So, today is the release day for the second episode of Dragon Emblem, Gunpei explained.
"Wait, today!?"
"Today!?"
Gars, anticipating the release date, were taken aback to learn that Dragon Emblem had already been released.
The venue for the current expo was at the Big Sight, located on the outskirts of Tokyo, not too far from Akihabara where Pentagon Shop was situated, just about an hour away by train.
The gars gathered around the booth, their anxious expressions unsure of what to do. Should they dash to Akihabara this instant to get their hands on Dragon Emblem?
"But can we just leave this presentation we just started?" one wondered aloud, torn between the desire to leave and the obligation not to miss the ga show.
It was clear that a myriad of thoughts was racing through their minds.
"Doesn't it feel awkward just standing here?"
"I feel like I'm going crazy..."
They were itching to leave at that mont, but the dilemma of missing the ga show was palpable in their hesitating expressions.
In an attempt to reassure them, I spoke calmly, trying to put their minds at ease.
"We've prepared plenty of stock for Dragon Emblem. Additionally, we'll restock at 7 PM, so even if you stay for all the Tokyo Ga Show events, you won't miss out on purchasing Dragon Emblem."
"Oh... that's a relief."
"Yeah, I was planning to rush to Akihabara after just seeing the Pentagon presentation."
Clearing my throat to gather their attention, I continued, "Let's proceed with our presentation. First, let's talk about the world of this new Dragon Emblem..."
As I spoke, a huge map appeared on the screen.
"The second episode of Dragon Emblem, titled 'Era of Conflict,' reflects the ongoing confrontation between two forces: humans and demons. The blue areas represent human strongholds, while the red ones are demon territories."
"Oh... it's like a giant ga of territorial control," one user aptly remarked, earning nods of agreent from the crowd.
"That's right. In the first episode, players who cleared the hardcore mode could choose one of these factions. If you have data from the previous ga, you can start the second episode and create a character with a slightly special role: the Commander."
"Huh? What's a Commander?"
As if in response to the question, a 2.5D representation of the Commander appeared on the screen.
Clad in gleaming armor with a fluttering cape, one figure resembled a human Commander, while another, with outspread wings and folded arms, represented the demon Commander.
"The Commanders are literally the leaders of each faction. They can command up to five subordinates depending on their command level. They can also depart for enemy territories uniquely. There, you can obtain various rare items, including weapons. Let give you a hint: in the second episode of Dragon Emblem, even for the sa weapon, the assigned attributes can be completely different. So items might increase critical hit rate by 3%, while others from the sa weapon type could boost it up to 8%."
At that mont, the screen displayed the Commander's inventory, showcasing helts, armor, shoulder guards, bracelets, pants, boots, and an array of incredible accessories. But what astonished the crowd even more was...
"Whoa!! The armor changes the graphics!"
"Wow!! This is amazing!"
While it was natural to think that equipnt would affect a character's appearance, back in the mid-90s, gas where gear changed character graphics were rare.
Though so gas had models that rely changed colors with different gear, even this level of detail would have gars eagerly seeking new armor and weapons.
Watching the character swiftly change equipnt on screen, I spoke with a smile, "Within here, there are legendary items that only 1% of Dragon Emblem's players can possess. Let unveil one rare-grade set for those curious."
Bam!
As all the gear slots randomly spun, they finally aligned to reveal the legendary set.
"Sniper's Seris!?"
The figure, resembling a ranger clad in sleek leather armor, wielding a massive bow, was none other than Seris, one of the heroes of Dragon Emblem.
"Can we obtain equipnt from the old heroes?"
"Well, it looks cool, but at the sa ti, it's mind-boggling. What kind of effort do we need to put in to get that?"
"Look at the stats next to it... I don't know what level it is, but each piece boosts stats by 40."
"Truly a legendary item..."
"Still want it. If Seris is there, there might be Croel or other hero sets. Like the scorching mage, Mirea..."
"M... Mirea!!"
"Oh, that's aweso!"
Gars started ntioning their favorite heroes one by one, their excitent rising.
"All the equipnt for the heroes you're talking about is ready. And there are plans for future updates too. Let's set aside the character introductions for now and move on to explaining the actual gaplay."
As I spoke, on both sides of the stage, Uchimura and Hayashi took their seats at the Complete Raon.
They showcased the Dragon Emblem CD cases to the audience and then inserted them into the Complete Raon.
"Wow!! Darn it!! Just looking at the gaplay CD makes want to buy it again..."
"I can't resist. Once this ga show is over, I'm heading straight to Akihabara."
Uchimura and Hayashi, seeming to enjoy the reactions of the ecstatic fans, slightly smiled as they gripped their gapads.
Monts later, different profile screens appeared on both sides, prompting people to compare Uchimura and Hayashi's characters.
Uchimura's character, labeled as 'Unknown rcenary,' had nothing equipped, while Hayashi's, wearing pristine armor from head to toe, was a 'Grade 1 Commander.'
"Let's start the ga right away."
