We first heard of Farmagia (formerly Project Magia) back in early June when Marvelous kicked off their company showcase with almost eight minutes of coverage. Product Manager Takehiro Ishida offered some character introductions that fell more or less into the classic tropes we know and love. A young male JRPG protagonist who leaps before he looks? You don’t say.
Tropes and jokes aside, during the most recent Nintendo Direct, fans of the upcoming monster-farming game got their first look at gameplay footage as well as a release date: Farmagia launches for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) on November 1st.
Below you can check out said footage, as well as overview details (via XSEED Games), and a few screenshots.
Farmagia Overview
In the world of Felicidad farmers known as Farmagia raise and command monsters, who live in harmony under the watchful eye of the Magus Diluculum. This peace brought prosperity to the land until the death of the Magus, which drew opportunists seeking to use monsters to seize power for themselves.
The spreading conflict reaches the town of Centvelt, forcing resident Farmagia Ten and his friends to join the battle against the despotic new ruler Glaza. Players will take the role of Ten and his fellow Farmagia friends, cultivating and commanding an army of home-grown monsters as they explore Felicidad’s treacherous lands, searching for valuable resources to improve their farm.
As Ten’s skill and farm improve, he’ll have access to more monsters to nurture and new traits to aid him in his fight for freedom!
Key Features
- Command a Monster Horde in Battle – Control Ten as he fights his way through the dangerous lands of Felicidad, culminating in huge boss battles. His weapons are the monsters he grows on his farm. Command his creature army and take down his foes!
- Monster Farming and Ranching – Increase the size of Ten’s army by harvesting new monsters on his farm, then train them on his ranch to increase their strength and research new abilities for use in battle.
- An Iconic Manga Artist’s Touch – Hiro Mashima’s creative genius brings life to Felicidad with unique character and monster designs, endowing Farmagia with his unmistakable style.
- Friends with Benefits – Befriend the Elemental Spirits living across the world of Felicidad and increase Ten’s relationship bonds to unlock new ultimate monsters and transformations, adding new strength to his fight against Glaza.
