Another week, another round of Genei Ibun Roku #FE trailers! There are three for this article after the break.

First is the trailer for Toma. Toma is a spirited guy who is also quite genial and laid-back. He’s all-in-all lovable. The World trailer walks you around Japan, passing passers-by and engaging in the occasional conversation. It’s a rather nice touch that characters that you can’t interact with are portrayed as moving colored silhouettes – it adds to the colorful and poppy feel of the game, and conveys just how populated the world is. The trailer takes a sharp change in tone after a minute or so, though, thanks to the Mirages.

Last is a System trailer showcasing a dungeon and some battles. The Dungeons are wrought with the influence of Mirages and are dark reflections of locations within Tokyo. Genei Ibun Roku #FE does not feature random encounters; battles start when you make contact with an enemy in the dungeon. Battles are turn-based and you fight in groups of three (and also have a sub-cast of currently inactive party members.) After the battle is won, players are treated to experience points, skill points (which you can use to acquire skills of your choosing), money, and Performa (used for weapon crafting.)

This week new characters and Mirages were revealed for Genei Ibun Roku #FE, the Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem-inspired Atlus work.

Barry Goodman is a former musician who comes to Japan to learn more about otaku culture. He eventually ends up as the trainer for the protagonists on their music career. Barry is also voiced by Yuichi Nakamura – a prolific voice actor who also voiced Kurt Irving in Valkyria Chronicles 3!

Mamori Minamoto is an elemental school student and a Mirage Master. She belongs to the same entertainment agency as the protagonists. She’s a fan of Showa-era performances and music. Mamori is voiced by Kaori Fukuhara. Draug, from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, accompanies her.

Mirages were also revealed this week for some previously announced characters:

Virion, from Fire Emblem Awakening, accompanies Eleonora Yumizuru.

Tharja, from Fire Emblem Awakening, accompanies Kiria Kurono.
