While Kou and his friends aren’t fighting in the Other World, they’ll spend time at school, where you’ll meet some of the more “normal” friends. The official website introduces us to three close friends of Tokyo Xanadu protagonist, Kou.
Shori Kurashiki:
Shiori is a 17-year-old classmate of Kou’s, and is a childhood friend that lives in his neighborhood. She’s a bit more on the conservative side as far as personality goes, but she’s also strong-hearted. She takes care of Kou like a mother, especially knowing that he’s been living on his own.
She’s been living the everyday school life with Kou and the others, but one day, she gets involved in an incident with the Other World.
Ryota Ibuki:
Ryota is the 17-year-old friend that has been friends with Kou and close to Shiori since their elementary school days. He’s a very healthy young man who dreams of a rosy high school life. He’s part of the kendo club, but often skips it, since he prioritizes going out with friends.
He has a nice personality and is sociable, but he has a problem of not being able to find himself a girlfriend, since he ends up just being called a “good guy,” and it never goes further than that.
Jun Kohinata:
Jun is a 16-year-old classmate of Kou’s. He has a baby face to go with a small build, and since he’s sometimes mistaken as a girl, they often find him cute. He can be shy at times, but once he makes friends, he’ll freely speak his mind.
Jun was classmates with Kou and Ryota during their first year, so they became friends, and you can often see the three together at school. He’s a bit of an otaku, so he knows a lot about the latest anime and subcultures.
Tokyo Xanadu will release in Japan on September 30, 2015 for PlayStation Vita.
Famitsu this week reveals Grand Kingdom, a new tactical RPG for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita from Grand Knights History director Tomohiko Deguchi due out later this year in Japan.
Set in a royal fantasy world of swords and magic, players will wage turn-based battles by commanding their own mercenaries. Four major powers are competing for dominance, and the player can choose which country it would like its mercenary group to support.
Online multiplayer is supported (it’s actually listed as an “online RPG,” but also supports offline) against players belonging to any of the four major powers. There is also a system to expand your territory through repeated invasion and defense.
Grand Kingdom will also feature fully voiced characters and conversation scenes with various animations. The following characters have been announced:
Gladius Ringland (voiced by Ryoka Yuzuki)
Preshia Tera (voiced by Miho Arakawa)
Julius Wiseman (voiced by Shintaro Asanuma)
Grahm Berngaldo (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda)
Our source notes that although the game is similar to Grand Knights History, there is no direct relation, story and system-wise.
The game’s staff is as follows:
Character Design – Chizu Hashii
Sound – Basiscape
Developer – MonoChro (Deguchi’s company)
Publisher – Spike Chunsoft
Development is currently 65 percent complete.
