New
Do you think Kadenz fermata is a prequel or sequel to fortissimo or brand new story?

Hmm nice theory you have there. Maybe one thing to help your theory is Vorspa's involvement in all this. Spoilers from Sakura's route


Lol that wall of speculation. Btw Matt, are you good at translating names? If so, do you mind if you can give me a hand with these ones:

Julius: シャリオヴァルト - Shariovaruto
Julia: クロノシュネーヴァイシェン - Kuronoshunevaishen
Rudra: アンダルファイト - Andarufaito

And I have been trying to translate the battle data for the Holy Knights. So far, Amaterasu has been the easiest person for me to do because of wikipedia lol. From what I can see, these knights' data are pretty average compared to the mahoutsukai, but maybe I am giving the mahoutsukai too much credit for being Op'ed.

Edit: I finished translating all of the characters' battle data. I'm going to post it here in case anyone wants to see it. Long post here we go

I think you're probably right about the knights' motive. That fits with my impression of what I've read. It might be a bit more complicated than that if they're going after Reiji's group in particular, but I wonder if Kamiya/La'cryma will go into more detail before it comes out.

It occurs to me that half the mahoutsukai in fortissimo were homicidal (Odin + the 3 in Jin's faction, Sanada, even Hinako near the end... well, essentially everyone else too once they realized they needed to kill people to gain power to survive and whatnot). They probably have a bad reputation, local superhero Sayuki aside. There are a lot of unclear things about the setting that had better get addressed in Kadenz...

YoxalLoyal said:

Not at all, but I can offer my guesses for the ones you mentioned based on some research.



Good work with the battle data. The points about Sakura you mentioned remind me of a post I read a while back on 2ch:


Power - C (lowered from S to C...ouch again)
...
Fighting Style: Eliminating everything in a single strike (aka Thor's Hammer fullaccess).

Ryuuichi can't use Full Access anymore because it utilizes the 9 parallel worlds and now there's only 1. That should be at least part of why his power is down from S to C.

Thanks for the help on those names Matt. For now, I have decided to finalize each of these names as:
Chronoschneeweisschen (I am still thinking what Kamiya was thinking when he made this surname up lolz)
Andalfite

In other news, I have been discussing what happened to the mahoutsukai after Ragnarok, and it seems like all the winners, like you said, retained their magic and were able to go into fullaccess mode. So I would guess that the mahoutsukais not shown were either turned human again, or were defeated by the Holy Knights before the game started since they were not able to access fullaccess mode.


Also, the opening for Kadenz fermata will be titled "fermata ~Akkord:fortissimo~" sung by fripSide. The sample can be heard here: fermata ~Akkord:fortissimo~

Edit: Julius' surname is confirmed to be spelled Chariowald in one of the new wallpapers from the site.

Really looking forward to this game, but it's a bit sad that Odin won't have a major role. I guess Odin would break the balance in the game. Might also feel weird due to Sayuki's seiyuu changing.

Thanks for all the news!

More news. This time, it is images and screenshots.

Anyone see the family resemblance?


The new Sakura character art


Some in-game screenshots showing the new and old characters. At least the in-game sprites for the older characters haven't changed, though it would feel weird seeing them pair up with the newer character's sprites since the artist changed his style a bit.





























Edit: The full version of the opening has been released. Anyone who wants the download link, pm me.

fermata ~Akkord:fortissimo~ is actually better than I thought. I guess they showed us the repeated parts, but there are some variety within the song. Now if only we could see a new pv with this opening...Hopefully by the end of this month or early next month is when we get a new pv.

So, who else is excited for Kadenz fermata this winter? I will be pre-ordering it on the day it gets on Amiami just to get that soundtrack CD and the paper knife. And also to get that costume code. fortissimo x the science fiction series will be awesome to see. We already get a glimpse of Freya as Kurisu, Alicia as Feyris, and Mikoto as a Tanegashima student.

Looking good so far.

Wonder if Freya will be a tsundere too?


That maid outfit totally fits Alicia.


I guess any school outfit fits Mikoto.

Kadenz fermata will be at TGS next week!!! Look forward to the new pv. To get the hype started, here are some screenshots from the pv:




And is this what I think it is? Animated sequences from the PV too! At least I think it is animated cuz that quality looks way too good and smooth to be a cg.



Also, some character card you get if you attend the TGS from the 5pb. booth

THE NEW PV IS FINALLY OUT!!!



The animated scenes were AWESOME!!! Though they were only in Freya and Julius's segments. The voices fit the characters very well, though Freya's voice was not what I had expect. The cgs shown was also beautiful. The bgm also brings a refreshing feel to the battles in the future. This was only the Seven Holy Knights PV, so we will probably have the Mahoutsukai side PV soon.

So, any predictions on the battle match-ups between the Mahoutsukai and the Holy Knights? So far, there are three battles that have been confirmed:
Reiji vs. Freya (as if this wasn't obvious)
Nagisa vs. Faust
Ayane/Valkyrie vs. Alicia

These are my predictions for the rest:
Ryuuichi vs. Irmfired (both are pretty powerful guys with a powerful defense to boot)
Sayuki vs. Julia (both have long ranged firearms)
Momiji vs. Mikoto (process of elimination?)
Jin vs. Rudra (battle of egos)

The battle system demo video you mentioned in the in the club comments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfjnIM_SoaM) looks amazing. I love how Freya attacks Mikoto mid-sentence at 3:40, and the narration says that Freya is cutting to pieces both Mikoto and her words. Now I really want to play this personally, without foreknowledge or assistance (I'll be fading away from threads with spoilers once it comes out).

As far as I can tell, the battle system doesn't use the accelerometer, so I still don't understand why Kamiya said "this is a game that's only possible to make on the Vita". I hope it was just marketing nonsense and that the PC version will come eventually. I'm willing to wait.

Twitter Icons that La'cryma released today. Glad to see some of the other mahoutsukai.

Kiseki Side


Mahou Side


Edit: So huge update from La'cryma today with lots of pictures. More icons, wallpapers, and some interesting reveals.

First, screenshot time!

So the protagonist system is back. This time, you get to choose between Freya or Reiji, though I know which side people are going to choose. XD



Looks like a spread sheet for all the days and paths you've chosen. Found something interesting in this one (hint: look at the bottom left). Vorspa is definitely controlling the Seven Knights.


Second, found something that peaked my interest in this pic (the blue and red ones): Is Freya suddenly a devil and Sakura an angel? Lol looks like a black aura behind Freya and Sakura grew wings.


Third, some more icons and wallpapers for Twitter. Putting them in spoilers to save space.

Kiseki Side:

Icons


Wallpaper


Banner


Mahou Side:

Icons


Wallpapers


Banner


Fourth, seems like the system page has been updated too with a sample spreadsheet of what your 'routes' could be in the game.

Last, the official names of the members of the Holy Knights have been revealed. Can't believe I actually got 6/8 of the members' names correct.

Julius=Chariowald
Irmfrid=Burkhard
Faust=Norbert
Yuria=Chrono-schnee weizen (no matter how I look at it, this is a weird name...especially when you have three names as one surname)
Rudra=Andalfite
Alicia=Katharina
Amaterasu=Hirume Mikoto
Freya=Schwertleite

It was pretty hard to make out these names with that font they used. And that SAMPLE did not help either

Oh nice! How was the gameplay and story so far? Lmao even Julius knows they didn't stand a chance if Odin the god of hax was still a mahoutsukai. Lucky for him, he is at home enjoying his time with his waifu.

Interesting so far they brought up a term -
. Right now the Kiseki side is preparing and they are explaining powers and tactics. I didn't really have the time to translate the non-voiced Japanese parts as it takes me a 2-10 mins per line. Going by the voiced only parts the new characters have interesting personalities, especially Irmfried, as he reminds of Iskandar from Fate/Zero.

Heh, I knew Irmfrid gave off some Iskandar vibes. I think I have seen that 'term' as I was translating something related to Kadenz. Not sure where I saw it though. So, anything new on the Mahou side? Or is the Kiseki side the only playable side for the demo?

Nice. Figured it would showcase our fortissimo characters living their normal lives again. The full game is coming out in 2 days (maybe 1 more day depending on your time zone). Hopefully we get to see some gameplay on youtube. My copy probably won't be coming until Christmas. Should probably get a Vita soon too.

Normal lives didn't go on for long...


Also I can't tell if Sayuki's seiyuu really changed, as she only had one voiced word in the demo. I guess I have to wait until the full game to find out. I feel as though the sound quality on the vita is a step down from the visual novel, possibly to keep the size of the game smaller.

I recommend the old OLED screen vita, I bought a refurbished one from Gamestop, they have a better quality screen than the new one I believe.

Nice! Thanks for the spoilers Rizor. I saw some spoiler screenshots of some scenes in the game, and I gotta say, Kadenz is going to be a wild ride. From the screenshots I saw, it was disappointing that some of the sprites don't even fit the Vita screen. Also, it is a shame that the sound quality dropped from PC to Vita. Hopefully we get a port soon.

Onto some of the things you mentioned:
- Alicia does have a split personality. You could see her shadow in the Mahou side opening. Not sure if you've seen her in-game, but she looks creepy as hell.
- The third party could be Camellia (that green-like entity that is shown in the characters page) controlling the armor. Also, the weapons look like Julius's (I don't blame you for mismatching the two since they both look nearly the same)
- Lol "Barrier Jacket" reminds me a lot of Nanoha. Except it does the opposite, which I find ironic

Can't wait to get my hands on the game itself. It's a shame that I might have to buy the discount package for the Vita (the one with Borderlands 2). Not sure if that is the good or bad one though.

Lol, I just looked at some of the promo pics of Julius and the main Kadenz fermata logo, didn't realize Julius use those weapons. The demo does show a scene of Alicia with a scythe, interested to see how her role in the story will turn out.

Hmm... Also about Camellia I just check the profile page, seems like it may have a connection with Freya and Julius. At the end of the demo
looks like the story is something to really look forward to.

I feel like that I may put the effort to translate at least the important scenes to fully understand the story.

The Vita slim does include 1gb of internal memory so it's not a bad deal and the battery life is longer as well.

Saw the demo version playthrough by a Twitch user and the livestream that was going on this morning, and I gotta say, I am impressed. The fights look pretty good, and that soundtrack is epic.

Glad that the Vita slim is good, cuz I'm getting it this week.

Edit: Finally got my game. First playthrough is going to be all about the Kisekitsukai. Just finished my first 'playthrough'. La'cryma trolled us good by making the first playthrough one where you have to lose to the OP'ed final boss. Also, the battle system is pretty hard.
