The story takes place in Solistia, a land comprising an eastern and western continent divided by the sea. It is a bustling era, wherein large vessels navigate busy sea routes and the power of steam gives birth to new technologies. Some people thrill to glamorous stars of the stage and industry, while others are brought to tears by war, plague, and poverty. In this faraway realm, eight travelers hailing from different regions venture forth for their own reasons. Step into their shoes and explore the land as you see fit, using their unique talents to aid you along your journey. Embark on an adventure all your own. Begin your adventure as one of eight new travelers, each with their own origins, motivations, and unique skills. The series’ HD-2D graphics, a fusion of retro pixel art and 3DCG, have reached even greater heights. The story takes place in Solistia, where diverse cultures thrive from east to west and the industries of the new era flourish. You can sail the seas and explore every corner of a world that changes from day to night. Each traveler has a unique set of Path Actions they can use to battle townspeople, obtain items, take others along in their travels, and more. Where will you go? What will you do? Every path is yours to take. Familiar mechanics from the original game have been preserved, like the freedom to develop your travelers’ jobs and skills, as well as the Break and Boost system that made battles so exhilarating. New mechanics have also been added. Toggle between day and night with the push of a button to transform towns and the people within them. Path Actions will also vary by the time of day, enabling you to further explore the world. A new type of tale starring two travelers who now walk the same path. Each traveler possesses a unique latent power, which can be used to turn the tide of battle. Board canoes to cross rivers or sail the sea on a large vessel to voyage to every corner of the realm.
