Capcom has provided new details for its free-to-play Japan game, Megami Meguri. These showcase important characters, the Seven Pillar Goddesses, as well as the exams that main character Tsukomo must take to become a full-fledged goddess. Gematsu has provided a wealth of details, but here are some of the more key details, starting with the Seven Pillar Goddesses:

-Ame no Uzume, the goddess of performance and leader of the goddesses, she is calm and intelligent and is known for dances
-Sotorihime, the goddess of song, who showcases her power as a rock star
-Kukurihime, the goddess of binding, is known for trimming and grooming, taking care of the goddesses’ guardian dogs
-Konohana Sakuyahime, the goddess of flower, acts like an idol, seeking and adoring fans
-Toyota Mahime, the goddess of cooking, suffers from stage fright and is often closed off
-Ishikoridome, the goddess of manufacturing, is a builder who can be very aggressive and strong
-Ame no Sagume, the goddess of fortune telling, she actually has a rational personality that doesn’t see fortune-telling as the answer to everything

To become a goddess, Tsukomo must undergo Divinity Exams, where she will need to exhibit certain abilities: will-power, strength, wisdom, kindness, and beauty. To take a Divinity Exam, players must first find offerings at certain station squares, and then go to specific stops for the exams. Completing these exams will progress the story. Completing the exams will also unlock new outfits for Tsukomo, based on the seven goddesses.

For more details, check out the full run-down at Gematsu. You can also see screenshots of the features and watch a new, short trailer below:

Ahead of its release on October 8th, Capcom shared some more details about Monster Hunter Stories via 4Gamer.

The new Homing feature makes it easier for you to get the specific kind of monster egg you want. After you defeat a monster in battle, the location of its nest is then marked on your map, allowing you to go there and nab its egg. Thanks to the Homing feature, the egg that you get will always be the same as the kind of monster you fought. Not only that, but the monster will always be sleeping when you approach its nest that way, which makes getting eggs way easier. However, Homing doesn’t always happen – you need to fulfill certain conditions in combat to trigger this feature, which vary from monster to monster. That said, there is an item called a Paint Ball that will increase the chances of Homing activating if you use it during battle and defeat the monster in 3 turns.

Speaking of battle, there are some special events that can happen during combat when similar types of monsters face off. When two flying monsters face off, they sometimes take to the air and you have to press the L and R buttons to control your monster. Similarly, if two monsters meet on the ground, you have to mash the A button to overpower the opposing monster. Finally, when two monsters both use their breath attacks, you have to move the Circle Pad in a circular motion to prevail against your opponent.

4Gamer also published some new screenshots. Check them out:
