From the creators of The Legend of Legacy, The Alliance Alive is a new RPG coming to the 3DS for Japan in spring 2017. Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama created the story for this game, which follows humanity's rebellion against the otherworldly Asmodians who have ruled over them for thousands of years. The story jumps between its nine protagonists, human and Asmodian alike, as their fates slowly converge from across the fragmented world. Battles in the game are initiated by making contact with foes in the overworld. The turn-based combat system utilizes up to five party members at once that you can place in different formations, and emphasizes speed and tempo. More details can be found here, or at the game's official website.
Famitsu held a NicoNico livestream where about an hour of the game was demoed! The game will release in Japan on March 30.
The game's Japanese release has been delayed to June 22. As an apology, preorders will come with a music CD and free home themes. Here's a new trailer: You can also read about battle mechanics (trailer), weapons and various features, and characters.
