Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story details Teaching System, Princess Parameters, Knowledge Materia, more

Nippon Ichi Software has released new information and screenshots on Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story, introducing the game’s Teaching System, Princess Parameters, Knowledge Materia, and more.

Get the details below.

■ “Your” Story, Spun by Four Princesses

The player is a battle and training professional known as the “Instructor Knight.” He is a freelance educationalist Instructor Knight who acts as an elegant instructor in various countries in response to requests.

You receive requests from the four major powers of the “Relic Islands” at the same time, and sign a short-term contract with each power to instruct each of their princesses. Which Princess you form a contract with is up to the player. However, it is necessary to train all of the princesses once.

Upon meeting the four princesses, the player will come to understand each princess’ goal and thoughts, as well as the many mysteries of the “Ancient Relics” that lie dormant on the Relic Islands.

As an Instructor Knight, which princess’ wish will you grant? Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story is a multi-story game where different stories develop based on the player’s choices and how you teach the princesses.

—Choose one of the four princesses to become your student.



—The story of the chosen princess advances. After serving all four princesses, you will again select a princess to continue training.



■ Teaching System

◆ Direct Teaching: Praise, Scold, and Train Your Princess

“Direct Teaching” is a system in which the player can either “praise” or “scold” their princess. This can be done at various times, such as during conversations or in battle, and afterwards you can enjoy a change in her speech and special scenes.

Also, by carrying out Direct Teaching, you can obtain “Knowledge Materia,” which are items required to strengthen the princesses. Direct Teaching, in which communication with the princesses is closely connected to their training, is one of the major appeals of this game.

—Direct Teaching during conversation.



—The princess’ reaction when “Praise” is chosen.



—The princess’ reaction when “Scold” is chosen.



◆ Princess Parameters and Knowledge Materia

The Five Parameters

The four princesses’ abilities are indicated through five parameters: “Martial Arts,” “Culture,” “Courage,” “Ethics,” and “Reliance.” By developing these parameters, you can strenghten the characters through the increase of their attack power and defense power, and unlocking of skills.



Develop Your Parameters with Knowledge Materia

By using Knowledge Materia, you can increase your princesses’ parameters. There are many types of Knowledge Materia, and the parameters they develop differ. Depending on how you use them, you can evenly develop all parameters, develop with a focus on one parameter, etc.



Obtain Knowledge Materia Through Direct Teaching

Knowledge Materia can be obtained through Direct Teaching. Proactively teach the princesses in order to develop their abilities.



■ Actions

◆ Defeat Enemies with Commanders and Soldiers

The Commander Controlled by the Player

The protagonist and princess, as the “Commander,” will lead their own army of soldiers into battle. The Commander is a powerful character with several means of attack, but he cannot go at it alone. Since countless enemies will appear during action parts, work together with your ally soldiers in order to clear the stage.









The Soldiers that Fight on Their Own

There are several types of Soldiers, including Pawns that mainly deal in close-range attacks, and Magic Soldiers thatfight with magic attacks. Soldiers essentially follow the Commander, and attack based on their commands, but fight on their own through instruction and can use special attacks.

—Pawn (Soldier)



—Magic Soldier (Heavy Prayer Soldier)



—The depth produced by the two elements that are the Commander, through which you can enjoy exhilarating action with simple controls, and Soldiers, which are key to winning the battle, is one of the appeals of this game.



Elements that Enable an Extensive Use of Strategy

The action of this game also comes with various mechanics and strategies. The following is an introduction to some of them.

—Relics

Ancient Relics, or simply “Relics,” are set atop the field. By occupying them, they can be used as trap and recovery spots.



—Get Items and Money through Cooperative Attacks

If the Commander and his Soldiers land an attack together, the enemy will drop items or money.



—Various Actions

Since the weapons and special techniques the four princesses and protagonist can use differ, you can enjoy various actions.



—Boss Battles

At times, giant bosses will block your way forward. Use your tactics to defeat them and advance.



Overcome the Odds with Direct Teaching

When a princess is sent into battle as the Commander, the player can carry out “Direct Teaching.” By “praising” or “scolding” in certain situations…

• The princess’ power may significantly increase
• The princess’ HP may be restored
• The princess may return from being unable to fight

Various blessings such as these may be bestowed upon the princess. There are limitations to the number of times you can use it, but the results are excellent. Be sure to use it.





Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PS Vita in Japan on January 25, 2018.

Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story details Liliati and Veronica battle styles, more on growth elements and actions

Nippon Ichi Software has released the latest batch of Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story information and screenshots, which introduce the battle styles of princesses Liliati and Veronica, more details on growth elements and actions, and more.

Get the details below.

■ An Overview of Liliati and Veronica’s Battle Styles

In Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story, four unique princesses appear.

Liliati is from the agricultural Alixarn Kingdom. Veronica is from a black magic guild made up of magicians. Monomaria is from a trade nation and the Noble Business Alliance. And Alpana is from the North Kamara Clan Federation, where people follow the faith of the dragon god.

The princesses are all commanders that lead the soldiers of each power, but the weapons they use and how they fight differ. In Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story, you can enjoy diverse actions and a large variety of strategies for each princess.

This time, we will introduce the contrastive battle styles of Liliati and Veronica.

—During action parts, you will fight using the attack actions assigned to each button. Each princess controls the same, but their attack motions and range significantly differ.



◆ Liliati Alixarn (voiced by Ayane Sakura)



The princess of Alixarn and its head knight. While she is no good at thinking about complicated issues, she desires from the bottom of her heart to build a country where people can live happily and without hunger. She has a good appetite and dreams of eating dragon meat as a steak.

Liliati’s dedicated weapon is a two-handed axe. She has a standard attack style free of peculiarity where she mainly uses close-range physical attacks.



Dash Attack

Move at high speed while dealing damage to the enemies you touch. Since this serves as both movement and an attack, it is convenient for breaking through an enemy encirclement.



Axe Throw Attack

Throws the axe forward to attack an enemy. If you throw it after building up power, you can deal even greater damage.



◆ Veronica (voiced by Hiromi Igarashi)



The young genius witch who leads the black magic guild. She is arrogant and cool-headed, and is feared as someone who immediately turns useless people into frogs. Since she does not treat capable individuals and those who swear their allegiance with poor attitude, she is also adored.

As a magician, Veronica uses attack magic. She has a slightly less amount of moves, but can deal damage to a vast range of enemies.



Scapegoat Frog Bomb

Sets a frog-style time bomb, then withdraws with a dash. Be careful not to get caught up in the blast.



Magic Attack

Fires magic shots to attack the enemies in front of you. Depending on the how far along your parameters are, the power of the attack will increase.



■ Expanding the Princess’ Abilities with Knowledge Materia

By using items called “Knowledge Materia,” you can increase the princess’ parameters. You can acquire Knowledge Materia by repeatedly performing “Direct Teaching,” through which you’ll “scold” or “praise” the princess.

Enable a Vast Array of Tactics by Raising Your Parameters

In addition to increasing basic stats such as HP, raising the princess’ parameters can enable the strengthening of attack actions, and the unlocking of new branches of the army to hire to take along on the battlefield, as well as “tactics,” which can be used to control the actions of soldiers. By raising your parameters with Knowledge Materia, you can raise your characters to become even stronger and have an greater degree of tactical freedom.

—Acquire Knowledge Materia through Direct Teaching.



—Use Knowledge Materia during training parts.



—By raising your parameters, you’ll be able to hire the new army branch known as “Guardian Angels.”

kirassss

■ Your Students’ Growth Will Become Your Own Strength

By using Knowledge Materia on the princesses, the protagonist can obtain “Skill Points.” The obtained Skill Points can be used to strengthen the protagonist’s own stats and attack actions. Acquire strength together with the princesses!

—By allotting the Skill Points you obtain to various areas, you can strengthen your status and actions.



—If you strengthen your attack actions, even the same attack can deal even greater damage.



■ The Reassuring Soldiers that Accompany the Player

The character that the player controls is the “commander,” who leads their troops with the aim of clearing their mission. During the game, soldiers will appear in great numbers, and the player will be able to freely organize the unit of soldiers they take along to the battlefield.

The Four-Way Deadlock

Soldiers are classified into four groups, and each group of soldier has a strong-weak connection to two others. If you feel like an enemy is too difficult, try changing up the combination of soldier types in your unit.





Pawn – A soldier that attacks at close range using weapons. It is strong against Magicians and weak against Aviators.
Magicians – A magic soldier that can use powerful attack magic. It is strong against Shooters and weak against Pawns.
Shooter – A soldier that specializes in long-range attacks using guns. It is strong against Aviators and weak against Magicians.
Aviator – A soldier that can has wings and propulsion equipment, and can move in the air. It is strong against Pawns and weak against Shooters.
—Pawn: Blockman



—Magician: Magical Girl



—Shooter: Gunner



—Aviator: Hawkman



Give Soldiers Commands through Tactics

A commander possesses several “tactics,” and by using them during battle, they can control their soldiers’ movements to a certain extent. From having your soldiers immediately stop in place to confine the enemy, to increasing your soldiers’ attack power, there are a variety of ways to use tactics. The tactics that each commander can use differ. Discover the best strategy based on the character.



Increase the Field “Dominance”

By defeating enemies, as well as having your army occupy relics on the field, the field “Dominance” in the upper-right corner of the screen will increase. By increasing Dominance, the tactics you can use will also increase, allowing for an even greater variety of strategy. Also, the rewards you get when clearing the mission will increase.



The Powerful “Commander Attack”

A “Commander Attack” is a special attack soldiers can use at the indication of their commander. It is an easy-to-use attack through which you can charge at a distanced enemy or fire a ranged attack at the enemies around you. However, your movement speed will decrease if you overuse it, so caution is necessary as it runs the risk of making it easier for enemies to strike.



■ “Relics” of Ancient Civilizations

On the Relic Islands, it is said that ancient civilizations lived possessing advanced technology. In the fields, “relics” of the ancient civilizations that support this legend have been left behind.

Using Relics as Traps

Left alone, relics are a troublesome existence that can deal damage to your army, but by the commander and soldiers “occupying” a relic, they can be used as a means to attack the enemy army. To occupy a relic, the commander and soldiers need to stay within its vicinity for a certain period of time, during which they cannot attack the enemy.







—The “Empress Thorn” relic restrains anyone who approaches with thorns. Stay within its vicinity to occupy and disable it.





—After occupying a relic, you can use it as a trap.



—“Abyss Smile” is an ominous relic that shoots out fire from its eyes and mouth.



—“Mana Tower” is a sculpture relic that restores allies’ HP when occupied.



Your Four Knight Princesses Training Story is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PS Vita in Japan on January 25, 2018.
