[Requests Accepted] [Studio e・go！] IZUMO4 [VJ009810]

In the 2000s, the RPG "IZUMO" became a hugely popular series, generating many fans and expanding into various media including anime and consumer games. After approximately eight years of silence, this new installment emerges as a surprising collaboration between "Debonosu Studio & Studio e-go!", which produced the original "IZUMO" series and is celebrating its 5th anniversary, and "light," which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year! The original artwork is by Kazue Yamamoto, who has provided illustrations for all previous "IZUMO" series and has created numerous heroines and spirits. The scenario is written by Tatsuya Koshiki and Ryo Takahama from "light," who are known for their intense and profound battle scenarios. The battle system is crafted by the original staff of "Debonosu Studio & Studio e-go!" who created the earlier "IZUMO" games. The music is composed by Keishi Yonao, who has consistently built and supported the complex worldviews found in various "light" works. This winter, a new era of legendary battle RPG, "IZUMO4," will be born, showcasing elements never seen before in "Debonosu Studio," "Studio e-go!," or "light." **Story** As the autumn winds begin to chill, the protagonist, Daichi Kuze, spends his ordinary days attending Yakumo Academy with his stepsister Misora and childhood friend Honami. As the annual cultural festival approaches, on his way to the local history research club, he is captivated by a girl. The girl's hair and eye colors: Bone white and — blood red. His moment of being entranced by these two colors, so far removed from his daily life, is short-lived. In an instant, the girl vanishes as if she were an illusion. The next day, Daichi encounters her again. This meeting drags him into a world beyond the ordinary, filled with various destinies surrounding his past life. **Combat Overview** In "IZUMO4," as you progress through the adventure parts, dungeon parts, which are RPG elements, will occur. Clearing dungeons will advance the story. The battle system features turn-based side-view battles. Overcome numerous strong enemies, grow your characters, and aim to clear the game. - **Traditional System: "Five Elements Combo"** All characters belong to one of the five attributes determined by the Five Elements philosophy. By connecting attacks in the order of the Five Elements' generating cycle [Wood → Fire → Earth → Metal → Water], the power of your attacks will increase! However, be careful, as if an enemy's attack interrupts, the combo will break. Think about the order of attacks and deal damage efficiently! - **New System: "Attribute Drive"** A new system to enhance battles! That is the Attribute Drive! By connecting the same attribute… for example, [Fire → Fire → Fire → Fire → Fire], while it won’t increase power like the Five Elements Combo, it allows the character to skip the enemy's action and act immediately after the last ally! Disrupt the enemy's plans and turn the battle in your favor! - **Charge and Release! "Attribute Power"** When you successfully perform a Five Elements Combo or Attribute Drive, the Attribute Power (EP) of the last attack's attribute will increase! EP is necessary for casting powerful techniques and summoning spells. Efficiently connect combos and drives to accumulate EP and wipe out the enemies! - **Equip Magatama and Master Spells!** Weapons, armor, and accessories may have slots to equip magatama. There are a total of 15 types of magatama. Equipping magatama enables spell usage and increases attack and defense power. Each magatama has levels, and as the level increases, its effects become stronger, up to a maximum of five enhancements. Whether to equip various magatama for balanced upgrades or focus on one is up to the player's strategy! **Characters** - **Daichi Kuze (CV: Takezo Koike)** A boy attending Yakumo Academy. He has been living an ordinary life with his stepsister Misora and childhood friend Honami, but everything changes when he encounters a girl after school, leading him into battles that shake the divine world due to various destinies surrounding his past life.

While being a student, she also helps at her family shrine, Kunato Shrine, as a priestess.

She has a cheerful personality and sometimes engages in hard communication like stomach punches, showing her clumsy but caring side as a sister. Although small, she possesses great physical strength. She calls Daichi "Oniichan" (big brother). When she was younger, she used to call him "Onii-chan," but she gets embarrassed when reminded of the past and tends to act out.

She is the president of the local history research club and often comes to escort the protagonist, who is a ghost member, to ensure he doesn't skip club activities. While she can be bossy and forceful, she possesses an admirable steadfastness that doesn't waver in any situation. A realist, she believes everything can be explained with logic.

So, what will happen to my business here?" - **Shirato Inasa (CV: Miina Ayukawa)** A senior at Yakumo Academy. Alongside Daichi, she is the second ghost member of the local history research club. Although small, she makes sure to flaunt her ample bust as a senior. She has a unique aura and can change the atmosphere even in tense situations. She enjoys speaking in a quirky, foreign-sounding manner mixed with odd English, which she seems to do deliberately for character. She often teases Daichi with borderline sexual harassment. Her weapon is talismans. Her attribute is Metal. "Good morning♪ Hello, you two!" - **En (CV: Elena Uminara)** Suddenly appears before Daichi one day and begins to stalk him. She is said to lead the group of monsters known as the "Yomotsu Ikusa," which are the targets of Ura Izumo's extermination efforts, and wherever she appears, the Yomotsu Ikusa are sure to follow. She is referred to as "Iwanaga-hime" (Stone Long Princess) by Ura Izumo, meaning an immortal being. Her weapon is a large scythe. Her attribute is Earth. "I'll go by En for now. If we are to define our relationship, that name would be fitting."
