The most recent issue of Weekly Famitsu introduced more Partner characters for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. Gaston, the new guy wearing lots of white, represents the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado’s Samurai legion (just like many of the characters in the first Shin Megami Tensei IV game.) The young man sporting grey hair and a black and yellow outfit is Hallelujah of Ashura-kai, an organization that had attempted to “coexist” with demons using some very alarming methods. And the purple and black figure with the Japanese demon mask is Toki of the Cult of Gaia. They oppose the Ashura-kai’s philosophy and espouse maximal liberty and “Rule by the Strong.”
This is a great collection of people who probably disagree heavily with each other! Gaston certainly doesn’t seem the type to play nice.
This collection of different personalities might be how one takes advantage of the multiple endings that this game is purported to offer. In any case, we’ll find out more when the game releases in Japan in February. No word on localizations yet.
