Ghostlight have announced they are bringing Agarest: Generations of War 2 to Europe in 2012 on the PS3. the game was developed by Compile Heart, RED, and Localized by Aksys Game. the press release best tells the story of the game.
Game Story:
One day, the world was
enveloped by a mysterious blinding light. The destruction it caused
was terrible, even as the light itself was sublime in its beauty, and
it made those who witnessed the awesome display think of the
unrestrained rage and fury of the divine.
The central continent,
from where the light is believed to have originated from, went
silent, while at the same time demons began to spread throughout the
world like a plague. Amongst the survivors of the catastrophe, that
fateful day became known as the "Day of Light."
Sometime after the
events of the Day of Light, a young man by the name of Weiss, who had
lost all memory of himself, encounters an enigmatic woman named Eva,
who introduces herself as an Agent of the Divine. It is from her that
Weiss learns that he has committed the grievous sin of deicide, and
that in order for him to atone for his crime he is to become the
"Vessel" in which the power of the divinity he had
slaughtered will be stored. For it will be that power that will be
used to resurrect the one whose life he stole.
For those who betray
the divine will pay for their sins in the space which separates
salvation and damnation, as will their progeny...
