Atlus has concluded their stream for Shin Megami Tensei IV Final, and with it comes the arrival of its first promotional video. We have a little more details on this game. There is a conflict between monotheism and polytheism woven into the story. The course of the plot follows one central progression (not necessarily adhering to the standard law-chaos-neutral trifecta,) but still allows for multiple endings. The protagonist is completely …read more
The Rune-Knight trailer has been released for 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, closing out all eight character classes. Those familiar with “magic knight” types should be able to wrap their minds around the concept of the Rune-Knight; their melee weapons are used as conduits for a variety of powerful elemental attacks as opposed to the traditional incantations or staves of most mages. The balancing of magic and physical strength is …read more

Initial impressions of the character from players and careful study of the game seem to suggest that he’s quite strong relative to the other playable cast members. As it is, he can be revived once his health …read more
