Information on Monk, and Divine contracting (Shushin and Baishin)
Monk stuff seems like what's describe earlier in post #67
I think this was in the Famitsu magazine, and AC translated it but:
Mikurio and Edna form a contract with Lyla; Lyla becomes the Chief God, Shushin, and the other two are Accompanying Gods, Baishin. Currently, such contracts are rare, but in the ancient past, there was a Divine who contracted hundreds of Accompanying Gods, an existence that would surely be called a "God". (FINAL BOSS?!?)
Ladylake and Damnonia Art Gallery
Ladylake
Built above a lake, Ladylake is the capital of the Kingdom of Highland.
The water comes from the Lakepillow Plateaus, down a long river, with a gigantic water wheel for industrial purposes, or a beautifully sculpted fountain, among many other uses, Ladylake is also known as the [Water Capital].
The Temple of the Lady of the Lake, where its legend, and the Holy Sword rests here, along with many other things relating to the Monk and its traditions.
While its beauty is regarded and praised as first class on the continent, the past few years has shown an obvious decline in public safety and morals. An ominous atmosphere hangs over the city, eroding its borders.
Alisha feels the sense of danger from these abnormal changes and sets off to find a way to avert the path from reaching the age of disaster.
Damnonia Art Gallery
An art gallery in the Scholar Town of Marind.
While it possessed the foremost collection in the continent, much of it was lost through the confusion of the "Age of Disaster".
In the aftermath, criminal activities occurred, not just in the town but throughout the country, making not just retrieving the artwork, but even confirming its existence difficult.
The Gallery became derelict, barren of patrons. The remaining art sits silent, gazing into the darkness...

I didn't take that many since the quality was extremely bad, and I waited for important stills.

New Character (Villain):
![[Image: 13f6170348.png]](http://puu.sh/98LnD/13f6170348.png)
Name: Zabida (ザビーダ
Character Design: Iwamoto Minoru
Voice Actor: Tsuda Kenjirou
「憑魔は地獄へ連れてってやるのが俺の流儀さ」
"Taking Demons all the way down to hell is my style"
Described as a sexy and wild look, he appears to be the main villain. Armed with a pistol, with which he shoots himself in the head in PV3 (TOKISAKI KURUMI STYLE?), he hates Slay and whatever it is he is trying to achieve. It is implied that he is killing dragons.
Battle System:
The PV3 showcases it a small bit, but a separate segment was shown, describing the new system.
「神依」 (Kamui, lit. Divine Reliance)
A system that allows Humans and Divine to fight as one during battle. From what was showcased, the effect can be used frequently in battle. The two characters will fuse, creating a new appearance and additional attributes.

![[Image: afbfbcf61e.png]](http://puu.sh/98Lth/afbfbcf61e.png)
Slay and Lyla are shown performing Kamui in the PV and demonstration. In this form, Slay's attacks show a large amount of fire. He also gains a very large sword with extremely long range.
It was stated that the system is similar to Style Shift from Tales of Graces. To me, it appears to be a mix of that and Link Artes from Xillia. While it shifts styles, it also has extremely limited duration or action, and requires two characters. I would expect Alisha to be able to perform Kamui as well, since it uses the paired character UI at the bottom of the screen, which I speculated about last week.
Artes (Will add more when someone collects more names from the video, or the official version is released next week):
Slay
虎牙破斬 (Kogahazan, lit. Tiger Rending Slash, Tiger Blade)
旋狼牙 (Senrouga, lit. Revolving Wolf Fang, Asbel's Wolfwind Fang)
爆炎剣 (Bakuenken, lit. Explosive Flame Sword)
地竜連牙斬 (Chiryuu Rengazan, lit. Earth Dragon Combo Fang Slash)
水零刺 (Suireishi?, lit. Water Zero Pierce)
氷月翔閃 (Hyougetsushousen?, lit. Ice Moon Soaring Flash)
Lyla
フォトンブレイズ (Photon Blaze, Malik's Photon Burst)
トルネードファイア (Tornado Fire)
秘奥義：焔舞煉撃波 (Hiougi: Enbu Rengekiha, lit. Flame Dance Smelting Attack Wave, Mystic Arte)
Edna:
曇天 (?, lit. Cloudy Weather)
フリーズランサー (Freeze Lancer)
Chat System (Skits):
The new chat system will involve more expressions and a larger depiction of their body rather than just their faces. The cut-ins will also be more detailed.

The showcased skit involved Alisha and Mikurio discussing about how to make ice cream or some other frozen treat. Alisha hnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
Other:
Theme Song will be performed by Superfly.
There will be a TV Special broadcast before the release of the game, animation by ufotable again.
