Hello, dreamers!

Today’s major update introduces an all-new class, the Player! That’s you!

A war veteran with a sophisticated fighting style, this class requires strategic execution to assist the party and lay ruin upon the enemy! Being based on your player avatar, the Player will of course reflect that in their appearance as well!

The player character not only receives a cool new look, but a backstory and dialogue too. Being forced to work with Advent against their will, can they overcome their resentment for the organization to help find a cure for humanity?

You can keep your current save file, or start a fresh one to experience all of the new story elements! Whichever you choose, I hope you enjoy throwing yourself at the frontlines!
