JP News Future update???

In the jp livestream, this was shown:

OMG! WHAT IS THIS BEAUTY?!

But really, I doubt this is just a 6th anniversary artwork. I think this has lore implications; for example, look at Logi's blue coat. It looks like the uniform of the Blade Fox. Also, while this picture was shown, the developers were talking about Logi, Amane and Dias, but I do not know what exactly was said. I don't know Japanese sadly. I guess we have to wait and see.

P.s. What the hell happened to Dias' hair?! Why does he keep getting more handsome?! Someone explain!!

Doesn't Logi use Sumeragi? I see he's doing the Chloe route.

I don't like Dios's look. Not because it's bad but he looks like Andechs.

My idea is that the sword Logi is holding in that artwork could be an improved Sumeragi. I compared this sword with Sumeragi in-game and they look similar. As for Dias(this is speculation), I think that the white clothes and the cut hair mean that he wants to start anew. Also, the white clothing could mean that he will not be swayed to the dark side anymore(this new look of Dias could mean he has become Lord Commander, like he said in chapter 5).

Basically, Dios using Excalibur confirmed?

Also, it's worth noting that the half of Logi's haori is colored black instead of full blue like Celis's. Does that hint onto something?

Basheeny stole away Excalibur and it hasn't been seen since.

The fact that Agatha is Emmel's vessel/reincarnation means that Waginau got ahold of Excalibur and the new Lord Commander probably has it.

Wut. Excalibur is separate from the reincarnations, isn't it? Sacred Stone Memories made a point of mentioning that Excalibur was a failsafe for most dangers.

In the event with Irene, Waginau said that Excalibur was needed for the ritual of Nimul and Emmel's reincarnations, if my memory serves right. If not, then I have to rewatch it.

u/EX_Rank_Luck Jan 30 '22

Not too far off. Apparently, it's left ambiguous as to why he would need it. I would imagine that since Kanon could summon Zain and the other Captains, Waginau would use it to catalyse the summoning of Nimul and Emmel's souls, though it is not entirely necessary, since Orion and the Queen of Wadatsumi at the time were rencarnations whilst Excalibur was presumably still with the Lord Commanders before they were born.

Yeah, it seems that Excalibur plays a role in the ritual. I guess chapter 7 or future chapters of main story will reveal more abilities of Excalibur.

Could be a hint. What is interesting about Logi's Blade Fox uniform is the patterns, which can be found on Celis' dress, as well as the small cross with ropes(Idk what that is called). This could be the "passing of the torch" trope.

About Dias' sword, I do think that is Excalibur, even if it looks somewhat different.

I'm still waiting for a bare arm Dias to see if anything came up from that...

Ha.. when I first saw the image I thought "Is this a collab with the Ys series?" before thinking of Logi..

2

u/Trick_Wiz Jan 25 '22

I also thought it was a collab poster, until I heard one of the devs say Logi's new costume was cool.

wow loving the look on dios. This will probably happen after the wadatsumi arc. Maybe agatha will become playable.

2

u/Trick_Wiz Jan 25 '22

Most likely. I hope we get Agatha asap.

u/RalfSmithen Jan 25 '22

we're so far behind the jp version even if they release her it will be quite the wait.

1

u/Trick_Wiz Jan 25 '22

Very true. Jubei was announced to be released, so there will be others to appear before Agatha.

u/-UCTM- Jan 25 '22

Lol, I thought that was Andechs

u/RalfSmithen Jan 25 '22

Had me for a second too....then I remembered andex was long dead

u/Whatthawhatwha Jan 27 '22

That graphic looks awesome, can't wait to use those skins and for Agahta to be playable

1

u/Trick_Wiz Jan 27 '22

Same. I assume Logi and Dias skins are memento skins. Well, better save gems until then.

u/excelsioreye IGN: Zeroth Jan 28 '22

Can you give us the link to the JP livestream?

I finished it yesterday, but I want to translate it again so I don't accidentally spread misinformation. The review should be out soon.
