Dirge Fantasy

"This is no 'fairy tale'" - Tagline

Dirge Fantasy (ダージのファンタジーDāji no fantajī) is a "3rd Person Shooter RPG" developed by Capcom / AccelGames and published by Square Enix.

Gameplay
The gameplay is a blend of Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-, Final Fantasy Type-0, and the Devil May Cry series (mostly Devil May Cry 3). It's also identical to the Kingdom Hearts series.

When playing the game the player has the ability to choose characters from the M.S. Menu, as well as other stuff!

Story Intro
Near the beginning of time the great king, Koros, and his beloved wife, Kathie, rose a child called Sharah and kept peace with the world but then the great, terribly evil, greedy king Jazzah, declared war upon Earth! Koros and Kathie sealed their child up for her own safety while they moved on to fight in the war...but it was a trap!! A gigantic nuclear bomb explodes and removes most of the Earth!

Now in the modern time the demons rule the world and Sharah was held as a rarely-aging prisoner... But one girl has managed to storm through a hell of a prison... Her name is Jaja, a.k.a. Razzai *then the screen turns black with slashing and gunshots heard in the background*.

Thanks to Razzai, Sharah was freed, and Sharah thanked her for freeing her. Razzai introduces herself, the same going for Sharah, who insists being called Zah. Then they grab each others hand, which marks the sole mission to kill Jazzah and free the Earth! Then the screen immediately turns black and a phone ring can be heard in the background for a few seconds.

Title Menu

 * New Game
 * In-Training - An easy version which makes all the enemies in the game weak, even the bosses, but no Super ones. You'll also receive "Onion" equipment (which are only available in the lateral part of this game) along with some common items and a few rare ones.
 * Rookie - A regular difficulty, but Superbosses are enabled here.
 * Champion - A harder version which makes all the enemies in the game stronger, especially the bosses, but not the Super ones to add fairness.
 * Ultimate - All the enemies and bosses in the game are even stronger in this difficulty, and have their own Style Attacks! Each of your party members gains the EXP Zero ability which (obviously) makes you gain no EXP, but for everything else they're tripled!
