In a land far far away, lies the kingdom of Fiore, a small peaceful nation of 17 million and a place filled with magic. Found in every home bought and sold in every marketplace, for most magic is only a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art and they devoted their lives towards its practice. These are the wizards, banded together into magical guilds they use their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore, but there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born, a guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name is...

Fairy Tail is a popular Shōnen manga/anime series originally released in 2006. It follows a group of magicians/warriors with shady/tragic pasts who are brought together by a single man, mr. Makarov (in the above picture, it is the small, bearded, old man sleeping on the left side of the picture). Think of the guild like an orphanage of a kind, most everyone who is part of the guild either has a dark history, secret or very unfortunate events after which they were found by Makarov or found their own way to the guild. The members of the guild form parties and venture on all sorts of quests in search of fame, fortune, glory, to show everyone how strong they are or to help others in need.
Each member of the guild uses different magic. Some use classics like ice, fire, thunder, water etc. others use very specialized like pict magic (you paint something on a canvas and it materializes), summoning magic, transformation magic (stealing souls from monsters and then infusing them with your own), knight magic, gun magic etc. etc. etc.
It is a very lighthearted series about friendship, doing what's right and having faith in the people you love with a lot of silly characters and plots but also very emotional encounters and moments. Fairy Tail holds a special place in my heart as the first season is one of the most fun I have ever had watching an anime. The manga books are very good too and I wholeheartedly recommend both.
It is very simple. You have your party of 5 characters who come to Mirajane, who is the guild secretary, bartender and administrator all in one, and take quests from her (here in the image is her sister Lisanna, Mira is the one with the long hair on the left).
You then leave the guild and go to the map screen.
Once at your destination you can move around, collect items, fight monsters and do quests.
Battles are turn based. The game is made by Gust so there are a lot of similarities between this and the Atelier Series. Basically you take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses and guard your own from being exploited. After each battle you get XP, to level up, and rewards. Pretty standard stuff really. You have a power gauge which can be used to perform super moves or a "unison raid" which is a combination attack with another wizard usually with complimentary magic (ice and water for example). These are extremely powerful and appear quite rarely even in the manga/anime. To initiate a unison raid both wizards have to be "in tune" with one another, strong affections are the most common way to achieve this.
all images are from the dualshockers.com's preview of the game.
So what kind of characters are playable in the game? Probably a few but I will give you the rundown of the most important ones, the 5 you will most likely start with.
Natsu Dragneel is a Dragon Slayer. Those are the magicians who were taught by dragons how to slay other dragons. He uses fire magic and focuses mostly on melee attacks. A very kind and loving goof who makes fun of everything, but can take things seriously if need be. Usually he is the one who takes charge of the situation not because he is good at planning or leading, but because others enjoy his insane ideas. Natsu also has a flying cat companion called Happy, who Natsu found as an egg. He spends most of his day wondering what else is there to eat or who to challenge to prove his strength.
Lucy Heartfilia became one of Natsu's best friends after he saved her (partially) from a pirate rapist in the 1st episode. Since then they have been inseparable. Lucy really likes Natsu, but he is too dumb to notice or pretends he doesn't. She uses Celestial keys to summon powerful spirits of the Zodiac to fight for her (like a Pokémon trainer). A charming, caring person, who isn't afraid to use her womanly attributes to get her way. She also uses a whip so one of her spirits called her dominatrix, much to Lucy's dismay. She spends most of her time wondering how she is going to make rent money each month, since she lives in a big apartment by the river, or she is writing novels.
Grey Fullbuster is an ice wizard who hates heat so he undresses often. He and Natsu have a love/hate relationship. He is the polar opposite of Natsu. Natsu calls him exhibitionist, Grey calls him idiot, the usual stuff. Calculating, careful and always trying to find optimal solutions to problems but even he can succumb to emotional outbursts, usually when Natsu is around. So in the end, they are more alike than might seem at first glance. A water wizard, Juvia, is madly in love with him but the feelings aren't mutual. Nevertheless, he respects Juvia a lot and often teams up with her. Grey enjoys ice sculpting and chilling with his buddies.
Wendy Marvel is also a Dragon Slayer like Natsu. She uses Sky Dragon magic (wind). A very kind, gentle and shy girl who's lack of experience often times leads to her losing her composure and focus. Nevertheless, if she is properly guided she can utilize very powerful attacks, rivaling those of Natsu himself. Wendy also has a flying cat companion, Carla.
The strongest female member of Fairy Tail, the queen of the Fairies, Erza Titania Scarlet. She is a warrior mage who uses martial skills to defeat her opponents. She can switch weapons and armor during battle as many times as she wishes to exploit any weaknesses that she can find in her opponent. She often uses swords, but can use spears, axes, pole-arms, shields, bows or even just her fists. Hard to approach and generally feared by most members of the guild, she is actually very kind (in her mailed-fist-"patting" kind of way) and is willing to sacrifice herself for anyone in Fairy Tail. In her spare time, she enjoys reading erotic literature.
