Get ready to dive into the latest entry in the epic Trails series!The Story:Year 1209 of the Septian Calendar.
The threat posed by Almata has passed. Peace has finally returned to Calvard. And, for a time, that peace goes uninterrupted—until a CID Special Ops unit is slaughtered by an unknown assailant.
With authorities working to contain the situation, criminal forces take the chance to make their own moves.
Meanwhile, a spriggan by the name of Van Arkride begins his own investigation—after prompting from an unexpected visitor.
Who could be responsible for this massacre? What was their objective? And how does it all relate to Agnès' search for the eighth Genesis?A crimson beast's roar. A chance meeting with a boy and girl, both embroiled in a mysterious search. These are the circumstances that lure Arkride Solutions down the trail of an inescapable fate.
Characters:
Agnès Claudel
A first year at the prestigious Aramis Academy who currently serves on its Student Council. Despite her polite manner of speaking and at times meek demeanor, Agnès has shown great strength and determination while employed at Arkride Solutions—especially when facing off against the seedy underbelly of society. Agnès first met Van while searching for eight prototype orbments known as the Oct-Geneses, which she inherited from her great-grandfather. As thanks for taking on her request, she began working as one of Arkride Solution's part-time assistants. At present, Agnès has recovered seven of the eight Geneses. Unfortunately, while continuing her search for the last remaining Genesis, she's had no choice but to also divide her time between preparing for the Aramis Academy Festival and periodically helping out around Arkride Solutions. Regarding her relationship with Van, she both respects and admires him as her employer. However, she seems to be harboring some more amorous feelings for him as well...
Van Arkride
The man at the head of Arkride Solutions. A lover of sweets, saunas, and orbal cars. Due to his job as a spriggan, Van has a tendency to take on legally-questionable jobs. However, the fact that he occasionally walks on the edge of the law does not preclude him from doing good by others—as is evidenced by his numerous personal contacts. While tracking down the Oct-Geneses at Agnès' request, Van developed the ability to transform into an armored form known as the Grendel with the help of Mare, the holo core installed within his combat orbment. It was with this new ability that he was able to fend off the mafia group known as Almata. Having once terrorized the entirety of the Republic, Almata was eventually brought to its knees by the Arkride Solutions team during the fight for the Oct-Geneses. Upon the quelling of this threat, however, they decided to temporarily go their separate ways. Now left to himself in a less-than-lively office, Van is free to return to his lone-wolf lifestyle once more.
Elaine Auclair
An A-rank bracer affiliated with the Edith branch of the Bracer Guild. She is occasionally referred to by the moniker 'Beauty's Blade.' Due to her dignified beauty and masterful skill with a sword, Elaine tends to catch the eye of the media more often than not. Unfortunately, this also leads to talent agencies offering her contracts for modeling and acting—she always declines. Outside of being the poster girl for the Bracer Guild, Elaine has no present interest in joining the world of entertainment. During her high school years, she enjoyed a brief and fleeting romance with Van before he suddenly vanished without so much as a word. It was only recently, after seven years, that the two were able to reunite. Although their lingering feelings for each other have left their current relationship a bit tense, their time fighting Almata together was able to strengthen their bond once more. Some time after the events involving Almata and the Oct-Geneses, Elaine received word that the Central Intelligence Department's elite Gamma Squad had been brutally murdered by an unknown assailant, and that a 'crimson' monster was spotted at the scene of the crime...
Celis Ortesia
The fourth of the twelve Dominions belonging to the Gralsritter, an order of holy knights within the Septian Church. Despite her small stature and youthful appearance, Celis is both foul-mouthed and temperamental; not only will she send foes flying for getting on her bad side, but she'll even pick fights with those she deems worthy opponents. Regarding combat, Celis specializes in a fighting style that requires her to wield a giant templar sword—one that's roughly as tall as she is. She was initially quite skeptical of Van upon learning that Bergard had taken him on as a student. However, over the course of the incidents surrounding Almata and the Oct-Geneses, she has grown to be marginally more trusting of him.Choose Your Chapters
Van and his collaborators will not always travel together during the events of The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II. At times, some of the group may split off in order to take care of tasks in different areas of Calvard concurrently. Because of this, each act contains multiple chapters you can play in any order. Progress the story in the order you choose!
Each chapter features a different cast of characters as we see their side of the act's story play out.Unique Missions
Certain chapters will feature missions that utilize the unique skillsets of the characters in that chapter's party. For example, directly controlling the holo core AI, Mare, to hack the orbal network, or using Swin to silently tail a suspicious individual.
Investigate the Märchen Garten!
In the Märchen Garten, you can freely build a party from any of the playable characters and explore areas that have been meticulously recreated within a virtual space.
Completing a specific mission in each sub-section of these areas will grant you access to the next, and you'll eventually be confronted by a powerful opponent after progressing far enough.
Defeating these bosses grants the party a number of unique and rare items, as well as lots of shard tokens, which are necessary for analyzing Mystic Cubes.
The Märchen Garten can be accessed at nearly any time while progressing through the main storyline. Even if characters are in different parts of Calvard during the events of the main story, they can still team up and form a party while inside the virtual space.
Analyze Mystic Cubes for Tons of Items!
Mystic Cubes only exist within the orbal network, but can be analyzed by Mare in exchange for shard tokens. Shard tokens can be found either by exploring the Märchen Garten, or using Shard Search.
Analyzing these cubes will not only reward you with tons of sepith, but also consumable items, accessories, rare equipment, and other unique items—some of which can even be used to upgrade your crafts.
Boost Your Battle Prowess with Craft Upgrades!
Special items can be obtained via Mystic Cube analysis that allows each character to upgrade their crafts and S-Crafts.
On top of improved power, stun values, etc., this can also reduce the amount of time needed before a character can act again after using a craft, which can make certain crafts a more optimal choice than ever before!
Also, strengthening a character's craft to a certain degree can grant additional status buffs to that character, such as increased accuracy or higher Max HP.
Craft enhancements apply even outside of the Märchen Garten, so exploring virtual spaces, analyzing Mystic Cubes, and buffing your crafts can do wonders for your overall combat ability.
Ideal For Exploration and Combat Alike! It's Marduk Support!
The Marduk Company has dispatched service concierge Mirabel Aalton as your liaison within the Märchen Garten to provide you with all manner of unique support services.
These include the option to restore your CP (Craft Points), purchase items, and take on various mini-game style challenges. On top of all that, she can even help you build a customized soundtrack for play within the Märchen Garten.
This feature allows players to choose which tracks they want to play during field exploration, field battles, command battles, and on the Märchen Garten service menu.
Find Shard Tokens via Shard Search
While in towns, dungeons, etc. you can activate a function that will create a shard boundary around the party, revealing any objects in the vicinity that react to shards.
Outside of just finding shard tokens for use in Mystic Cube analysis, this can also reveal items, recovery devices, and breakable objects hidden underneath shard camouflage!Battle System:
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II builds on the seamless transition between field battles and command battles introduced in the previous game with new mechanics that can be used in both: Cross Charge & EX Chains! Mastering the use of these two combo mechanics can provide you with overwhelming firepower to use against your opponents.
Cross Charge
If you manage to Perfect Dodge an enemy's attack during a field battle, the Cross Charge icon will appear!
Pushing the correct button while the icon is on-screen will swap in another party member, who will simultaneously execute a charge attack on your foe! As a bonus, the party member that you swap in will have enhanced attack power for a period of time.
EX Chains
EX Chains can be activated by fulfilling specific conditions during command battles.
Once these conditions have been met, using a craft or normal attack against a stunned enemy will automatically activate an EX Chain!
This allows party members with SCLM activated to launch a simultaneous attack that will also impact nearby enemies, dealing massive damage.
Cut Down Foes with Cross Charge and EX Chains!
The charge attack performed during a Cross Charge has a high chance of stunning an enemy, so following it up by switching to command battle and performing an EX Chain can be an effective strategy for annihilating large groups of enemies with high defense!Card Game: Seven Hearts
Seven Hearts is a four-player, competitive card game where clever use of the various effects on your Arts Cards is key to draining your opponents' life points and claiming victory.
These Arts Cards include attack cards of each basic elemental type (Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind) and special effect cards in each of the four elements as well.
There are also certain cards that can be aligned with the higher elements (Time, Space, and Mirage) for a total of eleven possible card types. The game proceeds with each player using one of the cards randomly dealt to them on their turn.
Each player's life points and the total cards remaining in their hand are used to calculate their ranking at the end of the game. In the event of a tie, the player whose turn comes around sooner in the turn order is declared the winner.
Collecting Balloons with FIO
There's trouble brewing at Edith's Trion Mall!
You'll need to control FIO, a hover-type orbal drone, to collect the balloons spread all over Trion Mall within the time limit!
