[LoneWolf]

So we now know the stakes of this tournament. The two leading competitors have their own ideals that would taken to great extremes if either becomes king.

Forden is the leading representative of the religion that created the notion of "superior" and "lesser" races and therefore is responsible for the now rampant discrimination and abuse of the "lesser" races. Louis is a ambitious military man who would eliminate members of the royal family to achieve his goals.

So basically no matter who wins the kingdom will be forever changed for the worst. If Forden wins the kingdom will become a place where "superior" races rule over everything while the "lesser" races are their livestock/slaves. And if Louis wins the kingdom will become a militarized dictatorship. The protagonist's main goal may be to save the prince but it's also good to think that he's also preventing these two extremists from taking the throne and transforming the kingdom based on their warped ideals.

Thank god im watching this at 3 am, gonna forget everything

I really like Heismay. I enjoy when people make characters look more animal than human.

I also respect that he has a deep voice instead of high-pitched, squeaky one like you'd expect.

[kewa_design]

I love the artstyle. Atlus never disappoints

[NumberAkechiGlazer]

Junah definitely seems to be a *interesting* character so far.

[LottoLogista]

Heismay and Junah are my favorite characters so far. They said there will be 7 playable characters but they only mentioned 6, unless im counting wrong

[Illysi]

I love the mod fashion inspiration, what a unique choice for a fantasy setting

[tjgii]

Its fascinating to see the thinking and inspiration behind such a cool looking game that turns a lot of tropes on their head. Cannot wait!!

[date]

This game has Final Fantasy vibe with Megaten elements.

[satriopandutomo]

"Humans" as the enemy, a literal monster in this world, i can't wait to know if there are any story behind the name

[trollingisasport]

Nice to see that they've fixed the aliasing issues. That was driving me wild.

[cheenuchari]

Heismay and Junah are instant favorites of mine already. Heismay's voice sounds similar Cidolphus from Final Fantasy XVI. And Junah is Waifu material!

[robertsmith-wvhw]

This game and DQ3 os my most wanted games this year

[knight]

Magic is made out of anxiety, goddamn

[Dwesk]

I have spent almost a 100 hours on SMT5: Vengeance and have beat Persona 5 a couple years back, if this game is a good mix of both of them while pushing the Atlus JRPG style forward then it's going to be a genuine masterpiece.

[Yuriko-toki]

Cant wait for it! 😊 Very Interesting Characters und Tribes! Story Drama interessting so far. Will play IT day one!

[Alma-kzzo]

I wonder if we can get a "ATLUS Excluse" showcase for the music, I've only listened to the music on trailers and showcases, but I'm very interested in it.

[senojnoivaz]

Future me. Check back after you finish this game. See if Louis has a last name. Maybe something like “Eifer”

[zbaksh]

im gonna name my protagonist.."Legoshi".

heismay is gonna be a favorite of mine.

Is the prince a secret or something? At one part of the trailer, they say that the aging king has no heir, and then later they talk about the prince being the heir to the throne. Anyone else catch that?
