– Unknown whether there will be stairs that lead to paradise or a door that leads to the abyss
– Game focuses on the truth about what was left behind by the old gods
– A mysterious island suddenly surfaced in the distant northern sea 10 years prior
– Legends say that this place was once called Avalon
– This was a place that had a country where the gods once lived and prospered
– Since then, many adventurers and researchers have gone to explore the island

– Early explorers say they saw “spirits” in Avalon
– These spirits can’t normally be seen by humans, but are plainly visible on this island for some unknown reason
– One theory suggests that this is so because of the “inherited” power left behind by the gods
– The different parts of Avalon have numerous tools and buildings left behind, which one wouldn’t expect to see in a regular civilization
– One Avalon legend revolves around the “Star Graal” (grail)
– The Star Graal is one of the properties left behind by the gods that is said to grant “eternity” to its owner
– This is speculated to be the secret to immortality
– Rumors about Star Graal are one of the reasons why adventurers have traveled to Avalon, in hopes of amassing riches from the grail
– No one has seen the Star Graal thus far
– The town of Initium is located on the south end of Avalon
– Initium is currently its only town
– It’s the home base for adventurers that seek various legends, and many adventurers travel here day and night
– The lord who lives in a building on top of the hill was the first person to discover Avalon island
– He is a self-proclaimed “Adventure King”
– It took him ten years to build the town of Initium

Famitsu recently posted an article about the new 3DS RPG The Legend of Legacy, which includes comments from director Masataka Matsuura and Kyoji Koizumi.

Matsuura first started out by talking about the game’s origins:

“I’ve always wanted to make an original RPG, and that’s why I’ve joined the industry, but the project basically started sometime around two years ago. At first, I wondered ‘what kind of RPG would do well nowadays?’ But after giving it some thought, I’ve come to the conclusion of ‘if I’m going to make a proper RPG, then wouldn’t it be best to make it with those who have already done so?’”

“That’s when I started a project called ‘Project Legacy,’and contacted those that I personally wished to work with, one by one. From there, people who were interested gathered, and the project formally began. It was something like that.”
