Nintendo frames the protagonist as one soul charged by Sothis with saving the world after the revived demon god Balor brings the Dagdan Empire toward its end. Fortuna’s time-travelling power lets that soul return to the era of the Heroic Games and change the fates of the four heroes. Source 12 ↗
The official store also shows two customizable player characters. The reviewed material does not specify the available body, voice, gender, background or class options. Source 1 ↗
How the paths connect
| Story layer | Documented role |
|---|---|
| 1454 | The player begins in the world’s threatened future. |
| Sothis | Charges the player’s soul with saving the world. |
| Fortuna | Supplies the time-related power used to influence earlier fates. |
| 1449 | The player can take up one of the four heroes’ stories during the Heroic Games. |
| Four heroes | Cai, Dietrich, Theodora and Leda each follow a distinct path. |
Nintendo says the player can switch to a different path from each hero’s story, with progress saved for each hero. This establishes parallel progression, but not the order in which the game expects the paths to be played.
Launch verification boundary
Nintendo’s Ask the Developer Part 1 names the player character Eshmel. The release build still needs to establish Eshmel’s customization screen, starting equipment, class, growths, personal skills, relationship options and whether the player character enters normal battles directly. Source 50 ↗
