Triangle Strategy reveals box art by Naoki Ikushima

As the release of Triangle Strategy approaches, the game’s box art by Naoki Ikushima has been unveiled. Naoki Ikushima has also been in charge of character design for Octopath Traveler, and Bravely Default II. “The future of Serenoa standing ground in war-torn land of Norzelia is in your choice.”

You too can get this box art in your hands when Triangle Strategy releases on the Nintendo Switch on 4 March 2022. Players will experience a dramatic story told in stunning HD-2D graphics, with a complex battle system reminiscent of retro tactical RPGs. They will be forced to make difficult choices as they navigate the war-torn land of Norzelia. These choices will be based on the ideals of Utility, Morality, and Liberty, which will determine their Conviction and thus how the story branches and which companions join their party. Where will your convictions lead you?

Three nations battle for control of the dwindling resources of salt and iron
Command a group of warriors as Serenoa, heir of House Wolffort, in a tangled plot where your decisions make all the difference. Key choices you make will bolster one of three convictions—Utility, Morality, Liberty—which together make up Serenoa’s world view and influence how the story will unfold. When faced with truly momentous decisions, multiple characters will weigh in by casting their votes on the Scales of Conviction. In these moments, the allies and decisions you make can determine the fate of whole nations and the continent of Norzelia itself.

Control multi-tiered battlefields to strategically secure victory

Finding the best location in turn-based battles can tip the tide of combat in your favor. Position units on higher ground to take control of the battlefield and gain the advantage with increased range. You can also flank enemies on both sides, then strike from behind for a powerful follow-up attack. Elemental chain reactions are also an important part of combat. For example, use fire to melt icy terrain, then use lightning to electrocute it. Push the enemy into the electrified water to see sparks fly!

GDC Is Full Of NFT Conferences, Stirs Anger In Game Dev Community

As this year’s Game Developer Conference ( GDC )  goes on, it looks like many developers are upset at the conference’s seemingly unilateral support of NFT integration, with multiple talks trying to get more game developers on board.

A quick look at the GDC 2022 website shows a whole 16 NFT segments, with multiple ones being flagged as sponsored panels for the event, with ceremonious titles like “Transforming games with the blockchain economy” and heralding it as a “Sea-change for F2P games”.

While corporate arms of major companies like Square Enix and Ubisoft typically voice their support for NFTs in games, it’s an open secret that actual developers are largely against the matter, and many have taken to Twitter to express their distaste for the fad.
“As game devs, the fact that NFT and blockchain talks are allowed at GDC should leave us embarrassed”, writes UI/UX designer CortanaV. “Time slots taken up to pitch vaporware that’s killing the planet and scamming people out of money cheapens GDC and our craft”.

Summary of the NFT gaming proponents at this GDC panel so far: pic.twitter.com/f4Sk9ahIVL
— Kyle Orland (@KyleOrl) March 23, 2022

Of course, it’s not just reviling NFTs- some members of the community also see it as a double-standard, since GDC had previously rejected other more relevant topics for the conference.
“I’m reminded of all the GDC talks I pitched and got rejected. Like fundamentals of paid media marketing for indie devs, and introduction to branding. But NFT talks? STEP RIGHT UP”, writes Glenn White from Epic Games.
NFTs are the effort-ful hot topic of the gaming sphere, as more investors and fanboys try to push the blockchain into games despite having no idea how most of it works.

Senior Gaming Editor for Ars Technica Kyle Orland likens it to a pyramid scheme, even describing supporters of the fad as being excited to “be landlords”:
“I’ve said this before but for play-to-earn gaming to work the money you “earn” has to come from somewhere and in the end that money comes from people who got into the game later than you, just like any pyramid scheme…“, he writes.

Call of Duty Ricochet Anti-Cheat goes live this week

Call of Duty’s proprietary anti-cheat tool, Ricochet Anti-Cheat, will be going live in Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard. The kernel-level anti-cheat driver will come into effect later this week, beginning in the Asia-Pacific region before expanding worldwide.

Considering that Call of Duty: Warzone has a well-documented history of cheaters, with thousands of accounts being banned every month for the offense, the anti-cheat tool is one of the most awaited additions in the Warzone Pacific update.

When players boot up Warzone Pacific, they’ll see the Ricochet Anti-Cheat logo as part of the game’s loading screen. The kernel-driver installation process is automatic. Once available, when Warzone Pacific launches, the driver will launch with the game. When players exit the game, the driver will shut down.
Ricochet Anti-Cheat is an evolving initiative that will grow stronger as its systems learn more about cheating behaviour. With every new update, cheaters will be forced to change their tactics, which provides the developers with more information to identify and expel them from the community. Learn how to report cheaters with the following links:

This is not the first time that Samsung has partnered up with Genshin Impact to release character themed products. As early as late last year, we saw the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro receive their very own Ganyu Edition which comes with multiple Ganyu themed goodies such as stickers, wallpapers, acrylic charms and many more.
Much like the Ganyu Edition of the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Buds2 Pro, it will take some before these upcoming Genshin Impact Nilou themed accessories for the Galaxy S23 Ultra makes its way to international markets.

Princess Connect to be published in Thailand

The game has an official Facebook page that Thai readers can check out, with a pre-registration campaign to boot.

The pre-registration reward milestones are as follows:

“To those who have pre-ordered with us,” the letter reads. “We will ensure to do right by you. Our customers (sic) service will be contacting you soon to readjust your purchases, to what you are most comfortable with. Once again, we appreciate you and thank you for the support”.

Last week, the retailer was reportedly adding a mandatory bundle, forcing customers to also pre-order Cyberpunk 2077 as well as purchasing a “Mystery Bundle 3-Pack” and various accessories. This significantly pushed up the price of the pre-order, leading many netizens to feel like they were being taken for a ride.
Other retailers had also seized the moment to score some free PR, simply by saying they would not be forcing bundles with the PS5.
This is another chapter in the rocky saga of the PS5’s launch in Malaysia, after it was finally announced the console would be launching here almost a month after Singapore’s launch.
After that, pre-orders opened but were snapped up as quickly as they opened. Following that, there was also the surge in scalpers, who’d only attempted the pre-order to sell it back to those desperate to get it at launch.
The PS5 launches in Malaysia 10th December, 2020.

While Anno is most well known for his work on the Evangelion series, he’s also been hard at work helming multiple dramatic reimaginings of classic Japanese characters. It started with Shin Godzilla, which returned the popular monster to its political commentary roots as young politicians and scientists are forced to deal with a problem their seniors chose to ignore.

After that it was announced Anno would be working on Shin Ultraman, a less grimdark cinematic take on the iconic Ultraman character. That movie was previously slated for a Summer 2021 release, though has been delayed due to COVID-19.
Kamen Rider is one of the biggest mainstays of Japanese culture, with a rotating cast of Riders and different stories giving every different person an attachment to their own rider.

Solo Leveling ends at 179 chapters after ~3 years

Solo Leveling ends its story as of 30 December 2021, after about 3 years since its first publication in March 2018. Solo Leveling ends at 179 chapters, which may seem relatively low number, considering how many contemporary Japanese mangaka have much longer running series.

Nevertheless, that means the story has concluded for now, unless any plans for sequels or spin-offs crop up. As it were, plans for a (presumably mobile) game from Netmarble, as well as a film and drama adaptation have been discussed prior, though actual teasers have been scarce at best. That’s not even mentioning the anime that people have been hankering for, for at least two whole years, that remain either well hidden or simply non-existent. What’s tangible is that there will be soundtrack released for the manhwa come February 2022 (and still is not a confirmation for an anime).

If you’d like something right now, you can buy volumes of the series from Yen Press, while you wait for the adaptations. The official blurb:
Known as the the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind, E-rank hunter Jinwoo Sung’s contribution to raids amounts to trying not to get killed. Unfortunately, between his mother’s hospital bills, his sister’s tuition, and his own lack of job prospects, he has no choice but to continue to put his life on the line. So when an opportunity arises for a bigger payout, he takes it…only to come face-to-face with a being whose power outranks anything he’s ever seen! With the party leader missing an arm and the only healer a quivering mess, can Jinwoo somehow find them a way out?

New Ragnarok Online: Love At First Sight by Tencent Games For Mobile!

We all know and love Ragnarok Online as it was pretty much our childhood game that we played on the PC. The game that features cute 2D graphics had pretty much caught our attention and now Tencent is developing a new one specially for the mobile. Yes, this is not the first one. Previously, we had another RO game for the mobile called Ragnarok Mobile: Eternal Love or Guardians of Eternal Love, which is the official English version of the one that was released in China and then Korea recently.

However, during ChinaJoy 2018, Tencent Games announced one of their many new games for the mobile which is Ragnarok Online: Love At First Sight (translated from 仙境传说: 爱如初见). Apparently, this is a collaboration between Tencent Games, Dream2 and Huanle Entertainment as they were mentioned in the trailer. The game’s design is unlike the original RO game. This time, the characters will be in 3D in a 3D world with its rotatable camera on the map or battlefield.

Battle system
Climbing
Weather system
Players will be able to experience new features like a day and night setting, the ever changing weather, climbing, special encounters and a 20 player PVP. Of course, it wouldn’t be an RO game if they didn’t have their beautiful towns, class advancements, costumes and mounts. Since it’s going to be on mobile, the controls will be like an ARPG optimized for the mobile setting.
Costume
PvE
Poring Mount
Bear Mount
Dream2 is also the Chinese studio who made the previous RO mobile, Ragnarok Online: Guardians of Eternal Love/ Eternal Love. Though Gravity, the original creator of Ragnarok Online, was not mentioned in here, Gravity was involved in Ragnarok Online: Guardians of Eternal Love/ Eternal Love.

As of now, there’re no news on an English version. But we’re pretty sure that they will have an English version – which will probably be released months later after the game is launched in China. Hopefully, they recognize the English player base and they will have it ready by their official launch date as well.

[Rumor] Konami is Working on New Castlevania, Metal Gear and Silent Hill Projects.

Andy Robinson of Video Game Chronicles has reported that an anonymous publishing source that Konami is working on new Castlevania, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill projects.

This shows a potential shift for the company back into triple AAA console development after years of focusing on mobile and pachinko games following the release of the critically panned Metal Gear Survive in 2018.

Warning: These reports are still just rumors, it is possible that they will be confirmed untrue

Tweet to @GamerBraves

Robison’s source says that Konami is internally developing a new Castlevania game, which will act as a “re-imagining” of the series. The last major Castlevania title was back in 2014 with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Since then the series has received a mobile spin-off, Grimoire of Souls, and an animated series on Netflix.

A Metal Gear Solid Remake is reportedly in the works, being developed by Virtuos, a Singaporean studio that assists in the development of AAA games. They’ve previously worked on many first-party PlayStation titles like Gravity Rush 2 and Uncharted 4:A Thiefs End. The most recently worked on the Dark Souls Remaster for Nintendo Switch.
It has been suggested that the Metal Gear Remake will be of either the original Metal Gear Solid or Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Multiple Silent Hill games are reportedly in development. It is stated that one of them will be developed by a prominent Japanese developer. The report says that Konami has shot down a number of new Silent Hill pitches but has become more open to the series being outsourced to new developers.
Of course, there is still a chance that none of these are true, Konami has shut down rumors of new games in the past however we will have to wait and see. Perhaps we could see Konami return to console gaming (outside of eFootball) sometime soon.

Free-roam open-world co-op where players can team up with their friends for up to four-players and explore London, encounter city events, complete challenges and participate in side activities.

New co-op missions for two-to-four players using new co-op gameplay mechanics and giving players the opportunity to recruit the perfect team and fight back against London threats across the most iconic landmarks of the city.

Guardian Protocol:

DedSec tracks an algorithm that could allow AI to override human decisions. If they don’t find it, it could be used to turn weaponized drones into autonomous executioners.

Not in Our Name:

A secret group is stealing DedSec’s name. Worse, they’re also stealing information so their employer, a ruthless tabloid owner, can use it to blackmail their victims.

Additionally, as part of Watch Dogs: Legion’s robust post-launch plan in 2021, all players will have access to future free updates such as Invasion PvP mode, all-new co-op missions and free characters. Season Pass owners will also have access later this year to extra DedSec missions, the Watch Dogs: Legion – Bloodline story expansion, new playable heroes such as Mina, a subject of transhuman experiments who possesses the mind control ability; Darcy, a member of the Assassin Order; Aiden Pearce and Wrench from the Watch Dogs franchise.

SINoALICE Taiwan Ends Service in Yoko Taro Fashion, By Forcefully Deleting Player’s Saved Data

The SINoALICE servers for Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau will be ending its services on 10th November but the game will be going out in a bang in the most Yoko Taro way possible, by forcefully deleting player’s saved data.

According to the official SINoALICE Chinese Facebook page, the post on 25th October talks about the game’s End of Service for the Chinese servers.

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

From the post, it mentions that after the scheduled maintenance on 27th October, Yoko Taro and the production team will be in charge of the main ending for the game.
Twitter user sino_english also mentions that there are several requirements players have to get before unlocking the ending:
Follow us on Twitter
Follow @GamerBraves
and Tweet us
Tweet to @GamerBraves

Clear through the Fusion Arc to unlock Elimination Arc
Clear through the Elimination/Alice Chapter 5 (Players will not be able to go back to the main story after this!)
Verses 1 to 9 of the finale will be released on 27th Oct while the final verse will be released on 3rd Nov.

There are also several notes that players will have to take consideration when attempting the final chapter. Co-op mode will not unlock the final chapter, and that the final verse will require you to only use Alice.
Players should also tread carefully as the opponent in verse 10 is very strong and players will not be able to proceed if the fight is lost. Even if players were to force quit the game, once you re-enter, you’ll still be at verse 10 until you clear it.
After finishing the final chapter, a special ending clip will play and once that clip is over, players are forcefully logged out from the game and you won’t be able to log in again, essentially deleting them from existence. With that being said, players are recommended to clear all the content in the game before setting foot in the final chapter.
While the Japanese and Global version for SINoALICE will not be affected by this, although we can expect a similar fashion when the fated day arrives. This also isn’t the first time where Yoko Taro had done something similar to this, where the ending of NieR: Automata also have players delete their save files.

Balan Wonderworld Review – Comparison Is The Death Of Wonderworld

Balan Wonderworld is definitely an odd one. After all, 3D Platformers are a niche genre, with many being dropped in favor of more trendy genres like Metroidvanias. Admittedly, I really like the look of Balan Wonderworld- Balan’s design is one of the best mascots in recent years, having that Sonic-esque level of charm to it. That being said, a sexy hat man does not a videogame make, and the overall product we got definitely left me wanting.

The Setup
So Balan Wonderworld’s premise is actually really good. The Balan Theatre is a magical place that appears before you once your heart is off-balance. Run by the mysterious Balan, he takes you to Wonderworld- a magical realm where you travel through other peoples hearts defeating monsters called Negati and saving them from the negative emotions that plague their hearts.

You’re basically freeing people’s hearts, making this feel like an inversion of Persona 5
I’m really a sucker for this kind of story, especially the way Balan Wonderworld presents it. The characters you save have relatively wholesome stories- there’s no torture porn here. Each character’s arc being them overcoming their fears and doing what they love is really wholesome, and it definitely makes the game feel like a project someone wanted to make, rather than just a game for the sake of making one.
The designs in the game are also pretty solid, with Balan definitely making one of the best game mascots in recent years. The enemies, the Negati, also have a great Kingdom Hearts-esque design to them too. Unfortunately this is pretty much the end of my praise for the game, since it has way more problems once you overcome this.

Gameplay
Like we covered in our demo preview of the game, Balan Wonderworld is a 3D platformer, much like previous big titles like Sonic Adventure and Mario 64. The problem with the 3D platformer genre is that it’s actually pretty niche- the only ones people remember are the near-legendary successes, like the aforementioned Mario series, Banjo-Kazooie and Sonic Adventure. The problem is that people just don’t remember the middle-of-the-road ones, which makes games like Balan look much worse in comparison since your only point of reference is the best of the genre.

The controls don’t feel particularly good- this was a problem in the demo as well, with the characters jumps feeling like they could have used a couple more coats of polish to feel really tight. This is a huge problem for a game that’s built entirely on jumping, and it’s not like it’s a growing pains problem- Super Mario Odyssey is a contemporary pick in the genre and moving around feels great in that.
I think part of it comes down to the animations. There’s a weird disconnect, with the animation looking like something more at home with the Sonic series but with the movement of Mario if he was really sleepy. The game just feels like there’s this lack of directive cohesion, which is a shame since, as mentioned, so many titles in the genre have that down pat.
Explore To Your Heart’s Content, Mandatory
One thing I really like though is the core loop of the games. The game wants one thing of you- to explore everything the Wonderworld has to offer. It does this by locking progress behind Balan Trophies, which you’ll only get by doing everything in the level. You don’t need to 100% every stage to unlock the next one, but the levels are definitely designed that bee-lining it for the exit is going to lead you short on Trophies to get to the next area.
You can go back to a central hub, where you’ll be able to replay any past stages as well. This is a really important feature, since exploration was clearly how the developers intended you to enjoy the game.

Aside from that, you’ll also need to explore to find the game’s costumes. These affect your abilities, with your character needing to find keys first to then unlock the costumes, which means two layers of exploration. Some stages will straight up have problems you can’t solve until you progress the story to unlock more costumes to backtrack and get them, which adds another layer of stuff to do since you’re now probably taking note of every impasse hoping for a future solution.
As someone who enjoys Metroidvanias, this isn’t too bad a feature to include in your game. Like I said, it’s a great way to promote the experience you want players to have with your games. After all, what better way to promote exploration in your games than to make every problem solved by just flipping over every rock? Personally though, I feel like adding keys to costumes was maybe one layer too many, but that probably boils down to player preference.
On the other hand though, the levels feel really well designed for the tools you get. The costumes you get are all based on the themes of the stage, with the fireman stage having fireman-themed costumes, et cetera. You can also carry over costumes from previous stages, which plays into the backtracking portion of the game. I really like the fact that the main problems of every stage are built to be solved by that stage’s costumes- it’s a simple enough part of game design but it just feels cohesive.
They’re also pretty unique, with each stage having its own gimmicks. The water stage, for example has pillars of water you can swim up, while another windy stage has you doing Sonic-style divebombs to platform over gaps. Something about it just feels well planned out, and I’ve got to give the game props for doing that.
The only failure on this end is the previously mentioned polish issues. I’d be way more inclined to explore the levels if, you know, moving didn’t always feel off. Think of it like if your left show always slid a little forward with every step you took. It’s not necessarily dangerous, but you would wear those shoes less since moving in them felt so weird.
Costumes
I think your enjoyment of Balan Wonderworld is also going to hinge greatly on how well you react to the game’s costumes. The stage-mandatory costumes are great- interacting with the stage’s mechanics in an amazing way that makes the game feel well thought out. The problem is for every two really cool costumes, there’s a third one that just makes you question why it’s even here. The earliest example of this is the Box Fox, whose entire schtick is turning into a box. At random.

The other problem with the costumes is that they are your action button. What the action button does is entirely dependent on the costume equipped, and you have no universal mechanics outside of this. This is easily where the game is its most frustrating, because it doesn’t feel like there’s a reason for it other than the idea they didn’t want players to make jumps with the wrong costume.
Of course, don’t get hit if you like your costume- costumes are also your rings in Sonic, with each hit taking out your active costume. This gets into the frustrating part of the game loop- turning over every rock in the game in a fit of frustration not because exploring is fun, but because you needed a jumping costume but lost it due to a bad jump.
Being able to stockpile costumes is good, but like I mentioned above having it be a two-step process of finding keys first just makes collecting all the costumes feel more like a relief than something that’s supposed to be fun.
Bossfights

Every stage ends with you facing off against a boss, born of the corrupted hearts of the stage’s host. The bosses look really cool, looking like an amalgamation of all the costumes you get. They’re pretty simple overall, however, usually just requiring you to know which costume to hit it with to win the fight.
See, I think once you get to the bosses, you really understand the crux of why Balan Wonderworld does what it does. In a sense, the game’s simplicity has its plus points- it’s incredibly accessible for children. Bosses have bursts of time where they just don’t do anything, and that’s a great time for a younger kid to sit back and think about what they need to do to clear the stage.
But I feel like it’s almost patronizingly long, especially since its not like Mario was only aimed at elite fans of the series. Platformers in particular have done really well at having simple controls without feeling patronizing about it- I mean just look at Little Nightmares 2. It almost feels like an outdated school of game design, where someone believed that younger gamers can’t handle managing more than two buttons at once, needing 30 seconds to decide which of the two buttons to hit.

One feature I do like though is the inclusion of Boss Trophies. You get them for approaching the boss differently, and give good reason to replay the bosses. It’s a great way to encourage more exploration against the bosses, even if they’re ultimately pretty easy to figure out.
More Show Off-Stage
One thing you’ve got to give the game is that there’s stuff to do outside of exploring the Wonderworld. Each stage has hidden Balan’s Bouts- minigames where you get to play as Balan, completing quick-time events for better scores. These are just kind of fun breaks from exploring, where you also get to enjoy the great music of the game. Admittedly, Balan’s Bout is kind of overly simple, even visually- it uses the same stock background for every bout, and it took about two of the bouts before they just melted into yet another thing I’d have to do to unlock the next stage.

On the plus side there’s some element of randomness to it- sometimes instead of inflicting your will on random debris, Balan will get to fight his counterpart, Lance. It does nothing to the minigame, other than slightly contextualize what you’re doing by giving it a villain.
The other feature they’ve added is the Isle of Tims. Sonic fans might recognize this for its similarity to Sonic Adventure’s Chao Garden. The cute little Tims can be fed with droplets collected while exploring Wonderworld, with each color improving your character somewhat. Functionality aside, messing around with the Tims is genuinely fun- they’re adorable creatures, and messing around with them as they chase you around the stage is loads of fun.

You can even build a Tower of Tims, which is just a really fun side objective to work towards. It doesn’t seem to do anything meaningful, but at least it’s fun to mess around with the Tims while they make their adorable legally-distinct-pikachu noises.
Closing Thoughts
I really wanted to like Balan Wonderworld. especially since it’s visually one of the most interesting games I’ve seen in a while. Instead I can’t decide if the game either needed more time in the oven, or if a directorial decision was made to have the game be simple to the point it feels boring.
On the plus side though, it’s decent as a game that’s absolutely fine for kids to play. The co-op lets you play as the two main characters, and the game design is so safe I don’t think you’ll have to worry about any of your children appearing on ScrubQuotes playing the game without a serious case of sibling rivalry.
Ultimately though, the game almost does harm to the 3d platformer genre, having all the kid-friendly visuals of its best titles but none of what mechanically makes the genre so compelling.

Play Exos Heroes in English!

While EXOS Heroes isn’t officially available globally yet, some enterprising players have figured out a way for you to play this South Korean mobile RPG in English! Shared on Reddit by u/CANNON_the_only, they credit the Exos Heroes Facebook Group for devising the method.

As the post notes, a rooted device is required. The steps provided are as follows:

3. Find the line <string name=”TextLanguage”>Korean</string>
4. Change it to <string name=”TextLanguage”>English</string>
5. Find the line <string name=”Language”>Korean</string>
6. Change it to <string name=”Language”>English</string>
The result will appear as such:

The Reddit post posits that the developers are gradually translating the game, spitballing a roughly 90% completion, so the English text is not entirely complete. As it is changing the string in the Korean version, you can attempt this by downloading the Korean version of EXOS Heroes then following the steps to play the game in English.
The official global release is expected for “early 2020”, so if we take into consideration the apparently mostly complete translation, then we might be able to expect the game soon enough. Do be aware that changing the language in this manner could be against terms of service, so do at your own risk.

Mobius Final Fantasy ends service 31 March 2020

Pokemon Sleep Now Available In Malaysia

GamerBraves Newsletter Vol. 103 – The Glory of The Barbie/Oppenheimer Double Feature

Rather abruptly, Mobius Final Fantasy announced today that it ends service 31 March 2020. The mobile Final Fantasy RPG launched in Japan 4 June 2015, and went international 3 August 2016. Considering the general lifespan of mobile titles, almost five years is quite impressive.

The story of Palamecia ends quite suddenly with this news. Sales of premium currency have also halted, but they will still be available to use until the game shuts down for good. End of service is scheduled for 31 March 2020, 16:00 JST. Details of refunds will be announced later in the app and the official website.

At time of writing, the shut down appears to be solely for the Japanese server. However, the worldwide server could likely see the same fate at a later point. The Japanese notice states that updates will continue until end of service.

The story blurb on the official website goes:

“The Warrior of Light shall vanquish Chaos, leading the world to salvation.”
Thus it was foretold in the prophecy… yet, that which came to pass was not what was foretold. The Chaos that drew mankind to despair was destroyed, but the hero who gave them hope vanished.
Yes – by your hand.
It was you who ended the tale of “The Warrior of Light”. And so, the brave figure of “The Warrior of Light” – of YOU – has been forgotten by the world.
Their memory lost, the people whisper. There exists the one who transformed this once beautiful, hope-filled world.
“The Warrior of Despair”, known to none.
In an age now bereft of tales to be told, the world hungers… for a new legend.

That’ll be it then, without the full completion of the legend, as Mobius Final Fantasy ends, on a somber note.

There will be 7 different designs for the 2nd wave of collections and here is a brief look at some of them:

The first design shows off a new Anya design that features her iconic line of “I like Peanuts, I hate carrots” as well as 4 of her cute facial expressions that we’ve seen in the anime.

Making his debut in the first episode of season 2 of Spy x Family, the future-seeing fluffy companion – Bond will also have his own design in this collection. Bond’s design is more on the minimalist side where it shows a picture of bond on the pocket of the tee as well as a simple logo at the back of the t-shirt.

The third design shows off visuals from the opening music video from the first season of Spy x Family which shows off Yor, Loid and Anya in a stylised art-style. There’s also other styles that you can browse through on their official website here.
