By triggering the Voltage Meter in Live Concert Mode fans will request various actions to be performed in battle to keep the concert going longer. It is also worth noting that players can cause what is called a “Field Break” on the enemy’s Magnetic Field allowing the player to perform extra attacks and deal extra damage to enemies allowing for easier Overkills. Depending on how many requests are fulfilled, overkills are performed, and various other tasks players will receive various bonuses at the end of combat including EXP bonuses.

Compile Heart first announced Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force for the PlayStation 4 last September but since the company announced the title, we have seen nothing about the game. Well that changed this week when not only did Compile Heart release a teaser trailer, but this week’s issue of Famitsu reveals some early details about the game.

According to early scans (courtesy of Gematsu), Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force is more of an expansion of the original game that diverges from the main storyline at the original game’s “Goddess Chapter” into new “Devil” and “Evil God” chapters that contain different characters depending on which one you choose and also turns Marianna into an ally.
