Each episode has specific story quests that you have to complete to advance to the next episode and eventually to finish the chapter itself. The game is split into chapters, which are then broken down further into episodes.

This is something that has been present in much of the Atelier series, but it would have been nice to be able to experience more of this rich story in a less budget manner. Instead, most of the dialogue comes in very basic scenes that often cut away from the person speaking to not show them or just outright not show their mouth moving. Having this ability to travel between locations with only a few presses of a button is really nice, especially when you are taking on quest after quest.Īlso like much of the Atelier series, cutscenes are few and far between. This extends to the main town of Magnolia as well, which has multiple fast travel spots within it that you can hop between. Like in Atelier, Fairy Tail has relatively small locations that you can travel between either by foot or just by going to a map and selecting them. This is seen especially with the game’s map system and travel structure. The series has a large roster of characters, which the game reflects quite well by offering you a number of them to choose from. The lead characters that are a part of this are dragon slayer wizard Natsu and the celestial wizard Lucy, along with a number of other characters.

That has finally changed though with Koei Tecmo enlisting developer Gust to create the simply titled Fairy Tail that has some clear inspirations from their flagship series.įor those that have never experienced anything related to Fairy Tail, the basic premise is that Fairy Tail itself is a guild full of wizards that take various jobs in return for payment.


Even so, video games for the series have been exclusively on handhelds or mobile, with none of them releasing outside of Japan at all. While the series never quite reached the heights of series like Dragon Ball and Naruto, it had a solid fan base and ended up with more than 300 episodes. Fairy Tail debuted back in 2007 in manga form before later receiving an anime adaptation, both of which were quite successful.
