In addition, the hero of the Erbon Civil War and class VII instructor, Rean Schwarzer, has disappeared. Now the students of old and new Class VII must team up with heroes from all parts of the continent to create the only chance that the world is spared from total destruction.
Key Features
The ultimate class reunion – With the largest roster in series history, heroes from around the world are trying to join the cause! The Class VII Heroes team up with Crossbell’s Special Support Section and even the Heroes of Liberl.
Battle most sophisticated – New and returning systems join the already elaborate battle of The Legend of Heroes series, including the ability to summon giant mechs for devastating attacks on the field, use Auto Battle for more purposeful battles, and Lost Arts, the most powerful orbal magic ever use to turn the tide of battle.
Tired of persecutions of war – Take a breather between epic battles with a range of mini-games, including recurring favorites like Vantage Master, fishing and puzzle games! And introduce new activities like poker, blackjack and the horror coaster.
