“Extremespeed Guillotine” whose admiration wanders into the paranormality

Phonon
Height: 157 cm
Weight: 45 kg (78/57/82)

“I awakened into this power a manga protagonist could have. It would be such a waste not to use it in a cool way.”

STORY:
Admiring the abilities and wanting to freely use her own ability, she leaves a strictly disciplined student vigilante group, “EFG”.
This sensitive girl is common in these days. She has grown bored of her peaceful life as a student and kept searching for her “true self” for a long time.

She keeps thinking that her powers as a “Fake Born” was what finding her true self meant. She walks under the night thinking that her powers should be used on other people. But people rumor that within the people who wander under the night, there’s someone who takes a form of your “false self” from the time before you awakened as your “true self”…

FIGHTING STYLE:
Phonon fights with a whip in her hand. Whip attacks have a lot of reach: she can overwhelm the opponent from far away or drag the opponent close to her and then beat them. There are many sadistic way to get offensive…

Also, a flexible whip has excellent ways to react to opponent’s moves. She has a lot of potential to intercept the opponent’s moves.
Whip can freely change form whether you’re on offensive or not. If you imagine how Eltnum does her Etherite Air move, there’s a lot to look forward from this character.

Other stuff translated by Sourenga

So, Raito was streaming and shared some tiny pieces of info…

  • Originally they expected to update the arcade version in 6 months after the console version released

  • Exe:Late[st] is already pretty much complete. They can release it very soon after the loketests if there are no problems.

  • Game is completely developed by French Bread. ASW hasn’t touched anything within the game

  • Arc System Works has told them what they should do, so the game would feel more like a new version.

  • French Bread is well known for not marketing their games.

  • Melty Blood sold well even without marketing it. But that won’t work with an original work, like UNI

  • ECOLE didn’t have too much resources to market the game

  • With the PS3 version, French Bread learned that you need a lot of help in game development

  • ASW are professionals in marketing and have funds to do so. This will help to gain more players for UNI.

  • Raito doesn’t know if the new hud with Story artwork is final

  • Opening will change in Exe:Late[st]. Raito is not sure if the movie can be seen in loketest, but he hasn’t seen the movie yet either

  • Raito is not confirming whether there’s “Seth VS Hyde” song or not, but promises there will definitely be something new to listen…

  • Raito will be holding a new music listening broadcast after Exe:Late[st] starts to operate

  • He has been talking with Narita about holding a new UStream broadcast, but it’s not decided yet

  • Raito was thinking that if they could show of the new things and balance changes in the UStream broadcast to the people who couldn’t come to the loketests.

  • Raito doesn’t know if they share changelog, but he personally would definitely want one.

  • Version select was researched. Narita also thought it would be cool, but it was difficult and pretty expensive to realize.

  • People are now talking that Raito is the only person who shares new info about UNI. But he just wants to make sure people have something to look forward…

Despite the update being announced, online is still a barren wasteland. Considering how little people actually play on console in general, I’m worried that [st] wont get beyond an arcade release.

944

Honestly I’m surprised that they considered whatever numbers Melty Blood sold were considered “well.” I mean, as far as I know, the final version of MB only came with the limited edition of Carnival Phantasm which can’t be all that many physical sales. I guess if they include every single iteration of the game it might get some semi impressive numbers.

Anyway, I hope they do well with the marketing support of ASW helping them out. I wonder how much French Bread got/will get out of the UNIEL and incoming Dengeki Bunko localization.

945

Not enough new characters. They went to the wrong people to show them what a “sequel” looks like. Asw sucks with sequels, it’s the one company I would wait for to release a 3rd, 4rd or 5th version of a game before I’d buy it.

947

I guess they broke Hyde

948

Nice.
Looking forward to some shred of news regarding a PS3 port of EXE:Late[st]. Or maybe even a huge update/upgrade patch to the standard UNIEL.
Phonon looks like potential fun to use.

Picked this game up on the PS3 in late April, been having fun with it since I also got my sister-in-law hooked on it.
My main would be Orie, and trying to get into Akatsuki, Hyde, and Byakuya. My sister-in-law started out with Linne, and is trying to move on to use Hilda.

949

We probably won’t see this for a good while, but on the bright side, last time they did a console port we got two new characters so let’s hope they carry that on a tradition.

950

Will this game be available for PS4 this year? Gave away my PS3

951

952

I could find the news about this new character on SRK’s front page only after reverting back to the original layout, the new one is totally messed up.

I’m still waiting for this game to come to steam. They said summer, but I would be happier with a release date.

955

PS4 port please.

956

Now THAT will get people interested in the game. /s

957

I don’t know if those are the type of people one should be proud to recruit. An 8 year old (or so) girl in a tiny halter top and short shorts.

958

That was kind of the point. That’s exactly the kind of character design that sends normal people running straight for the hills.

959

Her name doesn’t help it either.

960

Well, that’s anime for you; it’s unusual, yet eye-catching at the same time.

And I would love to have UNIEL[st] on the PS4 as well.
