STORY AND WORLD

“Lost to the clutches of a great evil, the fate of the world is entrusted to the prince of a fallen nation and his faithful ring.”

The story takes place in the land of Fevrith, which is home to five nations: the Kingdom of Cornia, Drakenhold, Elheim, Bastorias, and the Holy Kingdom of Albion. The realm is inhabited by a host of different races, including humans, bestrals, elves, and angels.

A rebellion by General Valmore in the Kingdom of Cornia quickly sweeps across the land, engulfing the realm in war. The protagonist, Alain, is a surviving Cornian prince at the helm of the Liberation Army. Seize the legendary Ring of the Unicorn, raise your banners, and liberate your lands.

GAME OVERVIEW

“Gather, raise, and lead an army who’ll fight by your side!”

• Reclaim Your Destiny:
Freely explore the vast reaches of Fevrith, resolving all manner of disputes and odd jobs along the way. You will be able to progress further by defeating enemies, liberating towns and utilizing their resources, and bolstering your ranks with your new companions.

 

• Unit Customization:

There are over 60 characters ready to join your cause—from humans, elves, bestrals, and angels, as well as 60 classes to choose between.

Organize your companions into units and lead them into battle. As leader of the Liberation Army, you have free rein over who you choose to deploy and what strategies you decide to employ!

o  Choose From a Variety of Classes:

 

• Interacting with Characters:

You can forge deeper bonds with your companions through battle, meals, and other activities. As your relationships deepen, special conversations known as Rapport Conversations can occur. By building Rapport, you can gain bonuses, such as increased might, from being in the same unit.

Rapport can be increased by dining at taverns or giving gifts to characters stationed as guards.

When Alain has reached maximum rapport with a companion, he can enact a rite and gift them a special ring. Only one character can be selected.

• Battlefield Stage:

Battle stages are the fields of combat where allied and enemy units wage war in real-time. Each battle stage has victory conditions that must be fulfilled to complete it, such as defeating the enemy commander within a certain time limit.

• Battle:

During Battle, your units will automatically engage enemy units and use their skills according to the tactics that have been set for them. The battle will end when all combatants are no longer able to act or when all combatants on one side have been defeated.

Organize your units, equipment, and tactics based on your companions’ classes and skills!
