The game begins with the four characters meeting on a train by coincidence. The lead character, Virginia Maxwell is an 18-year-old drifter who is searching for her long-lost father. Gallows Carradine is a 24-year-old Baskar native seemingly intent on escaping his hometown and priest bloodline. Clive Winslett is a cool-headed bounty-hunter with a soft spot for his family. Lastly, Jet Enduro is a cold-blooded boy who lets nothing get in his way.
After meeting on the train, the motley group is thrown into a fight over the priceless treasure, the Ark Scepter, with a group of bandits: Janus Cascade and his two cronies, Dario and Romero. The group travels to Baskar Colony and from there becomes involved in a dangerous mission to save their world, Filgaia. (Wikipedia)
