[/h3][p][/p][p]Some of you who played the demo may have wondered, [/p][p]What exactly is this place?🤔 [/p][p]In this post, I would like to reveal a bit of the mystery behind this intriguing space![/p][p][/p][h2]🔮What is Lymbos?[/h2][p]“Lymbos” is a kind of lobby space where Lemuria stays outside of the dungeons. [/p][p]Yes, you can visit this area in the Demo, but most of it remains locked.[/p][p][/p][p]This place is packed with all sorts of out-of-battle elements, such as Dungeon Unlocks, Perfumes, and Stickers, which we’ve introduced in the earlier blog posts. [/p][p]You’ll also find wandering spirits to talk with and reapers who seem to be working on some weird projects... [/p][p]The story and world of Vivid World both expand from this place.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]By the way, here’s what the initial concept looked like! [/p][p]It started with a simple layout featuring just color blocks and gradually evolved into its current form. [/p][p]Looking back now, it inspires a sense of nostalgia![/p][p][/p][p]Also, in the screenshot above, you might notice there’s a part that is locked. [/p][p][/p][h3]What could this be…?🤔[/h3][p]We hope you look forward to discovering it when the game releases![/p][p][/p][h2]😈Let’s meet the loveable Characters![/h2][p][/p][p]Here is a quick look at some of the unique characters you’ll meet in Lymbos![/p][p][/p][h3]💎Vulcan (Jewel Researcher)[/h3][p]A reaper has become completely enchanted by the beauty of a material found in dungeons, known as Star Fragments.[/p][p]Normally calm and reserved, it becomes animated and speaks at lightning speed once the conversation shifts to its passions. It proposes a deal to Lemuria: to exchange the Star Fragments you have collected for mysterious stickers from his personal collection.[/p][p][/p][h3]💎Nefertem (Perfume Artisan)[/h3][p]
A whimsical reaper that lives in a cozy jar.[/p][p]It gathers materials and brews strange perfumes without sleep. Its crafting methods remain completely unknown, and the scents it produces change daily.[/p][p]It may speak in a bit of a jumbled way, but look at how it cannot wait to share its latest creations with you. Its enthusiastic charm is quite hard to resist. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]💎Hermes(Record Keeper)[/h3][p][/p][p]Hermes is a reaper who diligently documents every change and event that occurs in the dungeons, often without needing to be asked. [/p][p]Also a passionate dungeon enthusiast who takes note of even the smallest details. Since the arrival of Lemuria, it could not be more thrilled by the influx of new information coming in.[/p][p][/p][p]ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー[/p][p][/p][h3]Thank you so much for reading all the way through![/h3][p][/p][p]The release of Vivid World is just around the corner...[/p][h3]on November 5th!💫[/h3][p]We have been able to continue our development thanks to all of your feedback and support.[/p][p][/p][p]Vivid World is not just about what happens in battle, but also what takes place outside of it.
