The website for Infinite Souls has been updated today. Characters, gallery, and the special section have all been updated.

The gallery includes some screenshots with actual gameplay footage. It looks really solid and cute. I'm glad to see there are some new enemies and not just ones recycled all the way back from the first Agarest War to Neptunia.

Four new characters have been added. They're all grouped together in a Shu-Shu category and that name is one they share. Perhaps Shu-Shu is some kind of Power Ranger-like group? In the screenshot section, there's a picture which has personality labels(and name it seems) for each Shu-Shu.

I spent the past few hours attempting to translate most of the info for the new Shu-shu characters, but I'm having difficulty trying to read the extremely tiny kanji. I can't copypasta it in a browser to search in a dictionary. I really hope I did a sufficient job as I did the best I could and with that, I apologize if there are (likely) numerous mistakes and if anyone else has better abilities, I'd appreciate any help and corrections. Some lines I left out simply because I can't translate it coherently.

From left to right:

Shu-Shu Genki: She's the smallest in her transformation and she's very childlike. Genki always has to move about and is quite apologetic. Each time she goes out, she asks that anyone around should play with her, but by challenging people her inexaustable strength and power, she becomes very serious loses herself.
CV: Yuna Inamura

Shu-Shu Tsundere: Stubborn, rebellious, and incapable of obedience. Despite being Tsundere, shes troubled about not being able to love anyone, but she able to open herself up a little bit to children and to stylish, fasionable people. However, if she gets mad she becomes a serious advesary but has a very lonely, dejected expression.
CV: Yui Shouji

Shu-Shu Kamoku(Quiet): She doesn't talk. When digging(?) she always has a blank expression. She hates to talk herself, but she doesn't mind listening to others speak and she has a very sharp tongue. (Note: I'm still working on the last two lines)
CV: Yui Shouji

Shu-Shu Tennen(Natural): Has a "do things at my pace" motto and a carefree(?) personality[not sure on that. I don't know what PoyaPoya means]. If she becomes sleepy, she'll even sleep in the middle of the street and while talking she sometimes bursts into song, usually about freedom. If shes close by, she gives off a warm feeling with some strange healing effect. I'm not too sure how translate the last line, but I think she might think of herself as someone who is talkative and a very difficult-type.

* More character info which you can find below the cut.
* Info on the Infinite Souls universe. There are seven worlds, each with a different theme and the names seem to be based on days of the week:
- Sun耀界: Medieval Europe world
- Mon耀界: Feudal Japan world
- Tues耀界: Volcanic world
- Wed耀界: World where magic and science collide
- Thurs耀界: Nature world
- Fri耀界: Futuristic metropolis world
- ???: Dark/Shadow/Black Hole world. The name is left out. While it's easy to assume it would follow the theme of the previous worlds and be named Sat 耀界, there's a possibility that this could be different.
* There still isn't a lot of info on the battle system aside from big damage and flashy attacks, but they definitely deliver in the big damage and flashy attacks department.
* In the G Castle, you can create generic characters just like most of the NIS games. Unlike the NIS games, however, you seem to have more customization options. So far, it says that you can choose hair style and voices.
* Yet another NIS veteran is providing his talent for Infinite Souls: Tenpei Sato for music

Although I would like to see a real trailer and an explanation of the battle system to make a real judgement, this game definitely looks like it can give the Disgaea series a run for it's money. Of course, having people who provided their talent for the Disgaea series helps. I'm once again impressed with the graphics and I really like the look of the different worlds, especially the futuristic world and Chou's G Castle.

Although the game seemed to be aiming to be like Disgaea, it looks like they're using cell shading graphics instead of sprites, which actually looks pretty good. I think this is pretty much the closest thing to what a 3D Nippon Ichi game should look like.

I do like the look of the characters and the angel, Altis, is pretty interesting, being a demon who was kicked out of hell and became an angel. Does that make her a Fallen Demon? ChouChou Infinite, the main character, seems more or less like your typical NI Overlord except that she's a girl. Lute, the blue haired character with goggles, is her servant.

I do hope a real trailer eventually shows up. I'm more interested in seeing this game in action.

EDIT: The video was taken down.

I was reading up on figurine news on Tomopop and came across pictures of nendoroid petits of the two female main characters and the bunny thing. The page scan actually gives their names. The protagonist is Shushu Infinite, the Angel is called Altis/Artis/Altith/Artith(アルティス), and the bunny thing is called Shampru. They're going to be packaged with the limited edition version of the game and its apparently due to release sometime in March.

EDIT: Sorry I forgot the link and magazine scan.

Hi everyone,

http://www.compileheart.com/mugen/

This is the new game Idea Factory is working on for the Playstation 3. It's named Infinite Souls. It's a RPG and its gameplay is very similar to Disgaea. However, the similarities don't stop here. Takehito Harada and Nomura Ryouji are designing the characters, click here to check out some of their art and some magazine scans of the game (nsfw for cleavage).

This game has lots of fanservice apparently (why the protagonist is a kid, Harada why) ... Here's a dengeki article with hi-res art. (NSFW)
Besides, in a similar way to Tinier Me you can customize your character! That's pretty cool feature!

Honestly, this time I think Harada designed the characters in a rush. And Nomura Ryouji... ...
So, what do you guys think?
