Sunrider 4 - Part 1: Escaping Tydaria (Prologue)

After 6 years, the series has returned and we are looking at a soft reboot of pretty much everything. Liberation Day has still taken place, but since there is no data carryover, all flags are reset and you get to start with a blank slate similar to the first game. The battle system has changed quite a bit as well, and it will take some time to get used to it. Fortunately, you have a few battles before the gloves come off, so make every moment count.

In the interim between Liberation Day and now, Kayto and Sola have been hiding on Tydaria while the rest of the group went their different ways looking for something to help turn the tide. However, some assassin drones seeking a Sharr wind up on Tydaria. Realizing the Ebon Fleet has returned, Kayto and Sola set out to get the group back together.

There are some point and click elements here that I have yet to see later on in the game (I am only in chapter 3 as of writing this). I don't know if it was something experimental for the prologue, but once we get the ship, things return largely to the way they were before. One of the changes is that the girls have a social link type system now where every rank yields something. For instance, by leveling Cosette, we get the Captain's Orders, which have changed like everything else.

I will be trying to upload this daily, but we will be kicking today off with a double upload. Let's get back into the swing of things and see how brutal these games can be on Captain difficulty.
