VERSUS - Fate
FATE
Several years had passed since the Gaia and the Messiah signed a treaty to cease fire...
Tokyo was peaceful on the surface, but neither side had lost the desire to conquer the other in the future.
As the tension mounds and the fear spreads, the extremists were anxious to start yet another war.
One day, a mysterious man approached both sides with a proposition.
"I can provide you with a place where you can unleash your anger and frustration..."
Nobody knew what he was trying to accomplish by encouraging them to battle each other.
But one thing was certain - the peaceful era was about to end.
Face your density and investigate this new movement, Devil Busters!
FUJIMI MIDGARD
West of Shinjuku Babel - people used to call this area "Fujimi Town, Nakano District".
Since then, the area had changed its name to "Fujimi Midgard". "Midgard" literally means "Nakano (Middle of the Field)". It also refers to a world where humans live, with constant conflicts.
An underground battlefield was established here by a mysterious figure only known as "Gonzo".
Every day and night, the extremists and the street fighters alike would battle each other.
Some Devil Busters had been spotted participating in this illegal operation - for investigation, for fame, or perhaps, for pure excitement...
15 vs 15
In FATE, participating players are divided evenly into two (2) teams, SCARLET and AZURE, and they will battle each other in Fujimi Midgard.
Each team will hold up to 15 players, meaning up to 60 characters (including the summoned demons) could be on the same field at once.
The objective is to capture as many bases located on the field. The more bases you capture, and the longer you maintain control of the base(s), the more points your team will gain.
FATE focuses on team play and strategies, rather than individual battle skills.
YAGINUMA
When the VERSUS operation began, a mysterious woman only known as "Yaginuma" started to appear in every town.
Appointed by "Gonzo", she is currently in charge of the VERSUS operations. Her mannerism and her horns may remind you of someone else...
We are not sure what Gonzo and Yaginuma are, just yet.
NEXT
In Norse mythology, it is said that when brave warriors die in battle in Midgard, valkyries may invite them to Valhalla to become Einherjars.
Just like the mythology, when the fighters succeed in Fujimi Midgard, they will be invited to battle in another place.
There, it is said that they would battle to death for their own fame...
