At first glance, The Legend of Legacy seems to be an amalgam of things – and it is. Legends are brought together to bring you this title in the form of Final Fantasy XIII composer Masashi Hamauzu, Chrono Trigger writer Masato Kato, SaGa illustrators and designers Tomomi Kobayashi and Kyoji Koizumi, with the inclusion of many other former developers from Square and Level-5. You can feel the influence and inspiration of The Legend of Legacy exude from all of these creators, allowing the game to thrive and revel in it artistically.

Atlus has been saying for awhile now that some improvements were made for the western release for The Legend of Legacy. We’re less than a week away from the game’s arrival in North America, and we finally have information on this front.

Most of the adjustments pertain to New Game+. Here’s the news straight from Atlus’ John Hardin:

• In NG+, all the money and formations you designed now carry over. Any special weapons you created will also be available to purchase in the shop.
• Drop rates for items and materials was increased across the board. Drop rate for rare items goes up in subsequent NG+. FICTITIOUS EXAMPLE TO ILLUSTRATE THIS POINT: The made-up drop rates for a rare item could be in the first 1st Game – 1%, in NG+ 5%, NG++ 8%, NG+++ 10% etc. Let me stress that these numbers are made up and I have no idea what they are for actual items.
• Finally, the time it takes the trade ship to return is decreased substantially. The ship uses real-world time, and we’ve decreased the amount of time it takes to return.

We’ll have a review up for The Legend of Legacy later today!

The latest update on Stella Glow introduces us to the The Knights of Regnant.

First, take a look at the new trailer below:

And here are the latest details:

When you’re just a lowly villager about to be obliterated at the hands of Hilda, Witch of Destruction, and moments before your certain demise you get saved at the last second by the knights of the land, you tend to feel indebted to those knights and do whatever it takes to join their ranks.

Well, that’s what Stella Glow’s protagonist, Alto does at least! And good for him too, since the Regnant Knights’ 9th Regiment are some of the baddest mofos around and fully capable of stopping Hilda and her Harbingers. I mean, look at Archibald. You don’t say stuff like this if you can’t back it up:

Archibald, Klaus, and Rusty make up your fellow squadmates who will help recruit other Witches and stop Hilda. Oh, and don’t forget, they’re also people you can form bonds with during Free Time (bromances, even)!

Stella Glow arrives in North America on November 17.

Siliconera has translated more information about the plot in Shin Megami Tensei IV Final from this week’s issue of Famitsu. We’ve rounded up the details below.

– After the protagonist (Hiro) dies, he wanders around the kingdom of Hades
– This is where he encounters Majin (Demon God) known as “Daguza”
– Hiro reluctantly comes to an agreement with Daguza, who had plans of his own
– “From this day forward, you will be my ‘God Killer.’ Together, we will kill all gods”
– Daguza gives Hiro a new live and the “demon summoning” ability
– This lets him call out demons to his aid
– The protagonist goes back to reality with his newfound power that is more than enough to make it through the fights at the Demon Capital, Tokyo
– Daguza resides inside the protagonist’s smartphone
– During this time, the “Final War” between the Archangel Merkabah and the Demon King Lucifer was nearing its end
– A group of gods called the “Association of Gods” have descended

– The group begins to demand mankind to relinquish their souls

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.
