This sequel to SCE's fantasy role-playing action game takes place on the continent of Sema, which lies far to the west of the original's Ouka continent. In Sema, there exists a great gate called Sema Gate, which rises to the heavens. People use this gate as a means of establishing direction, as it can be seen from anywhere on the continent. One day, the gate begins to change color, turning red slowly but sure from the ground up. This causes great fear in the people of Sema, as some 300 years back a great disaster in which many lives were lost was preceded by a similar change to the gate. Playing as Rou the warrior and Shunka the sorceress, you head off to the gate in order to prevent a similar disaster. You're free to switch off between the two characters based on the situation, and can make use of over 200 skill types in battle. Gameplay in the sequel is now mission based, with the story advancing as you clear missions that you've taken up from a guild.
