The Last Story - Art detailing battle system

[Shonen]

- dev blog post entitled "Chaos and Order"
- "Making order from chaos. Or, pulling the enemies who were in order into chaos. Using one of the main character's skills called 'Gathering,' we wanted to make a system that would let you control that type of situation."
- the focus of the enemy during battle is marked with a line, called the 'pointer'
- "This is probably the most special feature when you see this game."
- the pointer's color will indicate enemy type,
- the archer will attempt to disrupt your own mage's magic chants
- use the 'gather' skill to steal the focus of the enemy
- when gather is used, the enemy will turn his focus on you
- for example, if your mage is being attacked, you can use gather to have the enemies focus on you, and then your mage can continue their chant
- "Controlling chaos and order on the battle field ties in to victory."
- strategy and signals during battle are the key to success
- "Combat in games is the same. Ordered movements of your allies is the key to victory. But what if there were an opponent who could bring confusion to that order?"
