Fate will bring Raymond, Laeticia, and several other ally characters together.
The designs of the character were all done by renowned artist Akiman known for his work on Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness as well as several Capcom fighting game series like Street Fighter and Darkstalkers.

Those who pre-order either the Digital Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition will also receive an in-game item weapon pack for the protagonists, the “Greatsword” for Raymond, as well as the “Lionheart’s Blutgang”, and the “Flashing Naglering” for Laeticia.
