Nintendo UK has released a new story trailer for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, giving people a glimpse of the game’s storyline. 5 years prior to the start of the game, a mysterious event at an opera house caused a mass disappearance of 1,000 people. The only one remaining was a 13 year old girl, named Tsubasa Oribe. She’s one of the main characters in the game, and as the story unfolds, she’ll find out what exactly happened back then. You can take a look at the trailer below!
In the latest round of answers to #AskSEGA questions on today’s episode of SEGA Central, SEGA Europe community manager Dan Sheridan answered a question from a fan asking if they’re planning on releasing Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X in Europe:
We’ve heard feedback from Miku fans since the announcement in America and we are looking into how we can bring Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X to Europe. Stay tuned for updates.
While not a confirmation that the game is coming to Europe, this at least seems a bit more encouraging than their comment on 7th Dragon III: Code VFD. Hopefully, those updates will come soon. With the game releasing on the PlayStation 4 in North America only a few days after its launch in Japan, it would certainly be a shame to see this game released much later (or not at all) in Europe.
The Youtube Channel Chronicles, which focuses on covering the complete history of popular franchises in all of media, has recently completed their documentary video of the Sakura Wars series, aptly called Sakura Wars The Documentary. The video is a combination of smaller videos published earlier, and the end results offers a very comprehensive look at all the Sakura Wars games and media that have been released since the debut of the original Sakura Wars on the Sega Saturn in Japan.
The documentary does a good job of explaining just how important the Sakura Wars franchise actually was for SEGA in Japan. Sadly, it also details how the franchise’s decline in sales ended up seemingly sealing its fate. While the documentary offers a rather bleak outlook for the future of the franchise, I’d like to stay optimistic and think that SEGA isn’t going to let the 20th anniversary this year go by with just a few crossover events to mark the occasion. With that said, I can only encourage SEGA fans to take a look at the video, illustrating the rise and fall one of SEGA’s most iconic franchises. You can view it here:
Hatsune Miku will be getting her very own symphony, as Warner Music Japan, in cooperation with Crypton Future Media, the SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project and Promax, will be organizing a symphonic concert featuring the virtual idol on August 26. The concert will be performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, at the Tokyo International Forum Hall A in Chiyoda Ward (Tokyo). Aside from the instrumental performance from the orchestra, Hatsune Miku will also be singing, which is probably where SEGA is involved. The illustration of Hatsune Miku for the event was done by KEI.
Earlier on we posted the prologue video for the Sakura Wars X Granblue Fantasy crossover event. At the end of the prologue, the five characters from Sakura Wars (Ogami, Sakura, Shinjiro, Gemini and Erica) were thrown into the world of Granblue Fantasy. The video posted below shows Sakura’s Event, and details how she and Ogami end up joining forces with the heroes from Granblue Fantasy. We also added the prologue video from our previous article.
Stay tuned for more Sakura Wars X Granblue Fantasy videos, next time we’ll be posting Gemini’s Event!
The Sakura Wars X Granblue Fantasy crossover event has ended, but we’ve recorded the story parts of the event, and are in the process of uploading them to our Youtube channel. The videos feature official English subtitles, as the Japanese version of Granblue Fantasy actually has the option to change the game’s language to English.
The SEGA feat. Hatsune Miku Project website has been updated with the news that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD will be getting two new songs as DLC when the game’s PS4 version is released. The first song is “Sharing The World” by BIGHEAD, which was also the theme song for the Hatsune Miku Expo 2014. The second song is “Hand in Hand” by livetune, which was the theme songs for Hatsune Miku Expo 2015. You can view two screenshots of the songs in the PS4 version below.
SEGA of Japan have released more info on the upcoming PlayStation 4 version of Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone, this time detailing some of the additional modes that will be unlocked when you buy DLC packages.

Buying either of these will also unlock additional modes, read on for more details!
Atlus U.S.A. has announced that the PS4 demo for Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is now available on the US PSN. The PlayStation Vita version for the game is scheduled to be released later, on May 31, due to unforeseen circumstances. However, there doesn’t seem to be any mention of a PS3 demo. The demo allows you to play all of the five protagonists (Gwendolyn, Cornelius, Mercedes, Velvet and Oswald).
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita in North America on June 7. In Europe, the game will be released on June 24, and will also be the last Atlus game published by NISA Europe.
