PlayStation 4 Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero

Take each other's hands, and everything will be all right

A completely new Phantom Brave adventure arrives as an RPG where you can do things your own way.

Set in Ivoire, a world of islands full of individuality, this RPG follows the adventures of Marona, a girl who can communicate with the souls of the dead, known as Phantoms.

Confine lets allied Phantoms possess objects on the map and join the battle. Combined with battlefields where you can move freely, it creates chaotic combat with an extraordinary degree of freedom.

A story of bonds, spun by a girl who speaks with the dead

Most of Ivoire is covered by ocean, with islands of many different sizes scattered across it. Marona, who can see Phantoms, travels among these islands with her Phantom partner Ash, making a living by fulfilling people's wishes.

One day, tragedy strikes them. A vicious fleet of ghost ships, the Shipwreck Fleet, attacks, and the two are separated.

Washed ashore on a remote island, Marona meets a Phantom girl named Apricot.

Apricot's father was the captain of the Argento Pirate Crew, which once defeated the Shipwreck Fleet. Marona offers to help Apricot, who hopes to be reunited with her missing father.

“Apricot, please. Let's fight together!”

To reunite with the people who matter most to each of them, the two work together to revive the Argento Pirate Crew.

Meet Apricot on Skullrock Island

Apricot is a lonely Phantom girl whom Marona meets on Skullrock Island, the remote island where she washes ashore.

Her swordsmanship, learned from her heroic pirate father, is outstanding. However, she struggles with conversation and is extremely timid.

The two decide to work together to search for Apricot's missing father and revive his pirate crew.

Summon your Phantom companions

Every ally is a Phantom. Summon them by having them possess—or Confine to—palm trees, huge rocks, electric fans and other objects on the battlefield.

Confining to a rock raises defense but lowers speed, while Confining to a weapon raises attack power. The object you choose changes the performance of the unit you deploy.

Move freely and plan the turn order

Characters can move freely within the battlefield. Friends and foes alike act in order of speed, so check the turn order as you plan your strategy.

Equip almost anything and attack

After moving, attack. Every item on the field can be equipped: not only swords, but rocks, flowers and even enemy characters. The item equipped also changes the skill attacks you can use.

Meet a colorful cast across Ivoire

The islands of Ivoire offer encounters with many Phantoms: Rouen, first mate of the Argento Pirate Crew; Henna, the former queen of the Hasara Kingdom, an island that is 70 percent sand; Urumi, who lives on Snowfall Island, a bitterly cold frozen land where snow falls all year; and Mayfair, who protects the lush, undeveloped island of Versailles from poachers.

Transform Marona and turn the tide

By Confining with an ally with whom she has deepened her bond, Marona changes appearance and gains a dramatic increase in her stats.

This bond-based Confine is the power of friendship that can completely change the course of battle. It also grants access to powerful special techniques.

If the extra attack “One More” activates, you may be able to defeat your enemies all at once.

Confine to battlefield gadgets

The battlefield is packed with different mechanisms, from electric fans to slot machines. Confine allied Phantoms to these gadgets to create units that can attack with actions unique to each device.

Send obstacles flying out of bounds

Knocking an opponent out of the map with an attack deals damage. Lure stronger enemies toward the edge and push them off.

Keep adventuring after the ending

There are endless ways to keep playing: Reincarnation lets you raise a character again from level 1; magical synthesis combines items; and random dungeons are yours to explore freely.
