First up, the characters.
Subaru (age: unknown) is the ruler of the Queendom of Halgeetah. A long time acquaintance of Sigmund's, she instantly takes to Capell with a very motherly attitude. She seems to support the Liberation Forces. It is unknown if she will join in combat.
Toma (15) is a Haineyl who serves the royal house of Halgeetah, known as a Shadow. He is a childhood friend of Sigmund's, and thus one of the few people that know his past. He carries himself in a confident and dignified manner, but can also be quite naive to the world around him. He appears to fight with a katana.
The word "Haineyl" refers to someone with a high rank in society as well as (or due to?) the greater power that they weild as compared to the "Komoneyl." They apparently are also able to bestow Lunagrams (the glyphs that appear on people's skin, granting them magical powers) onto others. (You can probably think of them as basically nobles and commoners. That seems to fit fairly well.)
It was also revealed in this article that Infinite Undiscovery will feature a "multiparty" system, allowing the player to divide his or her allies up between a possible 3 groups of 4 members each. Since Capell is the only "fully" playable character in IU, the party lead by him is known as the "main party" while the other two are classified as "sub parties." There will be times when all three parties will participate in the same mission, all being present on the battlefield.
That being said, it is apparently important to consider the personalities of each character that you put in each party, as they will act differently based on who they are working with and the personality of that party's leader. It also appears that characters' personalities may change once certain criteria are met...
The final bit of information presented in this article is regarding a phenomenon known as Lunar Rain. Lunar Rain is supposedly power from the moon falling down to the Earth, granting those who are touched by it better stamina and more power to their Lunagrams. Since the Sealed Army chained the moon, the Lunar Rain falls almost exclusively on the Halgeetah region. For some reason, Capell does not feel comfortable in the Lunar Rain...
Check out the scans of the article below.
Infinite Undiscovery will be available on Xbox 360 on September 2nd, 2008 in North America, September 5th, 2008 in Europe, and September 11th, 2008 in Japan from Square Enix.
Honestly, this game and Tales of Vesperia are looking both just incredible to me. Since they release only a week apart from each other, I'm having a hard time deciding which one I'll play first. (They are both day 1 buys for me.)
