The first trailer introduces J.J., a knight who mechanized his entire body with armor that looks like that of a samurai. He meets our heroes while fighting to protect his homeland.

He’s calm and collected and always puts his comrades’ safety at the top of his priorities.

The second is about Theo, a childhood friend of Laeticia and Albaird, he’s basically considered by them like an older brother. He’s the commander of the Aucerian Navy and very respected by his sailors.

Despite his warm-hearted and magnanimous attitude, he’s torn between the political ideas of his hawkish father and his fealty to Laeticia and his father.

You can watch the trailers below.
