Danette gets her choice of various implements of destruction, but you have no such choice. Near the beginning, the now-aging elder Layna offers you and your childhood friend Danette two very special weapons. On the other hand, unlike other games that place the player in this role, Soul Nomad presents a lot of choices but subtly deigns to remove from you the most drastic choice in the title. Sadly, yes, this does mean that your main protagonist is of the expressionless mute variety, playing as a paper doll for your own choices and being railroaded throughout cut scenes.
After a fair bit of backstory, you're presented the option to choose the name and gender of your character. The story starts on the continent of Prodesto, where an ancient, unimaginable evil was sealed away two centuries ago by a sorceress and ruler of considerable power named Layna. The latest of N1's games, Soul Nomad deviates drastically from the universe that is home to titles such as Disgaea and Phantom Brave. Take, for example, Soul Nomad and the World Eaters. While very few of their games stray from the grid- and turn-based tactical roots, and even fewer stray from the comedic, tongue-in-cheek influences of Disgaea, each and every one of Nippon Ichi's games has had a little something new thrown in, something that makes it drastically different from its brethren. Though Nippon Ichi was a totally unknown company back when it released Disgaea, the strategy/RPG development company has expanded its hold on American gamers, becoming almost as notable in the RPG industry as Square Enix.
