A Message from Director Niizato

Hello everybody! This is Niizato, the director of Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 will finally be releasing on May 29th, and in anticipation of that there are a few things I wanted to share.

Please, please play Fuga: Melodies of Steel 1 and Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 first if you can!

While we took the greatest care to make sure that Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 could be enjoyed without having to play the previous games, it is the finale in the series, and we're sure you will enjoy Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 even more if you know about the characters as they appeared in previous titles, or about the story that is coming to a conclusion in this latest chapter!

Clear the game in a breeze with Fast Mode!

Today's update brings Fast Mode to Fuga: Melodies of Steel 1 and 2. Put very simply, Fast Mode makes you invincible during battles. The Soul Cannon of the Fuga series forces you to sacrifice a child to defeat an enemy, but Fast Mode has no demerits whatsoever, allowing you to quickly cut through your foes. What's more, you can even use Fast Mode in the middle of your normal playthrough as a separate save data.

This means that once you've played through to the end and had your fill of the story with Fast Mode, you can go back to your original save point and enjoy the game again, this time with the battles in place. But of course, how you choose to enjoy the game is entirely up to you! Please treat it simply as an option that exists for your benefit.

You can choose to enter Fast Mode from the very start of Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3, but as someone who has worked on the game I can't personally recommend doing so. My suggestion is that you first play through the newly powered-up battle system, and if you need to, you can always change to Fast Mode halfway through!
