Square Enix describes the character:

After being removed from his throne by someone or something's betrayal, he awakes to find himself in Brighthome, a world where fallen warriors gather. He is recruited into the king's band of warriors called the Generals and sent to fight in a chaotic battle against invaders. But how did he, an immortal, end up in a world where only the dead can go? Together with fellow members of the generals, he begins a journey to regain his abilities as the Dismal King.

SaGa Emerald Beyond is set for release on April 25.

Each of the heroes have journeys across the game's 17 worlds. There are branching story paths and multiple endings.

Akitoshi Kawazu is the game designer/storyteller, Kenji Itō is composing the music, and Satoshi Kuramochi is designing the characters.
