In the recent Bravely Second live-stream we learned that Edea will be returning in the upcoming title, Bravely Second.

Now in this week’s issue of Famitsu we see a glimpse of what she will look like as well as some additional details about how she has evolved.

She appears to have grown up slightly as the artwork is showing her as being a little older.

Edea is now the leader of the Imperial Guard Knights, and will now be one of the main characters.

It is unknown at this time if she will be a completely playable character this time, she is said to be returning to “judge” the Asterisk holders from the previous game.

Famitsu also revealed that there will be a new “Barter Sub Scenario System”.

There will be additional information about the Patissier job in next week’s issue.

Bandai Namco is developing a game based on the Kaitou Joker series for 3DS. It’s scheduled for release in Japan sometime this year.

Kaitou Joker: Time Crossing Phantom Thief and the Lost Gem (take that in for a second) features playing cards and the image gun like Joker in the anime to take on enemies. Players will steal treasure by using acrobatic action and solving puzzles. It’s also possible to collect hidden treasure in levels.

This new Kaitou Joker game will be at the World Hobby Fair. Those who stop by Bandai Namco’s booth can obtain two stickers: one for playing the game, and another for solving a riddle.

Today’s Terra Formars: Fierce Battle on the Crimson Planet update introduces us to five new characters. Siliconera translated their bios, which can be found below.

Akari Hizamaru:

Michelle K. Davis:

Michelle is the miracle child, who was born with the powers of the Paraponera, which gives her extraordinary strength and durability. She also has the powers of a Blast Ant to blow up the Terraformars.

Shokichi Komachi:

Shokichi gets his powers from that of the Japanese giant hornet. He fights using his twin stingers with poison in both hands, and he also goes berserk, just like the Japanese hornets that are known for its aggression.

Marcos Eringrad Garcia:

Marcos has the powers of a Huntsman Spider, which gives him power, ferocity, and speed. While he may have it all going for him, his endurance is his weakness, which leaves him vulnerable at times.

Keiji Onizuka:

The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is where Keiji gets his powers from. Similar to Michelle, his strength and durability are his best attributes. He can also regenerate his limbs, so losing an arm or leg against the Terraformars shouldn’t be that big of a deal to him.

You can find several new screenshots and art from the game here.

According to Media Create, gaming software sales in Japan during the end-of-year holiday period came in at 10.854 million units. The sales tracker calculated end-of-year sales based on the seven weeks from November 17th, 2014 to January 4th, 2015.

Software sales in Japan stacked up similarly to the same period the year prior (100.36% of 2013). Youkai Watch 2 (2.447 million units) and Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (2.591 million units) accounted for 45 percent of total Japanese software sales during the end-of-year holiday period.

Wii U software sales were 112.95 percent of 2013. It was the only system aside from the 3DS to experience an increase in software sales.

Overall hardware sales on the Japanese market during the end-of-year season stood at 1.74 million units. Hardware decreased to 83.42 percent of the same period from 2013. The 3DS dipped a bit to 93.96 percent of 2013, which could be because most of its popular software sold to existing 3DS owners rather than new buyers.
