Adaptational Attractiveness: One of the selling points of the 3DS remake is the improved artwork for the character portraits of just about everyone.And in a similar vein, an single enemy patrolling an dungeon represents several on the battlefield.Challenge them and you'll have an small army to contend with.
Actually Four Mooks: Fights on the global map are usual represented by a single character.
On one hand Alm and his friends (Tobin, Gray, Kliff, and in the remake Faye) join the Deliverance alias a resistance group that tries to restore Zofia and deal with the Rigelian invasion on the other, Celica and her friends from the Priorate of Novis (Bey, Mae and Genny) plus other people so they can investigate Mila's whereabouts and restore the damaged lands without fighting. Both of them have odd marks on their hands, signaling them as The Chosen Ones for each of the countries they wre born in: Alm is this for Rigel, Celica is this for Zofia. In the Zofian village named Ram, a retired Rigelian knight named Mycen raised two youngsters named Alm and Celica together. As time passed, the people of both countries took their gods' teachings an little bit too literally: Rigel became too militarized and war-like so it started preparing to invade Zofia, which has been overcome by the greed and personal ambitions of an few key leaders and especially after the mysterious disappearance of "Mother" Mila. While Mila and her followers settled in the south, creating the kingdom of Zofia which was renowned for it's fertility and luxury. The pair eventually ended their conflict and went their separate ways.ĭuma and his followers claimed the northern half of Valentia to found the Empire of Rigel, and nation with an strong emphasis on militaristic might. The pair didn't get along, their arguments where less than civilized, and their viewpoints became more extreme. While Duma believed in one's personal strength and self-sufficiency, Mila preferred to nurture the humans. Several generations ago, there were two gods watching over the people of Valentia the benevolent Mila and the stoic Duma. The story itself takes place on Valentia, an distant continent that's to the west of Archanea.
