[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOK_B4BtT40&feature=feedu ]A new PV is up[/url]. Lots and lots of gameplay footage, a battle with Campanella is confirmed, Tio's got her very own 'Eidolon Gear' and Eidos help me, the coolest bit is at the 2:11 mark just after the Workshop Thirteen mecha. Take a look at one of the numbers...

Nice, I just saw it a while ago.
I assume you're referring to 05? After seeing one of the Dominion's ships in an earlier video, I was thinking 05 would make an appearance.

I didn't think he'd be showing up because I'm 99.99% sure that Wazy is a Dominion (and from the video, that he's number 9) and thought that having two of them in the same game would cause such a concentration of awesomeness that it would make your PSP implode. Not that I'm in any way sad to be proven wrong on that point. Actually, between Klose and Olivier returning, two Dominions, Rixia and playable Arios, Tio with orbal powered armor (now there must be a teamup of her and Tita at some point) and Pimp My (Orbal) Ride, this game definitely contains too much awesome for mere words to express. Oh, and lest I forget, lots of happy fun time at Michelam Wonderland and beach volleyball! They could make a spinoff title out of all the minigames in this franchise.

I never thought they'd drop that thread because they did make a big deal out of it, I just didn't think they'd pick it up again quite so soon. Kevin's always been one of the characters likely to return sooner rather than later, though I can't think of anyone who doesn't have a reason to show up again eventually. Well, maybe the Bright family can take a longer vacation than most.
Speaking of the ending of 3rd, I wonder if Schera will be making an appearance in this game? They certainly dropped enough hints in that direction with Olivier.

Next thing we know Estelle's childhood friend Tio will show up too just for the name joke. Plus we should be hearing what's up with Richard's new career and if people have stopped calling him Taisa yet. (Never!!!) Oh and ten bucks says Niall and Dorothy tag along to report on the conference for the Liberl News Service. Seriously if they make a gaiden game after Ao like 3rd they might as well make it a SRPG so we can actually field the whole ridiculous cast. Including Wald. Also Falcom announced the bonus item for people ordering through their online shop and it's Lloyd's dog tag/wolf keychain!! I'm never excited over merchandise but this made me embarassingly happy. There's also a secret mini-soundtrack cover. The sneak peek they posted on Twitter awhile back made me think of Randy so maybe it's him on the cover?

Oh and ten bucks says Niall and Dorothy tag along to report on the conference for the Liberl News Service. Pretty please? About the only thing cooler than seeing those two in Crossbell would be having a cameo from Anelace and Tita so they could meet up with Eolia, Tio and KeA and have a squee-off. Agreed on the Wald bit (if he's not at least a guest at some point in Ao I'll be very surprised) but I think they should save the 'whole cast playable' idea for either the last game in the franchise (when we've got even more awesome heroes to play around with) or if that's too unweildy, the second to last game and just pick the best of the best for the finale. Renne would be a shoe-in of course even if she says she's done fighting. Probably is. It was red which is his color and at that point they hadn't revealed his Berserker so they might have kept it a secret for that reason.

Subbed versions of the OP and Promo trailers are up! The process of working on this makes me want the game even more...
Two minor things that I saw/thought of while working on this. First, a number of Master Quartz show up very quickly during the Promo PV. No new Master Arts though.
Fire: Axe and Chevalier Wind: Pixie, Wing and Kusanagi Time: Crow, Keeper and Criminal Space: Platinum, Mobius and Emblem
Second, I wonder if someone on the staff a Votoms fan. Randy's new weapon (which shares its name with Agate's best sword from FC) is written in such a way as to read Berserga, the same as the titular machine from the Blue Knight Berserga novels and game. It's not the most obvious way to spell Berserker and I've never seen it written that way in any other context so I almost have to assume it's deliberate.

Nice catch on the Master Quartz names, I didn't see them at all!

If you had to rewatch .3 second clips a dozen times to get the subtitle timing to look decent or to see what the hell everyone was saying during that big rush towards the end (especially Olivier), you'd probably have noticed it too. Actually, it's interesting how regular Quartz are all in kanji (or come from the stats) while the Master Quartz are all katakana, even when the name is Japanese. Can't wait to mess around with those things.

Speaking of spotting things, I was just cruising Endless History and saw that picture Falcom yanked from Twitter. I'm pretty sure the 'unrevealed character' on the PSP screen is Sigmund in an S-Craft cutin but the one to the right of Ries... I don't know how or why it could be but I honestly think that's Guy. If you look closely you'll see that the figure is wearing a white jacket with black sleeves and a red shirt underneath it and he's holding... well, I'm not sure what he's holding but he's got two of them. At the end of the OP trailer we get a look at Guy and he's wearing a black and white jacket over a red shirt. *hums Twilight Zone theme*

I'm 99% sure the character on the PSP screen is Sigmund; zooming in makes it pretty clear.
Not as sure with Guy, but judging from the OP trailer, it does seem to be him.

*waiting to spot Ys cameos* Guess I'll have to go through it all! Once released.

*waiting to spot Ys cameos* I don't think there are any Ys cameos, unless you count the fact that the redhead is usually the scariest party member... Floofy: I didn't notice Ries had a redesign! Maybe she's going undercover, since the local bishop hates Kevin's group?

*waiting to spot Ys cameos* I don't think there are any Ys cameos, unless you count the fact that the redhead is usually the scariest party member... Joshua and Renne would like to have a word with you. Agate has that soft side buried deep down. Joshua has something buried deep down too, it's called 'Kill them all without mercy and let Eidos sort it out' and once he gets over that, Renne steps in to take his place. We may love her and she may have the best reasons in the world but even so, she likes using that scythe of hers just a bit too much prior to Zero. Then there's Le Lenandes' ability to one-shot your entire party (or the enemy) in gameplay terms. As for cameos, does Anelace's armor count as one? Also, the slot reels in the casino are all Ys characters. If that happens, I really hope that word hasn't gotten around that one of the Grals Ritter has a female Squire with a rumbly tummy or else Ries will risk giving away the game every mealtime. Actually, Ries going undercover could lead to interesting developments seeing how there's (probably) another Dominion undercover in Crossbell right now.

Yeah, at least one Ys cameo was in ZnK, that being the slot reels in the casino. I wondered if it could be there in AnK too.

I keep forgetting the slot reels exist~ Oops.
I'm imagining a stare standoff between Elie and Ries. "...." "...." "..........."

I still say we need to bring Anelace and Tita in, then stick them in the same room as Eolia, Tio and KeA and watch the ensuring squee-off. Bonus points if this is the requirement to unlock the secret Combo Craft Royal Orbal Heartbreaker.
Actually, there may be more peril to this business of returning characters than we've been willing to recognize before now. This is after all Lloyd we're talking about. Klose and Ries might be in serious danger of falling for our Kouryakuou and unless Schera is there to crack the whip, Olivier will probably try to hit on him. How well do you think Julia and Kevin would react to the former or Elie, Tio, Noel or Rixia to the latter? Maybe Ouroboros isn't Crossbell's biggest problem...
