FuRyu’s official Twitter account released new character art for REYNATIS protagonists Marin Kirizumi (VA: Chiaki Kobayashi) and Sari Nishijima (VA: Akari Kito). These two characters will navigate Shibuya and the strange worlds lingering in between.
Development of REYNATIS is led by FuRyu’s Isobe and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth writer Kazushige Nojima, with Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts series, Final Fantasy XV) composing the game’s music. This new action RPG also inspiration from the cancelled Final Fantasy Versus XIII title and Kingdom Hearts, as fans explore a world where fantasy meets reality in Shibuya. Like Kingdom Hearts, fans may roam this intriguing world with a soundtrack by one of the world’s leading composers.
New REYNATIS Character Art
The new character art for REYNATIS protagonists Marin Kirizumi and Sari Nishijima highlights them in Suppression and Liberation Modes. Suppression Mode is essential for Marin, since it conceals his true identity as a magician. It’s also good for dodging and general evasion from enemy attacks.
Both REYNATIS protagonists may switch to Liberation Mode to deal damage to their targets. While in this mode, Marin and Sari gain a red and blue aura respectively. With proper timing, dodging enemy attacks and switching into Liberation Mode will allow the characters to deal homing attacks to all enemies. This attack is very similar to Kingdom Hearts‘ Shotlock mechanic.
REYNATIS will launch on July 25 starting at 7,980 yen for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 in Japan. A physical Liberators Box Limited Edition will be available for 12,680 yen, and the digital Liberator’s Edition will be available for just 80 yen less than the physical version. Pre-order bonuses include the “Another Weapon” for Marin / Sari, two costumes, and special The Caligula Effect and Monark themed attachments.
Lastly, NIS America will publish REYNATIS this fall for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
