In addition to the release date, Nintendo revealed a special edition of the game. It&#8217;ll come with a real cloth map, pop-up book, soundtrack CD, and a replica coin based on the game&#8217;s in-game currency. This special edition, called the Wayfarer edition, will launch on the same day as the regular edition.</p>
<p>During the Direct, producer Masahi Takahashi shared some new details on the game and revealed two more characters: Tressa and Alfyn. Takahashi also announced a new feature in the form of the ability to have multiple jobs per character when in battle.</p>
