Inevitable Zero
A mod for Trails from Zero that ports over the PS Vita-exclusive quests to the PC version. The translation is a work in progress.
Ultimate Bread Showdown!
In chapter 2, first day, after returning from Armorica Village.The result is announced in chapter 3, second day.
For this one I also rename «Luscious Orange» to «Zesty Orange», because I couldn't find any other way to get the translation to make sense.

Chapter 2, second day.After talking to Azel, he disappears until you leave and come back. I don't know if this is how it works in the Vita version or if it's a bug in this patch.

Chapter 3, fifth day.Clerk’s Customer Service Guidance
Start of chapter 4.Guest Lecturer for Sunday School (Continued)
Start of chapter 4.I have not found any way to change the detective rank milestones, so since this mod adds a total of 14 extra DP, those are somewhat easier to reach.
It also contains a small number of other patches:
Some exclamations from Fran when she calls
When asking the gang to find Colin, and after exploring the Moon Temple.One small line during a discussion with Sergei, which solves a minor plot hole (spoilers!)
When discussing the D∴G Cult, Sergei writes down how it is spelled.Installation
Download the inevitable.zip file from the latest release
and extract data/ directory into the game's directory (you can open it like a .zip file).
This is normally at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Legend of Heroes Trails from Zero,
or it can be found by right-clicking the game in Steam and choosing Manage » Browse local files.
Inevitable Portraits
ShinKiseki's More Portraits in Zero modifies some of the same files as Inevitable Zero, and is thus not directly compatible. Instead there is a separate version of the mod, which should be installed after after More Portraits. The base Inevitable Zero is not required.
Compatibility
Inevitable Zero was built against Steam version 1.4.12. The differences between different versions are minor, so there will be no issues if using the mod on a different version. It also works on the Nintendo Switch version, though this of course requires jailbreaking.
Inevitable Portraits was built against More Portraits in Zero version 1.3.0, which was also built against 1.4.12.
FAQ
Can I install this mid-playthrough? Yes. But I can't guarantee stability if you are in an area with added NPCs, so I would recommend saving on one of the highways.
Do these support English/Japanese? Yes, both languages are fully supported.
Are they voiced? No. They're not voiced in Evolution, so there are no voice clips for them.
Do you receive any DP?/Does this affect achievements? Yes, it does make detective ranks easier to attain since there are more DP in total. I believe adjusting the rank thresholds would require modding the exe, which is beyond the scope of this mod.
