Fairy Tail 2 brings fans into the final storyline with improved gameplay – Tokyo Game Show 2024

2022, fairy tail Fans are lucky enough to have Koei Tecmo game fairy tail. Loosely following the story of the anime and manga of the same name, it was received relatively well. However, with the manga series ending in 2017 and the anime ending in 2019, the video game adaptation of the series still has some stories to explore. Now, in December 2024, we are coming to the end fairy tail And then there are some upcoming fairy tail 2 from Koei Tecmo. We spent some time playing it during Tokyo Game Show 2024.

fairy tail 2 Taking players and fans of the anime and manga series to the final storyline fairy tailAlvarez Arc. More specifically, players appear to start at volume 52 of the manga series or episode 287 of the anime series. The demo thus begins players with an intense confrontation between the characters Makarov Dreyar and Zeref Dragneel. It’s a great opening, at least for a demo, and it gets us right into action, ready for the upcoming event.

The upcoming event is the first battle in our demo. have fairy tail Main characters Natsu Dragoneel, Lucy Heartfillia and Erza Scarlet fight against the evil Spriggan 12 member Agil Ram Ajeel Raml, a battle reminiscent of their rivalry in the animated and manga series. Its real purpose, however, is to introduce players to combat mechanics.

Fans of the previous issue fairy tail The game series will immediately notice that the combat system has been revamped. Instead of having to go into a menu to choose which attack to use, the four attacks are now set to square, triangle, circle, and the X button (for PS5). In the demo, the square button was the preset attack, while the other three buttons were designated for more powerful, character-specific attacks. Unfortunately, for many random encounters you seem to be mostly using preset attacks. But when you use it, you’ll build up a separate meter to use more powerful and character-specific attacks. It’s a fun little dynamic that adds action to the turn-based combat system.

Another small change in combat is the shield gauge on your opponent’s health. When these meters are damaged, you can perform a combo attack with one of your party members, called a “link attack.” It’s a bit unfortunate that this is labeled as a combo attack rather than the powerful “Unison Raid” attack that occasionally appears in the anime and manga series. But this is understandable, because “Unison Raid” is supposed to be the ultimate attack, not a simple combination attack.

Although the 2024 Tokyo Game Show showed fairy tail 2 Give players a chance to explore the final arc fairy tail anime and manga series, it looks like the game will also have a brand new story following the events of the anime and manga. according to a Koei Tecmo As part of the Tokyo Game Show 2024 staff, the game has created a new story following the Alvarez arc, but before the events of 2024 Fairy Tail: The 100 Year Quest. So, despite being an adaptation of the Alvarez arc, fans of the anime and manga series will still have something to look forward to after completing the “main” story.

fairy tail 2 This is not an easy game to pick up for those unfamiliar with the story fairy tail franchise. There are some menu options that allow players to look up character history, but this is more of a homework assignment than a natural introduction. But for fans fairy tailthis game is a great way to experience the Alvarez arc from the comics and animated series, albeit with some liberties. fairy tailyou’ll want to see it.
