The big news in this week's Falcom newsletter are the first exclusive screenshots from Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter, the direct sequel to Eiyuu densetsu VI Sora no Kiseki. The game is apparently not considered the 7th installment of Eiyuu Densetsu, therefore making the newfounded Sora no Kiseki series a spin-off from Eiyuu Densetsu, which itself is a spin-off from Dragon Slayer. Sora no kiseki SC will feature new maps, monsters and battle system. The main protagonists will be Estelle Bright and Yoshua Astray, but the old heroes will be back as well, mostly as supporting cast. The Sora no Kiseki drama CD we reported on earlier will serve as a bridge between the scenarios of the two games.

Now that Xanadu Next is out, the next game release related to Nihon Falcom is Bandai's PSP port of Eiyuu Densetsu V Umi no Oriuta, scheduled for January 12th. There is a new webcomic to check on the promotional website, Umi no Oriuta Episode EX From Eyes of Una. There will also be a printed version of the comic in the December issue of Bandai Games' promotional magazine Side-B, distributed in specialized stores next week. Finally, don't forget to download the latest Falcom calendars.
