But when all is said and done, will the name "Blue Fox" come to be a byword for hope or darkest tragedy?
The game's story centers on a war between a militant empire and a coalition of nations resisting the empire's advances. In a deadlock in the war, the two sides turn their attention the island of Diofield, where an isolationist kingdom holds vast quantities of Jade, a necessary resource for magic. Both the empire and the alliance make their moves to claim the island's supply of Jade.
