With a wealth of guild members to recruit to their party, players can form their own dream team \u2013 even including an unlikely group of allies for their own unique adventure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"Fairy Tail\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f6475e77807a7\/fairy-tail.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f6475e77807a7\/fairy-tail.original.png\" alt=\"Fairy Tail\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The fiery and intense magical battles from the series are breathtakingly brought to life in FAIRY TAIL\u2019s environment; with a diverse range of magic available for the extraordinary characters to wield. Renowned moves from the series light up the screen, with some characters such as Natsu being able to take advantage of mode changes \u2013 like utilizing the eye-popping Lightning Fire Dragon Mode. In addition, some guild members will be available to support in battle; including the Fairy Tail Guild Master, Makarov Dreyar, who can be called in to provide powerful aid on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>In FAIRY TAIL, completing battles and quests will not only level up party members, it will lead to character bonding scenarios, provide options to upgrade the guild, and eventually raise the \u2018Guild Rank\u2019 \u2013 enabling players to take on more challenging missions in their quest to become the greatest guild in Fiore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>The game is scheduled to arrive on Switch and other platforms in 2020; we&#8217;ll make sure to keep an eye out for any more specific information while we wait.<\/p>\n<p><em>Liking the sound of this?
