Atlus has released the next character trailer for Persona 4: Dancing All Night, introducing the “Detective Prince” herself, Naoto Shirogane. During the events of Persona 4, she was employed by the police in Inaba to investigate the chain of murders. She then joined Yu’s investigation team and helped find the culprit.
Atlus has issued a press release to announce that they will be making edits to four particular images in their upcoming PS Vita RPG, Dungeon Travelers 2, in order for the game to receive an M-rating. You can read the press release here:
Gematsu has posted a summary of an interview from Dengeki PlayStation between Compile Heart’s Shingo Onodera and Sega’s Masahiro Nakayama. The two reveal that the game will feature a new protagonist named Hatsumi Sega, illustrated by Tsunako (the lead character designer for the Hyperdimension Neptunia games). We also learn that the game will be an RPG, although with gameplay very different from the other Neptunia games, where the Neptunia and Sega Hard Girls will be fighting against each other. Felistella, known for the Neptunia Re;Birth games, are currently developing the game. You can find more details in Gematsu’s article.
If things weren’t crazy enough before in the Persona 4: Dancing All Night trailers we’ve seen before, they certainly are now in this new trailer. The trailer starts out rather creepy as we’re once again introduced to the disappearances surrounding the Midnight Channel (we also get to see Kanami in her non-idol outfit here). Soon afterwards though, the mood becomes more upbeat when the members of Yu’s Investigation Team make their appearance, along with Kanami and Nanako. While we’ve seen all the characters before, what hasn’t been shown in previous trailers is Yu summoning his Persona. Not only that, but it appears the Persona’s themselves will be playing instruments in the game. Yes, that’s indeed Izanagi you see playing guitar there.
Atlus announced the localization of Dungeon Travelers 2 for Playstation Vita, scheduled for release sometime this summer in North America, while NIS America will be bringing the game overseas to Europe this Fall. This is the third time Atlus have picked up an Aquaplus game, prior titles being Aquapazza and Tears to Tiara 2 on PS3. As the name suggests, Dungeon Travelers 2 is a dungeon crawler and a fantasy spinoff of the ToHeart2 visual novel series.
Sega has released another batch of DLC for Project DIVA F 2nd today, and at the same time announced the rest of the DLC scheduled to be released later this month. Starting today in the US, the new Rhythm Game Songs “When First Love Ends” by ryo and “Marginal” by OSTER project are available for download for the price of $2.99. Two new costume modules have also been made available: “Powder” designed by Ichikai Hano and “Ha2une Miku” (both available individually for $1.99). If you already own the Costume Club and Song Club Season Passes, these are of course available for download at no extra cost. The DLC also seems to be available for the EU, though at the time of writing the Ha2une Miku DLC appears to be missing. UPDATE: downloading Marginal for the PS3 also doesn’t appear to be working at the moment, as the PS3 states the content can’t be downloaded.
On April 22nd, Phantasy Star Online 2 will be getting several new updates. These include a new Ultimate Quest as well as new weapons, skills, Photon Arts, balance tweaks and various changes to the interface and team formation system. Sega has posted a video detailing the changes, which you can watch below. If you’re looking for more information on the update, PSUBlog has posted a comprehensive list with all the details.
It’s time for another character trailer for Persona 4: Dancing All Night, this time featuring Yukiko Amagi. In Persona 4 she’s one of Yu Narukami‘s classmates and also Chie Satonaka‘s best friend. Her family runs a local hot springs called the Amagi Inn. In Persona 4, we learn that everyone expects Yukiko to inherit the inn, but she secretly had doubts about becoming the inn’s next manager. We also learn that she’s a terrible cook, something which is alluded to at the very end of her character trailer.
Another character trailer has been released for Persona 4: Dancing All Night, this time featuring Kanji. Those who played Persona 4 know Kanji is a more complex character than you might initially expect him to be. While he acts though, it’s mostly just a facade, and he eventually becomes good friends with the other main characters of Persona 4. Like the rest of the team, Kanji is now making a return in Persona 4: Dancing All Night, once again determined to help his friends. You can view his character trailer below. The first video is the original Japanese trailer. The second trailer is an English subtitled version of the same trailer, provided by Youtube user bobrossfreak.
