Story Mode

**Story Mode** is a game mode in the *Arcana Heart* series. Included in the console versions of the games, the mode primarily focuses of the story of the series.

Upon selecting a character and arcana, and after a brief introductory cutscene, the player can choose who to fight from among three to five choices, a sixth being random as included in *Arcana Heart 3*. The only times you can't choose is when facing against a certain character, for example Heart vs. Saki, and when facing a boss character, like Mildred or Ragnarok.

When facing a boss, the player has a certain amount of time to defeat the boss, lest they get the bad ending.

## Revenge

In some cases, if you fought a character who's related to that character, they will attempt to get revenge on you.

**Arcana Heart**

  Saki Tsuzura
  Kamui Tokinomiya
  Konoha
  Mei-Fang
  Lilica Felchenrow
  Lieselotte Achenbach
  Yoriko Yasuzumi
  Kira Daidouji

**Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2**

**Arcana Heart 3**

## Trivia

* Pistrix and Dark Heart's Story Route is unavailable.
* The events of Arcana Heart 3's story likely take place some time around September 6th to September 13th, as Angelia's ending has her celebrating her birthday for the first time in years.
* In *Six Star/Xtend*, if you get a time out against Minori, she might realized that your character is not a part of the Drexler Institute or in this case, a alternate dialogue after the fight.
	+ Weirdly, this unlocks the **I...I Just Couldn't Look Away...** achievement in those versions, even if this is somehow a "bad ending".
		- Also, you won't unlock the ending illustration for that certain character (if you didn't obtained yet) when this occurs.
