Story
General background to Mirage Of Tales: The Ages Of Faith. Everything suggests that war is inevitable: conflicts are becoming sharper and more acute, passions are heating up, and human nerves are stretched like a bowstring. In the center of it all were three people, whose fates were intertwined in this dangerous cycle of tangled events. They do not know each other - they each have their own history and their own path, but these three are strong enough to shake up an unjust world poisoned by cruelty and self-interest.
New graphics, unique tiles, a completely revamped map, an original storyline for Pokémon games, and an interesting approach to its implementation. The events of the Pokémon game Mirage Of Tales: The Ages Of Faith take place in the era of the harsh Middle Ages, which is fundamentally different from the usual setting of the Pokémon universe. It follows from this that neither Pokedex, nor Pokeballs, nor computers exist - such incredible technologies, electricity are simply not yet discovered. A system has been implemented according to which the player's actions affect the development of events and the attitude of the game characters to the main character. The Financial Chambers have been created - this is a function of increasing special points, which will give some privileges.
Another important feature of the Pokémon game Mirage Of Tales: The Ages Of Faith is the ability to choose one of three storylines, each of which tells about completely different heroes and their incredible stories. Prince Evandor is the sole heir to the throne of Izantine, a peaceful state renowned for its mystical aura. Safira is the princess of the powerful Dragon Empire, a country that has already conquered half of the world. A slave since childhood, a warlike girl named Kala is the last key heroine of this legend. How will the fate of these three turn out?
List of Features
- The Finance Chamber: This feature allows you to build up points for rewards over time; you get 3 points per "year" in-game. Filling any of these six icons will bring you special privileges, such as collecting a payout from the bank, accessing higher-level Pokemon, better training opportunities, or having the Merchants in your city stock better items!
- Alignment System: You can now have one of NINE Alignments! Want to play as a good person with a rebellious streak? A faith-devout villain? A level-headed bystander? The choice is yours!
- The Strategy Map: This is an interactive in-game world map! You can move the cursor around and click on location icons to gain more information about each area. You'll be using it a lot in the Council Chambers to make travel plans, battle strategies, and decisions on who to talk terms with!
- The game takes place in a medieval, Middle Eastern setting, with fresh new custom-made OWs, sprites, and graphics to match.
- In-game choices determine your Influence with people; a hidden score with certain characters. They will remember how you behave with them!
- No Pokedex, Pokeballs, or PC; as this is set in time electricity didn't even exist, let alone technology!
- Pokemon Centers have been replaced with holy temples of several different Gods. Holding a Charm for that religion will allow you to pray in its God's places of worship.
- An HM-free zone! There are items available to cover some of their functions, but even these aren't necessary to complete the game.
- Ridable Pokemon replace the Bike(still working on this!). Roam through the desert on the back of a Salamence, or charge into battle on Bastiodon!
- The unlockable Extension item exclusive to Ages Of Faith; which allows you to carry a party of 12 instead of 6!
- Several custom items to replace the standard ones we've all gotten used to, complete with their own images and descriptions.
- Up-to-date battle engine with Physical/Special Split and 4th+ Gen moves, thanks to MrDollSteak and the creators of the ROM base.
