AtlusUSA recently uploaded a new trailer showcasing another portion of the cast. Remember that these characters may or may not be your enemies during your playthrough, as one of the cast members will be covertly trying to sabotage your mission. The members of S.E.A.L.E.D., the task force designed to save the world from a demented terrorist known as “The End,” are all psychics whose gifts manifest in what can be basically described as superpowers.
The three characters shown off in the trailer are Sojiro, Zenji, and Himeno. Sojiro is knowledgeable in medicine and can heal or revive teammates. HIs personality is clinical and observant, seeming to have a quizzical outlook to The End’s gambit. Zenji is hot-blooded and resents The End’s mindgames. Uniquely, his specialty lies in his ability to copy the techniques of a nearby teammate – a highly flexible asset, but also situational. Himeno is a bit sullen and sarcastic, but also apparently isn’t intimidated by The End’s tricks, possessing a steely mind. She is a pyrokinetic, but according to Atlus can also manipulate ice too – making her a manipulator of water and energy who can rapidly alter temperatures. The duality of her personality reflects her psychic abilities.
The game is actually coming out on July 28th – fairly soon for North Americans! European gamers should expect a release sometime during the summer, though NISA Europe hasn’t given an exact release date just yet. Be sure to watch the trailer so you can get a taste of the voice acting – continue reading to check it out.
