Square Enix today unveiled a preview for a new game title, Antique Carnevale (アンティーク カルネヴァーレ, Antique is Latin for ancient meaning, Carnevale is Carnival), the game does not publish a publishing platform, and other characters and information will be announced in the next few days.
In addition to the announcements, there was also a game website and a trailer for the first character named Bernhard. The other four characters will be announced on July 7, 10, 12 and 14, respectively.
The plot of the game is described as follows:
Have you considered the difference between "thing" and "creature", or the difference between "man" and "doll"? If someone asks, people will probably say, "They can't move themselves." "But after entering the labyrinth... is the puppet really unable to move?" And can "people" really move according to their own will?
Searching for answers over and over again, the traveler is completely disoriented in the maze... The teenager who visited the maze, he would hear the mourning of the "people" who died in the maze. He will also know the desire to be trapped in a maze of "puppets".
We pray for the young man who is somewhere between a "man" and a "puppet." ”
Bernhard is the incarnation of the summoning beast Wyvern, who usually guards the city as Lord Valamian. He has a strong sense of justice, but he usually makes a quick conclusion, which forces those around him to try to calm him down. He travels to the labyrinth in order to complete his mission to find his next master. The line says, "Although it seems that I am self-aware, it is also possible that I am following the trajectory of someone's instructions." Even so, would you still be willing to be friends with me, master? "Then the relationship between the person and the doll in the game will probably be a very delicate plot element.
Bernhard is voiced by Natsuki Hanae, who has voiced characters such as 9S in Neil: Automatic Humanoid and Alm in Fire Emblem Echo.
It is very interesting to note that on the official website you will find the words "RPG", "Chess", "Switch", "Flip", and "Battle". In addition, in the character trailer, it is also full of many board game components, and the current preliminary inference should be a maze exploration RPG game with Othello as the mechanism. In addition, the title logo of the game looks very FF flavorful...
The full intelligence and information of Antique Carnevale will be released on July 18.
