Orcish Empire storming a guard tower in Ronfaure

This is the collective term given to the series of battles and border skirmishes waged in the Quon and Mindartian theaters during the Crystal War.

Orcish Empire sieging the ramparts of San d'Oria

All those wishing to serve would enlist with one of the allied army's three main forces--the Kingdom of San d'Oria, the Republic of Bastok, or the Federation of Windurst--to combat the ever-advancing beastmen confederate comprising the Quon Host of the Orcish Empire, the Quadav Shieldwarriors, the Yagudo Theomilitary, and the Shadowlord's Dark Kindred. However, a volunteer's duties were not always limited to direct engagement with the enemy. Campaign Endeavors also extended to tasks such as marches, supply runs, entrenchment and fortification, and cooperative maneuvers with allied forces.

It would not be an exaggeration to say it was through a delicate balance of military prowess and comprehensive strategy that these campaigns were ultimately able to lead the allies into victory.

• New Battle System: Campagnie
• Campagnie takes place across Quon and Mindartia, as the Alliance of Altana fights the Beastmen.
• The enemies are the Shadow Lord's 血盟軍, personal army bound by a blood oath, consisting of Orcs, Yagudo and Quadav, and the Shadow Lord's personal guard.
• Campagnie will incorporate elements of strategy as you defend various forts across the land.
• Left Picture is assumed to be Orcs fighting in Ronfuare. They speculate that losing the fort to the Orcs may increase their number in the present-day Ronfuare.
• Right Picture is assumed to be Yagudo guarding a structure in Sarutabaruta. They wonder if perhaps players will be able to successfully drive out the Yagudo, thus eliminating their presence in present-day Sarutabaruta.

Additional Translation of Dengeki and Famitsu Article by Elmer the Pointy

Various tidbits translated from magazine: (They are not my opinions or guesses, but in some cases not 100% facts. The Lightning Brigade likes to have little conversations and speculate like players. However, the stuff they hint at is usually true because they work with info given by Square Enix)

• People are lined up near an NPC-like figure in the last picture. Perhaps they are getting ready for Campagnie?
• They guess the mysterious, dark area is inside the Shrouded Maw, but have no idea where it appears.
• New Weaponskills were seen, one with an explosion of Flowers, and one with an ice crystal looking effect. Perhaps these can only be performed with weapons obtained in the past? They said in an interview that some items would only manifest their true effects in the past.
• Man your "I told you so" stations! Dancer will NOT BE FEMALE-ONLY! Square-Enix confirmed "Males can also Job Change to Dancer."
• Rumors of a new tank-job 力士 Rikishi (Wrestler, Strongman) are circulating amongst adventurers. ((Note: Different from the joke Sumo picture))\
