Anima: Beyond Fantasy[edit]

Anima: Beyond Fantasy cover

The tabletop role-playing game that started the franchise was originally published by Edge Entertainment in 2005 in Spain.

Translations[edit]

A French translation was published in France in 2007 by UbIK, a French company that merged in 2008 with Edge Entertainment, Anima's Spanish editor. An English translation of Anima was released in October 2008 by the American company Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) and is still included in FFG's games catalog.[1] A German translation is planned.

Although the English translation was originally slated for an August 2006 release, multiple release dates came and went without the game being released. The publisher's website told of a September 2008 release. Gen-Con Indy saw the initial release, followed by a full release on October 2008.

The translation is not a second edition of the game (as widely believed) but rather a revised version. For a while it was believed that an electronic version of an English translation of the first edition existed. According to an email by Jeremy Stomberg of Fantasy Flight Games:

Hence, the applied signal will not be amplified properly and results in unfaithful amplification. This is known as knee voltage.When V CE is less than this value, the collector-emitter junction is not properly reverse biased. Transistor biasing configurations. Therefore, the collector can not attract the charge carriers emitter by the emitter, hence a grater portion of them goes to the base.This causes a decrease in the collector current and increase in the base current.

'There is no official translation of the Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG in PDF. The only official English translation is in the computers at FFG. By the time the FFG translation was ready, Edge (the Spanish publisher) already had the 2nd Edition finished, so we decided to release the 2nd Edition so gamers would have the most up-to-date book. We expect it out this summer.'

As of June 28, 2010, Fantasy Flight Games has published the core rules in PDF format on DriveThruRPG.The publishing was discontinued May 26, 2016.

Switch

Anima: Gate of Memories for PC, PS4 and XONE is a third person action RPG in which the player will explore a vast world filled with dangers and wonders. In it you take control of two characters who are trap in a war in the shadows, a secret conflict that will engulf the world into chaos.

Anima: Gate of Memories aims to create an unique mix of action with traditional roleplaying. Players will be able to freely develop their characters skills as they wish, much like the character advancement works in the Anima: Beyond Fantasy RPG books. That will not only give them a huge amount of personalization, but it will allow to solve every situation in a lot of different ways. The gameplay also gives the chance to freely switch between the two main protagonists in any moment, even in the middle of an attack to combo their moves together. That way, players can experience very different game styles, or even combine both in an almost limitless number of ways.

The game is mostly focused on action and combat but, as any good RPG, it will also have infiltration and puzzle content. In Anima: Gate of Memories players will find a large variety of riddles that will give diversity to the stages, as they provide a much more relaxed part in the gameplay. Having two different main characters during the adventure also involves the emergence of a wide range of situations for the players. As an example, there will be areas where they are separated, so the players will have to act with each of them to facilitate the progress of the other.

While Anima: Gate of Memories for PC, PS4 and XONE is story driven, it doesn’t force you to ride along rails from place to place. The idea is to give players freedom to explore a rich world and tackle obstacles in the order they choose. These choices, even if you make “wrong decisions” or leave behind story points, will have a big impact on the progression of the game. This way, players can visit many different places and reach very different conclusions at the end depending on their choices.
