It is revealed in the trailer that the soldiers that participate in the war will only have a lifespan of 10 years. This will likely be a driving force for the main cast's story.
Our main protagonists Noah and Mio are Off-Seers. They perform rituals to mourn the dead of the battlefield.
The main characters gain some highlight on the direct with their default classes and ally nation.

List of Main Characters and Protagonists
Aside from the 6 main party members, there are also 10 (9) recruitable heroes revealed in the direct! However, one of them is hidden and one's info wasn't shown in the actual direct.
Zeon |
Ashera |
Valdi |
Riku and Manana |
Fiona |
Alexandria |
Gray |
Juniper |
While there are several heroes you can recruit, only one of them can be brought to battle. Take your current party composition into consideration as these heroes have classes of their own for you to use to fill the gaps in your current roster.
List of Recruitable Heroes and Their Classes
Swordfighter | Zephry |
Medic Gunner | Tactician |
Heavy Guard | Ogre |
The Sword Fighter is the balanced attacker class among the main character classes while the Ogre is a fully-fledged attacker class that focuses on damage output
For the defender classes, the Zephyr is highly reminiscent of a dodge tank class. It focuses on evasion and counters rather than damage reduction to tank enemy attacks. The Heavy Guard, as the name implies, is a dedicated tank class that focuses on taking enemy attacks and surviving through them. They can also easily draw aggro from enemies.
Lastly, the healer class has the Medic Gunner which relies on positioning from afar to use heals and buffs. The Tactician, on the other hand, focuses on disruption and debuffs to weaken enemies while healing allies.
Noah switching to Zeon's Guardian Commander class.
All characters can switch to the classes of your recruited heroes! This greatly expands the possible party setup you can have during the game.
Aside from class switching, each character can also upgrade their arts by using them during battle. This makes switching classes increase your options as the game goes longer.
There also exists master arts that can be equipped regardless of the class you currently equip.
Lastly, there also exist compatible arts which allows you to combine two arts into one to apply both arts' effect into one.
Interlink is the process of combining two partner characters into Ouroboros. There are three pairs for your party which are as follows.
Noah | Mio |
Lanz | Sena |
Taion | Eunie |
Ouroboros Form has a timer and will deactivate once the time is up.
The Ouroboros can take on two forms with differing arts. This can freely be changed during battle which essentially expands the art list of your temporary form!
You can gain soul points from battles. These points can be used to strengthen your Ouroboros to make them even stronger!
You can also include Ouroboros Forms for chain attacks! This can allow for unique combos to be used during battles.
Colonies are safe havens where you can encounter various friendly NPCs, shop for equipment, eat food, and more!
Rest Points can be found in various areas, Rest Points allow you to use several features in the game!
Eat Food | Provides buffs to the party |
---|---|
Undertake NPC Quests | Triggers NPC quests for you to complete. |
Craft Gems | Gems provide stat bonuses when equipped by players |
You can unlock checkpoints on the map! Use these to instantly travel from one spot to another using the fast travel feature!
By enabling the navigation feature, you can follow quest guides to see the nearest path you can take for quest destinations.
You can change the game's time. This can enable certain NPCs to appear in colonies as well as reveal new enemies in the field!
Enemies can be put into weakened stat starting from Break to Topple, then Launching them and a finishing attack for Smash.
Link multiple arts in the battle to unleash strong combos to easily devastate enemies in battle!
