It was first released in Japan by A-Lim on July 3, 2013,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thebridge.jp/en/2013/07/three-vc-firms-establsih-a-lim )〕 and later released worldwide by Gumi Asia on December 13, 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gamesinasia.com/japanese-game-brave-frontier-made-in-singapore-really )〕 ==Gameplay== The game follows similarly to Square Enix's ''Valkyrie Profile'' in terms of game mechanics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/15/brave-frontier-channels-little-bit-valkyrie-profile/ )〕 Within their first play, players must enter their name and choose their starting unit before proceeding to the tutorial and into the main game itself. The player has a choice between a Selena (Water), Vargas (Fire), Lance (Earth) and Eze (Thunder) (there are two more types of units, Atro and Magress, but these are not available as starter-units). Each unit has its own elemental attributes: Water is strong against Fire, Fire is strong against Earth, Earth is strong against Thunder, Thunder is strong against Water, and both Dark and Light are strong and weak against each other. Officially the storyline of the game focuses on the unnamed summoner and must clear every stage and level in one area to proceed. Gameplay is officially relied through touch controls, with the upper area on the screen shows both the player units and enemies, the bottom area shows the unit's status and item. Players are allowed to bring only 5 units in each stage with one "friend" unit selecting them in each mission. These units/users become "friend" units through friend requests, and because a new user does not have "friend" units yet, the game provides them with 4-5 random users from around the world to choose from. Touching one unit allows it to attack an enemy before him and taking him down rewards the player with Zel, Brave Burst Crystals, Heart Crystals and Items. Touching the enemy before attacking allows the player to focus its attack on the targeted enemy itself. After an enemy is defeated, the player can proceed to a next stage until it encounters a boss, which is required to be killed in order to clear one level. After clearing, players are rewarded with Zel, Karma and items, as well as acquiring units from each mission. The guest unit can also be added to the friends list in order to activate its abilities. Also, if a player cleared the entire area, it'll be rewarded with one gem. However, if the player failed a quest, he will be prompted to use one gem to continue. An interesting feature in the game is the ability to execute special attacks, known as Brave Bursts. When touching the player unit long enough and swiping it upwards, it can unleash powerful attacks that could damage enemies or inflict status ailments. Some Brave Bursts can also heal player unit's health points or increase its overall stats so it can have an advantage against its enemies. Super Brave Bursts can also be executed but only if a unit is in a 6 Star Ranking and has its normal Brave Burst level maxed out (above level 10). Once the unit has the ability to use a Super Brave Burst, the BB Gauge must be filled twice (so the bar appears gold in color) and the player must swipe right (compared to swiping up for a normal Brave Burst). Another version, called Ultimate Brave Bursts are implemented in the game, but only can be executed by 7-Star Units by filling the Overdrive gauge. To level up a Brave Burst, one must fuse units they gain during quests that have the same type of Brave Burst, i.e. a healing Brave Burst must be fused with another healing Brave Burst in order to level up, an attack Brave Burst must be fused with another attack Brave Burst, a stat-change Brave Burst must be fused with another stat-change brave burst, and so on. In unit-terms, a Healer unit would be fused with a Healer unit, like Healer "Meridth" with Healer "Time Mage Claris", for example. Another method is the usage of "Burst Frogs" which allow a guaranteed Brave Burst level up, unlike the aforementioned method which only allows a slight chance of attaining another BB level Aside from quests, the player can also fuse units with the ones obtained in each mission in order to level them up. Once a unit is now in its max level, is it now capable of evolving. However this said evolution requires certain units for it to level up. Each unit has its own ranking as well, with the 7 Star being the highest. Some units such as Metal Ghosts allows players to obtain more experience for the units that were being fused. More units can also be obtained through Honor Summons and Rare Summons, each requiring certain amount of gems and Honor Points in order to summon units. Players also can sell units for money or equip them with stat increasing Spheres and by Gems through micro transactions. Certain items can also be used to synthesize into useful items, such as potions, tonics, and revives. Spheres are also being made in the same fashion, used to increase a unit's overall stats. The town provides a lot of items used for these, however some items must be obtained through each dungeon cleared by the player. Another thing is the town can provide more important items if the player upgrade each establishments using the obtained amount of karma. Aside from the main quests, Brave Frontier has certain event quests inside the Vortex Gate, allowing them to obtain evolutionary units, Zel or promotional rare units not found in Rare Summons. Certain dungeons, such as Metal Parades and Jewel Parades, all require a certain key to unlock and can only last for an hour. Certain In-Game Events are also found in the Vortex Gate as well, and the player will be rewarded with a free unit if he clears it but some dungeons, there's a chance to get the free unit (most likely the boss of the dungeon) and in those dungeons there are levels. The higher the level, the more difficult it gets. Also, players can challenge others players in the arena for them to rise up their ranks and obtain certain items. Another feature in the game is both the Frontier Hunter trials, which allows players to raise their Hunter Ranks, Raid Battles, a Slot Machine Feature, Daily Missions and Grand Quest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brave Frontier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
