The game follows the story of Clive Rosfield, a warrior given the title “First Shield of Rosaria.” He has sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire. However, Clive is eventually caught up in a great tragedy and swears revenge on the Dark Eikon known as Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.
