With Kohaku reduced to an emotionless doll, Kor takes responsibility and embarks on a worldwide quest with Hisui to track down the missing pieces of Kohaku's Spiria Core and restore her to normal, one emotion at a time. There he finds an infection of Xerom, encounters a beautiful emerald-haired girl straight from a famous nursery rhyme, and witnesses the Spiria Core that forms the keystone of Kohaku's Spiria shatter into pieces. With no other way to save Kohaku, Kor takes up Sydan's Soma and enters her Spiria. Not long after the Hearts wash up on the shore of Seaville and meet Kor, Incarose catches up to them, killing Sydan and cursing Kohaku into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, two siblings- Kohaku Hearts and her elder brother Hisui- are on the run from a mysterious sorceress called Incarose. To defend the world, weapons called 'Soma' were developed, allowing weapon-masters to physically enter the Spiria of an infected victim and eliminate the Xerom directly.Ĭenturies later, in the quiet country village of Seaville, enthusiastic teen Kor Meteor trains to become a Soma Master under the tutelage of his grandfather Sydan. In the distant past, parasitic monsters known as Xerom ravaged the world, feeding on the hearts and emotions ('Spiria') of all living things. It features graphics produced by Production IG, a musical score by series veteran Motoi Sakuraba, and a combo-centric battle system in the vein of the remake of Tales of Destiny.
