Description
The Legend of Heroes is old-school JRPG with new-school sensibilities and graphics. The old-school elements of the game are its turn-based combat, inane quests, long dialogue scenes, a digital pet system and lots of similar things that seem to date from the 1995-ish RPG era. There are no random fighting encounters however. In this game you control Avin in his search for his younger sister Eimelle. They were separated when their cathedral was raided by religious zealots.
A Tear of Vermillion is a remake of the Japanese PC game
Eiyuu Densetsu Gagharv Trilogy: Akai Shizuku. Gagharv in the title refers to the chasm that separates the continent Tirasweel, where the games takes place, from the rest of the world. Improvements Bandai made for this remake are a new battle system and quicker load times. The name of the second game,
The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch, suggests that this is the first game in the series, but it is actually the second one in a trilogy. The first game (again a PC game) never left Japan and has not been revived for another platform so far.

Trivia
According to a press release, the translation of the Japanese title in English is
Legend of Heroes: Gagharv Trilogy IV - Crimson Tears. A more literal translation would be
Legend of Heroes: Gagharv Trilogy - A Drop of Red, though.
