Read on for more details from today\u2019s presentation:<\/p><p>\n<b>Gods and Heroes <\/b>\u2013 Five years after the Heroic Games, the Dagdan Empire faces its end at the hands of the revived demon god, Balor. Four Heroes who played a significant role in the Heroic Games have vanished. To confront the situation, the progenitor god Sothis charges one soul with saving the world from its end. That soul is you.<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b>Main Protagonist <\/b>\u2013 Enter a world set ablaze with turmoil. Will you face the demon god Balor on your own \u2026 or use the goddess Fortuna\u2019s time-travelling powers to change the fates of the four Heroes? Assemble your forces and light a path toward Dagda\u2019s salvation.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Four Heroes<\/b> \u2013 Journey back to the time of the Heroic Games and take up arms as one of the four Heroes. Who you choose will determine how the narrative unfolds.\n<ul class=\"bwlistcircle\">\n<li>\n<b>Cai<\/b> \u2013 From the peaceful village of Ribeira, Cai sets out with his childhood friends to win the Heroic Games and save his imprisoned father.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Dietrich<\/b> \u2013 Washing ashore after an attack from an enormous monster, Dietrich decides to slake his thirst for battle by competing in the Heroic Games with new allies at his side.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Theodora<\/b> \u2013 Hailing from the kingdom of Saramis, Theodora leads her veteran retainers into battle to restore the honor of her goddess \u2013 the loathed Keeper of Death and Night \u2013 and defend the peace of her kingdom.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Leda<\/b> \u2013 Born into prestige and blessed with musical talent, Leda gives up everything to seek revenge against her father\u2019s murderer. With companions in tow, she enters the Heroic Games after learning that the killer will be fighting as well \u2026<\/li>\n<li>\nFrom each Hero\u2019s story, you can travel through time again to change to a different path. Progress is saved for each of the Heroes, so playing each story in parallel is also an option.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>The Heroic Games<\/b> \u2013 The Heroic Games are a series of matches held in tribute to Dagda, the Empire\u2019s first and founding king. Solel, the current ruler of the Dagdan Empire, will grant one wish to the ultimate winner. Achieving victory is no easy task, so preparation is key.<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b>Prepare for Battle<\/b> \u2013 Explore Dagsion between matches to visit establishments for equipment, boons and more. As your journey continues, you\u2019ll gain access to even more facilities. You can also venture beyond Dagsion\u2019s walls to strengthen your team in battle. This time is yours, so spend it wisely.\n<ul class=\"bwlistcircle\">\n<li>\n<b>Arena<\/b> \u2013 Train here to improve your skills, which can allow you to learn new moves and wield stronger weapons. On match days, you can watch battles between other participants to gain intel on your opponents.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Shopping Arcade<\/b> \u2013 Here you can purchase weapons and tools or enhance weapons using materials you\u2019ve collected.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Temple Row<\/b> \u2013 Volunteer at temples here to acquire a blessing usable in battle, such as a temporary stat buff, damage reduction and more.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Certification Exams<\/b> \u2013 Speak to an exam proctor to obtain a new class for one of your units. Success is not guaranteed, so ensure they have the necessary skills before applying.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Quests<\/b> \u2013 Complete quests from townsfolk by the given deadline to receive in-game rewards. You never know who might ask for your help.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Recruit <\/b>\u2013 Add powerful warriors you meet to your ranks. They may turn you away at first, but giving gifts or sharing a meal may win them over.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Inns<\/b> \u2013 Rest, eat, and use turns to gain experience and gather materials automatically. Characters may also converse and show their support to each other here.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Beyond Dagsion<\/b> \u2013 Outside of Dagsion you can explore the world map. Time passes every time you move, so plan your expeditions carefully.\n<ul class=\"bwlistcircle\">\n<li>\n<b>World Map<\/b> \u2013 Visit towns to purchase local wares, gather information and gain experience in Skirmish battles. While on the world map, each of the four Heroes can use abilities that are unique to them. You\u2019ll also find dungeons to explore outside of Dagsion.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Dungeon Delving<\/b> \u2013 Collect materials for strengthening weapons, along with other treasures in dungeons. Encountering enemies in dungeons will trigger turn-based clashes that differ from normal battles. In clashes, you can perform attack combos with your allies.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Matches <\/b>\u2013 Similar to traditional Fire Emblem battles, matches play out strategically. Choose your units and their placement on the field, then the battle will commence. Each unit\u2019s movement range is shown in blue and their attack range in red. Once all units have completed their actions, your opponent\u2019s turn begins. Take turns engaging in fierce combat to determine the victor.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>Classes, Combat and More<\/b> \u2013 For all four paths, achieving victory will see you face fierce foes no matter where or when you take up arms.<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b>Classes<\/b> \u2013 A unit\u2019s abilities, weapons and movement range can drastically change depending on their class, with various categories to choose from:\n<ul class=\"bwlistcircle\">\n<li>\n<b>Beginner <\/b>\u2013 There are five Beginner Classes, each dedicated to playing a foundational role in combat. They include gladiators who excel in handling weapons, diviners who wield magic, ornius riders with increased movement range and more.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Specialty <\/b>\u2013 There are over 10 Specialty Classes, each with specific abilities. Armored knights offer ironclad defense, wing soldiers can leap obstacles and cover long distances, charioteers can strike multiple enemies in a straight line, and more.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Advanced <\/b>\u2013 These classes are masters of their skills. Cataphracts have the mobility of horses and are heavily armored; guardians are skilled with white magic and spears; and elephant riders fight astride their giant mounts, to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Means of Attack<\/b> \u2013 In battle, units can employ various weaponry, including swords, gauntlets that aid in evasion, spears that can massively damage cavalry units, axes with low accuracy but high attack power, bows that strike at a distance, and magic which is effective against heavily armored foes and can heal or otherwise support allies. There are also swords that call down lightning, gauntlets that look like firearms and other unique weapons to find.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Positioning <\/b>\u2013 On the battlefield, positioning is key. Avoid potential counterattacks by attacking enemies who wield close-range weapons from a distance, and long-range opponents up close. Terrain can also be an advantage, and adjacent allies can receive buffs. Assess the situation and control the battle in your favor.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Combat and Blaze Arts <\/b>\u2013 Combat arts are attacks unleashed at the expense of weapon durability. There are attacks with greater power, longer range or other advantageous effects, so use them in decisive moments. Blaze Arts are special moves that can turn the tide of battle at the cost of a Hero\u2019s health points. For example, Cai releases a burst of flames in a wide area; Dietrich\u2019s ink-black cloak can warp him to locations on the battlefield; Leda plays her vihuela to buff allies, summon a powerful monster and more.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Fortuna\u2019s Blessing<\/b> \u2013 After each move, you can turn back time to any previous point in battle. You are free to rethink your strategy if things don\u2019t go as planned, or a favored unit is routed unexpectedly.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nYour story begins at the end of the world at the hands of the demon god. Those who join you in the future will strengthen the might of your assembled forces.
