Today’s issue of Weekly Famitsu included a spread on the upcoming JRPG Fairy Tail by Atelier developer Gust.
The article showcases guest characters from other guilds that can join your party to save the day. They will act automatically and cannot be controlled directly by the player.
We see Ultear Milkovich from Crime Sorcière, Lyon Vastia from Lamia Scale, Flare Corona from Raven Tail, and Minerva Orland from Sabertooth.
We also see the ability to challenge a friend. If you win, you’ll receive a reward depending on the character you defeat.
Last, but not least, the screenshots showcase how you can increase your guild rank by fulfilling requests. Not only this increases the variety of requests you’ll receive, but also the types of magic you can use.
The interior of the guild will also become more luxurious, with shops selling more tools and items. The same will go for the bar that will sell more drinks with a variety of effects.
You can see the images below.
If you want to learn more you should read our interview with producer Keisuke Kikuchi and watch the extensive gameplay video we recorded at a preview event in London.
You can also see the latest trailer and screenshots, more gameplay from a Japanese livestream, another promotional video, the previous trailer, another recent railer, screenshots showing plenty of playable characters, and a TV commercial.
You can then enjoy the original announcement trailer, gameplay footage from Tokyo Game Show, another gallery of screenshots, the previous batch introducing Juvia and Gajeel, and the latest focusing on Mirajane, Laxus, and Jellal.
Fairy Tail was recently delayed to June 25 in Europe and June 26 in North America for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
