Till now, Fu has usually carried out experiments out of curiosity, inflicting bother for the protagonists and different Time Patrollers. Nonetheless, since Fu himself was not doing it out of malice, the protagonists ended up getting flabbergasted each time.

In Future Saga, nonetheless, Fu acts with a transparent objective. And because of this, the battle will develop right into a battle for the “future” of not solely the “Time Rift” but in addition that of the protagonists and the complete world.

Notice for Readers: The Time Rift is a crack in historical past that has been created by repeated altered historical past. The within is an alien area, however the occasions that happen there, for higher or worse, don’t have an effect on the “historical past” of the world itself.

Track: All through the Xenoverse collection, the “Villainous Mode” and “Supervillain” sorceries have been a supply of bother for the protagonists and Time Patrollers, however in Future Saga, the “Extremely Supervillain” sorceries are launched.

Whereas it will probably present great power, it’s also very harmful as a result of its affect on historical past is so nice, however plainly Fu intends to harness this energy. This “Extremely Supervillain” can be an necessary key all through the Saga, so we hope you’ll take note of it.
