NIS America revealed new details about the story and characters of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero. The story begins in Ivoire, a world covered almost entirely with water.
In the story of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, Marona and her Phantom partner, Ash, travel to various islands and solve the people’s problems. While coming home from a Chroma (contractor) job, Marona’s ship is attacked by a group of ghost ships known as the “Shipwreck Fleet.” Marona’s powers are stolen by a mysterious masked man, and Ash jumps into the fleet alone, causing the two characters to become separated.
After escaping the fleet and washing ashore on an isolated island, Marona encounters a young Phantom girl named Apricot. Apricot wants to reunite with her father, the captain of the Argento Pirate Crew who once defeated the Shipwreck Fleet. The crew is close to disbanding, since the captain has not returned. Marona agrees to help Apricot in her search as she revitalizes the crew. The two must become pirates themselves to travel the sea and expand their territory, in an effort to reunite with the ones they hold dear to them.
Here’s an overview of each character, courtesy of NIS America:
Marona
A young girl who can speak with Phantoms, the spirits of the dead.
“Chartreuse Gale!”
A girl with the unusual power to interact with the souls of the dead. Because of this power, she was once despised and called “The Possessed One” by those around her. However, she’s now treated as a hero after saving the world from Sulphur, the Lord of Terror.
She is cheerful, optimistic, and kind, and works hard as a Chroma to help solve people’s problems.
Ash
A young man who supports Marona, even in death.
“For her sake, I will not fail!”
A young Phantom man who has acted as Marona’s guardian and partner ever since her parents passed away when she was young. He’s kind, and has a strong sense of justice. Ash becomes separated from Marona while protecting her from the mysterious Shipwreck Fleet.
Apricot
A lonely pirate girl who longs to reunite with her father.
“Somebody, help this girl! Please!!!”
A lonely Phantom girl Marona encounters when she finds herself at Skullrock Island. Her swordsmanship, which she learned from her heroic pirate father, is unmatched. However, due to not being able to speak with anyone for many years, she is extremely timid.
Encouraged by the optimistic Marona, she decides to search for her lost father and revitalize his pirate crew.
Lastly, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero will release in 2025 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam
