The Shin Mugen Kairou / True Dream Corridor and how it’s a randomly generated dungeon, independent from the main game, and where you unlock and play the mini games. Unlocking them works like a gacha. You get special stones by defeating enemies, and play a gacha with these tones, with Characters Episodes and Mini games as rewards. Certain stones can also unlock special characters that aren’t playable in the main game.
The Dream Corridor lets you use any character, as long as you unlock them, so you can make party combinations that are impossible in the main game. You can also use the Dream Corridor to train your characters as they’ll retain everything gained there in the main story.
Toshihiro Kondo and Chen Yun Yun also commented on some of the mini games in
Hajimari. They mentioned the quiz game Kiseki de Pon is really difficult and is made for
Kiseki Series otaku to fight each other on their knowledge of the series.
Beach de Vacances was also explained. Kondo mentioned how in
Trails of Cold Steel, Rean could end up paired with one of the girls. In this mini game, you control Rean and you’ll be able to play at the beach with these girls, with games like watermelon splitting. At first, it’ll only be the girls from
Sen no Kiseki and with Rean. But later on DLC will add
Zero and
Ao no Kiseki girls and we’ll play as Lloyd instead.
Next up they explained the Magical Alisa RS game. They made this one because the Mahou Shoujo DLC costumes in the past game were really popular and many fans wanted to see them again. Moreover, Magical Alisa RS has an actual storyline, linked with the Magical Alisa novel they published in the Falcom magazine. The RS in Magical Alisa RS means Return Shooting. Toshihiro Kondo also explained you need to progress in the Dream Corridor to unlock more stages of Magical Alisa RS.
Next up, we saw the early part of
Hajimari, the story prologue, which follows Lloyd’s perspective. Noel was the field character. The gameplay started at the 28:57 mark and lasted for around ten minutes:
Masumi Asano commented on Noel’s butt, saying it’s cute. Kondo said they pay a lot of attention to how each character looks from the back as that’s what you see the most .We most notably saw the tutorial for Valiant Rage and how it’s Tio explaining it in-universe to Lloyd’s party.
Following that, Masumi Asano played Magical Alisa RS on Easy Mode, and Shinnosuke Tachibana tried it on Hard Mode. Kondo joked saying it looks better than the main game. You can find that segment starting the 39:50 mark:
