The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki Releases in Japan on August 27th

The Legend of Heroes fans, we have a release date! The latest entry in the series, The Legend of Heroes: Hajimari no Kiseki, releases in Japan on August 27th. The news was revealed in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu.

With this news comes a few more tidbits about the game itself. A new super attack, Variant Age, will be available in a party of five or more characters. The attack, which can also recover HP and BP, can be triggered after destroying objects outside of battles. Destroying said objects builds a gauge that can then be used up to three or four times in a single battle. The effect of Variant Age depends on the number of participants in battle, which can be up to 10.
