TGS2026 Eternal Anima Hands-On: A JRPG That "Predicts Your Predictions"

Marvelous' JRPG Eternal Anima was playable at TGS2026 in an hour-long demo covering the opening of Chapter 3. Directed by Katsuhisa Higuchi with a script by Kazushige Nojima, its turn-based combat centers on an action bar that shows damage, crits and enemy targets, letting players delay enemy turns and knock foes off the bar into a break state with one-turn stun. The demo ended with a boss guarding the divine tree, defeated after more than a dozen turns.
