New Info is apparently out:
-Setting is Tokyo and planet called Plotraksa(?) -12 young protagonists gets Shinigami (Evil God)'s soul in them so they become immortal, and they end up getting involved with battle of Gods -Dungeon traveling is 3D Sideview with SD characters -you can perform actions like jump and dash to progress dungeons -enemies are symbol encounter so you can attack them first -battle involves 4 characters in system called active chain battle -Each members are bound to the 4 face buttons (○/×/□/△) and when you press each button corresponding characters attack -you have to think of the order of the attack to keep the combo going, and higher combos will result battle chance of rare items -In the battle there is 'front row' and 'back row' and you can switch them during battle. Front row has higher damage output but is easier for enemies to attack. Back row has lower damage but it's harder for enemies to attack you. -main characters have power of shinigami, so you can unlock those powers to do special attacks -story is not your typical "good guys beat evil guys" -you have important choices to choose which member you send back to Earth. The order in which you send characters back to Earth will have influence on the road to the ending. -time it takes to beat the game is around 40~50 hours -there are lots of post-game contents -online elements include time attack on boss battles

Then again it seems like we have 12 characters at the start and then we need to send one or two in each milestone of the game? I mean we don't need to recruit someone before sending them to valhallaearth

VERY slow start, but once you get all the party members it starts picking up real fast. Still, that's like 3-4 hours in the start that could've been cut down to 1 hour at most.
My biggest gripe with the game though is that combos midair gives red crystals, while combos on the ground gives blue. That's so opposite of Valkyrie Profile! Man, it's so easy to get blue crystals now... XD Next biggest gripe is the load times. I've gotten used to it now, but game could've been much more fun if it was smoother. Third gripe is Ranze's English VA is SOOO deep; which is a shame, since I like MC's English VA way better. Is it the most fun game I've played this year? No, that honor goes to Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Comboing is still fun, but I admit I miss every turn Purify Weird Soul attacks. On the plus side, its actually feasible to bring 2 mages to the party due to the AP system, so the party variety is so much better here. All in all, I am playing this more than I am playing civilization 6, so that counts for something right?

Purify Wicked Soul?
You mean Demon's Greed? It'll unlock eventually. BTW. this game has the you can make everyone into clones of one another system. So their Demon's Greed is what tells them apart. And those with MT Demon's Greed are so much superior than those who don't. |

Oh sorry, I guess you haven't played Valkryie Profile, the spiritual predecessor of this game. In that game, the 'Demons Greed' attacks are called 'Purify Weird Soul', and it's not that hard to pull off PWS attacks with all 4 of your characters, each and every turn. That IMO was part of the fun of VP, especially since the dub was EXCEPTIONAL. Some of the fun lines I still remember include:
"Body and soul shall be torn asunder!" "Now your future is empitness!" "My soul burns, my power has awakened!" In here, I guess it becomes easier to do Greed Attacks later on, but it just isn't nearly as fun as VP. As for the actual Greed Attacks, eh, I like single target more and more later in the game, if only because I can remove one really dangerous enemy just so I can farm the trash mobs for more blue crystals. XD Another big thing that bugs me: no training mode. Like in the end when all your attackers are using Bloody Cross 1 for the juicy hits, it doesn't really matter what move you use, as they'd all more or less combo. But before that, man, I hate how you can only experiment with your attacks in actual battles.
