Falcom has revealed new details about Kyoto Xanadu, its upcoming action RPG. Players will be able to accept quests at the academy to obtain items and resources. Cursed armor sets that require purification at a Kyoto shop have also been shown, along with a key conversation system to strengthen bonds with the cast of characters.
Purification and Bond System: The Technique Behind the Decisions 🗡️
The cursed armor purification system is activated at a specific shop in Kyoto, using resources obtained from quests or exploration. The special conversations, meanwhile, function as branching events that alter affinity with each character. Falcom has indicated that these dialogues are not mere embellishments: they can unlock alternative routes or complementary skills for combat. Resource management between purifying equipment or improving relationships will be a key factor in progression.
Curses and Chats: The Group Therapy Nobody Asked For 💬
Because saving the world isn't enough; you also have to pay for the purification of your cursed armor while listening to your companions' existential problems. Falcom knows that a hero without charisma is just an item delivery boy. So get ready to choose between spending your savings on removing curses or investing them in a chat that might prevent your ally from going emo mid-adventure. Decisions, decisions.
