The game itself has the highest number of playable character in the series yet, including Noire who assumes the role of the protagonist in this game. Neptune, Vert and Blanc will return as playable characters. Histoire returns as well but it is unknown if she is a playable character or not. IF and Compa return as DLC characters. However, it seems that you play the role as Noire's faceless secretary. This game has the first character that is actually from another CH game and not a parody of it as a dlc, Tiara from Fairy Fencer F. This might be because the main artist in both games are the same.
