Dive into the who, what, and when of the turn-based JRPG’s era-specific characters.

Every classic JRPG earns its place in history with a memorable setting, an iconic soundtrack, and, most importantly, compelling characters. Riyo Games’ highly anticipated turn-based JRPG, Threads of Time, is taking this concept to the next level by weaving its hero roster from different centuries and all walks of life.

Today, Riyo Games gave us a first in-depth look at some of the unique era-specific characters players will be recruiting and traveling with as they race against time to save history itself.

⏳ The Heroic Backbone of a Time-Spanning JRPG

In Threads of Time, players must venture from century to century to stop a mysterious plot intent on unraveling the past, present, and future. The foundation of this epic journey rests on an unforgettable and diverse party, from Luna the apprentice Fire Mage to Rin the futuristic kitsune, and even a log-lifting Viking dinosaur veterinarian named Bo.

These unique party members form the backbone of a story that spans millennia, promising an unforgettable journey for fans of the genre.

🔎 About Our Three Revealed Time-Traveling Heroes

Here’s a closer look at the three heroes Riyo Games introduced today:

🔥 Luna: The Middle Ages Fire Mage Apprentice

• Era: Middle Ages (1000 A.D.)
• Age: 18
• Class/Role: Apprentice Fire Mage
• Weapon: Spark Gloves

Luna, a teenager from 1000 A.D., is no ordinary apprentice. While she might enjoy a good plate of fried shrimp, her focus is on arcane theory. As an apprentice to the mage Fontenay, her radical theories regarding time magic are considered eccentric by some, but they might just hold the key to uncovering the threatening plot that seeks to undo time itself. JRPG fans looking for a classic elemental magic user with a story twist will find Luna essential.

🦊 Rin: The Futuristic Kitsune Infiltrator

• Era: Future (2400 A.D.)
• Age: 301
• Class/Role: Freelance Infiltrator
• Weapon: Katars

Appearing far younger than her 301 years, Rin hails from a futuristic 2400 A.D. Rin is a three-tailed kitsune and a freelance infiltrator who utilizes her signature Katars to devastating effect. Her unique ability to slip seamlessly between her human and fox form allows her to bypass any defense, secure any secret, and slay any enemy. Rin provides a high-speed, stealth-focused dynamic to the party, blending mythological flair with science-fiction action.

🦖 Bo: The Prehistoric Guardian and Dino Vet

• Era: Prehistory (12 million B.C.)
• Age: 35
• Class/Role: Guardian
• Weapon: Warhammer

The hero from the dawn of time is Bo, a burly 35-year-old Guardian-class warrior. By day, this prehistoric strongman is an unexpected dinosaur veterinarian, tending to his reptilian pals. By night, he’s a log-lifting strongman who brings comic relief to his longhouse. Wielding a massive Warhammer, Bo’s mission in the time-spanning conflict is simple: save his dinosaur companions and stop the evil that corrupts the timeline. Bo is clearly the party’s durable, hard-hitting frontline tank.

📅 When to Jump into Threads of Time

Luna, Rin, Bo, and a host of other heroic travelers will soon set the stage for this epic time-traveling tale. This early look confirms that Threads of Time is committed to delivering the deep character roster and compelling narrative that defines the best JRPGs.

Threads of Time is scheduled to arrive on Steam and Xbox in the future. Stay tuned to Remixco.com for more news and the official release date!
