The sequel further enhances the series’ signature HD 2D graphics – an impressive mix of retro 2D characters and a beautiful 3D world.

- Brand new story and characters – Players can embark on a grand adventure in the all-new world of Solistia and experience the interwoven narratives of eight new travelers: Hikari (Warrior), Agnea (Dancer), Partitio (Trader), Osvald (Scholar), Throné (Thief), Temenos (cleric), Ochette (huntress) and Castti (apothecary).
- day and night cycle – The cityscape and path actions available to characters change from day to night, providing more opportunities for exploration and discovery.
