It is here that he takes the lead of a brand new Class VII, and must guide a new generation of heroes into an unknown future.”

  • Combat Honed to a Fine Edge – Challenge oncoming threats with a combat system that has been refined over the course of decades. The addition of features like Brave Order and the Break System open up new possibilities in battle.
