Atlus has put some work into The Legend of Legacy for the Nintendo 3DS. There’s seven unique characters to play as, each with their own story, classless combat with formations and the game has been adjusted with a rare drop rate increase, reduced travel time and your money carries over into the New Game Plus so you can finally see all those endings. We have high hopes for The Legend of Legacy with it’s turned-based combat coming from collaborations between developers who have worked on Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy XIII. The Legend of Legacy is out now on the Nintendo 3DS eShop or you can snag a copy at your favorite video game retailer. If you pick of the physical version be on the lookout for the launch copies in a 6″x8″ collectors box with the 10-track music CD by composer Masashi Hamauzu and a 40-page hardcover artbook by illustrator Tomomi Kobayashi.
