A familiar presence, introducing Ming Jing

After the launch on PlayStation, wanderers across Domain 9 can encounter a familiar figure known as Ming Jing, now bearing a new identity and responsibility. In Aesperia, he stands as the composed and solemn leader for the refugees, while in Domain 9, he carries a fresh mantle of power and duty.

It’s a revered deity in Chinese religion. With this Xuanwu totem, Ming Jing’ can summon divine power and create formations to attack enemies.
