Level-5 updated the Japanese website for Inazuma Eleven Ares today with a new batch of details and screenshots. The game’s story, characters, and systems are explored in-depth.
Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Gematsu:
Story
– The Raimon Eleven won a spectacular victory at the Football Frontier, and boys soccer became popular throughout Japan
– Before long, boys soccer adopted an unusual new “Sponsored” system. Since official soccer matches anticipate attracting large crowds, a financial power able to provide a large enough budget is essential.
– Schools without a sponsor will become unable to operate a soccer club, and the clubs will be forced to disband
– These soccer-loving boys live on the isolated Inakuni Island, and they are in a crisis of being deprived of soccer
– With their determination, a battle where their fates are all on the line is about to begin
– Story is set immediately after the original Inazuma Eleven
– Takes place in a parallel world
– Led by Mamoru Endou, the Raimon Eleven will win the Football Frontier
– After that, a new history different from before will begin
– Protagonist Asuto Inamori (voiced by Ayumu Murase) is admitted to Raimon Junior High School from Inakuni Junior High School
– A passionate youth soccer drama will unfold that also depicts the story from the perspectives of Ryouhei Haizaki (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya) of rival school Seishou Academy and Yuuma Nosaka (voiced by Jun Fukuyama) of rival school Outei Tsukinomiya Junior High School
New Soccer System: “Sponsored”
– With soccer recently becoming popular, a large budget is required to manage operations
