Falcom recently revealed two new characters for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana with Ricotta and Hummel, and they’ve provided a look at some screenshots and details on the newcomers.
Hummel
Age: 24
Weapon: Bayonet
Attack Attribute: Shot
Hummel is a “Transporter” that is full of mysteries and hides in Siren Island. He has nothing but pride in his work, and he doesn’t accept nothing else but absolute satisfaction from the requests he takes on. He’s also a bit of a neat freak.
He drifted to the island with items from a request, but he won’t say anything about the contents or the job. He uses a downsized cannon that is called a “Gun” which is a state of the art weapon.
Ricotta
Age: 12
Weapon: Whip Mace
Attack Attribute: Hit
Ricotta is a young girl who has been living on Siren Island before Adol and the others arrived. She’s an innocent girl and is always on top of her game. She knows a lot about the island’s geography and habits of the Ancients.
With all kinds of books that have washed up on the island, she’s learned about all kinds of information and languages, but the content from these material are biased, so she’ll occasionally use strange choice of words. She’s been waiting on her own for her father who left to explore the island…
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana will release in Japan on July 21, 2016 for PlayStation Vita and in 2017 for PlayStation 4.
