Profile[]
The 24th Ward Municipal Tower is a landmark of next generation tech that houses the OMNIsystem, a technological masterpiece constructed by Ichiro Onda shortly before his demise at the hands of Zenon and Iron Mask during their acquisition of the Covenants.
Ringo and company follow Figue here, following her after she assimilates Aion into herself and enters the tower, seeking to break the chains of humanity's sorrow in her own way. They find the tower in an unusual state, with the interior appearing as the inside of a sea or aquarium, which they speculate is the result of spatial distortion caused by the OMNIsystem.
Shortly into the first floor, the party runs into two members of the Phantom Society, who have been given orders to eliminate anyone attempting to get past them further into the tower. After being defeated, they allude to a stronger member of Phantom who will take care of the party in their stead.
The party will soon come across the executor that they suspected would be present, in the form of the demon Azazel. Azazel wishes to stop the party from interfering with Figue, as he plans to collect the enriched souls of humanity once her task is complete. After being defeated, he takes notice of Arrow being a Summoner of Yatagarasu, and reveals that the organization has sent their best operatives out to deal with Figue by any means necessary. He wonders what side Arrow will choose, relishing the dramatic meanings of either choice before disappearing.
The elite of Yatagarasu will reveal himself in the Bone Area of the tower. Hozumi greets the party as they find him standing among dead members of Phantom before the area's first gate. He addresses Arrow, stating that he has been sent to kill Figue and take control of the Covenants. He pressures Arrow into joining his mission, stating that opposing him equates to opposing Yatagarasu. Following the confrontation with him, he relents and allows the party to pass, briefly questioning Ringo on what she plans to do if Figue will not relent. After her answer, the party walks away, with Arrow bowing to Hozumi briefly before joining them.
Past this point are four gates which must be unlocked with either a Sunlight Key or Moonlight Key obtained from decisions made in the available branches of the Bone Area path. Aion will pose questions to Ringo about the deceased holders of the Covenants and whether or not she agrees with their choices. Answering "I do." will grant a Sunlight Key, while answering "I do not." will grant a Moonlight Key. These keys will be used to open each gate to allow the party to access more of the area. If a Sunlight Key is received at any point, the party will be locked into the normal ending of the game. Four Moonlight Keys must be collected in order to proceed on the true ending route.
Once the path to Figue has been cleared, the party will be stopped by Aion itself, which feels conflicted as to what route the future should take, manifesting Dominion to confront the party. Should Ringo select choices which conflict with Aion's views another Dominion will be added to confront the party, with a total of five being possible if Ringo selects every choice Aion holds the opposite view of.
| Character | Prompt | Aion Agree/Disagree | Line |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mangetsu Kuzunoha | His soul was marked by sacrifice. When he faced death, he accepted it, putting his faith in those who would follow in his footsteps. Ringo. Do you agree with his choices? | Agree | I believe it is right to trust in your successors to carry on your will. |
| Ichiro Onda | His soul was marked by a ravenous ambition. When he faced death, he welcomed it, knowing that not even oblivion could shake his burning pride. Ringo. Do you agree with his choices? | Agree | I believe it is right to live in pursuit of your passions, and to let them give you meaning in death. |
| Iron Mask/Paul | His soul was marked by compassion. When he faced death, he gave in, knowing that life itself was all but meaningless. Ringo. Do you agree with his choices? | Disagree | I believe it is right to accept meaning in human nature, and seek to preserve their lives. |
| Raven | His soul was marked by conflict. When he faced death, he resigned himself to it, overcome by his own powerlessness. Ringo. Do you agree with his choices? | Disagree | I believe it is right to fight back against a painful fate you do not deserve. |
- Matching choices lead to battle against 1 Dominion.
- Conflicting choices add additional Dominions to the battle.
- Responding "I do." to any of the prompts and receiving a Sunlight Key locks the game into the normal ending.
Following the battle, Aion will apoligize to Ringo, and due to its conflict and decision chooses to leave the decision to Ringo and Figue. Aion will request that Ringo choose wisely before falling silent.
