Square Enix and Lancarse detail legacy heroes and rebel factions
The game introduces two primary nations that shape the narrative landscape. The Zoldaad Empire serves as a powerful military state centered around the Fire Crystal. Rumors suggest this nation plans to invade neighbors using mass-produced airships and magitek weaponry. Life under this empire is difficult, leading to domestic unrest and the formation of a rebel army.

The narrative also involves the Sworn Six, specifically Veritas of the Flame, Earth, and Light.
