Koei Tecmo and Gust have passed along an official set of new details and screenshots for the JRPG Fairy Tail. In addition to the latest details about the game’s battle system, we also have an update on playable characters.<\/p>\n

Here’s the full lowdown: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Based on the anime and manga of the same name by Hiro Mashima, players will be able to follow the series\u2019 enchanting storyline from the popular Tenrou Island arc through to the Tartaros arc, along with all-new original episodes. <\/p>\n

FAIRY TAIL will see Natsu and the team fight against a variety of foes in their quest to become the No. 1 guild in Fiore. Battle parties consist of up to five mages, allowing fan-favorite characters to combine together to perform impressive magical attacks displayed across a three-by-three battlefield grid. Each move deals a certain amount of damage across the tiles \u2013 choosing appropriate attacks can ensure a swift victory over troublesome enemies. By dealing damage, players will fill up the \u2018Fairy Gauge\u2019. This special \u2018Magic Chain\u2019 attack allows each party member to deal a combo of attacks before unleashing a powerful finisher – sometimes strong characters, like the beloved Guild Leader Makarov, may even jump in to deal devastating damage with their \u2018Extreme Magic\u2019. <\/p>\n

When the ally party comes under heavy damage and are in a pinch, characters can awaken dormant abilities for a few turns, drastically increasing their powers. Some mages even have access to whole new attacks \u2013 Dragon Slayers can use \u2018Dragon Force\u2019 instead of their \u2018Awakened\u2019 abilities, while some mages can perform a \u2018Mode Change\u2019 offering a wealth of new battle options. Natsu\u2019s renowned \u2018Lightning Fire Dragon\u2019s Iron Fist\u2019 is an example of the enhanced abilities that can be performed. Some mages are even able to unite together to perform mighty combination attacks, known as a \u2018Unison Raid\u2019, triggering a special \u2018Unison Raid\u2019 cutscene right before unleashing the incredible attack against oncoming foes.<\/p>\n

To assist in battle, GUST Studios announced five new playable characters joining the fray — not from FAIRY TAIL but from rival guilds in Fiore. New characters include the \u2018Sky God Slayer\u2019 Sherria Blendy from Lamia Scale, the \u2018Strongest Fencer\u2019 Kagura Mikazuchi from Mermaid Heel, the \u2018Handsome\u2019 Blue Pegasus mage Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki, and the \u2018White Dragon\u2019 Sting Eucliffe and \u2018Shadow Dragon\u2019 Rogue Cheney from Sabertooth. These exciting new additions to the cast join the previously announced Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, Gajeel Redfox and Juvia Lockser \u2013 all battle-ready with powerful magic abilities. With more than 12 playable characters available, players will able to form a dream team with FAIRY TAIL members and their rivals and set off on an adventure like never before. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
