"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is
that it is at all comprehensible."
We're working on an english version of Aurora Hearts. It'll take some time though,
but we are working to develop a good translation.
If you like the game, you can still take a look at the demo (even if it's german)
And, of course, we would like to hear your opinions and criticism. xD"

"Faith is taking the first step
even when you don't see the whole staircase."
The world Alaysia, 1000 years ago...
Everybody lives in peace and harmony with the nature and other creatures...
The people use magical crystals to solve tasks of their daily work. These crystals are called "Aura". With Aura, people were able to cast fire or water everywhere and without problems.
The Aura crystals were bound to some places on the continents but were accessible by everyone, although only few were able to control their power. These people were called "Aurora".
But then one day, the inevitable happened...
The greed for power rised in the people's mind and everybody tried to take control of the crystals. A horrible war arised and went on for several years...
To end this war, a group of Aurora formed with the goal in mind to seal the Aura.
They managed to do this, but as all crystals were united at the same location, they fusioned and caused a fatal catastrophe. The earth bursted, millions of people died, and the Aura finally broke up into several crystals again....
The catastrophe ended the war, but also most of the planet's life...
The few who survived tried to found a new civilisation.
They sealed the Aura at different places all around the world,
to prevent an event like the great catastrophe to ever happen again.
1000 years later, nobody remembers the Aura or the catastrophe.
Only some old legends still tell the story...

"Dreams are true while they last,
and do we not live in dreams?"
Alaysia, today...
Vaan, a young boy who is on his way home with his friends Jesse and Miranda, can't believe it:
His friend Miranda disappeared and only left a letter, reading that she has to "do some business" in port Nova...
But why? They did everything as a group and never had an secrets... So Vaan and Jesse decide to follow Miranda's traces.
As they arrive in Nova, nothing is as they thought it would be...
They see Miranda fighting against the city guards; What did she do?
After that, they are united again, but not long until Miranda disappears again, this time in Nova's castle.
Strange things happen there. The young princess Ayu listens as her mother talks about the sealed Aura. She can't believe her mother's plans and decides to get help, but she gets caught and is put into prison. On the way to prison she meets Vaan heading for the castle, and so so their journey begins.

Story
Vaan is a nice, but not really clever boy. On more than one occassion he blows himself up or falls down some stairs. Some years ago, he left his home to see the world and find some adventures, together with his friends Jesse and Miranda. As they went back home again, Miranda got lost on a ship. She only left a letter behind, reading that she had to "do something in port Nova". So Van and Jesse decided to look for her, before continuing their journey.
As the story progesses, some questions about Vaan's past might grow. It may be revealed that he's not the person you always thought he was. But we won't tell you more right now, as he might be totally unintresting then!
Abilities
Vaan learns his fighting technics from his old friend Jowy. He teaches him to fight with weapons, and some supporting or theft technics. Since you can meet Jowy in different cities around the world, there's always something new to be learnt. Later on, some more difficult prerequisites have to be met to learn new skills, and you won't get the best ones easily at all!
In contrast to most of the other party members, Vaan is not able to use Aura (the game's "magic". This could be due to his... Mental disfunction - or is there another reason? But to make up for this, he has some skills nobody else is able to use! He uses weapon skills and two additional, special kinds of skill.
This & That
Because he's the main hero, everbody has to like him! Now can you identify yourself with a retard?
Well, at least he's the fastest one in the party. Also, he has got a pretty good strength and useful skills. And after all, you can't throw him out of the party! òó

Ayu
Age: 18
Height: 1,71m
Sex: Female
Born in: Royal city of Nova
Hobbies: Because of her being the princess, there's not much time for hobbies
http://imagesload.net/daten_no/12080990 ... hter08.png[/img]
Story
Ayu is the princess of the royal capital of the continent Erazia, Nova. She lives (well, that's what she thinks) in a stable and perfect world. She always lived safe and secure and never left Nova. Her mother holds her in safe distance of everything that could be a bad influence to her.
But Ayu dreams of a life outside of Nova and wants to see the world.
Her dream is about to come true, as she heards her mother Queen Milai and general of the city guard, Red, talking about the sealed and very dangerous Aura.
Not long after that, she meets Vaan and her greatest adventure begins...
Ayu has some secrets that will be revealed, and she has way more than just some sword skills!
But again, we won't tell everything at this point.
Abilities
Ayu learns her skills called "ancient art" (name might change) though notes.
These notes can be gatherd by solving side quests, or along the main story, and every note will teach her a skill. As mentioned above, there is also a second kind of skill that she is able to learn...
This & That
She is the second "main character" along with Vaan.
At the beginning she might seem a little bit shy, but she's also curious and she sure knows that she's intelligent (compared to Vaan, that is). As both of them will insist on being right, there might be some "territorial fights"...
Ayu's fighting style is typical for a sword warrior, she has a good strength, lots of defence, but isn't very fast. Like Vaan, she is not able to use Aura, but might use a different kind of magic!

Lidia
Age: ??? (lost her memory)
Size: 90-60-90
Sex: female (you bet she is)
Born in: ???
Hobbies: Hanging around in dungeons and "Wusah!!"
http://imagesload.net/daten_no/12087022 ... Mage08.png[/img]
Story
Lidia meets Vaan in Nova's dungeon. Why she has been put there is not known, since she lost her memory. But as she gets to know that Vaan and Ayu want to go on a journey, she decides to follow them and get back her memories.
Lidia is a nice but also a bit gimpy. She always is a helping hand, though her actions do not always lead to great success...
But that doesn't make her less charmant, and she always follows the group through good and bad with her great way of justice.
Abilities
Lidia is focused on skills that support the group with positive effects, or remove negative effects. In summary, she is the group's healing magician.
She learns her skills at so called "Memory Spots", spots that bring back pieces of Lidia's lost memories. These spots can be found on main or side quests. In addition, she's also able to use Aura.
This & That
Lidia is a side actor at the beginning of the game. She joins the party very early, but her background is revealed pretty late in the game. She's always commenting on everything with "Wuha!" or "Wusha!". What this means is unknown. She might be just confused...
She is a typical magician. She does
not have much strength or defence, but her magical power is enormous. With her supporting and healing skills she is the perfect healer, as long as the AP suffice.

Shaw
Age: Unknown (looks like 30)
size: 1.80m
sex: Male
Born in: Unknown
Hobbies: Travelling around and collecting Aura crystals
http://imagesload.net/daten_no/1214941246_Shaw_Fc2.png[/img]
Story
Vaan's group meets Shaw in the small mountain village Nyu, where he helps the three hero to stop a unfair ambush of the royal guard of Nova. He calls himself an Aura crystal hunter, meaning that he searches for them to seal them again at another place. This way he hopes that noone will ever find them again. He joins the group as Red and his army are trying to steal the sealed Aura from a mine in Nyu.
Abilities
Shaw usually fights with two guns, and learns his special skills through so called "holy objects". He has to take these objects to a correspondending shrine to gain new skills, and every object is bound to one shrine.
While he is an offensive character, he also has some supporting skills, although he does not reach Lidia's supporting power. Additionally, he's able to use Aura.
This & That
As he joins the party early in the game, he can be integrated very well and supports the party with his multifunctional stats. Like everyone else, he has a special role that will be revealed at a later point.
He is the only smoker in the game (wonder where he gets the cigarettes from...) and always tries to impress with his coolness.

Duke
Age: 30+
Size: 1,77m
Sex: Male
Born in: Unknown
Hobbies: Books
http://imagesload.net/daten_no/1209922167_Dukie.png[/img]
Story
Duke is an old fried of Shaw and intrested in Auro crystals, too. Because of Shaw, Duke gets to know about Vaan and decided to travel with the group and learn more about the Aura.
Duke knows a lot about the things that make the world go round... He's pretty intelligent und doesn't talk much. He often gets provoked by Vaan and is overall bad tempered.
There's not much known about Duke and he usually doesn't talk about himself. Apparently, only Shaw knows him a bit better. But Duke is a reliable friend and always reaches his goals.
Abilities
Just like Vaan and Ayu, Duke is not able to use Aura. Not that he "couldn't", he rather doesn't want to and most likely doesn't need to. Duke is the only person that uses "ancient magic", a form of casting magic without using Aura at all. But as he knows quite few skills, the need to learn more rises pretty early. He learns this new skills by reading "books of ancient magic".
This & That
To quote Vaan, Duke wears "a dress"...
He is a very skilled magician and you shouldn't let him sit on the reserve bank. His magic is more powerful than the other members' Aura skills, and some argue that his magical power is even greater than Vaans mouth. His downsides are his speed as well as his defence, so you better keep some supporting spells on him!

Of course there are more characters in the game, but as they're not relevant yet, you don't have to know them. Some of them - though not playable - also are very important to the game.

"Power is not revealed by striking hard or often,
but by striking true"
All in all, Aurora Hearts is pretty "old school", you wander through towns and solve some quests. The battle system is modificated, so it's not turn based and rather runs in real time, like the older Final Fantasy games. (so hurry with giving your battlers commands, or your enemy gets to attack twice)
In terms of graphic style, the RTP will be used, but again, some additional effects will be included.
In Aurora Hearts, we value humour very high, but emotions aren't neglected either, so Life is brought to the characters' faces by many edits.
Battles must be solved strategically, especially later in the game where you can't just trash every enemy with the same attacks over and over again.
Features include, but are not limited to:
-ATB front view battle system (KGC)
-trainable magical attacks
-OoF attacks (that are bound to weapons) aka Soul rage system by Blizzard
-customized Mog menu
-very "special" characters
-"run" function
-forging/crafting by Prexus
-"rave menu" (a second currency, exchangable for items)
-lots of mini games
-400+ items
-a broad variety of smaller missions and side quests
-custom monsters and battlers
-Bestiary by Blizzard
-world map system
-BoF-like mastery system
-Mr. Cross!!!
-other small but cool thingshttp://imagesload.net/daten_no/1222864041_crappy.png[/img]

"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is
that it is at all comprehensible."
The demo contains about 1 or two hours of gameplay (first city and dungeon)
We're working on an english version of Aurora Hearts. It'll take some time though,
but we are working to develop a good translation.
If you like the game, you can still take a look at the demo (even if it's german)
And, of course, we would like to hear your opinions and criticism. xD"
