Natsu, on the other hand, shows a glimpse of his Dragon Form and unleashes some powerful fire magic. This also allows characters to execute a combo attack against the enemy. During a crisis, players will be able to power up for a robust elemental attack. There’s a layer of strategy to the fights that might emerge in the later parts of the game, but during my time with the game, I was having fun just exploring each of the character’s magical abilities.ĭuring the fight with Jellal, I was able to experience the “Awakening” feature. Each magic ability was animated nicely and made the battles fun. Some magic affects multiple squares, which encouraged me to use different magic that fit a particular situation. Enemies line up on a grid, and players can execute magic to a specific grid. There were a few moments of graphical errors, but being this early of a development build, I’m sure they will be smoothed over by launch.īattles are turn-based. Luckily for me, I was able to experience a beach scene, which is all I could have hoped for. The environments are selected from a map that expands as you discover new places. On the way to meet him, I was able to explore the environments and get into a few battles. During the demo, I was on a mission to show off my strength to Jellal Fernandes. Only when traveling to a new area, did I encounter a loading screen, which wasn’t long at all.ĭuring gameplay, players will choose missions that they wish to accept from a quest board to complete alongside story missions. What I took away with me while exploring is that the load times from walking in and out of the various structures were speedy.
In this early build, I wasn’t able to explore too much, but I was able to peek inside Lucy’s house, which triggered a silly event. Interestingly, Gust has created a reasonably lively city with locals going about their daily lives and characters to talk with on the streets. That said, after playing over an hour of the game, I’m discovering why they are the perfect developer for this project.ĭuring the demo, I was able to explore the town of Magnolia. Surprisingly, this is the first real Fairy Tail game released outside of Japan on consoles, which might be a lot of pressure for the Atelier developers. It’s no surprise that I am looking forward to the Gust-developed RPG based in the universe of Fairy Tail. Sure, I’m okay with playing through this content, but I’m always ready to experience a new interpretation of a manga or anime IP. The gameplay elements are already there, so the developer can focus on telling a few arcs of the story. When hearing about licensed anime games coming west, I typically assume it’s going to be a Musou style game.
