Another Eden Download

[Alayna Rother]

Another Eden: The Cat Beyond Time and Space is a free-to-play Eastern RPG for mobile phones (Android and iOS) that launched in 2017 in Japan and 2019 globally. It was also released for PC through Steam in 2021.

Aldo lives a relatively peaceful life as a town guard in Baruoki, until his sister, Feinne, is captured by the king of the beastfolk, and his failed attempt to rescue her launches him several years into the future. Aldo finds himself on a time-traveling adventure to save the world before the fabric of space-time is completely torn asunder.

The game is an attempt to create a pure J/RPG experience on mobile platforms, with an emphasis on plot and a de-emphasis on Revenue-Enhancing Devices. It shares some creators and themes with Chrono Trigger, as well as its sequel Chrono Cross. The latter's influence is most visible in the game's non-linear plot. Character-focused Side Quests are only unlocked when you actually gain access to that character... and while some of them are handed to you by the main plot, others are only available via the "Gallery of Dreams" gacha. The gacha itself is fueled by "Chronos Stones," the game's premium currency, which can be earned by Level Grinding the rather comprehensive Achievement System.

U - Z

• Useless Useful Spell:
• Minecarts allow the player to fast-travel to certain sections of the mines at Horai, expediting the journey to deeper areas. However, due to the immense resource grinding needed throughout the episode, it's usually better to go on foot, mining all sorts of resources along the way. Fast Minecarts are worse in this regard, as they require 5 alloy ingots to make (which demands a lot of coal and ores) and the added perk of being able to swap your party within the mines is not worth the effort. The alloy ingots required for a Fast Minecart are better spent on a Hildamite, an explosive which clears obstacles that guard very valuable rewards.
• The Slothfiend's Bile lowers the encounter rate in the Ruins of Rucyana. It seems useful if you want to blitz your way through the dungeon with minimal interruptions, but it needlessly drags out a Ruins run if you aim to milk all of the dungeon's random encounters for maximum Git yield.
• Miyu's and Ciel's personal weapons get quickly outclassed by stock level 60 weaponry. Their upgrade bonuses aren't the best for the characters' combat roles, even. Not helping matters is that their upgrades require drops from shiny mobs in their exclusive Another Dungeons.
• Unexpected Gameplay Change:
• The "Cat Beyond its Territory" content lets you explore the world as Varuo. Features include the ability to gather and trade for cat materials to make his cosmetic equipment, additional quests involving Varuo's mischief, expansions to maps that reveal new treasure and bosses, and a minigame where you rally your cat allies from across the overworld to fight through a crashed spaceship. The last of these is crucial to unlocking Bivette's 5-star form, by the way.
• The release of Apocrypha "Wanderer in the Vortex" introduces Timetwisted Maze, which is a roguelike Dungeon Crawler. All of your units will start from level 1 without access to their usual equipment and skillset; instead, skills can be obtained from Runes within the dungeon, and the dungeon may offer some items to help along the way (or traps to hinder the player). The stat growth of your unit can greatly differ from their original performance, as each unit is assigned one of five "classes" (ATK/DEF/TEC/MAG/SUP) that restricts what kinds of Runes they can equip. The general goal of going through the Timetwisted Maze is to gather OOPArts that can potentially become extremely powerful (but random) equipment, and clearing the Maze past a certain level once allows the player to progress sidequests to recruit Noahxis.
• The last third portion of Wanderer in the Vortex final chapter, Wanderer in the Binding Night, introduces a Turn-Based Strategy minigame where Aldo's group has to defeat a large number of monsters in a large, open space. Here, the movement of enemies and allies alike are restricted by a grid, each unit able to move three spaces per turn. Attacking other units will result in normal battle where the ambushed unit will get stunned on first turn, and each battle is restricted into two turns before a stalemate is declared. Furthermore, to assist with the situation of the battlefield, all units are equipped with a handful of command and boost skills to help them turn the tides, such as command skill to nullify stun when ambushed and to restrict enemy movement.
• Wake-Up Call Boss:
• The Visus Embryo in chapter 10 requires more strategy than previous boss fights, as it'll start using devastatingly powerful attacks once it loses half its health. You've just been introduced to the Another Force function, so it's a reminder to make the most of it to burst past dangerous boss phases.
• Ogre Rancorem, the boss of the immediate next chapter, disables the Another Force bar, forcing the player to compensate with buffs, debuffs, and Valor Chants.
• Beast King Guildna, who's fought at the climax of chapter 13, is a common stumbling point for many beginners. He's a Sequential Boss with no weaknesses, and while you have all your combat options available to you, you are expected to make the most of them, including using buffs, debuffs, Valor Chants, backline regeneration, and proper timing of Another Force, to succeed. It's fitting as he's an early Climax Boss.
• The Web Always Existed: Averted during Foran's second quest. She tries to upload a photo she just took to her social media accounts, but since she's in Aldo's time period it doesn't work.
• Welcome to Corneria: Most of the habitable settlements have one NPC that serves to welcome the player and gives brief exposition about what the settlement is. In an unusually tragic example of this trope, however, if the player goes around to explore in the final chapter of "Song of Sword and Wings of Lost Paradise" Mythos, the player can interact with an apparitions of one the Lunar Ghost City citizens near the entrance while the "doomsday" record of the moon is playing, with said citizen was practicing to welcome travelers to the city and hoping that they will eventually get visitors from the "blue planet" one day in order to say what he had been practicing. Given that everyone including him is long dead by the time the party arrives, though, it is suffice to say that he never got around to say it while he was alive.
• Wham Episode: Chapter 5 of "The Apex of Logic and Cardinal Scales" Mythos is a huge one, especially if the player has also completed "Return of the Goddess of Time" arc beforehand. The chapter reveals that there are actually two species of titans - the Former Titans that bears the curse of mutation (and isolated themselves in Pador in Antiquity Garulea), and the curse-resistant New Titans that eventually bred with regular humans and merged into one species. Because of this, humanity in the Future era are no longer "pure" humans and all of them carry titan genes within them, and all of them can potentially turn into ogres.
• Wham Line:
• The Nameless Girl drops one upon explaining her circumstances at the end of her boss battle. Nameless Girl: But... even if I do save the Fragile Plane, the world may still be destroyed in 2000 AD by a large-scale temporal disaster.
• At the end of Chapter 74, two of them are dropped very casually by the Time's Forgotten Stop Master and the Gallery Master in successive manner. Master: What brings me here? Aldo... I came to help you, of course. You, my past self. (...) Gallery Master: We are... Master and I are you. Your future self, Aldo.
• One particular line in Hardy's Another Style quest hammers down how a key element of "The Apex of Logic and Cardinal Scales" Mythos deeply affects the workings of Elzion. Auction Presenter: How many of you are familiar with the Lost Laboratory?
• Wham Shot:
• Renri's Another Style quest ends with one. At first, it seems that the still-active (if haywire) machines in the Toto Dreamland was caused by the former owner of the park (illegally) attempting to resurrect the place. After the perpetrator is apprehended, however, the game fades to a shot of the Toto and Mimi mascots in the entrance of the park... and Mimi's costume suddenly talks to Toto saying "it's time to play", surrounded by numerous Parasitotos dancing around them.
• Chapter 66 ends with the Church of Time in the future being restored, and the Daughter of Time appeared once again and unveiled herself in front of the party...to reveal that she has Professor Madoka's face, although she promptly introduced herself as the disappearing Queen of Gadaro before disappearing with the Church of Time once again.
• In Chapter 2 of "The 3000 Realm Ark and the Sea Abyss", Milsha revealed that some of the Atlantican citizens had gone missing, which became the reason she went to investigate the undersea volcano, only for them to come back on their own with the help of some travelers. Cue some time later after the party decided to try performing the Ceremony of the Protector simultaneously to restore the crimson corals and left the area, the camera pans to one section of Uncharted Region Verdot... with the apparent corpses of the same fishfolk who had gone missing.
• What Happened to the Mouse?:
• Between chapters 25 and 67, the party gets caught up in story beats that are unrelated to the main objective saving Eden until the following story arc.
• Early in Cetie's character quest, he stated that one of the main reasons he became part of the law enforcement is to clear his father's name, who was a politician who became a pawn in a large-scale embezzlement case and died in prison while the ones who were truly responsible got away, and to this day he still tries to. However, the rest of his character quests do not address this any further and instead focuses more on his role as an agent of Cardinal Vestige and how he tries to uphold the justice he believes in despite everything.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The synth that was disguised as Galliard had been collecting Sound Orbs as mementos from humans (including those that Amy's mother had) in the hopes of studying human culture.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Ciel. Even most other characters think he's a girl at first.
• Winged Humanoid: The people of Winged People's Village, a.k.a. "Those Bearing Wings", possess wings those become the source of their magic power. However, they are unable to fly due to the curse placed upon the village until Mistrare breaks the curse at the end of Chapter 4 of the Mythos.
• Wolfpack Boss:
• A few Otherlands or Boss Rush fights consist of a group of similarly strong enemies. Some even have a Combination Attack of their own, while others Turns Red when a single member is left alive. Unlike Flunky Bosses you have to defeat the whole group rather than focus on its leader.
• The Manifest fights for Isuka, Claude, and Hismena all have relatively straightforward attack patterns... but at some point they will bring the other Manifests into the fight, using their teamwork to complicate matters. You still only need to beat the main focus of the fight to win, but it definitely won't be easy.
• Mariel's Another Style Manifest full power rematch, much unlike the first round, starts with Yipha instead of Mariel. She's immune to magic, and if knocked down to 50% HP, Bertrand comes in, who's immune to physical. Knock both of them out, and Mariel herself will finally show up, fully revive them, and reinforce them with a 2-turn full damage negation shield.
• Word Salad Title: The title of the game turns out to make sense in context. It's a major plot point that a time-displaced cat got transformed into a replica of another character, who is named Eden.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: At chapter 83, the party has defeated the embodiment of Chaos, thwarted the Phantom's plans, and even started to reunite Professor Madoka with Eden after separating her from her alternate identity as Himika. But at the last moment, the Phantom snatches Eden away to trap him in darkness again, and Madoka, who can't bear to be separated from Eden again, hurls herself into the darkness to be with him, just as the dark god is being sealed away again. Thus concludes the Goddess of Time major story arc.
• Year Inside, Hour Outside: In the Time Mine side episode, the task of rebuilding the broken bridge is scheduled to take a long time, and Aldo leaves the village in the meantime. When he returns, he is shocked to find the bridge already completed, and that several years have passed for the villagers. The cause of the phenomenon is the remains of the Visus Embryo, buried within the depths of the third mine.
• Zip Mode: You can travel to areas you've visited previously, including locations over different time periods once the Spacetime Rift is unlocked.
