Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven is coming to the 3DS Nintendo eShop June 4th in the EU, courtesy of Marvelous. We know it’s a JRPG with a combat system not unlike Valkyria Chronicles, but we don’t know all too much about the characters yet. Or do we? Marvelous has released a character trailer that thankfully takes us through all the main characters:
Graphically it resembles some of the Rune Factory and Harvest Moon games, which makes sense considering the developer. It looks like it could be shaping up to be pretty good! It’s a bit of a shame we’re not getting a physical release, but digital is better than nothing, right?
And here’s their longer-form information about the characters, if the trailer isn’t doing enough for you!
Luchs Eduard
The owner of Famille Inn on the outskirts of Luneville. Recent events have made his normally pleasant and quiet life anything but, yet he can’t help but wear a smile through it all. Immeasurably kind, he takes pride in looking after his own, and places the concept of “Family” above everything else.
Charlotte
Nickname: Lottie
A bubbly faerie who was found encased in a massive crystal. Easy-going and sporting an infectious smile, she makes herself right at home at Famille Inn as a live-in maid. Unfortunately, while she’s a first-rate fighter, her domestic skills could use some more fine-tuning — something that’s particularly apparent whenever it’s her turn to cook dinner.
Beatrix
Nickname: Trixie
A self-proclaimed perfectionist who handles all daily chores at the inn with aplomb, especially cooking. She has a kind heart and is willing to jump through hoops to ensure that those around her are taken care of, even if playing the big sister can be a trying task. Her personal motto is: ”Efficiency is a fine companion to visual presentation.”
Elfriede
Nickname:Frieda
Was geht? An eccentric faerie who peppers her speech with foreign words from the east -though that’s the easiest thing to understand about her. A brilliant mind who’s far from shy, she divides her time between saying things that are a little less than appropriate and building new inventions, all for the sake of making those around her happy.
Gabriele
Nickname: Gabbie
The youngest of the seven sisters. She is one of the most social members of the family, having recently made some loyal subjects-er… FRIENDS- in town. Her bossy attitude comes solely from a desire to present herself as an independent adult, and the fact that she has a long way to go before she gets there is the root of much insecurity for her.
Diana
Nickname: Di
A born warrior and a brilliant strategist. Spending much of her life honing her spear-fighting skills has resulted in her missing out on some basic social etiquette – making her prone to some rather strange behaviour from time to time. Still, at her core, she’s a sweet girl with an honest heart.
Francesca
Nickname: Fran
A warrior who fights first and asks questions later. Her dedication to exercise is second to none, and she’ll often work out from sunup till sundown. Part of her does it out of true passion, but part of her also does it to avoid interaction with others – not because she doesn’t want to, but because she finds herselves behaving too awkwardly to hold a real conversation.
Adelheid
Nickname: Addie
The eldest of her sisters. Beautiful, strong, elegant and intelligent, she handles her position as the oldest with ease and has no shortage of admirers. However, most can sense that even with her perfect smile and perfect demeanour, she has her limits… and it’s best not to test them.
Some people know me as "PoshAlligator", others by my actual name, Oscar Taylor-Kent. I'm a fan of stylish action games and adventure games, think Devil May Cry or Ace Attorney, and I'm still awaiting the perfect combination of the two genres (it was not Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, unfortunately). Interested in anything that isn't boring. I also did most of the localisation for Gal*Gun: Double Peace, so take what I say about it with a grain of salt! Follow me @MrOscarTK on Twitter!
