Square Enix has released a couple of new English trailers for Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness and these two videos focus on introducing the Kingdoms of Resulia and Langdauq on Planet Faykreed as well as providing an overview for each of the kingdoms:

Kingdom of Resulia

Resulia is a vibrant kingdom that represents everything great about the Vestielian continent. Recently, however, it has been wracked by threats, including cursed beasts and a fiendish group of bandits named Eitalon. This upheaval plaguing Resulia is one reason Fidel and his companions embark on their journey; they wish to restore balance to this once productive and safe nation.

Kingdom of Langdauq

Langdauq has prospered under the rule of its matriarchs, or Venerable Mothers, the current of which is Malvenaec. Not only is she a fair leader, but she also knows how to sling a spell or two, and as a member of the ruling family, she has access to exclusive signets that are passed down from generation to generation via a sacred rite of passage. Thanks in part to this system, the nation has developed into a signeturgical power. Though Langdauq could easily abuse its proficiency in the signeturgical arts for political gain, it instead has forged an alliance with Resulia to provide it with military aid.

MegaTagmension-Blanc-screenshot- (7)

Idea Factory International has announced that they plan on bringing MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies to the PS Vita in Europe on May 13th. This news comes after the game was delayed from its original release date in North America to May 10th and left the European release of the game in an undetermined state.

For those who have been following the game, MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies is similar to Hyperdimension Neptunia U and features action based combat as the girls from the Neptunia series fight against hordes of undead at the Gamiacademi after the filming of a zombie movie goes awry.

More Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter Characters Revealed

Divine-Prison-Tower-Mary-Skelter-screenshot-(19)

Compile Heart has updated the official website for Divine Prison Tower: Mary Skelter and with it comes a few new details for the upcoming PS Vita dungeon crawler. Three new characters have been revealed and their names all reference various famous fairy tale heroines. The first girl is named Thumbelina and is the eldest of the three sisters that are part of the Chishiki Girls Squad. Being strict she often scolds Jack and has a hard time praising him.

Snow White is the middle of the three sisters in the group and she is kind and gentle to those she comes across, including Jack who she often tries to help out despite her clumsy nature. Finally the youngest of the three sisters is Sleeping Beauty. She often behaves oddly and due to her aimless nature she often acts strangely towards Jack and considering she rarely ever speaks, she is something of a mystery.

Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse Announced for Summer Release in North America

Shin-Megami-Tensei-IV-Apocalypse-screenshot- (1)

Atlus USA has announced that they will be bringing Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final over to North America under the name Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse sometime this summer. When the game launches for the 3DS, it will sell for $49.99 US / $64.99 CA. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse shifts the focus away from the Samurai of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado and onto the remaining humans in the ruins of Tokyo.

The protagonist is a Hunter cadet who meets an untimely end at the very beginning of the game, but thanks to the machinations of the god Dagda, he returns to live under Dagda’s servitude. From there, the protagonist becomes the pawn in a much larger plot that skirts the boundaries of peace and anarchy.

‘Skip Beat!’ Kickstarter Project Ends Successfully

Pied Piper, Inc’s official Kickstarter project to raise enough money to release the Skip Beat! anime in North America has ended in success. It was fully funded three days before the campaign ended. Pied Piper initially launched the crowd-funding project on Indiegogo, but then relaunched it on Kickstarter one month ago. They received $224,546 USD in pledges, which will cover a DVD and Blu-ray release of the series. The goal for a Blu-ray release was $185,000 USD. The minimum goal for the Kickstarter project was $155,000 USD.

Pied Piper has been gradually revealing the English dub cast. The cast list is as follows (character/actor):

  • Kyoko Mogami – Caitlin Glass
  • Kanae Kotonami – Erica Lindbek
  • Sho Fuwa – Grant George
  • Ren Tsuruga – Robbie Daymond
  • Maria Takarada – Mela Lee

  • Yuusei Ishibashi – Bryce Papenbrook
  • Shinichi Ishibashi – Todd Haberkorn

TV Tokyo required Pied Piper to produce an English dub for the North American and Canadian release. All 25 episodes will be dubbed for this release.

Dragon Ball Fusions First Trailer Released

Dragon-Ball-Fusions-Trailer-Screenshot-01

After a few magazine scans have revealed a decent amount of information on the new 3DS title Dragon Ball Fusions, we finally have our first footage of the game which reveals some very interesting aspects such as being able to free roam around the Dragon Ball World, the inclusion of cutscenes in the story mode and what the game will look like in action.

Dragon-Ball-Fusions-Trailer-Screenshot-02

The combat system is still a mystery with nothing being shown on that front (although it will look like it may involve strong RPG elements as opposed to being in real time like a traditional fighter), but we do know you will be able to recruit characters from all over the Dragon Ball world (including the afterlife) and timeline to fight in new battles alongside your custom created hero character.

Dragon-Ball-Fusions-Trailer-Screenshot-05

Being able to free roam in a Dragon Ball game is a pretty rare experience with most titles limited to simply fighting, so with that element and the exciting possibilities created by being able to fuse nearly any character together there is definitely a lot to be excited about here. Hopefully an International release is announced at some point but there is still no official word on that possibility. Check out the trailer for yourself below and let us know what you think in the comments below.
