Fantasia, Requiem of the Abyss First Look

Man, I haven’t updated this blog is forever…

But that’s going to change, today! Because…

The sequel of Fantasia, the Realm of Thanos, Fantasia, Requiem of the Abyss is finally hereeeee~!

But, since I don’t exactly have a butt load of time, I’m going over the beginning. Although that was covered in the demo, who played the demo a long time ago? -sees hands- SO Yeah~!

——–

I would suggest that, if you haven’t, play the first Fantasia before starting this game. But I think if you’re reading this, you probably already have!

So the day starts out with us finding out about the world of Fantasia 26 years after the original. Yes, Oswald is still Oswald, still a bit of a jerk, but he’s married to Cheryl (the heroine of the original), so he’s mellowed out. However, his daughter Valen (aka the heroine of this story) is a teenager, so naturally she argues with her parents.

…I just thought that this was hilarious.

Apparently there has been some kind of war that’s reactivated the realm of Thanos, which kinda sucks. Well, the war and Thanos reactivating both. But you see, there was one good thing about that.

I don't know about you, but I thought his hair was purple. Must've been the realm.

Because this is the way you introduce yourself to other people.

It’s forgivable, because he’s been stuck in a realm all of his life.

Oh, if you didn’t know, Cain is a bit mean toward Valen. Hee hee. ;D Daddy’s Girl. But it looks like they’ve met before…childhood friends, eh~?

Oh, you wanted to see the other guys~?

Well, when you go out with Cain, you’re presented with three places that you can go when Cain disappears. As for me, I chose the Central District, and I came with this guy.

Did anyone else get Kyle Dunamis vibes from this guy?

Volg Tribe, ladies and gentlemen. He’s a Nomad, which basically means he’s a half-animal kind of thing. If you can see his tail under the text. Unlike Cain, he’s a cheerful guy. And yeah, the hero thing. He’s apparently here to join a guild.

Unfortunately Cain has been chasing your tail the entire time without you knowing. Seriously, what is your immortal power, Valen? I don’t even…

Oh look, Cheryl.

Tee hee!

It’s all right. You’re a mom, and leaving your sheltered teenage daughter with a supposed childhood friend might lead to accidental pregnancy. We understand.

They eat together with Oswald (well, I chose that option).

I don’t exactly remember this part, but sometime after, Cheryl and Valen go grocery shopping. It’s a bit crowded. Thankfully, to break the boredom…

In the original, we had Ian. In this game...

You gotta keep,

one jump ahead of the breadline,

I steal only what I can afford!

Sorry. This is Cyrus, but feel free to call Chip anyway! He likes money. Which reminds me of Anise fro TotA, who I don’t particularly like, but I swear to you that Cyrus is 10x better than that brat. Because he– oh, wait. Spoilers.

So after Volg fends him off, we think we’re done when suddenly…

He kinda reminds me of my mom. With green hair.

If he looks slightly familiar to you, that’s because this is Raven Roughknight, aka Gil’s much more perkier son. He’s a genius. An eccentric genius. -hug-

Sometime later (I think it might’ve been a day…I’m getting really lost XD) We meet this stranger.

Nicer than he looks!

This is Nazim, Prince of Valdrox, the Southern kingdom, which is more importantly known as the land of MANGOES. He came to Valdrus like a thief in the night…okay, maybe not. He’s a Navandel, or a Dark Elf. He has woman issues, kinda like Guy from Tales of the Abyss, but darker.

So, he’s here for a peace talk with Seldrus. Apparently all these people are coming along, like Klavier Anton Richard Klavios!

I hope you are meme worthy as Richard...but probably not.

Our token bishonen is here! Hooray! He’s the prince of Seldrus, he’s blonde, and rather polite, so you have to forgive me if I accidentally call him by some other names. PRINCESS! Not that I hate him or anything. He seems fine enough. He’s also the last of the available guys to be introduced.

But speaking of the old available guys…

Does he still have issues with his powers?

It just occurred to me that Ian, back in the day, used to worship Oswald or something. XD Surely Ian grew up to be a badass too!

There’s a little party before the whole peace talk thing, thankfully, so it’s not so serious. Not that…I took this very seriously in the first place (the review)

EXPLOSIONS!

Aww, Leon has such a cute daughter.

Ciel. Token best friend character, but what the heck. She’s adorable. The greatest thing about it though, is that she already has a fiancé. Supposedly she’s enjoying her freedom as a single woman until then. And since he’s Leon’s daughter, that would make her cousins with Raven. They get along quite nicely…hehehe.

The party goes along nicely, until unfortunately some red haired anti-social sociopath (in the words of Valen) started to not feel so good. They have a little talk together…

Huh? I wonder who he's referring to?

So it seems that Cain has some issues.

This being a Fantasia game, and an otome game, there’s bound to be problems everywhere. Hehehe.

So that’s the end of the first look. If you want to play, download here (don’t worry, it’s perfectly legal, since it’s free.)

Fantasia, Requiem of the Abyss

If you have any comments or concerns…

Well, I usually would say to go post in Lemmasoft. HOWEVER, due to just how much spam people have been leaving in the WIP and Completed Games threads of this game, I think a much better idea is to lead you all to azurextwilight’s dA fanclub. Believe me, we don’t care how much you spam your love for all the guys there, because that just means more publicity for Fantasia. XD

P.S.

For the record, I proofread Volg and Cain’s paths…so feel free to ask for help if azure’s not around.

P.P.S

…I think the order of events may not be right. Oh well. -__-
