Throughout this month, FuRyu have revealed a new game that they’re working on called The Legend of Legacy. It’s an RPG for the 3DS. The art style and graphics are similar to Bravely Default. I wonder if that was their intent, given the success of BD in Japan. This is the part where it draws influence from the SaGa series considerably: you can choose your main character out of the seven playable characters, then three more as the rest of your party.
A big draw for this game clearly is the staff involved:
Not much at all. It appears to be a turn-based RPG. It’s unknown if it has random encounters or not. If I had to guess, it’s going to have a similar battle system as the Romancing SaGa series. They did briefly talk about a progression system of not having a set story path during the course of the game. The freedom of exploration and choice is in your hands. It’s an open-ended sort of RPG, not unlike The Elder Scrolls. A couple more tidbits, magic will only be able to be used in Avalon, and there won’t be any human-versus battles, but there are beings who are different than the monsters, and you’ll encounter more of them later on in the game.
Here’s a load of information about the world, story, and characters.
[quote]Introduction
Many people have challenged the legend. But then they disappeared. From an eternal slumber, the continent of illusion awakened. “The Avalon.” Waiting in that abyss, the stairs to paradise? Or the door to hell? This… “legacy” left behind by the gods of old weaves a story of unknown “truth.”
The Avalon
10 years ago, in the northern seas, a mysterious island suddenly emerged.
According to legend, once that place was known as “Avalon,” and it was an island large enough to be called a continent. It was said to be a thriving country where the gods lived.
In the last 10 years, many adventurers and researchers have embarked to search and investigate the island, but due to Avalon’s unique terrain and the monsters that nest there, their paths have been hindered and current research hasn’t made much progress.
The Spirit and Legacy
According to investigations made by the party sent ahead, it appears that “ghostly” figures can be seen on Avalon.
They cannot be seen by the average human eye, so why are they visible on the island?
There are several theories, but the one most likely considered is due to the power of the “legacy” left by the gods that sleeps in that land.
Throughout Avalon there are many tools and buildings standing that don’t seem to be the work of man. It’s believed that the ghostly figures have been visualized due to the power of these “legacies.”
The Star Graal
One of Avalon’s legends, “The Star Graal.”
The Star Graal is one of the legacies left behind by the gods in The Avalon.
It is said to bring “immortality” to its owner, and all the rumors about it being a secret formula for perpetual youth and great wealth stirs the heart of adventurers and has been the cause of their expedition to The Avalon.
However, it remains a thing of legend even though not a single person has seen its existence yet.
Town Initium
Located at the southern end of The Avalon, Initium is the island’s only town.
As a base for those who challenge the legends of the island, many adventurers visit Initium daily.
The lord of the town lives in a mansion on the high grounds and has spent the last 10 years building it up. He was the first person to discover the island of Avalon and naturally is known as “The Adventure King.”[/quote]
