There’s no trace wherever on the sort of system or gamestyle that the sport will make the most of, however it appears save to imagine this will likely be a fairly traditional, flip primarily based, fight centered fantasy RPG.

There’s at present no data on when these will likely be launched, however if you actually, actually can’t wait to play a Closing Fantasy-style sport, I’d suggest the ENNIE-winning Fabula Ultima, a incredible TTRPG that has among the finest onboarding techniques I’ve ever seen in a TTRPG.
