On that day, in the protagonist’s hometown of Wishvale, the annual Day of Reverence was being held, and the town was bustling with smiling faces. However, just as they were about to light the blue flame that protects peace, the town was attacked and engulfed in red flames—. Will you choose the path of revenge, or the path of restoration? The choice is yours.

—Form a party with travelers you meet on your adventures.
—The turn-based aspect from previous games in the series remains unchanged.
● “Break & Boost” System
Break
Exploiting your foe’s weaknesses reduces their Shield Points, and once their points reach 0, they will become broken! Breaking an enemy renders them temporarily unable to act and reduces their defense, creating opportunities for both attack and recovery!
—Reduce a foe’s Shield Points to 0 to break them, and then use this chance to deliver powerful attacks!
Boost
Enhance your actions with Boost Points (BP) that accumulate each turn! This enhances not only attack count and potency of attacks, but also recovery skills and support effects. Use these points for offense or defense—it’s up to you!
—You can take the initiative and seize the upper hand or wait for the right moment and strike with a decisive blow. The strategy is up to you!
