Famitsu has more coverage of Shin Megami Tensei IV Final this week. In the latest issue, we get a look at three more characters from different factions that will be partner characters. The image above has a first look at “Hallelujah” from the Ashura-kai, “Toki” from Ring of Gaea, and “Gaston” who is a Samurai.

Get a closer look at the three characters in the video below.

We also have these details from the videos:

– Gaston is the one in white
– He is actually Navarre’s younger brother
– Hallelujah (in the yellow jacket) points out that his personality and the way he talks is exactly the same
– Gaston doesn’t take too kindly to those remarks, and denies that he ever had a brother
– He says “no such blood runs in his veins”
– Gaston is shown not trusting Toki, who says that she has the same objective as the others, and has no intention of going against them as an enemy
