New Fairy Tail Trailer & Screenshots Show Guest Characters; Collector’s Edition Announced for Europe

Today Koei Tecmo released a new trailer and a new gallery of official screenshots of the Fairy Tail JRPG by Atelier developer Gust. 

The assets showcase the new guest characters revealed yesterday on Famitsu including Ultear Milkovich from Crime Sorcière, Lyon Vastia from Lamia Scale, Flare Corona from Raven Tail, and Minerva Orland from Sabertooth.

On top of that, we also get to see the Guild Box collector’s edition, available for pre-order only for Europe. 

It includes the following:

• Collector’s Box
• Original Illustration B2 Poster
• Sorcerer Magazine Special Issue: Game Release Edition
• 3D Character Cards (3 Designs)
• Special sticker set
• Fairy Tale Full Game (PS4 or Switch)

Here’s some official information directly from the press release:

“During FAIRY TAIL’s gripping naxrrative players will team-up with a range of guest characters from other guilds across Magnolia to take on common enemies. These fan favourite characters, ready to team-up and support in battle, include: the ‘Arc of Time User’ Ultear Milkovich, from the Crime Sorcière guild; ‘Ice-Make Wizard,’ Lyon Vastia from the Lamia Scale guild; the ‘Burning Hair Wizard,’ Flare Corona from the Raven Tail guild; and Minerva Orland, ‘Sabertooth Guild’s Finest Lady.’

And while guest characters are not playable, they will instead join your party and automatically perform a range of powerful magic abilities – including those featured in the anime and manga!

Throughout the FAIRY TAIL adventure, from Tenrou Island to the Grand Magic Games and beyond, the guild’s famed hall becomes a key point for party members to prepare for upcoming quests. Inside the guild, items are available for sale and trade — including consumable items, Lacrima, and a variety of materials at the item shop. There’s even a selection of drinks at the bar that provide different status effects to party members. By saving up gold and purchasing upgrades for the guild, an increased inventory of items and drinks are available to purchase, and the appearance of the guild itself becomes increasingly more extravagant.

Within the guild hall, players are also able to talk to their comrades and challenge them to thrilling one-on-one duels, with the winner receiving rewards based upon the character they just defeated. Players are also able to find members of other guilds across Magnolia and challenge them to duels, leading to all-new exciting battles that have never appeared in the manga or anime!”
