Daikoukai Jidai
Also know as: Uncharted Waters
In Japanese, the term Daikoukai Jidai refers to the "age of discovery," a period that dates back to the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, when European explorers sailed for alternative routes to Asia because of the blockade Of the Ottoman Empire of the terrestrial trade routes. This period was characterized by the rivalry between Spain and Portugal, the advent of colonization and exploration in general. In the next video games, other countries would also be involved. Some historical events of this time like the Treaty of Tordesillas, are also mentioned. The different renditions of this series contain many references to the historical background, but like Pirates !, the most treacherous aspects of this era are idealized to create an adventurous and exciting environment.
