New Shining Fan Festa 2014 info

New information of Shining Fan Festa 2014 event has been revealed today via the official site.

• Lia is announced as a performer in the concert part. (Lia is the singer of the legendary song Tori no Uta.)
• Performers of concert part: Nana Mizuki, Souichirou Hoshi, Asami Shimoda, Satomi Akesaka, Saori Hayami, Asami Seto
• Sale of tickets begins on September 13.
• Theme song of Shining arcade game will be showed. Our speculation is Blade Arcus theme song sung by Asami Shimoda who voices Pairon in the game.
• It doesn't appear that Satomi Akesaka involves anything at all, so it's possible that she'll sing Blade Arcus theme song together with Shimoda. Since her main job is voice actress she most likely voices an unannounced character. They sing Shining Force Cross theme songs.

New Shining Resonance info

From the official site that is renewed today.

Two unknown characters

• The character on the right belongs to Lombardia Empire. This supports our speculation that the silver hair girl is indeed the queen of the empire and is voiced by Nana Mizuki.
• The character on the left is most likely the long hair samurai-looking man in the opening movie. Interestingly, he doesn't belong to any country.

Armonix tuning

• It looks like this's point allotment system for the weapons. You can raise the magic potential for an ability such as raising max MP. Vice versa, you can raise physical attack potential for an ability such as add damage.
• You can rank up specific tuning via combat.
• You can add Skill Piece to an Armonix. Skill Piece such as Vital can raise max HP 10%. 
• Update: Please read new information about Tuning here.

Zest

• His class is "Majuukenshi" (magic "gunblade" user).
• He just wants to fight a strong opponent. His sample voice reveals that he gives up on a fight just because the opponent is too weak.

Beatrice

• Her class is Ninja Master.
• She's actually a childhood friend of Kirika and Rinna.
• Her sample voices show that she's more or less Tsundere character. (She says something like you're too nice for believing me like that.)

More Twitter icons

• More Twitter icons has been added.

Shining Resonance will be released on December 11. Sonia is expected to be playable in Beast Note's most anticipated fighting game Blade Arcus.
