New details about Lost Sphear, Square Enix and Tokyo RPG Factory’s new Switch RPG, are included in this week’s Famitsu. We’ve rounded up the information as translated by Siliconera below.
General
– This world is created by memories
– As humans live on, they become memories of the planet, and that is how this world is built
– Even memories from the ancient times still remain as memories at this very moment
– And when that memory fades, so does its existence
– This is what people call “Lost”
– When something is Lost, it can no longer be retrieved from mankind’s power alone
– This was meant to be the law of nature, no matter the generation
– However, a young man with the ability to use the “power of memories” arrives to this world
– The man’s name is Kanata
– A journey surrounding Kanata’s memories that is about to leave a big impact on this world
– The world that Kanata lives in is built by “memories”
– Everything is part of a memory, and when a memory disappears so does its substance
– The planet itself is no exception
– Kanata, who awakened his power of memories, goes on a journey with his friends to save the world from becoming “Lost”
– When something becomes Lost, what has been forgotten is represented by a white mist known as the “Lost phenomenon”
– This is where the adventure starts out
– Kanata’s hometown, the Moon Bell City of El, is also in danger of vanishing
– Converse with party members during your trip
– This ranges from small talk to important topics
– Battle system is based on I Am Setsuna’s ATB system
– Can move around during fights
– Depending on the type weapon or skill’s fixed range, you’ll be able to approach enemies to try hitting as many targets as possible
– Battles transition seamlessly from the field
– More features familiar to I Am Setsuna’s in the game
