New Scan - 10/30/08

[Percival]

Possible spoilers ahead

New scan here (Poor quality heavily compressed jpeg)

• A Behaded Cast? I wonder if decapitation is lethal for a cast.
• A boss. (Squid Thing)
• Better view of a story line character first seen in the trailer. He looks like an Antagonist to me. Isn't that a stag cutlery in his hands? He could be a Hume or a NEwman. No way to tell because of his headgear. (Might be intentional) If he turns out to be a newman, he could be related to Sarisa. Edit: Evila noticed that his uniform is almost identical to a HUnewm uniform. Good catch. I'm almost positive he is HUnewn now.

Most of what is seen on this scan was seen in the official trailer.

The Mysterious Guy(?) :

I can see why Evila thought the character was a lady.
Note: Gonzo is not the character's name, it's part of the credits that are rolling over the video.

The Boss:


And it looks like we've also seen that Cast head in the trailer… still attached to its body. In-game decapitation!



Japanese readers, help us squeeze the juicy details out of this scan.

New boss name is Octodiabo. The storyline char's name can be romanized as "Reeve"... which is a bit awkward.

Raevae? Rayvae? Reyvei? <_<

Edit: I believe the box under Octodiabo is just saying stuff we already know about character creation.

Edit 2: I also believe that above Octo is something regarding story mode, and that the Cast's head has something to do with Octo.

[Evila]

Haha what. When I saw that character back in the first trailer, I assumed it was a girl. Now I'm confused... D: Thanks for the new scan.

I love the look of the Cast's head. The crest on the head gives it a Roman Optio Legionary look.

I want one for my cast character.

Edit: Reeve sounds decent for a name, although, it normally is a surname.

Haw, that little note you posted about a possible relation to Salisa made me take a closer look at his character design. It looks like he's a HUnewm. Why he's hiding his ears, I don't know. Check it out.

How did I miss that. You're right, the uniforms are almost identical.

I took him as a guy from the first time I saw him. Characters looking like that in anime and manga are almost always guys, often villains. I'd say he's some important HUnewm villain.

Or a villain who turns good and helps the heroes (but inevitably dies in the end).

[Saphion]

Who do we reckon is inevitably going to get possessed by Falz then?

That'd make sense too.
