If you follow the 'Forum discussion' link from the catalogue page, you end up where players ofToCS1-3 would expect: https://www.gog.com/forum/the_legend_of_heroes_trails_of_cold_steel_series

If you go to ToCS4 in your account after buying it and click on More -> Forum, however, you end up here: https://www.gog.com/forum/the_legend_of_heroes_trails_of_cold_steel_iv
