Marvelous has officially titled its new RPG project ETERNAL ANIMA, following a 2023 announcement. The game centers on the themes of inheritance and evolution, depicting a world where the protagonist, Wade, discovers the truth about a dystopian society. Wade possesses the ability to read memories from objects, which allows him to travel to the past to alter history and change the future.
The core gameplay features a turn-based battle system defined by a future prediction mechanic. Players can see the exact results of their commands on a timeline, including damage and turn order, with no random elements like hit rates. By targeting enemy weaknesses, players can delay actions to trigger a break, skipping the enemy's turn entirely.
Strategic depth is provided by resource management and the Wisdom Inheritance system. Players must choose which attacks to block and which to accept, as breaking enemies prevents the same strategy from working in the next turn. Through Wisdom Inheritance, Wade acquires new jobs and skills from historical artifacts, allowing for diverse party configurations and tactical variety.
Development director Katsuhisa Higuchi and producer Makoto Shioda emphasize that the game is designed for traditional JRPG fans. While the team has incorporated modern accessibility, they prioritize the tactical satisfaction of the battle system. The game remains in development, with the team focusing on refining the experience for its upcoming release.
