All spoilers for the original Fuga: Melodies of Steel will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (ã€Œæˆ¦å ´ã�®ãƒ•ãƒ¼ã‚¬2ã€�, "SenjÅ� no Fuga 2", lit. "Fugue on the Battlefield 2" in Japan) is a turn-based RPG developed and published by CyberConnect2, as a sequel to the original Fuga: Melodies of Steel and again being set in the greater Little Tail Bronx universe. The game released worldwide for all major platforms (including Xbox Game Pass) on May 11th, 2023. A demo for the game was released on January 12th, 2024, in commemoration of the Fuga series surpassing 400,000 total downloads.One year after their victory over the Berman Imperial Army and the liberation of the Free Lands of Gasco, the twelve children who commandeered the ancient tank Taranis to save their families have since returned to living their lives in peace. One day, the children reunite in the new national capital of Pharaoh, having been invited by the Gasco Army to help them with studying the recovered Taranis. Once the door is successfully unlocked, however, half the children suddenly become trapped within the tank, and the Taranis itself reactivates, brainwashing its captives and kickstarting a destructive rampage.With no other options aside from using the similarly-recovered Tarascus (which now has an AI based off of previous Big Bad General Hax), Malt and the other remaining children— joined by Vanilla Muscat, the President's youngest daughter— board the former Berman tank to stop the out-of-control Taranis and save everyone. However still, more tragedy may be looming over the horizon beyond this mere kidnapping, more of the dark secrets surrounding the Taranis and its history are set to be unearthed, and with enough time and turmoil, Malt and the other children may shift towards a new desire for revenge against the one who started this new conflict…Continuing on from the first game's Turn-Based Strategy gameplay, Fuga 2 features new skills and new attacks for the children, a revamped way of progressing through battle routes, and features new decisive mechanics fleshed out from the Soul Cannon of the last game. One such feature is the Tarascus' own Wave-Motion Gun, the Managarm, which is now usable in any battle as opposed to just boss fights. Rather than requiring a child's total being to be sacrificed to power it, a child can instead be drained of their energy, knocking them out until the next intermission and negating all experience points gained in the battle. Which isn't to say that the Soul Cannon is completely absent from this game.More significantly, the game features extra replay value and player consequence through the new Judgement system, where Malt's choices to focus more on empathy towards others or more on achieving desired goals will impact the story and bestow upon him different leadership skills that can turn the tide of battle. Intermissions and ruin explorations also return from the last game, albeit fleshed out further. Additionally, airships can be used to alter the path the Tarascus (and its upgraded form, the Exo-Taranis) takes throughout a chapter, and also allow players to buy or sell items between battles.Like the last game, Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 is directed by Hiroto Niizato alongside Yoann Gueritot, has art and character/vehicle designs by Yusuke "Shimipan" Tokitsu, has Yasuhiro Noguchi once again as scenario writer, and Chikayo Fukuda as composer, joined by vocalist Tomoyo Mitani to form CyberConnect2 music label LieN. This also serves as Yoann's final game working under CyberConnect2 before leaving for PlatinumGames, as he announced his departure from the company a month ahead of the game's release.The official website can be found here. Pre-release trailers include the teaser trailer, overview trailer, and Deluxe Edition trailer."System" videos that demonstrate gameplay mechanics include Battle & Formation, Skills, Leader Skills, Judgement Chance, Resolution Event & Empathy Event, Soul Cannon & Managarm, Link Event Workshop & Scrap Fishing, Notebook & Hero Mode, Airship Services, Meetup and Expedition.Like with the first game, a bi-weekly series of motion comics known as Comedies of Steel 2 have been uploaded to CyberConnect2's YouTube channel following the game's release. As of this writing, they are only available in Japanese with no English subtitles, but they can nevertheless be found here. The similarly bi-weekly SenjÅ� no Fuga: Steel Melody manga has begun adapting this game since Chapter 29 onwards. | |

Debut Queue: You start with only Malt, Kyle, Sheena, Chick and Hack. Over the subsequent chapters, you get Mei and Vanilla in Chapter 2, Socks and Boron in Chapter 3, Britz in Chapter 4, Wappa in Chapter 5 and Jin in Chapter 6. Hanna was relegated to a supporting role as the Belenos' support AI and wouldn't be playable at all. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The game is even darker than its predecessor, which was already pretty dark by Little Tail Bronx's standards. This is due to many factors, such as even more fanfare made out of the Soul Cannon use, darker plot with more named characters unavoidably dying, the harrowing effect these deaths have on surviving children, and additional tragedy and atrocities revealed in the setting's background. | |

| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: To show how powerful the Belenos is, it is able to outright destroy an unshielded Tarascus and heavily damage the Taranis to the point that it is unusable in its debut. It took the creation of the Exo-Taranis to match it. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Like in the previous game, there are three potential outcomes at the end of the game: a Downer Ending if every child is sacrificed to the Soul Cannon, a Bittersweet Ending if at least one but not all of the children have died, and a Golden Ending if every child survives. The Golden Ending also has two different epilogue sequences, one each for having one side of Malt's Karma Meter 90 points higher than the other. Unlike the previous game, these can be replayed from the game's Library after being unlocked. | |

Chapter 9, "The Game of Knucklebones": Jihl's backstory is revealed— Crusade originally created him as one of many hybrid children meant to pilot the Belenos, and when testing for it failed, they exploited him as a renewable source of energy for the Soul Cannon. Jihl's assumption that his "Mama" (the woman responsible for caring for him and the other hybrids) did nothing but leave him to black out in the Taranis is also proven wrong— it's revealed that she sacrificed herself in his place for the Taranis to land the killing blow on the Vanargand. | |

Discard and Draw | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_1f39b662 | comment |
Discard and Draw: Multiple characters have changed which type of main tank weapon they operate: Hack has switched from being a Cannon user to a Machine Gun user, and his signature Burning Trigger skill is replaced with a new skill called Frenzy. Sheena has switched from being a Machine Gun user to a Grenade Launcher user, and her skillset has become more offense-oriented overall. Wappa has switched from being a Cannon user to a Grenade Launcher user, and her skillset is now more based on curing negative status effects. Jin has switched from being a Grenade Launcher user to a Cannon user, though given how offense-oriented he already was in the first game, his overall skillset hasn't changed much. | |

| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_23636b00 | comment |
Technologically Advanced Foe: In addition to Berman Geists you will also occasionally encounter robots remaining from the Old World, most often found in and around Crusade facilities. They are not that much stronger than contemporary machines but they do have their own tricks - for one, they don't have any Weaknesses, meaning they normally cannot be delayed, and some of them are capable of Gathering Steam, automatically increasing their armour level and gaining access to new attacks throughout the fight. They also shoot lasers instead of bullets and artillery shells. | |

Karma Meter | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_276ad49e | comment |
Karma Meter: The new Judgement system is built upon two values: "Empathy" for if Malt aims towards co-operation and caring for his crew members, and "Resolution" for if he makes choices focused on working towards a goal. As a result, Malt gains different skills to use during gameplay, while also changing the way he develops as a leader to the other kids in-story. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Justified. The children spent the whole of the previous year living as normal civilians and their powers are tied to the Taranis itself. So when the Taranis goes rogue and the ones that were not captured had to use the Tarascus and later the Exo-Taranis instead, they had to restart from level 1 or in the case of the other rescued children, at a much lower level. Every time you start New Game Plus, your Karma Meter resets back to zero in order to give the player a chance to experience different Empathy and Resolution Events at certain points in the story, and unlock the two bonus Epilogues related to such following the Golden Ending. However, the caveat of this is that it also removes all Leader Skills earned from the previous run, preventing all of them on both sides of the Judgement Gauge from being gained within a single playthrough. New Game Plus does however unlock the Gasco Medal, an extremely expensive item costing 100,000 rings, which will double any increase of Empathy and Resolution when acquired. | |

Beam-O-War | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_2a51fd2d | comment |
Beam-O-War: Happens during the first scripted tutorial fight against the rogue Taranis. The children take too long to prevent the Soul Cannon from firing, so as a last-ditch effort they fire the Managarm to try and extinguish the Soul Cannon shot, which results in the trope between the Soul Cannon and the Managarm. The Managarm loses in seconds. | |

Fusion Dance: A new tank called the "Exo-Taranis" is briefly shown in the overview trailer and appears to be controllable in some gameplay footage. Its design features both the Soul Cannon and the Managarm, indicating it to be a combination of the Taranis and Tarascus (though using the former as a template). It's formed in the climax of Chapter 3, after both of the original tanks are rendered unusable by the Belenos. | |

Teleporter Accident | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_309c05ec | comment |
Teleporter Accident: A newly revealed function of both the Taranis and Tarascus is the ability to teleport crew members to other locations within the tank, as well as between one another if they're able to get within spitting distance. The children use this functionality to rescue their trapped friends on the Taranis, but the process being interrupted leads to Hanna's apparent death as the tanks are wrecked by Belenos before she fully re-forms. | |

In this game, Boron's Link Events with Wappa are about her boasting about him to her minions back home, with the final event directly referring to him as a "God of Destruction". | |

Socks, being The Smart Guy of the group, expresses an interest in Old World technology when the children enter one of the Crusade facilities. Likewise, when the children learn Jihl's backstory, he specifically is the one to point out how unbelievable that the technology to create "hybrids" existed— a relatively subtle nod to how his distant descendant Merveille will help to create some more of these hybrids herself. | |

Karl Marx Hates Your Guts | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_3af6f8ba | comment |
Karl Marx Hates Your Guts: No matter which town you stop in or which airship service you request, all items are priced the same and remain that way throughout the entire game (the only exception if you're lucky enough to pass by a pedestrian who will give you a coupon for the next town... but for only one of the three shops). This becomes a major issue early on and even later in the game, as it's very easy to run yourself into the red buying the materials needed to upgrade your tank or recovery and battle items to make the next chapter easier, with your only method of gaining Rings is through selling trinkets found at random throughout the chapter or in expeditions, as selling whatever items you no longer need becomes pointless due to the pocket change they give you in exchange. | |

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: A recurring mechanic in boss battles, when hitting certain HP thresholds you have an Awakening Chance to make appeals such as crying out to Malt's brainwashed friends to resist the enemy's control, among other things.

Morton's Fork | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_407d3e6d | comment |
Morton's Fork: How the Exo-Taranis' Soul Cannon and Managarm operate in a pinch during boss fights. If enough damage is inflicted on the player, then the AI will forcibly send a randomly-selected child to the Soul Cannon Chamber to prepare the weapon. If you fail to end the battle before the countdown ends, then the Soul Cannon will automatically fire. You can bypass this by using the less-fatal Managarm, but not only does it knock out a child upon use, it also nulls any experience points you might have earned in that encounter. | |

Desperation Attack | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_419545ad | comment |
Desperation Attack: The returning Soul Cannon and the less fatal Managarm. As in the last game, the Soul Cannon can instantly end any fight at the cost of a child's life, while the Managarm can do the same, but can also be used in regular encounters at the cost of simply knocking out a child and nullifying any experience points gained. | |

| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_427ca0d0 | comment |
It's stated in the library entry for Lhassa Apso that the hot springs of Dachs (as in "dachshund") were created as a result of the land rupturing from the Vanargand's attack, along with the destruction of the island's lava beds and sulphur deposits. While Lhassa Apso was a location created for Fuga, Dachs was originally shown off in supplementary materials for Solatorobo, specifically the "Red Data Children" novels and the Archives art books. | |

In-Universe, the final issue of the current "The Adventures of Sucre" arc, which Malt receives in the true ending, ends on one. Sucre believes it's for the best that they buried the Taran so its power can't be exploited, and is looking forward to using the Juno energy crystal they found to power their flight to the moon, but his owl looks oddly concerned. Cut to Count Nouvellune gazing at the moon, stating that it's almost time for a grand reunion as a giant sigil appears on the moon's surface. | |

Virtual Ghost | |

Chapter 7, "Forgotten Images": after wondering if they heard Hanna's voice guiding them in the previous chapter, the children are able to confirm that Hanna's soul still exists… as a Virtual Ghost inside the Belenos' systems. Destroying the Belenos will thus permanently erase her, but she encourages them to chase Jihl down and do so, for Jihl's sake, before the Belenos' power consumes him. Then, in the next port town before the next chapter begins, Vanilla receives a message claiming that her father, Shayne Muscat, is still alive. | |

Elemental Weapon: In addition to elemental statuses the kids can inflict in tank combat, this game introduces elemental ammo for their pistol that they can use while exploring dungeons. Fire bullets incinerate roots that bar the kids' path (and also deal double damage to monsters), while electric bullets can be used to power switches. | |

Cast from Hit Points: The Managarm works this way— a child's energy can be used to power it, but it incapacitates them rather than killing them, meaning they aren't permanently removed from battle, only knocked out until the next intermission. | |

Cutting Off the Branches: Any deaths incurred by the player in the first game are not taken into account, as the game takes place one year after the kids achieved the Golden Ending. Justified, of course, as all playthroughs of the original game except the aforementioned Golden Ending one were simulations by Jeanne. | |

Happy Ending Override | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: After going through hell and back fighting off the Berman Empire's invasion in the last game, the children's peaceful lives are once again disrupted by war, forcing them to return to the battlefield in order to save their friends and Gasco as a whole from the rampaging Taranis. Thankfully, it doesn't seem as bad for Gasco itself as last time— at the very least, the economy is intact as evidenced by how rings are now an in-game currency (in contrast to the last game's bartering system), and the Gasco Army is better equipped to handle the new threat. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The game's true ending concludes with Malt waking up in the middle of the night and returning to the cave where they originally found the Taranis, shocked to see that it's returned there after everyone decided it was too risky to keep around and dropped it into the sea of clouds. A Carmine-esque silhouette then calls out to him, and Malt immediately recognizes it's his brother. In-Universe, the final issue of the current "The Adventures of Sucre" arc, which Malt receives in the true ending, ends on one. Sucre believes it's for the best that they buried the Taran so its power can't be exploited, and is looking forward to using the Juno energy crystal they found to power their flight to the moon, but his owl looks oddly concerned. Cut to Count Nouvellune gazing at the moon, stating that it's almost time for a grand reunion as a giant sigil appears on the moon's surface. One of the secret files unlocked after you beat the game reveals Cayenne learned all about Jihl and the Belenos in the first place by an unknown third party who had contacted him through the secret President's communications line, indicating it was someone who knew who Cayenne really was and subtly manipulated the man to do everything. The final file is likewise written by an unknown man who, following humanity's eradication by Juno, is preparing to "take back everything that was stolen from [him]". The unlockable Secret Movie teases a third game in the series through a hefty amount of Mind Screw. In it, Malt sees a Bad Future where a new war involving the Berman Empire has claimed the lives of his friends, the children are told Petit Mona is "a birthplace of heroes" and that at least Boron is a reincarnation of a legendary warrior, it's hinted that Jihl's spirit is still tied to Hanna after his sacrifice, Wappa mentions a "great kingdom" that existed in the past, Flam has regained consciousness, Maestro watches over "a new beginning", and Malt proclaims this will be the story of how he betrayed the world. Locations shown include a city full of skyscrapers, a structure that looks suspiciously like the Futzu Tower, and outer space and even the moon. | |

It's also stated that the desires and memories of those within the Deep Depths impact how the realm is perceived by them, as evidenced by how Malt experienced an illusion of Petit Mona created from his memories. | |

Wham Episode: Chapter 3, "The Palace of Silence": the conclusion to the Tarascus' pursuit of the rogue Taranis. Jihl gains access to the Belenos, and uses it to heavily damage the Taranis and destroy the Tarascus, causing Hanna's evacuation teleportation to fail and her body to dissipate into light. The remaining children are so outraged that the remains of the ruined tanks resonate with them and merge into a single machine: the Exo-Taranis. Chapter 4, "The Shadow of Trees": it's implied that Jihl isn't entirely working on his own, and is revealed to have a contact discussing matters with him. Meanwhile, Malt's frustration towards his failure to save Hanna boils over, and he vows to take Jihl's life as revenge. Chapter 7, "Forgotten Images": after wondering if they heard Hanna's voice guiding them in the previous chapter, the children are able to confirm that Hanna's soul still exists… as a Virtual Ghost inside the Belenos' systems. Destroying the Belenos will thus permanently erase her, but she encourages them to chase Jihl down and do so, for Jihl's sake, before the Belenos' power consumes him. Then, in the next port town before the next chapter begins, Vanilla receives a message claiming that her father, Shayne Muscat, is still alive. Chapter 9, "The Game of Knucklebones": Jihl's backstory is revealed— Crusade originally created him as one of many hybrid children meant to pilot the Belenos, and when testing for it failed, they exploited him as a renewable source of energy for the Soul Cannon. Jihl's assumption that his "Mama" (the woman responsible for caring for him and the other hybrids) did nothing but leave him to black out in the Taranis is also proven wrong— it's revealed that she sacrificed herself in his place for the Taranis to land the killing blow on the Vanargand. Chapter 10, "The Interrupted Serenade": Hanna learns that someone has been guiding Jihl all along. Jihl completes the Belenos, having had a change of heart and planning to use it to resurrect Hanna. However, the Belenos' hidden programming activates, trapping Jihl and merging him with its bio-machinery. When the other children catch up, they also learn who Jihl's secret benefactor was: Vanilla's former tutor Cayenne, who had faked his own death and used Nono magic to appear as President Muscat for the past six months, then faked that death as well. Revealing his desire to use the Belenos to revive the Vanargand and use it to destroy the Berman Empire in revenge, Cayenne then uses magic to force Vanilla to set off a suicide bomb in the Exo-Taranis, and then uses the Belenos at full power against the incapacitated children, killing them all. They get better in the next chapter. Chapter 12, "Sounds and Perfumes Swirl in the Evening Air": the children take a Multi-Stage Battle across the Belenos-revived Vanargand, and are backed up by the Gasco Army, along with their former "prisoners" Stollen and Baum. | |

Interface Spoiler: Looking at the Link Events page shows that each combination of characters has three events, and if one counts up the number of ??? slots they can determine early on that there isn't enough space for every known kid. If you look properly at the screens that feature the children as a whole like the battle results along with the Soul Cannon and Managarm interfaces, you will see that there is only enough space for 12 children while there are supposedly 13 playable characters. When AI Hax picks the kids at random for the Soul Cannon, he never picks Vanilla or Malt no matter how many times you trigger it, hinting at their possible Plotline Deaths later in the game. | |

Meat Moss: The "Berman Geists", machines from the previous war that are now being operated without pilots, tend to be coated in fleshy growths and actual moss. | |

Mood Whiplash: At the end of Chapter 4 Malt is at his lowest, broken and crying out from the top of the Taranis, proclaiming his murderous revenge against Jihl as a rainstorm falls around him. And in the very next scene, less than 10 seconds of playtime later, Wappa shows up in a perfect inversion of Shoo Out the Clowns. | |

Infinity +1 Sword: There are two items you can get upon starting New Game Plus, those being the Gasco Medal and the Golden Pawbun. They both provide the simple, yet very effective, effects of doubling all Judgement points, Affinity, and Experience gained. They are also the most expensive items in the game bar none, possibly invoking multiple repeat playthroughs if you're also trying to budget for items and upgrade materials. | |

Religious and Mythological Theme Naming | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_ae6adc36 | comment |
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: The trailer mentions something or someone called "Belenos", named after a healing god in Celtic Mythology, akin to how the Taranis is named after the Gaulish god of thunder. It turns out to be the name of the tank Jihl commandeers in order to get his revenge. The reference to the god actually makes sense when it's revealed the true purpose of the Belenos was to bring people back to life. | |

Rearrange the Song: As Gasco has been fragmented into islands and certain locales start to forge into their more modern Shepherd Republic selves, a lot of the stage themes in this game are rougher, militarized remixes of existing Solatorobo songs, such as "Holy Samoyede", "Slums of Basset", "Shetland Mines", and "Mau -The Bower-". | |

Timed Mission: If you sustain enough damage during boss battles, the AI Hax will auto-load the Soul Cannon as a defense mechanism. Failure to end a battle before the countdown ends (which goes down with each passing turn) results in an auto-fire of the fatal weapon. That said, there's an option during intermission periods to pray in front of the Soul Cannon Chamber to reduce the percentage of health loss required to trigger the countdown. Praying three times (which costs 6 action points in total) can disable the countdown entirely! | |

The unlockable Secret Movie teases a third game in the series through a hefty amount of Mind Screw. In it, Malt sees a Bad Future where a new war involving the Berman Empire has claimed the lives of his friends, the children are told Petit Mona is "a birthplace of heroes" and that at least Boron is a reincarnation of a legendary warrior, it's hinted that Jihl's spirit is still tied to Hanna after his sacrifice, Wappa mentions a "great kingdom" that existed in the past, Flam has regained consciousness, Maestro watches over "a new beginning", and Malt proclaims this will be the story of how he betrayed the world. Locations shown include a city full of skyscrapers, a structure that looks suspiciously like the Futzu Tower, and outer space and even the moon. | |

Shout-Out: The first chapter of the game is titled "The Devil in the Belfry", after the poem by Edgar Allan Poe. The rest of the chapter titles, such as "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair", "The Palace of Silence" and "Dead Leaves", are named after Claude Debussy compositions, just like with the chapter titles of the previous game. The achievement rewarded for spending over 50,000 rings at shops is called "Big Shot". | |

Serial Escalation: In the previous game's final chapter, the Taranis was able to get on top of the Vanargand before it fully stood up, and then entered a crack in its shell to directly fight its heart, the Tarascus. In this game's final chapter, first the Exo-Taranis has to disable one of the Belenos-empowered Vanargand's legs, then climb up it to disable the spikes on its back that are shooting down allied airships, and then use an airship to fight the Vanargand face-to-face, with its face still capable of emitting the same amount of power that fractured Gasco into an archipelago. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The new Airship mechanic is full of these, which can make progression easier on you if you have the Rings to spare. You can use the transport service to not only take you to disconnected or further ahead points in the map, but also backwards as well, allowing you to go through other parallel routes for extra items, materials, and experience points. The Airships act as shops that you can use to buy useful items and materials or to sell treasures, as well as provide extra HP and SP drops in the next available empty space, meaning you no longer have to wait until the end of each chapter to obtain an important part or be as restrictive with using Skills compared to the first game. If you use the Airship's Air Raid services, you can still gain experience relative to the threat level of the encounter wiped out. In the final chapter, the second half consists of two mini-bosses fought back to back, one of which being a Flunky Boss, so extra HP/SP Recovery spots are added to make sure you don't burn yourself out by the Final Boss. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: Per the last game's confirmation that Gasco will eventually become Shepherd, the map of Gasco seen in this game looks very similar to how Shepherd appears in Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, with only a few key differences (for example, Vizsla is situated on the southern peninsula of a larger landmass in this game, compared to how in Solatorobo the peninsula will have split off into its own island to the south of said landmass). Some areas also have themes that are remixes of their Solatorobo counterparts, in ways that vary from subtle to obvious. Other geographical things to note are: The industrial city of Pharaoh has been established as the nation's new de facto capital, replacing the ruined Paresia. It'll remain the capital by the time Solatorobo occurs. It's also mentioned in the Library that a rail line is being developed to better transport bedrock collected from the nearby mountain range to Pharaoh, with it possibly being a distant precursor to the passenger trains seen in Solatorobo-era Pharaoh. It's stated in the library entry for Lhassa Apso that the hot springs of Dachs (as in "dachshund") were created as a result of the land rupturing from the Vanargand's attack, along with the destruction of the island's lava beds and sulphur deposits. While Lhassa Apso was a location created for Fuga, Dachs was originally shown off in supplementary materials for Solatorobo, specifically the "Red Data Children" novels and the Archives art books. Between Chapter 4 and 5, one NPC will note that the island of Basset is a place where airships are known to crash. The island's respective Library entries add to this by discussing how a low magnetic field that causes machinery to go berserk has been discovered around the eastern port of the island, along with stating that Basset suffers from a general lack of resources due to its distance from Pharaoh. By the time of Solatorobo, Basset is a slum town composed almost entirely of wrecked battleships. Shetland's Library entry discusses how— following its takeover by the Berman Army and the fragmentation of Gasco— it has now become a full-on mining island with major airship support and industrialization underway, which will remain the case for it by Solatorobo. While the last game already established that Mau had a sizable population of spell-casting Felineko long before the Berman Army showed up, its Library entry for this game states that the fragmentation of Gasco has isolated it and encouraged many followers of the Oshilasama folk religion to make their way there. Compared to the desert seen in the last game, slightly more vegetation seems to have shown up across Mau in this game, possibly alluding to how the island's climate is that of a windy grassland by the time of Solatorobo. The Library entry discussing the wetlands of Vizsla mentions that the local flora and fauna have begun to mutate and grow following Gasco's fragmentation. By the time of Solatorobo, the island of Vizsla is covered with mushrooms so massive that the island's residents have built homes upon them, and giant insects like ladyshrooms and scarabees have also come into existence as pets and pests respectively. Socks, being The Smart Guy of the group, expresses an interest in Old World technology when the children enter one of the Crusade facilities. Likewise, when the children learn Jihl's backstory, he specifically is the one to point out how unbelievable that the technology to create "hybrids" existed— a relatively subtle nod to how his distant descendant Merveille will help to create some more of these hybrids herself. The boss of Chapter 7 is Matir, a massive robot created by Crusade and the Female Engineer to protect the pilots of the Belenos. Solatorobo and its supplementary materials have discussed a century-long period of conflict collectively known as the Hundred Lilies War, the last stretch of which involved the Kingdom of Shepherd engineering large battle robots to turn the tide of the war in their favor— with the first use of these robots being set to occur over four and a half centuries after the Fuga trilogy. Suspiciously, Matir has a very similar design to the machines created by Shepherd, with the most obvious difference being that the Crusade logo on its front plate is swapped out with a magatama-like symbol. In the final chapter when Cayenne restores the Vanargand through using the power of the Belenos, the Vanargand destroys the ruined island its main body came to rest upon in the last game's finale, explaining why said island is completely gone by the time Solatorobo takes place. | |

| Fuga: Melodies of Steel 2 (Video Game) / int_f3f391f6 | comment |
Fission Mailed: In Chapter 1, When Mei was put in the Soul Cannon chamber by Jihl during the first boss fight with the Taranis, The Kids find themselves too horrified and worried about harming her to do anything and the Taranis was able to fire the Soul Cannon at the Tarascus, wiping it out, cue Malt having his first encounter with Maestro who chides Malt for his hesitation before rewinding time to just before the first fight with the Taranis. During New Game Plus, this scene is skipped with Malt quickly figuring out how to save Mei just before the fight proper starts. In Chapter 4, Malt arguing with the other kids over whether to prioritize taking down the Belenos or saving a nearby town from a Berman Geist it generated leads to the tank taking damage, and AI Hax sacrificing Malt to the Soul Cannon to protect itself. The scene then suddenly switches to Maestro chiding Malt's spirit, and he rewinds time to before the tank was damaged, allowing Malt and the kids to take down the Geist. Chapter 10 ends with the Exo-Taranis' engine bombed and the entire party getting vaporized by a fully-powered Belenos. After an intermission that seems to take place in the afterlife, Malt once again encounters Maestro, and is encouraged to reach out to the spirits of his other friends. Once Malt has done so, Maestro once again helps him rewind time, and slightly alters history so that the Belenos spares the Exo-Taranis after its engine is disabled. | |

Non-Malicious Monster: The boss of chapter 7 is a sentry robot named Matir, reprogrammed by the Female Engineer to protect the pilot of the Belenos (which happens to be Jihl). It's possible to end the fight with it prematurely if you tell it that you don't want to harm Jihl, in which case it stands down (though you won't get the XP and items reward after the battle in this case). | |
