Did you know that one of the characters in 7th Dragon III Code: VFD is inspired by Jet Set Radio Future? After a Siliconera reader noticed that the male agent had a Graffiti Soul and “JSRF” t-shirt on, the site confirmed with SEGA that this is a nod to that very game.

Character designer Miwa Shirow is actually a fan of Jet Set Radio Future. With the Agent class, she wanted to create a character that looked like a “street-wise youth,” in particular due to the fact that the class relies on various “conditions aligning in combat.” The male agent’s internal name also goes by the name “Jet.”

It’s also worth mentioning that for one of the buttons on the Agent’s chest, it’s a symbol from Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratori Tangram. This 3D fighting robot title came out for the Dreamcast.

Story of Seasons ended up being XSEED’s fastest-selling game. In an interview with Nintendo World Report, the publisher’s Tom Lipschultz commented on why he believes it sold so well despite no longer carrying the Harvest Moon name.

He said:

“Because Bokujo Monogatari fans know that STORY OF SEASONS is the new name for the series they’ve grown up with, and they’re very dedicated to that series. It could’ve been called anything in English (my suggestion was “Cornutopia,” though that got vetoed pretty quickly!), and fans would still know right off the bat that regardless of what it says on the cover, the game they’re playing is Bokujo Monogatari. With all the good will this series has built up over the years, and the consistent level of quality seen in the games that bear its name, it only stands to reason it would sell well. After all, when you buy a Bokujo Monogatari title, you know exactly what you’re getting, and you know before your system even powers on whether or not you’re going to like it.”

XSEED announced last July that Story of Seasons had sold 100,000 copies. It beat out Rune Factory 4 as the previous record holder as the company’s fastest-selling game.

The first scans of Etrian Odyssey V have emerged from Famitsu. We should have better images tomorrow, but this does provide us with a look at the game. View them below, along with more details.

– Fencer ? Skillfully wield pointed swords
– Dragoon ? Boast of defense as tough as a dragon
– Cestus ? Clear through battles with their tempered fists
– Reaper ? Fell enemies with sickles that bring death
– Necromancer ? Summoners that command the spirits of the dead
– Warlock ? Sages skilled in elemental attacks
– Herbalist ? Masters of healing with herbs
– Shaman ? Use mysterious powers to save their allies
– Masurao ? Warriors that weld four swords
– Hound ? Hunters that command falcons and dogs
– New FOEs – Hyppogriph, Hyppogriph, Momonga, Oumu, some sort of millipede
– New character creation system
– Character creation is race-based
– Choose eye, skin and hair color regardless of your portrait design
– Class and race-specific skills
– Similar to how Common skills were handled in Etrian Odyssey III, skills that are universal for your character’s race are accessed via a separate tab in the Custom menu
– Customize the icon sets that appear on your map menu
– Party members can use team up to use Union Skills
– At least four portrait options per class
– There’s a mute option that spans two buttons
– There isn’t a single race skill; it’s an entire set of racial passives, some tiered, and most of which are single-level skills
– Fencer skill set also seems based around elemental chain and prediction/vision skills
– Summoning also doesn’t seem to use the sixth party slot, as one screen shows two aids in their own separate sections
– Both have HP bars, though no TP
– Aslan skill set includes fishing, analyze, double attack, magic heal, something about full power, and something about earth (ground)
