Unlike yesterday’s livestream, this one was in Japanese, but its contents are no less interesting. We get to see cutscenes including the one in which the hero gets his powers and the encounter with the “lord of the world of wickedness” Sophia.
Gameplay includes negotiation, battle, and the inevitable fusions. Below you can watch all the relevant clips set at the correct timestamps.
