Age of Budding
The Age of Budding is the period furthest back in time in Elliot and Faie’s adventure. Here, at the dawn of civilization, humans use weapons of their own making to keep the beast tribes at bay.
Within the precarious balance of humans and beasts exists a tribe called the Myū that can speak the human language and use powerful magic. Does their power represent a new hope or a new threat? In it, humanity faces the greatest turning point in the history of Philabieldia.
Characters
Kai
Voiced by: Yoshimasa Hosoya / Brandon McInnis
The chief of Hitoyori, the earliest human settlement.
As the village’s young leader, he is most concerned with the beast tribe threat and feels he must protect the village at all costs.
To Kai, the Myū are nothing more than another beast tribe, and their magic a threat to the village’s safety.
Hirk
Voiced by: Yukana / Nadia Marshall
A woman of Hitoyori who has spent years studying magic, but has yet to be able to put it to practical use
She believes magic is the key to Hitoyori’s future—a means by which the village’s children might live to see adulthood—and she seeks to establish relations with the Myū in order to learn from them.
Lyudmila
Voiced by: Mamiko Noto / Allegra Clark
A woman of the Myū who lives in the snow field away from Hitoyori.
Through a certain course of events, she comes to teach magic to the humans. She possesses a strength of will that never gives in, never losing hope even in the face of the cruelest circumstances.
System
Faie’s Magic
Scattered around Philabieldia are structures known as Shrines of the Mystic wherein Faie can learn new magic powers.
Elliot will inevitably encounter obstacles impassable without certain magical assistance, so any shrines found are worth a visit.
Wrap Faie in Flames with Ignite
Light torches, melt ice, detonate explosives—fire magic is indispensable for its myriad of uses.
Beastmen bombs can be made to go off prematurely with ignite.
Draw in Surrounding Enemies and Objects with Vacuum
Items and loot dropped by enemies can be vacuumed right up.
Enemies caught in Faie’s vortex can be attacked or simply deposited off the side of a nearby ledge.
Mimic Elliot with Copy
Turn Faie into a copy of Elliot and mirror his every move, perfect for problem solving: Faie can even press switches as Elliot.
Not just swords and spears, but bombs and anything else Elliot might throw is copied, so seek out magicite that complements your attacks.
Combining Attacks and Magic for Expanded Strategies
Elliot’s attacks and Faie’s magic can be combined for synergistic effects and more effective fighting power. Experiment with magicite combinations, too, which play a crucial role.
Ripe bomb magicite increases explosive damage but delays detonation. With ignite, however, Faie can detonate the enhanced bombs at a touch.
Extra throw magicite adds a second boomerang to Elliot’s attacks, and Faie can copy that for a total of four boomerangs flying about.
