Brave Story: New Traveler (2006) Review
Brave Story: New Traveler is a Japanese role-playing game developed by Game Republic and published by Capcom. It was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006. The game follows the story of Tatsuya, an 11-year-old boy who is transported to the world of Vision after his friend Miki collapses from an unknown illness. In Vision, Tatsuya becomes a “Traveler,” a warrior who must journey to the Tower of the Goddess of Fortune in order to have a single wish granted.
Brave Story: New Traveler is a traditional JRPG in many ways. It features turn-based combat, a large world to explore, and a cast of colorful characters. However, the game also has some unique features that set it apart from other JRPGs.
One of the most unique features of Brave Story: New Traveler is its “Brave Story” system. This system allows players to create their own unique story by making choices throughout the game. These choices can affect the game’s plot, characters, and ending.
Another unique feature of Brave Story: New Traveler is its “Vision” system. This system allows players to enter a special state of mind where they can see the world in a different way. In Vision, players can see hidden objects and interact with the environment in new ways.
Brave Story: New Traveler is a beautiful game with a unique and engaging story. The game’s characters are well-developed and the world is full of interesting places to explore. The game’s combat system is fun and challenging, and the “Brave Story” system adds a lot of replay value.
Overall, Brave Story: New Traveler is a great JRPG that is well worth playing. If you’re a fan of the genre, or if you’re just looking for a new and unique game to play, then I highly recommend checking out Brave Story: New Traveler.
Story
Brave Story: New Traveler tells the story of Tatsuya, an 11-year-old boy who is transported to the world of Vision after his friend Miki collapses from an unknown illness. In Vision, Tatsuya becomes a “Traveler,” a warrior who must journey to the Tower of the Goddess of Fortune in order to have a single wish granted.
Tatsuya’s journey is not an easy one. He must face many challenges along the way, including monsters, traps, and other Travelers. However, he is not alone on his journey. He is joined by a group of friends, including a young girl named Yui, a cat-like creature named Mietz, and a talking sword named Calista.
Together, Tatsuya and his friends must overcome many obstacles in order to reach the Tower of the Goddess of Fortune. Along the way, they will learn about themselves and the world around them. They will also make new friends and enemies.
Gameplay
Brave Story: New Traveler is a traditional JRPG in many ways. It features turn-based combat, a large world to explore, and a cast of colorful characters. However, the game also has some unique features that set it apart from other JRPGs.
One of the most unique features of Brave Story: New Traveler is its “Brave Story” system. This system allows players to create their own unique story by making choices throughout the game. These choices can affect the game’s plot, characters, and ending.
For example, early in the game, Tatsuya is given the choice of whether to save a group of villagers from a monster or to continue on his journey. If Tatsuya chooses to save the villagers, he will gain experience points and items. However, if he chooses to continue on his journey, he will miss out on these rewards.
The “Brave Story” system gives players a lot of freedom to create their own unique story. Players can choose to be a hero, a villain, or anything in between. They can also choose to focus on the game’s main story or to explore the world and complete side quests.
Another unique feature of Brave Story: New Traveler is its “Vision” system. This system allows players to enter a special state of mind where they can see the world in a different way. In Vision, players can see hidden objects and interact with the environment in new ways.
For example, in one part of the game, Tatsuya must find a hidden key to open a door. In Vision, Tatsuya can see the key hidden in a bush. He can then use his sword to cut the bush and retrieve the key.
The “Vision” system is a useful tool that can help players solve puzzles and find hidden items. It can also be used to gain an advantage in combat.
Characters
Brave Story: New Traveler features a cast of colorful and well-developed characters. The main character, Tatsuya, is a kind and compassionate boy who is determined to save his friend Miki. He is joined on his journey by a group of friends, including:

- Calista: A talking sword who is a master of combat. He is wise and experienced, and he is always there to help Tatsuya and his friends.
In addition to these main characters, Brave Story: New Traveler also features a cast of supporting characters, including villagers, monsters, and other Travelers. The game’s characters are all well-developed and they all have their own unique stories to tell.
