The developers are inspired by the classics of the genre, trying to introduce new elements characteristic of modern projects into the classic mechanics of Japanese role-playing games. Light Fairytale Episode 1 was most heavily influenced by Final Fantasy VII, which borrowed its style, setting, characters, and central conflict.
You will play as a girl, Haru, traveling with her best friend Kuroko. Together they challenged the evil empire that rules the underground Lower City. You have to explore the streets of the city, communicate with numerous residents, collect useful resources and items, and also recruit new heroes to your party. Each character is truly unique. All characters have their own personal stories and characteristics. By defeating enemies, you will upgrade the abilities of each character. Throughout the story, you will be able to reveal each of them in order to better know their stories and past.
