Legends of Empyria is a 2007 JRPG, the ninth game in the Legends series. It is set on the planet of Empyria, a world in which humans use a mysterious substance called mana to cast spells and power machines to drive back the monsters that plague their lands. It follows the story of Lyribeth Arcanta, a young mage who sets out on a simple research trip and ends up discovering something much bigger and more sinister. One of the less popular entries of the series, Empyria is mostly notable for its fraught production history; due to creative differences and the development team's difficulty getting the game's LGBT subtext past executives, its release was delayed several times, and it didn't get an English localization until 2015.

...or it would be, if it existed. The game isn't actually real, but it's a neat little framing device that lets me think about DLC costumes and localization drama for my funny anime ocs. In another universe, a pair of dedicated fans are having a flame war right now over how you're supposed to spell Remy's name, and that's wonderful.
