1994 The Legend of Heroes III: Shiroki Majo
2006 The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch
The "Dragon Slayer" name stays gone from here.
In the US this was released /after/ the next game, which was not numbered in US, so the numbering got screwed up.

Phew!
So anyway, Dragon Slayer was a really improvised catch-all for whatever personal projects Yoshio Kiya wanted to do and it split into a lot of subseries that became more concrete and Trails is one of the modern results.
