In The Legend of Legacy, seven adventurers—Liber, Meurs, Owen, Bianca, Garnet, Eloise, and Filmia—arrive on the mysterious island of Avalon to pursue their own agenda as explorers. They team up with two of the other adventurers to achieve their objectives—be it exploring the island for treasure, looking for the "god" on the island, or recovering lost memories. But things change when they discover a singing stone that causes the party to see phantasms of Avalon's forgotten history.
In addition to exploring the island of Avalon, Combat will offer plenty of challenges in The Legend of Legacy. Combat is turn-based, but players will have the option to create their own formations tailored to their party of three, meaning each party member can be put into a different combat role (defending, attacking, supporting, etc.) at any given time. Formations can be saved and changed between turns as well, giving players plenty of options to maximize their strategies.
This is a big one - literally. The outer box containing The Legend of Legacy launch edition will be nearly 6" x 8" and house a delectable selection of collectibles.
Chief amongst the launch edition items is a 40-page art book with a glossy hardcover. Yes, hardcover. In it, you'll find full-color pages of character artwork, concept sketches, monster pages, and background art, accompanied by commentary from the game's character artist -- Tomomi Kobayashi -- renowned for her extravagant designs and beautiful coloring.
But it's not just your eyes who get a feast. Also included is a 10-track CD soundtrack of the game's music. Composed by the legendary Masashi Hamauzu (SaGa, Final Fantasy XIII), the mellow sounds of Avalon can accompany you wherever you go.
Like previous ATLUS releases, the Launch Edition will only be available to those who pre-order and a limited number of in-store quantity at launch.
