A few more details about Shin Megami Tensei IV Final have surfaced via Famitsu’s coverage.
In the game, Atlus is including a new partner system. This allows players to choose a character among a group of allies to support them in combat.
The different partners will come with their own skills. Asahi specializes in recovery whereas Navarre focuses on using attack items and support magic, for instance.
During each turn in a fight, partners assist the protagonist. Partners also become more powerful as they fight alongside the protagonist. As an example, as Asahi levels up, she will learn new healing abilities like being able to heal status ailments.
A new Earthworm Jim game made by the original team “almost happened”. So says Nick Bruty, the main designer of the first game.
Bruty shared in a Reddit AMA yesterday that the possibility of making a new Earthworm Jim title was explored roughly five years ago. However, a deal with the IP owners couldn’t be agreed upon.
Bruty wrote:
“A new EWJ game with the original team almost happened about five years ago, but a deal with the [intellectual property] owners couldn’t get worked out. I think everyone would be up for it sometime. Feels like unfinished business, but [it’s] hard to align everyone. I wouldn’t do it without the key players.”
Bruty also commented on a few other Earthworm Jim topics that we’ve rounded up below.
