“Sailing Era has four playable characters, each with different destiny to fulfill. The Chinese captain Yun Mu is the scholarly daughter of a merchant. She is searching for knowledge and new horizons. Andrew is cruising from Europe to dream of becoming the world’s greatest navigator. Abdullah is the skilled leader of pearl divers in Arabian Gulf, which are searching for a treasure. In the end, Yoshitaka counts shipwrights and nobles in his family tree, an ancient Japanese warrior, ready to protect his clan when war comes. The distinctive vision and personality of Sailing Era accentuated by its re-orientation.
