3DS

Following Famitsu’s reveal earlier this week, Masaya Games has now released official assets for Langrisser 3DS. We have a batch of screenshots and art above, plus character profiles below.

Ares is the main hero, a young bodyguard of the local lord, strong, honest and driven by a solid sense of justice.
Elma is the daughter of the priest of the local temple, she has a very positive and idealistic personality.

Toi is a mysterious tactician who has lost all memories of her childhood. She has unique combat skills and knowledge, but she doesn’t talk very much, nor expresses her emotions easily.

Rosalia is a brave knight of noble birth. She serves as the leader of the knights under the local lord. She has the dignity of a leader, but she can be quite romantic at times.

How about this for a Smash Bros. glitch? Whatever is going on here causes items to become Maxim Tomatos. The items themselves function normally, but their appearance can’t be anything but a tomato.

YouTube user Leron Tolmachev says of the glitch:

This issue is currently occurring on my girlfriend’s 3DS XL. I have tried her copy of Smash Bros. in my 2DS, and it works fine, I’ve tried my copy of Smash Bros. in her 3DS and the issue only occurs on her 3DS XL with the 1.0.4 patch installed. If we uninstall the patch, the issue goes away, but reinstalling the patch causes the issue to return. I’ve factory reset the 3DS XL and formatted the SD card, but the issue persists.

Definitely one of the strangest glitches I’ve seen in a long while!

Siliconera has an article covering a few more details for Bravely Second. It’s now essentially confirmed that Edea is playable (rather than just appearing in the story), and we have more on the Patissier job. Read on below for the latest details.

– Patissier job’s Asterisk Holder in Angelo W. Panettone shown in the latest live stream
– He has a following of crazed girls that say his sweets are “to die for” when asked about them
– Square Enix also showed what the Patissier job looks like during the stream
– Edea was shown in the party, which seems to confirm she’s playable
– Patissier’s abilities focus on making snacks
– This includes the “patisserie” ability that lets you use ingredients you have to make cakes
– Make different cakes like the Poison Cake, Blind Cake, Fire Cake
– Fire Cake can hit enemy weaknesses
– The Patissier has other abilities like ones that help you pick up items, and another one that lets you choose a party member to get attacked more frequently

Dengeki recently held another live stream recording for Bravely Second. Producer Tomoya Asano and shared more on the game’s “Barter Sub-Scenario” system. You can find that information below (thanks Siliconera).

– In the Barter Sub-Scenario, Edea takes on the lead role, where you’ll encounter Asterisk Holders from Bravely Default
– Edea talks to 2 Asterisk Holders and listens to their dispute in each scenario
– Edea then must choose one to side with
– Fight against the Asterisk Holder you don’t side with, and you’ll get their Asterisk, or job
– The one you do choose to side with, you’ll get to see more from their story
– Won’t have to fight them, but you won’t get their job
– Asano doesn’t specify whether we can get their jobs later on in the game
– This is a form of “ultimate decision making”
– The Barter Sub-Scenario will bring back many Asterisk Holders
– Edea’s Japanese voice actress Mai Aizawa says that these are the parts where she has a good amount of voiceover work
– Ex: Thief Asterisk Holder Jackal asks Edea to help him, the man that has been helping out the thirsty
– The Red Mage Asterisk Holder Fiore DeRosa then asks Edea to defeat Jackal, for the sake of the future and mankind
– While it doesn’t show why exactly the two have been arguing, they say that there’s actually quite a lot of story development behind these Barter Sub-Scenarios
– No right/wrong answer for who you should side with
– There will be something nice for those who start the game with Bravely Default save data
– Details on this coming in the near future

Despite having been in a fire though, the 3DS above is still functioning! There are some parts that are broken though – the volume slider is melted closed, and the SD card slot is sealed shut. Everything else is still working believe it or not.

Below are some additional photos of the 3DS system:
