Feature Fridays #4
All good things must come to an end and alas, this is our last Feature Friday.
What, you say? There is one more Friday left? Why, yes there is, but we have a very special announcement.
In order to incentivize more people to back the campaign during the last week: we will be holding a closing stream for backers only!
It will feature a huge amount of musical talent, some hilarious mini-games where the campaign team gets a little revenge on the creators (Muwa-hahaha), some amazing announcements, and some cool interviews.
We’ll have more information next Monday, but if there is any day that you, as a backer, do not want to miss, it’s next Friday!
Campaign Updates
Stretch Goals
Those new character announcements seemed to help and we ended up clear 1 goal from Armed Fantasia and 2 from Penny Blood!
Check out the new goals!
- Additional Languages 1(CLEARED!)
-
We will add support for languages beyond the initial English and Japanese support so that players from other countries can enjoy the game.
This time, we’re adding Chinese and Korean support. - Treasure Map System(135,000,000 yen)/[Approx. $940,000]
-
We will implement a mini-game where players gain maps with hints to hidden treasures all across the world.
The harder the treasure is to find, the better the items will be. Some will even help you on your adventure. - Battle Arena(137,500,000 yen)/[Approx. $964,000]
-
This unlocks a Battle Arena where even the strongest of characters will be put to their test against monsters more fearsome than those in the original game, or battles under strict special conditions.
You can also challenge bosses from the main story you’ve beaten before. - HINT: 80 Days(????yen)
-
Until we find out what it is, guess what the upgrade will be.
Community Game
With only two days left for this week’s community goals, our heroes may see their untimely end.
Both communities are very, very close to the finish line but bare minimum they will need Mercedes’s “Magnificent Fusillade” and Luca’s “Charge” to be able to do enough damage to clear this week’s goal.
So community, get talking, work together, and save our heroes!
AMA on Reddit
As mentioned in the previous update we will be doing an AMA on Reddit in the r/IAMA channel (also cross-linked in the r/RPG channel).
Both Kaneko-san from Armed Fantasia and Machida-san for Penny Blood will be in attendance.
This is your chance to ask both creators your burning questions.
The AMA will take place on the following board on September 23rd, 2022 at 11PM EST/8PM PST.

Content Updates
Our final developer interviews feature Planning Director of Armed Fantasia Atsushi Hashimoto – A man who has worked on JRPGs all his life.
Interview with Planning Director Atsushi Hashimoto
KanekoKaneko comments – Mr. Hashimoto
Despite having met by chance, Mr. Hashimoto and I share a lot of… I suppose you’d call it ideals or philosophy, when it comes to RPGs.
We’re able to see eye-to-eye on many levels because of this.
Being with him makes it feel like if there were anything I thought impossible to put into a game, now they’re possible. Which is why we have him working on the project.
He’s worked in many places with many different skilled professionals.
So it could be from that experience, but he listens very well and is great at getting things done.
But more than that, he’s a nice guy but isn’t afraid to make demands about what he wants done.
That’s all of our main developer interviews.
So, what did you think? As always, let us know in the comments.
Your kind words justify our hard work!
