Danette, who has always dreamed of protecting the village, is overjoyed and is given twin daggers. One day, the protagonist and Danette are called forth by old lady Layna and given weapons to help guard the village. Along with Layna, whose age now exceeds 200, the protagonist helps to protect the village. In that village lives the protagonist along with their friend Danette, and other members of the Sepp race. Within the country of Raide, there exists a small secluded village that refuses to acknowledge the existence of those from outside world. The body of one of the giants remains in the peaceful country of Raide, and serves as a symbol of fear to those who pass by it. Ever since that day, with the shadow's defeat, the giants known as "The World Eaters" have retained their silence in the continent. 200 years have passed since the defeat of the shadow at the hands of the technique user Layna. The year is now 800 in the Tamaito calendar. With their leader gone, the World Eaters fell silent, apparently having gone to sleep, remaining as monuments of the destruction that occurred. When things looked their darkest, Layna gathered up what remained of her forces and made a direct assault against Gig, a battle which apparently killed both of them. They quickly devastated the land, annihilating entire nations in a matter of days, and it wasn't long before nations began abandoning their alliances and allying with the World Eaters in an attempt to save themselves. This peace collapsed 50 years later, however, when the "Master of Death", Gig arrived with three giant beings known as World Eaters under his command. Fifteen years later, Lord Median's daughter had proven herself as a true leader, and convinced the remaining countries to form peace treaties, establishing peace once more. With no apparent leader, the continent collapsed once more into civil war.
However, within ten years, the empire Lord Median had created collapsed with the death of his son, quickly followed by his own death. Though only one man, he became renowned throughout the world for his heroism.
Alternately, the player can recruit NPCs into her or his army.Īt the end of a long war-shattered age, one man brought all the countries in the Continent of Prodesto together under his rule: Lord Median the Conqueror. Additionally, the player can attack the towns and fight against the NPCs inhabiting them. It is possible to steal items from shops or NPCs instead of buying them. The game includes more options for interacting with NPCs than previous Nippon Ichi games. Squads can also be merged in order to increase their power. Also, unlike the older Nippon Ichi titles, the player is not allowed to return to older levels. Tedious tasks like visiting the same area over and over in order to level new characters (a staple of older Nippon Ichi titles) are no longer necessary as any new units may be purchased up to the level of the main character. Characters' individual abilities can do such things as increase the range of an effect or give each unit a bonus to its inflicted damage. Up to 25 different character types can be created, each filling a unique position in the squad with its own strengths and weaknesses. The player is given the ability to create and command squads, which, after enough time, will become an army capable of destroying the world he or she is trying to save. Instead, the player is expected to build and train an army of units capable of handling whatever comes his or her way, relying on Gig's powers as little as possible.
When the game begins, the player chooses the gender and name of the main character, a change from other Nippon Ichi games.Īt the very beginning of the game the main character can become powerful enough to destroy even the final boss, but relying on Gig too much would be the equivalent of just letting the world be destroyed. A key element of the game is customization, as the game is a strategy RPG, much like the majority of Nippon Ichi Software's games, giving the player many more options to choose from when progressing through the story.
