A world that stretches out in all directions
A vast world spreads out.
Nature spreads out with various expressions, and a variety of creatures live there, creating a rich ecosystem.

It is said that sometimes one can get caught up in the battles between Keves and Agnus.

Colonies, the strongholds of Keves and Agnus, are scattered throughout the region.
At friendly colonies, you can shop and interact with the residents.

In addition to the skip-travel function, which allows players to move immediately to a place they have already visited, there are many convenient features such as navigation that displays the route to the destination, and skip time, which allows players to change the time at will.

Combat System
Combat begins when you encounter an enemy and draw your sword.
When you approach an enemy, it attacks automatically. Use the more powerful action "Arts" to defeat the enemy.

Switching characters and activating combos during battle will give you an advantage in the battle.

Various Classes
Each character has its own class.

The more classes a character has experienced, the more advantageous he or she will be in battle, and the higher his or her rank, the more "master arts" he or she will be able to use.
Master Arts" are useful arts that can be added to another class.

The "Master Arts" are useful arts that can be added to another class, and when activated in conjunction with the "Finally Arts," the "Fusion Arts," which have the characteristics of both arts, can also be activated.

Heroes who fight together
The "heroes" are also introduced.

This allows for powerful attacks, but the power is deactivated after a certain amount of time.
