Details of Fairy Tail TGS 2019, character trailer and screenshots

Koei Tecmo shared new information and a trailer for the newly announced character Fairy tail game developed by Gust during the "Fairy tail Special Stage "at Tokyo Game Show 2019.

Here are the details:

Live an exciting story!

A gathering of dreams of popular mages!

There are more than 10 unique playable characters. Five have been announced so far: Wendy Marvell, Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet.

Build your "guild" with your allies!

The guild is your base. It is located in the city of Magnolia, which has been reproduced in the game. Your guild will grow as your adventure on different levels. As it grows, you will receive more requests on the application panel, stores will sell more items and you will even be able to create a research lab.

Powerful magic fights!

The "Mode Changer" can be activated during combat. Support characters can also help with powerful magical attacks.

Immediately after the event, various Japanese media, such as 4Gamer.net and Dengeki Online, published interviews with Koei Tecmo's producer, Keisuke Kikuchi, containing new information and screenshots. The 4Gamer.net interview also provides the following two images of the game running on a PlayStation 4 Pro:

New details include:

• The gameplay is based on the Guild, which is an important part of the original manga. The game cycle is as follows: receive a request to the guild, clear the request (monster submission, exploration, etc.) and your guild enlarges accordingly.
• As the Workshop series, the game uses a system of meeting symbols for battles. When you encounter an enemy on the ground, you enter a turn-based command entry battle scene. Like the player's group, enemies also have some training and you will need to think about the attributes and the effect range of your magic. It is described as a "highly strategic" combat system.
• MP must use magic, but there is a system that restores MP after defeating an enemy. By fulfilling certain conditions, you can also use powerful and cooperative magic attacks. More details will be announced in the future.
• The battle of Hades at the top of Tenrou Island's bow is the prologue of the match. The game begins after the collapse of the guild and rebuilding efforts begin with the help of everyone. As a story that continues from here, the arc of Great Magic Games that runs halfway through the original work will form the first half of the game's history.
• The main story follows that of the anime, but as in Gust's previous games, there will be things to do after the end. The original episodes are in preparation. In addition, original stories such as episodes and requests from each character will be dispersed so as not to disrupt the unfolding of the story.
• As the Workshop series, there is a map of the world connecting Magnolia Town and the fields. You will be able to visit several cities – an image showed Crocus.
• Fairy tail Creator Hiro Mashima oversees the graphics with regard to the appearance of the characters, as well as tips in terms of game content.
• The development is completed at about 50%.

More information is expected via a webcast in October.

Fairy tail should be released on PlayStation 4, Switch and PC worldwide in 2020.
