Meiktilia has been said to bless two types of people with special gifts. "Blades" have the unparalleled and supernatural skill to destroy the physical structure of things. "Sealers" use magical abilities to destroy the metaphysical, the spiritual structure of things.

Formival's power is farther reaching and less exclusive. His remarkable power allows all things, once dead, to revive. When creatures face death, their original souls, or spiritual structure, escape their vessels of flesh, which are in turn controlled by a fragment of Formival's soul. These monsters, imbued with the spark of life by a god, grow stronger once revived and become a threat to others.

These undead creatures are collectively known as Belzeds. Due to their nature, they cannot be defeated using normal means. The true destruction of their physical and metaphysical structures requires the power of both a Blade and a Sealer. Only then will they finally cease to exist.

Due to a civil war a few years ago, Nine's homeland of Lorvin has become the nesting ground for a large number of Belzeds. A group of powerful Sorcerers, Necromancers, and Wizards crafted barriers around the kingdom to prevent an all-out massacre, but the problem itself has not simply faded away.

Realizing the time had come for more decisive actions to be taken, King Arzelide summons Nine, widely recognized as the most talented of all Blades, and Aisha, a Sealer whose incredible powers have isolated her from the outside world....

Characters
Nine Asfel - A Blade whose outstanding record for hunting Belzeds often brings him more infamy than fame. He keeps his cool despite the attention he receives for his achievements as a Blade, whether the attention is praise or score. A free-spirit by nature, he generally dislikes being bound to a single place or a set of rules for very long. He speaks withuot regard for others' feelings and favors using sarcasm to mock people he finds beneath him.

Aisha Romandine - A Sealer gifted, and cursed, with exceptional potential. Sometimes, the sheer amount of power she has been given by Meiktilia is too much of a burden for her body to bear. Her life was forever changed when her powers went out of control, taking many innocent lives. Fearing another accident, the people had her locked away, protected and cared for by the kingdom's authorities. Aisha is proud, strong and resilient. She is never afraid to stand up for what she thinks is right.

Alfred Formilio - Nine's younger brother, who was also adopted and raised by King Arzelide. While lacking Nine's brute strength, his skills as a Necromancer make him quite a formidable Blade. His personality is a far cry from Nine's. He focuses on the task at hand, determined to do what he feels is his duty. He is honest and blunt to a fault.

Arzelide Lorvin - Lorvin's current crowned monarch. A Sorcerer of unprecedented skill once known as the Keeper of Lorvin. His powers are so magnificent that he was able to shield the entire kingdom with a magical barrier, protecting it from attack during the last great war.

Meiktilia - In Junovald, she is praised as a god of death and destruction, making her Formival's opposite. She is known for destroying and absorbing all life. Nine and Aisha's special Blade and Sealer abilities exist because of Meiktilia's destructive powers and her interest in them leads her to grant them even more power.

System Basics: Battle System
» Character switching is key!! Having to switch characters in Last Rebellion adds a bit of a twist to battles and field exploration. The system allows you to switch between Nine and Aisha at will. They each possess unique, customizable skill sets, so it's important to assign skills that suit your play style to both characters. This way you'll be better prepared for what's lurking in the shadows of Junovald!

» Use dual blades and vicious magic on your foes! Battles play out in a traditional turn-based, command selection fashion. During the player's turn, select [Attack & Stamp] or [Stamp Magic] and use the [Switch] ability to input commands for both Nine and Aisha. Switching is not counted as a turn; one turn involves both Nine and Aisha taking action. The order they attack is up to the player. Their actions will unfold immediately, though some skills may not take effect until the enemy's turn or the player's next turn (status, ailment, spells, etc).

» Eliminate Belzeds using "Stamp" and "Seal!" When using a Blade's sword to attack, mystical glyphs will attach themselves to the enemy's targeted body part. These glyphs are referred to as Stamps. Stamps act as the destination point for all Stamp Magic, like a homing beacon. In one physical attack turn, you can Stamp multiple enemies and multiple body parts.

» Stamp Magic - After enemies have been stamped, you can use the Stamp Magic command. Once chosen, the Stamp Magic will effect all Stamped body parts, making it highly effective for defeating enemies in a timely manner. For example, if you have Stamped an enemy completely, you may deal damage equivalent to several sword strikes!

» Seal - Belzeds are essentially undead bodies being manipulated by Formival's soul. Destroying their body along won't keep them from reviving; they will only return even more powerful than before. To defeat them completely, their souls must be Sealed quickly after the body's defenses are down.

» Absorb - Once an enemy has been knocked down by attacks, the skill Absorb can be used before Sealing the enemy to absorb MP. In exchange, the enemies will revive within an even quicker timeframe. Be sure to Seal them as soon as possible after using Absorb!
