Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Story ]
In ancient time, the source of all, the elemental powers, were sealed away for fear that they'll destroy the world. But as a result, losing the elemental powers as its nourishment, the world began to wither.
To save the world from this crisis, warriors known as "Adepts", those who wield Psynergy, unleashed the elemental powers into the world again.
However, the surpressed elemental powers were so great that they basically aroused a recreation of heaven and earth. Natural disasters occur all over the world. Plus the earth crust displacements, the continents aren't the same anymore.
Those who witnessed the moment this great energy pouring from the sky called it the "Golden Sun".


[ Weyard - the stage of adventure ]
Peace is back in these lands healing from the wounds created by the Golden Sun. People dwell in towns and villages in the more vivid nature. The catacombs of ancient civilization will be the stages for the adventure of our new heroes.


[Interview]
Hiroyuki Takahashi, the older brother and the head of Camelot, is in charge of the story.
Shuugo Takahashi, the younger brother, is the director.

Hiroyuki tells us, "the first two games are prologues of this series. From this game on, it's the main story."

Q: Tell us more about the new protagonist.
Hiroyuki: When the power of alchemy was released, the world went topsy-turvy. Therefore the protagonist of previous games, although saved the world, weren't much appreciated. Their children will carry this burden.
Shuugo: There are many who think they saved the world, yet many who think they are the ones who destroyed it.
Hiroyuki: The protagonist of previous games are known as "Warriors of Vale". As their children, they grew up being despised by some and respected by some. It's a little complicated.
Shuugo: Of course this will be mentioned in the game so people who haven't played previous games can enjoy the story as well.

Q: Will the characters in previous games appear?
Shuugo: It's essential to provide elements that brings enjoyments to fans who played the previous games. Although I can't tell you now, there'll be surprises to look forward to.

Q: What's the meaning of the subtitle, Dark Dawn?
Hiroyuki: The subtitle tells the core of the story. You'll understand what it means as the story goes on.
Shuugo: "darkness" and "dawn" seems opposite. You can consider it as darkness and light, destruction and revival.

Q: Will there be two games for this story?
Hiroyuki: No. This time it's one game. However, we'll try to bring you the enjoyment of imagining what the world will be like after the story ends.
