The latest issue of Weekly Jump has first details on the new protagonists of Dragon Quest Heroes II, as well as information on new supporting characters and the world which the game is set.
All five characters introduced this time were designed by Dragon Quest series character designer Akira Toriyama.
- Razel (Male Protagonist) – A proud novice knight. Officer candidate student in Gywall studying abroad at neighboring country Orenka’s officer school. A passionate guy who is always energetically racing ahead.
- Tereshia (Female Protagonist) – A fighting female class president. Officer candidate student at Gywall and Razel’s cousin. Provides some levelheadedness to balance Razel’s tendancy to race ahead.
- Cesare – A prince and commander in chief of the army. Prince of Gywall and childhood friend of the protagonists. Adored for his personality, but unmanageable when he loses his temper.
- Orneze – The respected “big sister”-esque character of the protagonists. A warrior who serves the Kingdom of Zebion. Famous as the red female warrior who uses a giant ax. Cheerful and reliable.
- King Zebion – The king of Zebion, a suzerain state comprised of seven countries.
An ancient prophecy in the world of Dragon Quest Heroes II says there will be a battle that involves all seven countries, which has just begun. Tereshia visits Razel, who is studying abroad in Orenka. Their home country Gywall and Orenka are the two countries that trigger the battle, which the protagonists get sucked into.
Dragon Quest Heroes II is due out for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita in Japan on May 27.
