Synopsis:
Long ago, a dreadful war was fought between the Goddess and the Vile God. Because they were equally matched, they both created a vast number of special weapons imbued with their godly energy, each containing the life force of a fairy.
Armed with these weapons, the deities continued their conflict until they finally sealed each other away into the great unknown.
A long time has passed since this ancient conflict, and the weapons created by the Goddess and the Vile God have since been scattered across the world.
These weapons – now known as “Furies” – are highly sought after by warriors who call themselves “Fencers”. It is said that whoever collects a Fury will be granted one wish. When a young man named Fang decides to rashly pull a Fury from a stone, he inadvertently becomes a Fencer himself, forever altering the course of his destiny.

If you missed Fairy Fencer F, and you’re a fan of Japanese RPG’s or Nippon Ichi/Compile Heart games, then you’ll be happy to hear that you can pick up the Steam version later this year. Probably soon, given that this game came out late last year (September 2014).
A sequel has also been announced for PS4, so RPG fans will certainly want to play this game before that one hits.
For videogame collectors, this is another JRPG to add to your list. You’ll definitely want to track down that collector’s edition while it’s still possible.
