I’m only going to make quick summaries of all the game-relevant information because the first half hour consisted of chatting with the voice actress, M・A・O, who plays Meia a.k.a the Azure Witch.
Check out the exciting details under the cut! 😀 (There’s info about a new playable character and a new system!)
A major announcement was made at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday by the game’s project leader and producer!
Meia will take the place of Wol in Chapter 6!Meia will be the player character for Chapter 6. The chapter is entitled “Recollection of the Witch” (追憶の魔女) and will be released in October.
Gameplay featuring Meia was shown on the live stream. Her regular attacks consist of tossing magic at enemies with her free hand and ending the turn with a slash from her weapon.
You can watch her in action from about 1 hour 10 minutes in: https://youtu.be/Rfb3hYdqwIw?t=1h10m49s (I can’t seem to embed videos that start at a certain time. :/)
The Mobius FF team prepared a special scenerio to show Meia in action for the Tokyo Game Show.
(Wol is in the Moogle job outfit. ^^;)Meia versus UltrosIf you move the time line back about 10 or so minutes, you can catch the Witch’s voice actress, M・A・O, and the project leader, Naoki Hamaguchi, live reading the dialogue. People kept laughing whenever the Hamaguchi finished Wol’s line. ^^
The Decoration system was introduced! You can enter the Decoration menu by tapping on the small necklace icon.
Also highlighted are the 20% Skillseed usage for unlocking custom job skill panels and Meia’s sub job name, Cat-earred Meia. ^^The Decoration menu. Tap on the boxes below to choose head accessories or body decorations.I put a box around the 20% Skillseed discount because I thought it was interesting to point out. I hope they do something like that for regular skill panels too. 😀 While it’s true that stocking up on seeds in the Japanese version isn’t very difficult, I think it’ll be a nice limited time gift for players. ^^
I also hope that decorations will be available for Wol too. XD Check out some of the samples for Meia:
Meia with glasses. 😀
Meia with a pumpkin head. ^^
Meia with butterfly wings
Afterwards, another battle was shown and the job change option was used~!
