The theme song is called “Frustration” and is sung by Ayane. It will feature battle music by Motoi Sakuraba, known for his work in Star Ocean, Dark Souls, Tales of, and many other series.
It will be a free-to-play title with micro-transactions. We don’t have any gameplay details yet, but those of you who are interested can check out the pre-registration campaign:
