Fairy Tail 2's story is the climax of the original work, the Alvarez Empire Arc. Natsu and Lucy are the main characters, fighting alongside other members of the Fairy Tail Guild. They will combine their skills to fight Emperor Spriggan (Zeref) of the Alvarez Empire, his team of elite (and beautiful) mages, and the Black Dragon Acnologia. You can learn more about the main players, see their character art, and check out some screenshots here. Fairy Tail 2 also includes a follow-up to the manga's final battle in an original chapter, The Key to the Unknown.
The release date trailer gives players a first look at the heroic, speedy magic battles the team must use to defeat their greatest nemesis and his elite unit of mages. Compared to the first Fairy Tail game, battles have been revamped by using the full scope of the guild members' abilities to reflect the exciting action. Take advantage of the synergy between characters, creating devastating attacks.
