Story and World
The Story Trailer introduces Asch and Finé, two young protagonists whose paths converge as they attempt to halt the lightfall — a catastrophic phenomenon that kills anything it touches. The game’s world is governed by the Determinant in the heavens, which has historically guided humanity through astral ordinances designed to maintain peace.
As the lightfall season approaches, Asch encounters Finé and her guard, Diana, in an incinerated village. Asch, guided by his own astral ordinance to “save many people,” joins Finé on a quest to defeat the provitons, entities believed to be the source of the lightfall.
The central cast includes four characters.
- Asch is a reserved boy who discovers his purpose through the journey.
- Finé is a young cleric wielding the Rainbow Astria, a power said to bring cessation to the lightfall.
- Diana serves as Finé’s guard, an Astrian Order soldier from the Holy Capital Garrison with a strong sense of justice.
- Cross, a gunner from the Lysrian City Guards, joins as a guide assigned by his captain.
