Characters

Unlike previous games in the series, the maximum number of playable characters is three. However, to compensate for the fewer number of characters, once a certain point is reached in the game, Edge and Nell can equip various "Blades" which can change their combat style and skills.

  • Edge Vanhite (エッジ・ヴァンハイト, Ejji Vanhaito)
Voiced by: Nozomu Sasaki
The male main character, aged 19, who works as a Raider exploring the Alterworlds. After losing his family at a young age, he has since been living with Iris. He's quiet and his honest personality makes him seem unfriendly but deep down is kind and sensible at heart. He is also revealed to have romantic feelings for Iris.
  • Iris Fortner (イリス・フォルトナー, Irisu Forutonā)
Voiced by: Miyu Matsuki
The female main character, aged 16, who works with Edge as a Raider. Growing up in an alchemist family, she can do simple synthesis. She has an optimistic and straightforward personality but is a little clumsy. She shares a namesake with Iris Blanchimont from Atelier Iris and Atelier Iris 2, but aside from similar looks, the two are completely unrelated.
  • Nell Ellis (ネル・エルエス, Neru Eruesu)
Voiced by: Natsumi Yanase
The third playable character, aged 15, who works with her older sister Yula as a Raider to rebuild their family wealth. A very energetic girl often lacking seriousness. After getting into a fight with her sister, she joins the party in Chapter 3.

The soundtrack was mainly composed by Ken Nakagawa with the opening song composed by Revo and two other vocal songs composed by Daisuke Achiwa. It was released June 21, 2006 in Japan by TEAM Entertainment.
