Edge Of Eternity is an RPG that will lead you to experience a unique and unusual universe, a world whose design combines futuristic influences, best Japanese RPGs influences and Medieval age influences.

The end of peace for the world of Heryon has come to the edge. An alien civilization has invaded the world to conquer everything, and enslave anyone that would step into their ways, spreading chaos and death through a virus that turns people and animals into metal monsters.

Daryon, the hero, is forced to leave after being haunted by his kind now turned into monsters. Left to the unknown, he decides to throws himself into a crusade of freedom and bravery, to save his world and discover his real origins. His devotion to the world of Heryon will lead him in an adventure he never expected.

200 years ago, a major event sealed the destiny of Heryon. The population and institutions were all sitting around the Crystals, elements that shaped the very deep roots of Heryon, such as the way to do war, the way they live and interact. Thanks to mutual understanding and dissuasion, the 3 continents forming Heryon kept peace in order for more than 80 years. But the time has changed.

What they used to consider as a blessing turned into a curse, and Crystals opened a breach to other worlds, turning peace into war and death. The crystals became dreadful weapons, greedily desired by every nations who fought to get them all, and when everything could have been different, the illusions and promises of power led the nation to abandon peace to throw themselves into death rage and horror.

Midgar's Edge of Eternity Kickstarter campaign just hit a new major goal with the gathering of more than  $130 000, an achievement that gives the kick off to the partnership with  Yasunori Mitsuda.

Amazingly enough, this happens almost exactly for the 20th birthday of  Chrono Trigger. Released on March 11th 1995 on SNES, this classic JRPG made  Mr. Mitsuda famous thanks to a masterpiece soundtrack, still considered today as one of the best composed for a video game.

For  Edge of EternityYasunori Mitsuda will compose and record the main themes of the game: the opening, the main theme, the battle theme, character themes... In total, he will offer the gamers more than 10 new soundtracks specially created for Midgar's JRPG.

"Mr. Mitsuda will come to France next month, I can't wait to have my first work meeting with him", says Cedric MenendezSound Designer of the game and composer of the game music so far. "With such a creator, I'm sure we will give our gamers the music experience they expect in a great  JRPG".

Yasunori Mitsuda says: "In this project "Edge Of Eternity" I'll take part as a music composer, looking forward to create music for such an epic perspective, in a world which I really love. I'm sure the game will be a great work with a collaboration between french and japanese creators. I hope everybody also look forward to the goal of this project, and for its realization we need your cooperation. I'll do my best to contribute to a beautiful music you all will love."

With this goal achieved and quite some time to go still, Midgar Studio  now hopes to gather even more resources for its JRPG project and be able to add even more content to the game. A new goal will also be unveiled early next week that could offer the game very nice cinematics, worthy of the  JRPG  tradition.

18 774 GY (Galactic year) marked an important point, as a vessel coming from space did land in the harbor of Junor city. As the news spread quickly through the city, doubts and questions grew even faster as no one ever saw anyone coming out of the ship, which remained closed from the beginning to the end.

18 776 GY, as the city was starting to get used to the presence of this vessel, the most unexpected began. Taking off to the top of Junor, the vessel drastically destroyed the city and lands around. Not a warning neither a sign was to be understood.

Nothing but desolation and horror rained over the people of Junor, which was now forced to leave their native land, forming by now the Nomads of Junor.

Incomprehension and fear marked a decisive point in their history, and from this moment technology was prohibited.

Daryon and Salvia share a common burden: a jewel. A necklace made of Crystal and mechanic part, proof of technology. Something happened the first time they crossed their paths in the little village of Elon, and as they felt closer, destiny sealed their fates. Sentenced to death by the Consortium judge, under the law that prohibited the use of any form of technology, Daryon and Salvia suddenly realized their fates were to become one and only.

Although it was the first time they met, they suddenly felt bounded, and joined their forces to escape the Consortium. They began a journey together, both burned by the desire to understand the origins of the world and finally figure out why they had these necklaces, and why they could not be removed. Meanwhile, the situation on Heryon was getting worse as the days went by. The metal disease did spread on the Astryan continent and animals started to turn into hybrid mechanic monsters. Nobody seemed to realize how big the danger was. Until the world started to fall into the void of carnage. Will you set them alive? Save them. Save the world, the universe, your life, and discover your origins in an odyssey you have never seen before. Explore the world in a corrupted medieval atmosphere and discover the deep secrets of the space, to finally seal your destiny in death or endless hope.
