Omega Quintet is set to be released in Japan next week and it looks like Compile Heart wants to make sure that potential buyers have a bit more knowledge about some of the game’s idols before the RPG launches. They have recently released trailers focusing on Otoha and Kyouka, two of the game’s five idols.

Otoha is a positive but clumsy girl who tries her best while Kyouka is more of a serious girl with a stubborn and commanding attitude. Check out the trailers below and let us hope that this PS4 title eventually makes its way West, outside of importation of course.
