Relationships are important in Blue Reflection. Hinako, our heroine, is in a rough spot as the game begins. She’s closed herself off, due to an injury that may keep her from ever being able to dance again. However, as a magical girl fighting Sephira, making friends and strengthening relationships will help her become strong enough to defeat enemies. Fortunately, there are a number of people she can meet and interact with to make her a better person.
Interacting with people like Fumio Taya, Kaori Mitsui, Kei Narimiya, Rika Narimiya, and Rin Sanada helps form and strengthen their Bond with Hinako. This can happen during Bond Events or Date Events. The former happen at school after class, while the latter are special events that take place in their free time in other locations. You can also talk to people and learn about them and Hinako via the FreeSpace application on her phone. By interacting, you can open up Common Exploration opportunities, Essential Missions, and Important Missions. The missions are especially important, since it boosts bonds and gives experience to unlock abilities.
In addition to details on making friends, Koei Tecmo has released a new Blue Reflection story trailer. It shows what Hinako, Yuzu, and Lime will have to deal with as they attempt to help and connect to the people around them.
Blue Reflection will come to the PlayStation 4 and PC in North America on September 26, 2017. It will arrive in Europe on September 29, 2017.
