Translations for the new stuff:

Spoiler for Tenebrae:

"Marta-sama was searching for you. Because you were her savior. You were chosen as a knight."

One of the Centurion that serve the spirit Ratatosk.
An existence that uses dark attribute.
Appears before Emil and presses him with the contract of "Knight of Ratatosk".
Normally, Centurions have the duty to unify apparitions and fate, and by doing so with their subordinates, preserves the order of the world.
But currently, they are losing the apparitions that would be their servants and are basically powerless.
It (Tenebrae) is following apparitions with the dark attribute and is regaining it's power.
It's personality is cool, collected, and far too serious.
But surprisingly, it also has a side that likes jokes, talks too much, and extremely human-like.
To protect Marta who has the Ratatosk Core on her eyebrow, it follows her like a shadow.
It is loyal to her commands.

Well, this explains what was the stone on Marta in the preview movie.

Spoiler for Aqua:

"Huh. You're a bit cool. Though only 1 out of 1 hundred millionth compared to Richter-sama."

One of the Centurion that serve the spirit Ratatosk.
An existence that uses water attribute.
A tomboy and very loud, she is the exact opposite of the way too serious Tenebrae.
She, as well, has apparitions following her and can employ them in battle.
She sympathizes with Richter's circumstances, leaves the current Ratatosk for him, and is working with him.

Spoiler for Regal:

"Thank you. I swear on my one-winged name that I will not betray you."

He was a prisoner in the previous game, but after helping with the world regeneration, he accepted amnesty.
In the world after the regeneration, as the president of Lezerano Company, he cooperates with Lloyd in his Exsphere search and assists in the world reconstruction.
He's a gentle gentleman as always, but being freed from his feeling of self-condemnation from killing his lover, he is now taking off his handcuffs.

Wonder if he can be considered a lolicon for falling in love with Alicia. I mean, Alicia was this small when she started working for him. Though I admit she did get older...
Anyways, please buy the manga if you want to see what Presea's sister looks like.

Spoiler for Shihna:

"It's Igaguli-style ninjutsu. Though it isn't as good as ojii-chan's yet."

Head of Mizuho Village and inherited the Igaguli-style ninjutsu.
She also traveled to regenerate the world.
She's also a summoner who forms pacts with spirits.
After the travel of regeneration, she has been acting as a mediator for the Sylvarant cities and Tethe'alla's king.
Her personality is the same as before, bright, hot-blooded, and honest to her feelings.

Spoiler for Presea:

"I will... cooperate as well. I will definitely be useful."

She also traveled to regenerate the world.
Two years have passed since the previous game, being released from the Exsphere's parasitism, her nutritional status has gotten better and is currently growing correctly.
Because her time stopped, though it was a blank, she continues to worry about the gap of her real age. But currently, she is slowly regaining her girl-ness and smiles a lot more now.
Currently, to restore her birthplace, Ozette Village, she is working with Regal.

She really doesn't seem to look like she's grown, but in two years, she has gotten 12 cm. taller and 14 kg. heavier.


Also as a bonus:

Spoiler for Emil:

"G-guess it can't be helped... I'll try, but if I fail, don't get mad."

A boy who lost his parents in the Purge of Blood that occured in the reborn Palmacosta.
Has a honest personality and has a purity that believes everything.
He's basically a coward and has a hard time deciding on something by himself.
He is passive and has a strong desire to protect.
To protect Marta, he exchanged the pact of "Knight of Ratatosk."

Spoiler for Marta:

"If you're a boy, do it properly!"

A girl who lost her mom due to a berserk big tree.
Having a unyielding personality, she has a clear view and isn't satisfied until something is explained properly.
But this doesn't mean she's like a boy.
In regards to Emil's cowardice and passive attitude, she just believes that he is being modest and hiding his strength.
To Marta, Emil is like a prince.

Last two lines=

Spoiler for Richter:

"Don't get in my way. Protect your own body yourself. I will follow at least."

A young man traveling searching for the Ratatosk Core for a certain reason.
Because he was raised oppressed, he hates people who oppress others and also hates people who stay quiet while being oppressed.
He's extremely sarcastic and stern and will do anything to fulfill his objective.
While searching for the Core, he meets Emil. Though he gets irritated at Emil's cowardice and passiveness, he ends up joining him.
There seems to be a reason for that...

Target=Marta


As for system, it seems that they brought back the skit system. Of course, it would be weirder for it not to exist.
Also, it seems you will be able to join up with Symphonia members in parties and battles.
I like this one:

Spoiler for pic:

Marta: You're strong, kind, and really the best! I love Emil so much!

and:



Marta: Eh? It's actually kinda romantic. I want to link arms and walk with the person I like.

Really attached...

Animation movie screenshots are wonderful!

I wonder if I'll still be alive when this gets localized...
