There was chatter about a new trailer this weekend, I guess it made its way online already.

That 10 seconds of battle footage got me all riled up.
Woo, new monsters and that umbrella action.

This trailer made Laila feel more like the heroine than Alicia is.
They've really got me on the hook again. This time it seems like it actually could be the game I've been waiting for for a very long time. Presentation/cast/story of the Team Symphonia games and the combat of Team Destiny games. Please don't let me down.
That said, going by the trailer, this has a high chance of being another thematic disaster where they beat you over the head with it endlessly, considering how often he says "my dream"/"our dream."

Trailer makes the dialogue seem like it's going to be cheesy/repetitive.
Combat looks ok.
They show a battlefield in the video that appears to be in one of the game's dungeons that they showed in screenshots a little earlier, and it's far bigger than the actual dungeon seems to be. I think that probably kills the open battles speculation.

Maybe they will have a trailer for Alicia?
Have they said whether or not they're going with the select-able protagonist thing again?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
At least the overall presentation of the battle system looks much much better now.

Well, so far the entire story reveals have been centered around the Slay/Tenzoku side.
As far as Alicia is concerned story-wise from what we know, she's still an outsider human that happened to drop in and meet this weirdo kid who claims he can see invisible people.
Granted, since the story direction is moving in the way of Slay taking up the role as the 'Doushi/Monk' ( apparently the Fon Master equivalent of Zestiria ), and part of his role is mending/building bridges towards co-existence of humans and Tenzoku ( it's not Tales without a race-conflict subplot ), we'll probably see Alicia's side of the equation soon.

The website has a lot of new info since I last checked. Anywhere I can read translations?

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Color me excited, will be looking forward to the release of this.
The description of it is also a good window into the type of combat system it is... (??)

I re-watched the battle stuff like 4 times. The rest of the trailer about 0.5 times.
Right, but we already know it's supposed to have combat similar to Graces! That is the primary reason for my optimism about the game.

Looks neat, but I'll wait until the trailer is up in high quality before going into more detail about it.
Eh, only 10 seconds of battle footage and even that didn't say much.
Fusionic being used in the battle system name gives me hope that the gimmick will be based on performed artes, rather than controlling characters, so I don't end up in a situation like Xillia that's anti-multiplayer. Or maybe I'm just putting too much thought on it.

I'm thinking you will form pacts with the divine characters which give Slay and Alicia varying abilities in battle.

My local multi-player soul is ready.
Sure, but it's nice to get more evidence.
Anyway to speak about the footage, Edna looks fun to play.

it looks awesome. love the fantasy setting.
let's be honest, that's a bit typical for a tales game

Yeah, story wise it sounds like the contracts are just another form of linking. I'm only holding out hope because it sounds like Slay is supposed to be the one linking to everyone, not the other human characters.
They say end of May.
Edit: I will say one nice thing about what they showed. The fact that Slay had a small uppercut and Edna had such a large knock up attack should mean that good aerial juggling for more than a few characters should be in.

Need more battle footage. Gotta wait until tales festival.
As long as it's not Graces level of repetitive. That game really should of ended about halfway through instead of endlessly dragging it out.
The way they throw "dream" around in the trailer actually is reminiscent of Graces's obsession with "protect/defend" (forget what word they used in the English version).
As long as it's not like
letting Richard get away time and time again cause hes my friend and I can't kill my friend form of dragging the story on and on I'll be fine. After about the second time I was ready to run him through.
Fusionic Chain? Okay. I already know what this is going to be based off the info we got and I'm hellishly hyped now. We better see some real-time field of fonon shit going on.
