staggering 1227% increase, which is the kind of figure that makes everyone — including us — do a double take.
But no, it’s true. According to the Japanese developer’s latest financial report (as per Automaton), its results for the first half of the current fiscal year are incredibly positive across the board.
Most notably, revenue is up 153.9%, and again, operating profit jumped 1227%.
The report attributes this dramatic uptick to overseas game sales. In short, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter has had a massive part to play, as it continues to be a major hit on a global scale.

Year-on-year sales have risen 194% — and remember, this isn’t the first time Falcom’s highlighted 1st Chapter as a major factor for its recent financial health. The remake’s success was also stressed back in February, when the studio announced its quarterly earnings.
It’ll be really interesting to see if 1st Chapter continues to tick along ahead of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter’s September release. And beyond that, whether the sequel can perform to similarly high standards.
It’s all looking rather rosy for Falcom, then, ahead of what is shaping up to be a busy second half of 2026. The aforementioned 2nd Chapter will be here before you know it, and it’ll be followed by Kyoto Xanadu at some point in the autumn / fall.

A little too much, some might say.
