News: NIS America has revealed when fans will be able to get Fairy Fencer F on the PS3 in North America and Europe.

NIS America has revealed that Fairy Fencer F will be released for the PS3 in North America on September 23 and in Europe on September 26. It will be released both digitally as well as a physical boxed copy that you can purchase in stores. Developed by COMPILE HEART, Fairy Fencer F is a turn-based RPG that features character art by Tsunako (Hyperdimension Neptunia series), as well as concept art by Yoshitaka Amano and music by Nobuo Uematsu who are both renowned for their work on the classic Final Fantasy series.

For those who might not be familiar with Fairy Fencer F, the brief premise is below:

“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.”

Some of the key features for Fairy Fencer F will include:

Robust Combat System - Witness the next evolution of Hyperdimension Neptunia's battle engine! Move your characters in a fully 3-D environment as you link combos in turn-based combat. Exploit enemy weaknesses to trigger Avalanche Attacks and watch your party gang up on opponents. Send your enemies sky high with Launch Attacks, then follow up with an Air Attack to send them crashing back to Earth. And if fights get really tense, simply transform into your upgraded Fury Form and really bring the pain!

Untold Levels of Customization - Use the Furies you collect to give your characters powerful abilities, or use them to customize dungeons to your exact specifications! Need a little more "oomph!" in your swing? We've got a Shaping Effect for that! Want some extra experience points after battle? We've got a Shaping Effect for that too! But what if you're a masochist who wants everyone—allies and enemy alike—to deal DOUBLE damage? Oh, you best believe we've got a Shaping Effect for that!

Artistic Pedigree - Enjoy the dulcet tones of renowned composer Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for many of the Final Fantasy titles. With character designs by Tsunako (Hyperdimension Neptunia) and Yoshitaka Amano (Final Fantasy I-VI), the line between cute and menacing has never been more blurred.
