6 PM, as in Japan time.

Also, any word on a backup stream yet? The event doesn't allow time-shifting and likelyhood all non-premium users will be kicked out as usual.

AC's Rich will be restreaming it

So, Slay can kind of merge with Lyla? Pretty cool imo. I wonder if he can do that with the others as well. Also, is that shirtless dude a new party member?

Zavid??(ザビーダ)

A wind divine?

Elemental Hero Slay confirmed.

And woot, I like the concept of changing forms mid combo.

Most Shounen Tales?

aUUUUUGHHH I can't believe I missed the stream! I didn't realize the Festival was happening today until I saw my Tumblr Dash get spammed with someone's live comments and by the time I got to the stream site it was too late.

Here's the PVs from the show

[breathing intensifies]

Hopefully we still get more non-divine characters. It's going to suck if they use the "Slay (and probably Alicia) can transform into 4 forms, so effectively you got 6 + 8 characters!" card.

Also, did the new character just pile driver an airborne Dullahan?

I think "Zavid" has a problem with his crotch. This sounds weird but it looks so small?

I don't think there will be any more playable characters unless they pull offl light and dark elements and even so they can pretty much be villain or NPC's.

Also why Miklio is holding a bow in some cut scenes?

I think so! I'd really love playing as an archer again.

PERSONA!!


Edit: Wait, the fusion stuff is called "Kamui"? Aw, Sam Riegel as Slay would've been a bearfect dub reference to Teddie.

And omg Slay is so kawaii

Divine Synchronization! Kamui Lyla!

It better be hype as heck then.

I love the hype moments of KLK, even though they're shounen as heck.

Anyone posted this yet?

So is this the Zestiria version of Direct-tethering? Slay confirmed for gigolo :3

Creepy. Anyway, break out those Polymerization cards.

I srs don't know how to react to Slayra. D:

My Hype level is over 9000!!!!

Just look at it as a "child (maker)" and ignore that it is a fusion. Or is that creepy? XD

I wonder how the skits about that will end up.

Is it me or will the sex of slay stay the same no matter with who he will do the kamui thing?

It's the same obv since the "fusion" is the Divine sharing their powers with the contractant. The main issue there will be how this will be handled on multiplayer and how limited it will be.

Also if we can change partner mid combo without entering menus.

If Xillia is any indication, I think player 2 will just get screwed.

That's what I thought too, I'm also disliking the HUD and the combo counter(it looks so simple).

I wanted Namco to focus more on battle system with the new PVs, they never do it... :/

Getting some major flashbacks to Breath of Fire II and it's fusion system though...
