Lost Sphear introduces characters Sherra and Obaro, mechanized armor Vulcosuit
Posted on July 30, 2017 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
This has been a big week for Lost Sphear. The RPG received an October release date in Japan, and a late January 2018 launch in the west.
Famitsu also had coverage of Lost Sphear in its latest issue. Square Enix actually covered most of the news in English through a post on the PlayStation Blog. Along with characters Sherra and Obaro, we’re introduced to the mechanized armor Vulcosuit.
Here’s the full rundown:
Every epic quest needs a full party of hearty adventurers, and today we are introducing two new playable characters who will join Kanata and his friends on their mission to restore the disappearing world. Meet Sherra and Obaro.
Sherra is a priestess who uses a traditional bow of similar range to Locke’s crossbow. However, while Locke uses crossbows and tinkers with mechanical crafting, Sherra specializes in heal magic and various bow-related abilities.
Obaro is an elderly man who came back into existence upon the awakening of Kanata’s power. Contrary to the physical strengths of Kanata and his friends, Obaro specializes in unleashing powerful elemental magic, demolishing large enemy mobs.
This last reveal is my favorite: the powerhouse armor you can acquire in the game known as the “Vulcosuit”!
The Vulcosuit is mechanized armor gifted to the people from the ancients within the world of Lost Sphear. This armor serves a dual purpose as enhanced in-battle weaponry and tools you can use in certain map environments. Each piece of armor has its own unique capabilities, so make sure to search for all of them!
There were just a few tidbits missing from Square Enix’s blogpost – specifically the names of the three Vulcosuits. They are as follows:
– The protagonist Kanata is piloting the Fadiel which can link with other Vulcosuits to perform combination attacks
– Van pilots the Regulfar which has the ability to support Van’s bit weapons
– Lumina pilots the Jercus which will have a stronger response to Spritnites than others, which will also unlock the pilot’s maximum potential
