Square Enix has updated the official website for their upcoming 3DS action RPG, Final Fantasy Explorers.

The new update brings with it some new information regarding the world in Explorers, and the travelers that inhabit it. We’ve also learned of some areas you can visit, as well as the hub city of Libertas.

Check out all the new information below:

The Story Thusfar

With the earth’s crust moving faster than usual, a new island later dubbed Amostra was discovered.

A large number of mysterious crystals were buried in the island, and those who sought them out were called Explorers. They took to adventuring on the island, by foot.

The island was found to be overrun with dangerous beasts and monsters, many of which are thought to exist to simply protect the natural order of things.

The Crystals

The crystals were later revealed to be draining energy from nearby stars.

This energy that was siphoned by the crystals gave the inhabitants of the planet souls, and in turn helped  them evolve over time into new forms.

Finally, humans have utilized this power to further their survival, and develop civilizations.

Regions

• Libertas (Home Town) – This is the home base of the entire game. Within Libertas, Explorers can take on jobs that will take them to various regions where they can fight monsters. There are lots of shops, and even an Airship that will take you to different locations. In the center of the city is a huge crystal, which powers various things in the city.
• Regi Plains – A region where players will journey to early in the game. Within the plains, you’ll find a crystal dubbed the Grand Crystal, which is described as the origin of the world. The human race is described to have evolved from the energy of this crystal.
• Hibato Volcano – This is an area strewn with magma. The flames hide the beast named Ifrit, where the series Bomb monster also lies in wait.
