A young swordsman named Darius and a homemaker named Sharline grew up together in Solta, one of the villages in the Fontraile empire. Solta is populated by people who bear strange marks known as crests. Ancient Billiana Trees cover the landscape shared by Solta and the neighboring Morea, and the two villages disagree as to their role: the people of Morea consider them sacred, while the people of Solta claim they suck out the energy of the land. Eventually, a war erupts, and Darius' parents are killed by assassins from Morea. The two young people have to follow each their own way to restore justice and peace.
Evergrace is an action role-playing game. The player can follow Darius and Sharline through two separate storylines, and switch between the two characters at save points. The game allows players to switch between characters at any save point. Experience is gathered by using items and equipment rather than by leveling up a character directly. Equipped items can also be combined with special items to increase the parameters of the characters.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a dark fantasy RPG where players follow the intertwined journeys of Darius and Sharline, two individuals connected to a mysterious "Crest" and the ancient Rieubane Empire. Players will uncover the secrets of the Crest, the powerful "Palmira" resource, and the history of their world while battling enemies and seeking vengeance or a way home.
Story
HISTORY
The Rise and Fall of the Rieubane Empire
Long ago, the Rieubane Empire emerged. A great warrior, a legendary mercenary of the Edinbury continent, and his army fought against the Empire. The Empire concluded that the warrior's inhuman power came from the Crest with which he was born.
Morpheus, a magician of the Empire, established the Human Research Laboratory. He conducted research on the Crest by capturing the warrior. As a result, the man-made AI Crest and Palmira armaments were developed, supporting the ascent of Rieubane.
Morpheus always believed there was a greater hidden strength in the Crest and continued his research. However, when Rieubane invaded Toledo to capture more test subjects, the Empire—along with Morpheus and all its people—suddenly disappeared.
People remembered the "Lost Empire of Rieubane," linking the Crest and Billiana trees as bad omens.
The Birth of Fontraile in the Tragedy of the Crest
A hundred years after the disappearance of Rieubane, tales of the Lost Empire withered away, and the land became a forest of Billiana trees. Four villages that once belonged to the empire formed an alliance to establish the empire of Fontraile. However, ties between the villages were weak, and internal conflicts were frequent.
The territorial land of Fontraile grew more fragile year after year. Solta, one of the four villages, claimed the land was being depleted by the Billiana forests, which sucked up nutrients and resources. They stated that the Billiana forests should be cut down.
Morea, however, treated the Billiana trees as sacred and fiercely disagreed with the Soltans. The two villages argued repeatedly. The fierce argument finally developed into a war, later referred to as the "Billiana War."
The Soltans had four great warriors known as the Four Swordsmen of Solta, and with their strength, Morea was overcome. Once Morea was defeated, a new country of Fontraile was developed, led by the Soltans.
Story
Long ago, on the continent of Edinbury, there existed people with a mark known only as the Crest. Many inexplicable and tragic events occurred around people who bore the Crest. Soon people began calling the Crest the "cursed mark" and feared and avoided anyone who had it.
Darius Story
In modern times, when such legends were long forgotten, a young lad of Solta by the name of Darius bore the Crest on his right hand. He did his best to hide it from people so that no one would see it. To his horror, his parents were murdered by an invading army when he was very young. He grew up believing that this tragedy was brought on by the Crest.
Darius grew up as a swordsman whose only concern was for vengeance. One day, while chasing after the murderer of his parents, Darius encountered a great Billiana tree, a symbol of his sworn enemy, Morea. Thus, he opened a door to a world he never knew had existed.
•
"Where am I...?"
Amid unfamiliar surroundings, Darius encountered a mysterious life form called Krisalis and learned about the Lost Empire.
•
"What's the meaning of the Crest, and what is the destiny of those who bear it?"
Sharline lived in happiness and harmony with her family and Darius, who treated her like a real sister. But she knew of the strange mark on his right hand.
One day, a sudden tragedy occurred, and Sharline was transported to a different world. When she awakened, she was met by the worried gaze of another girl.
•
"Where am I?"
In these strange and foreign surroundings, she was powerless to prevent the girl who had helped her from being kidnapped by someone.
•
"Why was she kidnapped?"
•
"Can I somehow return to my own world?"
Thus, Darius and Sharline began their journeys, each in search of destiny...
Palmira
Palmira is a crystallized form of Billiana fruit extract. It can't be used as is, but it has the power to enhance physical abilities and add special abilities (Palmira power ➠ Palmira action) by integrating it with armaments. These are referred to as "Palmira armaments."
Palmira powers are derived from the energy of Palmira itself. Therefore, Palmira power is depleted through use over a period of time. An armament from which Palmira power is completely drained becomes weaker than standard armaments and becomes useless.
Palmira is used not only for Palmira armaments (a collective term for armaments with special powers) but also to prolong life and create artificial life forms. A Palmira Piece has enough value to be used as currency, due to the value of the energy stored within.
The Crest and the AI Crest
In this world, the mark with which a rare few are born is called the Crest. Because tragedies occur around the bearers of the Crest, it was long considered a bad omen, and people referred to it as the cursed mark.
The Quasi Crest created by Morpheus, based on the Crest, is known as the "AI Crest." Morpheus created it as an instrument to explore the secrets surrounding the Crest, and thus its characteristics are quite different from those of the Crest.
The Human Research Laboratory in the Rieubane Empire was known as the primary research facility for Palmira and the AI Crest.
Billiana Trees
A mysterious tree that has existed from long ago in Edinbury. It shows no visible sign of growth. It bears fruit once a year, but the fruit has no seed. The extract of this fruit is crystallized to form Palmira.
Edinbury
This is the name of the continent where

CREATURES/ITEM BOOK

PALMIRA ARMAMENTS
Darius and Sharline can be equipped with items having special powers. These are called "Palmira armaments."
1. PALMIRA ACTION
Some Palmira armaments have powers called "Palmira action," which enable the use of various powers. There are many types of Palmira actions, including magic and physical attacks using weapons.
2. ATTRIBUTES
Each Palmira armament has its own attributes. All weapons have physical attributes, and some have magical attributes. All defensive equipment has defensive power against all attributes.
When the armament is changed, the attribute corresponding to that particular armament is displayed in the "Offense/Defense Window" in flashing characters, enabling you to check the attributes involved in that armament. The color of the characters in the "Offense/Defense Window" also changes according to magical attributes of that particular armament.
3. UPGRADING
Palmira armaments can be upgraded by adding Palmira pieces to them. Upgrading results not only in the physical strengthening of Palmira armaments, but in facilitating new Palmira actions or new attributes.
Since actions and attributes are added rather than traded, the Palmira action or attributes the armament already has will not be lost in the upgrading process. Palmira armaments can be upgraded to increase up to two levels.
Upgrading can be performed at the shops located at save points.
Fighting Tip #1
Many types of enemies populate the world of EVERGRACE. Among them are enemies that have characteristic movements or parameters. In order to fight battles effectively, select the character's attack method according to the characteristics of the enemy. When you encounter a new type of enemy, try using different techniques.
Attributes
Enemies have strengths and weaknesses against certain attributes. Damage will increase when you attack enemies using attributes against which they have little defense.
PHYSICAL ATTACK
Pressing the button will attack enemies using the equipped weapon (horizontal slash). Strength and range differ according to the weapon provided.
Pressing a directional key while pressing the button will attack enemies using a stronger "vertical slash" attack. Note that the "vertical slash" will leave you more vulnerable to attack than "horizontal slash."
COMBO
To enable combo attacks, press the button at the exact moment the "horizontal slash" hits the enemy. (Some weapons may not allow combo attacks.)
QUICK CHANGE
By pressing the button and then the button immediately you can switch to your auxiliary weapon. (Quick Change can also be performed using the Right stick only when the LED is lit red.)
ATTACK STRENGTH and POWER GAUGE
The strength of your physical attack is greatly affected by the amount of power you have stored (that is, the amount of red in the on-screen gauge: fully red indicates 100% attack power). When there is little power stored, the attack is weaker.
This game is compatible with the Analog Button Input function of the DUALSHOCK™ 2 analog controller. With this function you can control the amount of power via the power gauge. For example, you can tap the Attack button lightly to slightly decrease the amount of power used in order to perform combo attacks or dashes.
On the other hand, you can press the button more forcefully to perform a more damaging attack by using up all your stored power, allowing you to defeat an enemy in one blow. The Analog Button Input function can be set using OPTION.
DASH
To dash, press the button while moving. Dashing will use some of the power from your power gauge.
PALMIRA ACTION
Palmira armaments offer many different Palmira actions. A Palmira action is activated by pressing the button during the game. However, the power gauge must be at 100% for you to access it. Also, note that the Palmira action will use 100% of the power gauge.
1. MAGICAL PALMIRA ACTION
This type of Palmira action will, as the name indicates, give you the use of magic. Using magic effectively will allow you to attack over great distances.
2. PHYSICAL PALMIRA ACTION
This type of Palmira action lets you perform various attacks associated with that action. It increases the number of variations you can use for physical attacks, and will allow you to fight more efficiently by combining powers with physical attacks using swords and the like.
3. OTHER PALMIRA ACTIONS
These Palmira actions give you an
