Here comes a long post.....
STORY MODE DETAILS
The game will include a Story Mode that details the plot to Dragon's Destiny itself. Here is how the Story Select Screen will be set up.
Prologue
Haruka Chihaya Miki
Yukiho Makoto Hibiki
Iori Azusa Ami
Mami Ritsuko Yayoi
Ai Eri Ryo
Kana Shiho Umi
Takane
Glossary True End Biographies
Glossary defines terms that are used throughout the game and also includes a summary of the events.
Biographies includes bios on every character with two bios: Normal Bio and Dragon's Destiny Bio
However, every story is NOT available from the beginning of the game. Here's the unlock pattern:
View Prologue -> Haruka’s Story
Clear Haruka’s Story -> Chihaya and Miki’s Stories
Clear Chihaya’s Story -> Iori and Azusa’s Stories
Clear Miki’s Story -> Ritsuko and Ami’s Stories
Clear Ritsuko’s Story -> Ryo and Umi’s Stories
Clear Iori’s Story -> Makoto and Shiho’s Stories
Clear Makoto’s Story -> Hibiki and Yukiho’s Stories
Clear Shiho’s Story -> Takane and Kana’s Stories
Clear Hibiki’s Story -> Yayoi and Mami’s Stories
Clear Ryo’s Story -> Ai and Eri’s Stories
Clear Haruka, Chihaya, Miki, Ritsuko, Iori, Shiho, Ryo, and Takane’s Stories -> True Ending
Story Mode also allows you to unlock additional content, mainly characters:
Clear the Respective Stories of Ai, Eri, Ryo, Kana, Shiho, Umi, and Takane to unlock them as playabvle characters.
Clear the True Ending to unlock Maki as a playable character.
When it says Clear a particular Story, it really means to get that character's Good Ending. Bad and Joke Endings do not count as clearing the story.
Alternatively, you can clear Arcade with all the starter characters, purchase them from the in-game shop, play a certain number of VS Matches, or simply use a cheat code to unlock these characters.
I will eventually get to Story Mode summaries, but for right now, this is how Story Mode will be organized.
DLC Characters
For the three DLC characters (Kotoha, Elena, and Megumi), they will have stories that are separate from the main story. They will act as more of a direct follow-up to the events of Dragon's Destiny that may or may not lead into a sequel game. Kotoha, Elena, and Megumi's stories will be available once they are downloaded into the game. Clearing these stories do not unlock anything for the story mode and will not affect the route to the True Ending.
