Part of a rather classic medieval universe in which nations and houses tear each other apart to get their hands on the island of Alletain, coveted for its Jade deposits, The DioField Chronicle will entrust us with the command of a troop of mercenaries called the Blue Fox. On the battlefield, it will deploy a game system called Real-Time Tactical Battle where it will be a question of alternating between phases of play in real time and active breaks, a little like a Western C-RPG.
And if it does not shine by its realization – rather summary – the title co-developed by Square Enix and Lancarse should emphasize its plot to win the support of the players. He can also count on the reinforcement of Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell, the duo of composers hailed for their work on Game Of Thrones Where Westworldwhile the character design is ensured by Isamu Kamikokuryo (artistic director on Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XV) to give substance to its universe and its characters.
In any case, it will be possible to try it out from August 10 via the deployment of a demo offering the first chapter of the story and whose backup can be used on the final game, the release of which is set for September 22. . In the meantime, Lancarse and Square Enix have allowed a one-hour presentation (starting at 9:45) to be broadcast on the Japanese YouTube channel Washagana TV. Finally, note that the prices of the various Japanese editions of the game have also been announced: the standard edition, in physical as well as in dematerialized form, will be offered at a price of 7.678 yen (about 54 euros); while the Digital Deluxe Edition will be sold at a price of 10.978 yen (78 euros) and the collector’s item exclusive to Square-Enix’s online storeaccompanied by a board game, can already be pre-ordered for 16,478 yen (117 euros).
