New character stuff, as well as the tutorial video we've seen already, and updates to a couple of gameplay pages.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/afej/system/training2.html

The skill page has details on some stuff we know and some stuff we don't. There's some stuff like Astra and Strength +2; also other things. I can't read many of them because I don't know much kanji, but they seem to include Refresh, which heals characters within three tiles by 20% of their HP each turn heals the user if no allies are nearby, and also a skill I'm guessing is Charisma. The first skill says something about "Double", and looks like it multiplies something by 1.5, but I'm not sure what. The second increases something on level ups. The first one in the second column also mentions "Double" in its description. Counter and Canto also appear to be back.

The skill in the lower right appears to be Defense Cry; if so, it appears Vincent's description is mistaken: it looks to me like it says it has a range of three tiles, and is therefore not terrible. There's also a skill above it that appears to have a one-turn effect on adjacent units only, but it seems to be different.

Looking at the katakana for Defense Cry, Refresh, and some other stuff, it says "3マス", which appears to translate as "3 squares". So yeah. I recognize the kanji for the lower-right skill as containing Defense, so it appears that indeed, Defense Cry is actually functional.

Probably the chance for a dual/double attack with a partner.

Do we know if the <Stat> Cry skills use up a turn or if you can still move/attack afterwards?

Refresh seems very neat.

It's my understanding that "Double" is associated with the command replacing "Rescue", that combines two units to fight together. So my guess is that it impacts the stat bonuses or something else as determined by that.

The Stat Cry skills say "Command" in their description, so presumably the characters can move, but not attack.

So, this Gyanreil was not a fellow wearing a mask, but is seriously the King of Pelegia. He sounds as serious (or dickish) as he looks.

I think Inverse's character design is also entirely revolving around the fact she is boner inducing. Then again, I'm not entirely fluent, I'm just kinda skimming.

[OldMan]

Gyanrel - the dark king who loves conflict
King of Persia Pelesia. Cruel and easily distracted, he enjoys deceiving others.

Inverse - scheming femme fatale
Gyanrel's subordinate. A [acronym=yes guys, that's what the Japanese mean when they say a girl has "style"]well-endowed[/acronym], sensual, beautiful woman. Seducing men and leading them to ruin is her forte.

Tiamo - genius pegasus knight in love
(copy-paste magazine description)
She hides forbidden feelings (well, not necessarily forbidden... but well, "not gonna happen"-style) towards a certain person. Her class is Pegasus Knight.

Dony - generic villager
A villager from Iris. A common young man who likes plowing fields. As he had never gone outside his village, he's interested in many things. His class is Villager.

Anna - travelling merchant full of secrets
(copy-paste magazine description)


"A few learnable skills"

War knowledge - 1.5x exp gain when in Double
Good growths - +20% to all growth rates when leveling up
Mug - Luck % activation, gets a little gold when defeating an enemy
Secluded Lady - +10% avoid/crit avoid to all male allies within 3 squares
Refresh - at the start of the turn, recovers 20% hp if nobody is within a 3 square radious
Astra - Skl/2 activation, 5 attacks at half damage

Defender - All stats +1 when in Double
Counter - Returns damage when damaged by an adjancent enemy
Lightning Speed - act again after defeating an enemy (once per turn)
Pass - User can move through enemy units
Strength +2 - GUESS WHAT
Defense Cry - when choosing the "support" command, all allies within a 3 square range gain +4 def for one turn.

I think Inverse's character design is also entirely revolving around the fact she is boner inducing.

Indeed it is. She induces boners and ruins men. TF is going to be pleased.

Thanks man. Looks like Famitsu messed up the Defence Cry description or was it me?

[OldMan]

Link me to the relevant scan and we'll know

[Othin]

Good growths - +20% to all growth rates when leveling up

I guess it's 20% of the original growth (50% --> 60%, not 70%). Still, wow.

Lightning Speed - act again after defeating an enemy (once per turn)

Holy fuck. Does it sound like they can just use a command or move again entirely?

[OldMan]

20% more chance of growth... yes, probably that. But you see, it sounds more like a convenience, since you can level forever.

"Can move again", literally. And since they say it can only be triggered once per turn, I presume that means it's a full movement/action and not simply like canto.

Remember when I was making the broken checklist? Move stars: check

Well at least Anna's voice wasn't as squeaky as I was expecting (I was expecting something on par with Liz).

And the skills seem interesting. Even if it only adds 20% of the growth on top of the growth, Good Growth still sounds like it will come in handy.

[Velth]

Is a gyanrel a trickster? his clothing looks like Anna's in different colors

[Shun One]

Some interesting skills here. Most of the other info was discussed previously, so not much more for me to say. I figured seduction was Inverse's method of war. Not surprised with her design, if anything, it'd certainly work on several real world men.

[Super Mecha Death Christ]

I just noticed something. Marth's voice actor isn't even trying to hide that she's a woman voicing a guy. Could it be that this Marth imposter is female?

More fuel for that theory, it would seem.

[H-Bastaki]

the bear on her sword is cute :P
was it on her sword?

[Super Mecha Death Christ]

Or maybe it's just bad acting... but I'm hoping it's not. Cause the delivery really sounds like a girl pretending to be a guy kinda thing.

[Othin]

20% more chance of growth... yes, probably that. But you see, it sounds more like a convenience, since you can level forever.

If you're grinding, it's a convenience. If not, it's a huge bonus no matter what.

And looking it over, it just says +20, not +20%, so who knows?

"Can move again", literally. And since they say it can only be triggered once per turn, I presume that means it's a full movement/action and not simply like canto.

Remember when I was making the broken checklist? Move stars: check

Well, I'm sure they'll be able to attack as part of that action. But rather than getting a full second turn, I'm guessing the movement part will be like Canto. Would be kinda absolutely ridiculous for a Paladin to make use of this to move up to 16 squares per turn, or hell even for a foot unit using it to move 12 squares.

Also, Counter sounds kinda crazy. Seems like it has 100% activation, and does full damage to anything attacking at range 1. As long as the higher difficulty levels stand up to their promise of making the enemies tough enough for the skills to matter, this game should turn out spectacular. Of course, hopefully, enemies will be using those same skills themselves, which should serve the purpose just as well.

Or maybe it's just bad acting... but I'm hoping it's not. Cause the delivery really sounds like a girl pretending to be a guy kinda thing.

So then the question is, is the actor a girl pretending to be a guy, or is the character a girl pretending to be a guy? Whichever of the two she is, she's failing quite horribly, so I agree in hoping it's the character.

[StrategistPockystix]

My only gripe with the "pretending to be Marth" thing is that most people in the game don't know who Marth is, or know that Marth should be long dead. . . unless he/she thinks that their Marth, and they are not. . . still a girl pretending to be Marth would be more interesting. We can always use another awesome bifauxnen.

To some extent, the thing is Marth is "The Legendary Hero King" in this game. The question would be why would anyone bother to impersonate him if he's been dead for so long. What would even be the point?

I had a feeling the Gryphon Knights would get something like this
