Interviews

4Gamer.net and Dengeki Online were also able to conduct interviews with producer Keisuke Kikuchi. We also see two images of the PS4 Pro version, which gives us an impression of the command-based combat system. Players can put together their group from the magicians known from the series. The story tells the “middle arc” from the manga template.

PS4 Pro version

Command based combat

Kikuchi further explained that you can expand the guild by completing quests, which is what the whole game is about. The combat should be similar to the Atelier games. As soon as you run into an enemy, command-based combat begins. Attributes and ranges must be included in the strategy.

Fighters use MP to cast magic, but these are recharged by defeating enemies. The cooperation attacks are particularly powerful. The game’s prologue is the fight against Hades as the climax of the “Tenrou Island Arc”. After the guild collapses, it starts to be rebuilt; the “Grand Magic Games Arc” covers the first half of the game.

While the story follows the anime template, there will be other things to do after the main story. So you will be able to experience new episodes. There is also variety during the story in the form of episodes or tasks for the characters.

A world map will connect Magnolia Town with the surrounding area, and you can also visit other cities such as Crocus. Hiro Mashima, the creator of the original, oversees the appearance of the characters and provides further advice on the game’s content. The development is currently at 50 percent.

What is Fairy Tail about?

The Fairy Tail template by Hiro Mashima is about the magician guild of the same name, Fairy Tail. As befits a typical guild, members complete quests for other people. In addition, the guild repeatedly gets involved in wild adventures on various trips. You can experience this in the game – as in the template. You take on the role of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia and other guild members.

Fairy Tail will be released worldwide next year for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PCs.

Fairy Tail: Details on the storylines and new characters

The Mages Guild Fairy Tail lands on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PCs next year. After the specific details about the JRPG were rather scarce at the time of the announcement, Koei Tecmo and Gust are now following up.

That’s what the story is about

As is well known, the adventure is created under the supervision of author Hiro Mashima. And so fans are particularly excited about the background story that the video game will offer. According to today’s announcement, the game is based on the Tenrou Island arc, the Grand Magic Games arc and the Tartaros arc, as well as “other episodes from the original canon.”

The game’s plot focuses on the time period roughly halfway through the anime and revolves around the imminent demise of the Fairy Tail guild following the mysterious absence of Natsu’s group. The Guild’s reputation has declined in the years since her supposed death and it is sinking into debt. Luckily, Natsu and his crew of magicians are back and ready to restore Fairy Tail to its glory days by participating in the Grand Magic Games and competing for the top guild.

The story includes Natsu’s storyline as he faces Hades in an action-packed showdown, Erza facing off against swords with Mermaid Heel’s Kagura, and breathtaking battles against the dark guild Tartaros. Additionally, original episodes can be played to increase character bonding while unlocking unique in-game scenes.

These characters await you

You take on the role of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia and other guild members. These also include the “Iron Dragon Slayer” Gajeel Redfox and the “Rain Woman” Juvia Lockser, as was also announced today. In addition to those mentioned, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet and Wendy Marvell have also been confirmed so far.

During the game, mages accept jobs from the request board at Fairy Tail headquarters. These tasks often lead to combat, requiring characters to coordinate their attacks with other party members. Once the task is completed, players report back to the guild to receive rewards including money, items, and guild fame.

Guild rank varies based on fame, increasing from D to S – the higher the rank, the more challenging the mission, but with it comes greater rewards. Rise up the ranks to tackle the most challenging missions in a bold quest to become the greatest guild in Fiore.
