3DS

Earlier this year, Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk was announced for 3DS. Famitsu now confirms that the game will launch in Japan on August 31 for 5,370 yen.

Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk is being developed by the series’ original staff. It’s about a “return to roots” and features familiar systems through which you’ll use simple controls and command selections. The staple “Tobacco System” is back, which is used when you want to put all your hints in order.

Confirmed characters include:

Saburou Jinguuji / Jake Hunter (voiced by Juurouta Kosugi)
Yoko Misono (voiced by Mamiko Noto)
Sanzou Kumano (voiced by Fumihiko Tachiki)
Daigo Kaga (voiced by Seiichirou Yamashita)
Satomi (voiced by Konomi Kohara)

Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk is currently 80 percent complete.

Square Enix updated the Dragon Quest XI website with the latest details and screenshots for its upcoming RPG. Two of the game’s systems are covered: “Zone” and “Link”. We’ve rounded up the latest news below, courtesy of Gematsu.

Zone

– One of the new powers that appears in battle
– State of heightened concentration that temporarily increases your combat ability
– If attacked by an enemy, the protagonist and other party members can enter Zone allowing them to turn a sticky situation into a prime opportunity
– Entering Zone surrounds your body in a blue light and increases your ability
– The effect can carry over to the next battle until it disappears
– Even if you take heavy damage and find yourself in a pinch entering Zone could be your chance for a counterattack
– Zone is even more promising when several party members enter it
– Monsters can also enter zone

Link

– If you enter Zone, you can acquire even further power
– By combining your power with those of your party members, you can unleash powerful Link techniques
– These can become the key to defeating formidable enemies
– Silvia can light up the protagonist’s sword with fire
– Link techniques differ depending on the combination of party members, learned spells and skills, and the number of people that are in Zone
– How you organize your party will directly affect which Link techniques you can unleash
– Monsters can also unleash Link techniques
– Camus and the Protagonist: “Falcon Dance”
– Full Party: “Giga Burst”
– Silvia and Protagonist and Row: “Rose Hurricane”
– Martina and Row: “Matou Enbu”
