Compile Heart is teasing the second entry in its Galapagos RPG series of titles.

The video promises the company has upped its game so that it might be even more loved by its “special Japanese customers.”

A series of phrases flash across the screen: “Pleasant Cooperation,” “A World of Despair,” “Bringing Compile Heart to a New State of Mind.”

“It’s not Fairy Fencer 2!” the screen continues to flash. “And it’s not Mugen Souls!”

A creature, the Galapagos Iguanappi, appears on screen. “Whoa, what!? The mood around Galapagos Iguanappi… what’s happening!?”

Suddenly, the creature evolves (where’s Brock when you need him?). Holding three fingers, he repeatedly says, “Pi Esu.” Put two and two together, and it sounds that, like Fairy Fencer F, this is a PlayStation 3 game yet again.

More details will be revealed on May 6.

Watch the trailer below.

Compile Heart’s label, Galapagos RPG, that makes RPGs for Japanese customers, have been teasing their second title with a strange evolving monster (shown above). This week’s issue of Famitsu reveals that it’s a game called Omega Quintet, for PlayStation 4.

According to the report, the genre of Omega Quintet is “idol x RPG”. The artwork is being done by Fukahire and music production by Lantis and (idea) WILL.

Omega Quintet takes place in a world that is being eroded by a phenomenon called “beep,” which has been degenerating the life of mankind by affecting their minds. The protagonist is a young lady who is some sort of “Verse Maiden” and happens to have the powers to stop the “beep”.

While details on the other characters in the game are scarce, Famitsu names of some characters and their voice actors in Otoha (Riho Iida,) Kyouka (Rui Tanabe,) Kanadeko (Inori Minase,) and Aria (Eii Yamazaki)

Omega Quintet is slated for release on September 18, 2014 for PlayStation 4. The limited edition version of the game will include a special booklet, while pre-orders will come with an original soundtrack CD.

The basic party formation in Omega Quintet can be composed of a maximum of six characters, with five of them being Songstresses and the last slot being occupied by player character Tact. As in a lot of strategy RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, the turn order is made visibly apparent on the right hand side of the screen. The turn order is in turn dictated by the strength of the attacks that a given character uses; the harder they strike upfront, the further back in line they get kicked afterwards. Also visible on the turn order gauge to the side of character portraits are statistics for things such as status effects, as well as indicators for intended targets when it comes to enemies specifically.

When a character takes their turn, a number appears in the upper-left corner of the screen under their portrait. This signifies how many actions they can take and is also one of the variables displayed with enemy portraits as part of the turn order bar. As players have them attack or use skills, that number goes down, although as long as they still have available actions, they can also use such moves in combo chains through consecutive use. The options that Songstresses have at their disposal, as well as how many moves they can make per turn overall, increase as they grow and level up throughout the game. Once per turn, each party member also has the option of using a support command, which generally entails teaming up with the protagonist, the specifics of which will be detailed later in this article.

The turn order in Omega Quintet can be manipulated by having the Songstresses deliberately do things such as use weak attacks and if coordinated well in tandem with the other characters, this can allow players to pull off what’s known in the game as “Harmonics,” which are powerful moves that can have between two and five of the girls participating. To achieve this, the requisite girls’ turns have to be lined up and the active cooperation of the protagonist is also required, which, again, will be detailed farther below. Harmonics as such come in a variety of forms and aren’t useful solely in an offensive sense. That being said, when specific skills are chained together in this state regardless of execution order, it’s additionally possible to execute a “Harmonic Chain,” which is an especially powerful and flashy attack.

As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the protagonist of Omega Quintet also participates in combat. However, rather than work on the frontlines like the Songstresses, he’s primarily relegated to provided support by specifically tag-teaming with one of the girls. When attached to one of the girls, as signified by an icon depicting him next to their portrait, he can perform things such as follow-up attacks and defend them against enemy attacks. However, much like the other party members, the number of actions he can take in this capacity are limited and he has to spend action points in order to help out.

Beyond that, the magazine also announced the opening and ending theme songs for the game. The opening is titled “PROMiSED ViSION,” with lyrics by Erica Masaki, while composition has been handled by Kai Gojou and editing by fandemale. The ending, meanwhile, is dubbed “Good bye & Good luck,” featuring lyrics by Miho Karasawa and composition and editing by Kyou Takada. As expected, the main girls are the ones behind the vocals in both songs.

Omega Quintet is due out for PlayStation 4 on September 19 in Japan.

Idea Factory International has announced that Idol Sim and JRPG hybrid Omega Quintet will be coming to North America and Europe in Spring 2015 in both retail and digital formats. Both Japanese and English voiceovers will be available. Read the rest of the press release below.


Story

In a world overrun by a mysterious, malevolent darkness, the only hope for humanity rests in the music of singing idols known as “Verse Maidens”. Wielding weapons of sound, they are tasked with fighting back evil and restoring the world, but it won’t be easy! These five plucky girls –with the help of their manager Takt–will have to give the performance of a lifetime to stop this darkness from claiming the last of humanity. Will they be able to band together and blow this evil away, or will they fight only to discover that the darkness has been lurking within them the whole time…?

Key Features

  • Power of music!: Harness the power of song to defeat evil! Every fight is a performance, and you’ve gotta give the audience what they want! By entering “Concert Mode” you’ll get boosts from your music, as well as be able to fill up your Voltage Gauge faster to perform special skills.
  • Break a…garter?: It may be the end of the world, but you’ve also got idols on your hand and they must always be ready to perform! You’ll be able to customize their outfits, accessories, hair, and more! Be careful, though, because sustaining hits from the enemies can cause a “Costume Break”, which will compromise their outfits and leave them vulnerable to more damage!
  • Lethal harmonies!: An idol group combines their talents to create beautiful harmonies, and with the “Harmonics” system, you can sing your enemies right into their graves! Create deadly super chains of attacks, utilizing each idol’s skill in the right order to keep the pain coming –it’ll be music to your ears!
  • Dance or die!: Create performances for your idols and share them with the PlayStation®4 Share function! You can build each routine, move by move, and even use the PlayStation®4 Camera to project yourself into the performance, as well as the Move controller to add special effects! The better your shows, the more moves you’ll be able to pass onto your idols!
