Our latest look at Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE shows off two of the game’s musical performances. We have videos for carnation” and “Feel” below.

One additional video can be found after the break showing Tiki’s side quesgt.

Citizens of Earth is no longer available on the 3DS eShop, and if you’ve been keeping up with recent news, you probably know why. A homebrew vulnerability was discovered within the game just a few days ago. Nintendo was expected to follow up on that, and they certainly have.

It’s unclear if/when Citizens of Earth will reappear. The exploit will definitely need to be addressed before it returns. The situation is a bit awkward, as Citizens of Earth was just included in the Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle. Redeeming codes from the bundle do still seem to work (currently), so you only can’t purchase the game directly from the eShop.

Thanks to biki4 for the tip.

This week’s issue of Famitsu once again has a sizable update on Etrian Odyssey V. The magazine goes over character creation, job change, facilities, and Master Skills. We’ve summarized all of the information below.

Character Creation

With this game’s character creation features, first you choose the desired race, then their job and looks. You can customize the hair, eye and skin colors. The ‘jobless’ race illustrations can also be used for the character’s looks.

Nintendo has provided concrete information about its DLC plans for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE in the west. At launch, players will be able to grab additional five packs for the game.

They are as follows:

Costume Set: Get new costumes for Itsuki, Tsubasa, Touma and Kiria.
Tokyo Millennium Collection: Participate in a fashion show and get extra outfits for Tsubasa, Kiria and Eleonora.
EXPeditious Hunter: Battle through a dungeon filled with enemies that yield experience.
Masterful Hunter: Gain materials used to level up weapons by fighting enemies in this dungeon.
Savage Hunter: Defeat difficult enemies in this dungeon to earn rare items.

Nintendo also said today that the EXPeditious Hunter, Masterful Hunter and Savage Hunter DLC can be purchased together for a reduced price in the Hunter Support Quest Pack.

All DLC that released in Japan is here – with one exception. At least for now, it doesn’t appear that the Hot Springs add-on content will be offered outside of Japan. This was comprised of extra swimsuits and programs that could be viewed on a television featuring the characters in the new costumes.

The homebrew community has found that Citizens of Earth has a homebrew vulnerability on 3DS.

Something similar happened just recently. It was discovered that a homebrew exploit exists within VVVVVV, prompting its removal from the 3DS eShop. Citizens of Earth may end up with a similar fate.
