Supported by BenQ CinematicSound and CinematicColor, the X3100i 4K gaming projector expands the gaming experience and immerses you in every crisp, vibrant detail. Welcome to the BenQ Game Zone Series!

The people of Euchronia must find unity to elect a new king, but with questionable figures running and devious tactics in place, Will and his party must sway the people in the right direction and find a way to free the prince from his curse. However, Will is an Elda who faces discrimination because of his inheritance of forbidden magic, forcing him to prove his worth through various connections and missions. Utilize the X3100i’s vibrant colors and crisp details to tackle challenges head-on and hop on your gauntlet runner to change the future of the kingdom.

As a mysterious and exciting story unfolds, the high stakes Royal Tournament causes the people of the Kingdom to face their fears. Every person you talk to has a story to tell, and a potential quest to undertake, so be sure to engage with all as you explore the kingdom and surrounding lands. Along with the bystanders, each member of your party has an extremely deep and meaningful backstory, joining your quest for selfless reasons or to better themselves. Track each member's stats, your relationship with them, and the levels of their Archetypes in the Party menu, shown below. As you level up archetypes, their evolving powers are revealed through stunning visual displays.

In every menu, archetype screen, and level-up screen you can see the fine-line detailed art that has gone into this game, enhanced by the large projector image of a 4K gaming projector. The character drawings become animated as they speak or are selected, and their eyes tell the tale of their journey to get here. Additionally, the game switches between gaming visuals to animated visuals, playing out like you’re watching a show or movie. With these cinematic visuals and seamless swaps between content, be sure you’re getting the most out of your experience with the X3100i. 

As an RPG from Atlus, it incorporates multiple of their gameplay systems from previous games, including the Persona 3: Reload game. The social system is key to gaining support to be voted king, and certain elements of this system include time-sensitive tasks that boost your overall success. For the fighting aspect, it is an exhilarating blend of real-time action and traditional turn-based fights. One-shot a weaker enemy without having to engage in a battle, or strategically plan your moves and buffs against harder bosses. Every in-battle action comes with prompts, vibrant attacks, and quick movements from enemies that you’ll need the large screen of the X3100i to see clearly!

The two images above are examples of turn-based gameplay (left) and real-time action (right). In the turn-based gameplay, you can see the amount of damage being done to each enemy, their vibrant color changes as they’re defeated, and who is next in the queue in your party. In the real-time action, Will quickly slashes through enemies who can be defeated with one shot, a much less vibrant but still distinct action. Regardless of the action, each member may contribute a supporting comment or witty one-liner which can be seen in the top left corner. On a smaller screen or the varying sizes of a TV, you may miss out on crucial details or important comments from your team. However, with the crisp visuals and large images of a 4K gaming projector, you won’t have to worry about missing a single detail!

The game goes beyond stunning visuals with audio and music that sets the tone for every conversation, fight, and adventure. Enhanced by BenQ CinematicSound, it rounds out the gaming experience on the X3100i, creating a fully immersive environment through visuals, audio, and comfort. Awaken your archetype and save the kingdom today!
