Gematsu writes that Sega recently uploaded a new video for Shining Resonance that details Yuuma Irvan as Kouryuu Irvan, the dragon. A central part of the story of Shining Resonance and Irvan’s character is that Irvan has a human form (Yuuma), but naturally exists as a dragon created without artificial assistance: a rarity for his time.
It turns out that players can quite easily switch between Irvan’s dragon and human forms without inconvenience as long as Irvan has MP; it is possible there is otherwise no cap on the number of transformations. By default, battles begin with Irvan in his human form, but by controlling him and pressing both the L1 and R1 buttons, players can activate the dragon form Kouryuu Irvan. Irvan’s MP will steadily decrease but your AP (Action Points, a numerical cap on individual actions) will not change. Another bonus of activating Yuuma Irvan’s dragon form is that your party’s MP consumption is cut down by a certain proportion.
If Kouryuu Irvan’s MP drops to zero, then the much talked-about and dreaded berserk state results. During Kouryuu’s berserk mode, he is uncontrollable and attacks indiscriminately, sometimes affecting party members. While apparently Kirika can revert a berserk Kouryuu Irvan to his human form, it might be worth sparing the trouble and pressing L1 and R1 before your enemies can capitalize on your moment of weakness.
