Will be have an almost simultaneous Arcade-Console Release in 2017. Published by In-Verse and Orange Soft in Japan through the System 202: Endymion. It also will be ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, Zeo and GigaCom. A PC version is planned and set to be released simultaneously with the Japanese Dubbed Release.

In Japan the Console version will be referred as: "FEAST Senki: -2nd sign- Mighty" which is in fact, an updated title like how Final Edition was.

This is the ninth (seventh if the Arcana Warriors sub-series if doesn't count, sixth without White Void) final installment of the non-canon sub-series and all entries as a whole.

This is the first game since Black Strings Carnival: Last Song that has an M rating, albeit originally rated T before the rating upgrade for controversy about violent scenes.

The main themes of this game are: Alternate Time, Retribution, Renaissance, and Revelations.

They confirmed a third version to be released in early 2018, and coming as patch to all the Mighty versions, called: ''The FEAST Saga: Fight it Out! -2nd Sign- Revolution''. And is the final Wii U game of In-Verse alongside The Legend of Vanessa: Wind of the Night.

Development
Pauly-kun stated that this project started because of the cliffhanger of the previous game, it was because the team wanted to introduce Story Mode DLC, however, it was scrapped because it would cost too much for a spin-off. However, the sequel Idea is intended to be shorter, less interesting than the first, but completing that team most desired: Anthem's appearance.

The chanting is back from ''Fight it Out! "Act (up to 6, then the seventh is Climax and eighth is Final). Scene (up to six, then the seventh, fifth, third or just one is Final), Fight it Out!" with the difference that now, instead of "Limit Surpassed!" and the twelve bell chimes, instead says "Time's up''." with a big bell chime.

And the game isn't an update, but "A sequel of a sequel of many sequels", because of the notable differences. Pauly-kun admitted that Novel franchise would be a better idea or even a comic book series.

Valeria Lindbergh-Lane from VSRFX was included at Pauly-kun's petition, since there's almost no physical fighters. Emily Fontaine from The Adventures of Vanessa came to here to commemorate her series 10th anniversary. A third Guest confirmed for Halloween, Vladimir "Vlad" Arcos from the Dark Masters of the Night series, also confirmed Alto, a new DLC character, and another returning character from the series Letizia Fen Ling was confirmed.

A message after the ending the Arcade Mode and Story Mode will say the following - "Thank you for all those years of support to The FEAST Saga series, we love you fans a lot, and keep on rocking! -Greetings from In-Verse Team Feast."

There was a poll with a new playable character chosen by the public, it was cancelled due to time constraints.

The First trailer was to be released in September 16, however, due to the earthquake in Illapel, Chile delayed the screenings to September 20, instead showing a prepared scene of the Opening made personally by Pauly-kun released in September 17 referred as "Teaser -2", it was also written in the site Deviantart, which can be seen here. A trailer is available at September 20, featuring all new mechanics, characters and story mode glimpses which can be seen here.

Themes
The themes of the game is "Dark side of the human race", "The end of the World", "Man vs. God", and continues the trend of the Dark side of the entertainment industry. The Original Set of the Story mode is a big social criticism.

Pauly-kun portrays the people of the main setting, not involved with the conflict as ignorant, angsty, evil, ambitious, and selfish, not only this extends to the main Country, but also the entire world not involved with the war, not even kids are safe, however, this happens because how they became after the events of the First Fight it Out game, because they were easily corrupted by their own, and thus, Anthem started the plan to destroy the earth.

Magic vs. Technology also plays a big role in the game like the fist Original set, in a massive, bigger scale. Also, like the other games of the franchise, this is a gray vs black fight.

This game also touches in a smaller scale the theme of bullying, which androids are affected as such by the humans.

The ending will affect the entire world as it changes its cycle.

Gameplay
Basically the same as the previous Arcade installment, Final Edition. However, it'll add the console versions controls, and capable to transfer the player's gamer card with the results to each console.

A new addition to the game is done of the way of a "Super Aura" (Provisional name), that you can activate during certain seconds, if you are at the limit of your life bar, the Aura lasts longer; The Supers in said form are stronger and the Fantastic Attacks have the same effect.

Unlike the first game, this time features an Assist mechanic that can be used the times as is listed, also the team mechanic is back, with the trio plus the assist working.

The Mecha battles will be faster due to the reduced size of the roster.

Also In-Verse announced that the roster will be smaller due to testing the new models resembling those from Dragon Ball: XenoVerse and camera styles are more Dynamic, the game will have newcomers.

The Roster will Feature 30+ Playable characters and 50+ assists for the Arcade version, were as the Consumer version has 40+ Playable characters. The biggest in the series history.

As Maxima Firestone predicted that neither the Black Blood, nor the Ragnarök can save the world. Team FEAST associates with the Arcana Warriors, The Anthem trio and some others trying to avoid the possible result of the catastrophe that would end in world ruin ending.

Instead of the Canon Series Setting Luxendria, Fight it Out! Setting Nameless and Music Road's Cira. The game will be set in the super modern Countries of Schiel, Farheim, Gallia Kingdom, the Purgatory and the Otherworld.

Arcade Mode (Exclusive to Arcade Version from Vanilla and Mighty)
Time Released characters and Rhyme since Act 2, Console Version Characters since 3, Mighty since Act 4, Revolution since Act 5 (Console before it). Sienna was sent in a Field Mission from FEAST into the eleventh city of Nameless when a bomb threat occurred for unknown causes, a mysterious tall humanoid creature with a childish voice and mannerisms called Rhyme apparently was the responsible of this. Cadenza, Reed and Melody join forces with FEAST to avoid the evil plan being stronger than ever, however unbeknownst of the team Rhyme is actually a GOD, or at least, half of it. Genesis and her team find out that Rhyme's real identity is no one other but Rhyme, the creator, however it is stated that the god was split, so it means that Rhyme is the Evil Anthem. Another faction does a move, the Arc laboratories, updated Phase 9, called Geminia, a Sienna Clone, also guided by Anthem. Cassius (Zeta) and Brutus (Mu) confirmed their real motivation, killing Caesar who is guided by Divine's intervention, so it will not easy to kill him. Maya was captured by an unknown enemy of name Beltran Camus, an immortal poisoned young man and Anthem's most trusted servant, forcing herself to transform into Harbinger. As Rhyme continues its plan to destroy the universe, defeating the military forces of Schiel and but also giving some counseling to them. An disadvantageous move for the heroes is that Rhyme fought in its mech and injures Sienna badly to the point that she is almost dead and in a vegetative state, the mech also suffered a huge damage to the point that needs reparation. Leon Mercury, a popular musician who came to break expectations and became instantly in Blake's rival, but his focus aside of fighting him, is helping Sienna as a provisional leader, taking over Type-Z Ragnarök that was given back. Someone stole the Type-Chaos Ragnarök, rumored to be Jonathan, Eliza also doesn't want to wait to fight and uses Type-Cosmos, the Three Ragnarök gather with the veteran fighters to fight back Rhyme, it is its first defeat, but who in turn, defeated Geminia and took her body to transform into its second form. Cadenza and Genesis join forces with their respective teams, Alto a mysterious bounty hunter saved Ballerina from being the true bait of Anthem, Tusk and Caesar save Maya from her death in the hands of Kai, Sienna wakes up, takes away her hospital suit and puts her uniform, recruited by Jam in their customized F1 car, goes with the help of Mondo, Melody, Maya, Joker and Reed when they played for the band. Anthem in its semi-fullest form uses Cadenza's mind to make her suffer and Blake's persona while the real one is with Rose and the rest, doesn't last too long, because Anthem steals Sienna's first kiss and punches her, returning its Super Rhyme form. Claudius and Caesar fight Zeta, who reveals herself to be a relative of the first, and she dies saying but graces Anthem. The Real Blake and Leon faced Beltran Camus, with the latter dying after an honorable, long battle, he says that he really enjoyed it, saying the same as Zeta, finally, after many battles, the three ladies ended their duties in their respective teams. Sienna, Genesis and Cadenza face the ultimate enemy, a fused Anthem with four gods, however, Void escaped just in time leaving it defenseless, he fuses Type-X, Judgment (Replicant), and Golden Teeth to form a ultimate Mech from the ladies just for the final battle, while defeated the final god, the world is "recreated" for good, but those involved don't forget their friendship and happy experiences, while Sienna originally was the destined one to be the Light Anthem, the role ends to be given to Cadenza, who became the composer of the Ballerinas while also being a normal human with the name "Cadenza Travers", while other people think that she's a distant relative or a cousin.

The Story is basically, the re-awakening of Anthem, the god of creation and destruction that wants to destroy the world, but it will be stopped by three heroines, however, three bad guys join Anthem's league, Cyrus, Beltran, and Claudia. A new character, a ultra-problematic schoolgirl called Irma Sierra, who contrasts Lars' serious personality.

List of allusions

 * Rhyme is based on Michael Jackson, even it has his Smooth Criminal color palette and one of its Stance changes are named Moonwalker in allusion to his trademark dance shot and 1988 movie. And its quote references another Michael Jackson song, Who is it? from the 1991 album Dangerous.
 * Bell's nickname "Cowboy from Hell", is based in the Pantera album and Song: Cowboys from Hell, released in 1990.
 * Alto's baton resembles the Eternal Sonata weapon of Frédéric Chopin.
 * Sienna's Hardline is also the name of an actual band.
 * Shadow Dragon is also the subtitle of the remake of the first Fire Emblem game of the same name.
 * Anthem may be a reference from both the musical composition for celebrations, national anthems, but also the Japanese band.
 * The narrator chant is based on Sonic Colors Wisp chanting when Sonic summons the Wisps.
 * Phase 9 is a reference to Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round Kasumi Clone Phase-4, but different idea.
 * The transformations are reference to Guilty Gear Xrd series Dragon Install Sol mode.
 * Aura Mode is quite similar to Blazblue Overdrives, only in looks.
 * The rival scenes are similar to the Street Fighter IV games, instead of just text of the previous game.
 * Black Wall (Blake's new attack), is a song by Loudness, featured in The Law of Devil's Land album of 1983.
 * Leon Mercury's stage surname is based in Queen's legendary vocalist Freddie Mercury.
 * One of his attacks is Gravedancer, a song from Velvet Revolver's Libertad (Freedom in Spanish), final album of the band with the late Scott Weiland.
 * Cassius (Zeta Sextus) is based (like many of the characters names), in the Roman Republic character (full name: Gaius Cassius Longinus), a Senator and one of the leading instigators to kill Gaius Julius Caesar, and the brother-in-law of Brutus (full name: Marcus Junius Brutus).
 * Sienna's Void-Type Nemesis form is based in the controversial Genocyber Manga by Tony Takezaki and OVA by Artmic and directed by Koichi Ohata from Gunbuster fame as Robot Designer.
 * Many more references to real life things in the Story Mode.
 * The quick-time events are those similar to Asura's Wrath during some important, fight heavy cutscenes, and rhythm sections return for the sake of the classics.

Re-rating to M and Controversy
The game has been cited for Re-rating due to the fact that some story scenes contenples remorseless destruction, but with notable lack of blood, carnage and fanservice, swearing, glorifying Violence and insanity of some characters, in Japan. The game is censored to avoid being rated into "Z" (18+), such as dead bodies, the killings, etc.

The Writer's reason to such a thing is that: "Like in the second canon game, I wanted to show that humans are remorseless dicks, evil, ambitious pricks, even the most poorer ones, their actions have the consequences to turn them into zombies. And also, killing a few good ones to make the player feel guilty because they're given an albeit forced opportunity to kill a playable character in-game, I want to make them cry, suffer, feel bad for such actions... In a nutshell, I "hate my fans" (If I ever have them.)."

Adaptation

 * A 2-Episode OVA with 1-hour of duration each named The 2nd Sign - FEAST Battlefield Stories, with subtle differences from the game.
 * A Comic is published.

Reception
The game currently holds the second highest score in the series. With 93% of approbation. They praised the refined gameplay, faster mecha fights, and engaging music (despite many reused ones), but criticized the assist mechanics, calling them just for giggles and fun, and the story mode got mixed reactions due to the story being shocking, forced, stupid and ridiculous in many areas, compared to Black Strings Carnival: Last Song moments, and the true ending is considered as the biggest "WTF" of all among the series, even by the majority of In-Verse games standards, especially at being the end of the franchise.

The characters model graphics part got criticized for being too "bright in a grimdark set", however, they liked the color approach of the models and the capacity of doing their own colors.

Awards

 * The game was selected by Pauly-kun as the second best fighting game in "In-Verse: 10th Anniversary Book - Pauly-kun's Selection", only surpassed by Dream Revolution: Last Fire. Third place is VSRFX Origins.
 * The game was awarded "Fighting Game of the Year" in the 2015 Game Ideas Wiki Awards.

Trivia

 * Like Arcana Warriors 2: Howling Soul and The FEAST Saga: Mystery of the Galia Kingdom the Japanese Rating is the Mature CERO D (17+), opposed to the CERO C (15+) that the first Fight it Out! received for Violence. However, Black Strings Carnival: Last Song rating was justified.
 * It was almost rated M for Mature in America, but not as of 2016, it is rated to M for a controversy for certain violent-heavy scenes in the game, fitting more into the Canon Games.
 * Even some attacks were altered in favor of less Mortal Kombat inspired moves.
 * This game will have assist characters with different functions. Healing, stealing energy, etc.
 * Zeta Maximus/Sextus has a different seiyuu rather than the previous game, because she might be another person.
 * Same case for Irene in English.
 * Sienna due to constraints changed to Geminia's voice in Alto's Arcade Mode and Mighty and Beltran's stories in Revolution.
 * Reflect's moveset is an anagram of Alice's and Sebastian's combined due to the absence of the two. (For Story Reasons or for being Assists.)
 * Shin Geminia has a completely revamped moveset.
 * Alison has some altered command imputs to adapt her to The FEAST Saga ones.
 * Genesis and Mondo's appearances are based on their Howling Soul attire rather than their Arcana Warriors appearance. But their alternative free costumes are their old attires. Joker remains almost unchanged except the fact that its red ponytail is here.
 * Snow the Ballerina and Jet changed Hair colors, due to the fact that they reflect their current personalities and roles and to match the boy ones.
 * The first game had 54 characters, were as this has 54 playable + 54 assists to choose from, making in total 108 characters, twice than the original.
 * Is the third official appearance of Valeria Lindbergh in another In-Verse work besides the crossovers and her own series, the first was in The Adventures of Vanessa 3: Darkness and Light in the Wii U version, the second was a girl with her likeness in The Adventures of Vanessa 5: The Mightiest Iron Fist King, and finally in Dream Revolution: Challenge to the Ultimate Fight. Since she's the most "realistic" physical fighter, she gained the jump in highest distance skill, and is the only one that can break guard without being in Aura mode thanks to a Fantastic Combo that cost only half of a bar, she uses the Smasher Exodus as a canon foreigner, and due to the new game The Raven Crest - VSRFX Commemorating the 5th anniversary of the franchise. She will also appear in Crisis Moon III as a guest character, like Kiyo Kamiya is in 2nd Sign.
 * Emily Fontaine in the other hand, is her fourth official appearance outside of her series or Crossovers, besides being a bonus challenger in the 2009 version of Dreamers of the Road, Re: Vengeance - Mark of the Bloody Soul (The spy who Saya was talking) and Dream Revolution: Challenge to the Ultimate Fight. She also appeared in Deviant Heroes. She uses an hybrid moveset and her character between her Super Battle and her Wind of the Night version of the character (Which combines technology, Super Aura, Alter forms), and uses a mech created exclusively for the occasion with the name of a Spin-off, as a coincidence Valeria from the sister franchise, is the 10th anniversary of the series as a whole with The Legend of Vanessa: Wind of the Night, just like the quite controversial Advent was the 5th anniversary game.
 * In Vlad's case, is meant to represent both Re: Vengeance and Dark Masters of the Night series rather than other characters, due to fitting in the game's setting more than the others and also trying to avoid easy predictions from the fans of the games, is one of the two guest characters that doesn't celebrate an anniversary season.
 * In Alison's case, she is meant to represent the Dream Revolution Saga series, she wasn't confirmed until the day of release, Tiberius and Agni were expected to appear in the first game, but scrapped for unknown reasons, instead, she enters in the sequel, also to celebrate her series' fifth anniversary, like the VSRFX series, her moves are altered to fit the FEAST Fighting games, however, she can revert back to her Last Fire moveset if selecting the Dream Revolution Style.
 * Kiyo Kamiya's presence is basically a collaboration as part of the Cross Code saga, and Orange Soft is the Japanese distributor of the series and creator of the System 202: Endymion, the current Arcade Machine for 2nd Sign, specially from the Creator's request to do so. The HADES Unit Mega-02 was created especifically for this game in base of the creator's description, in exchange, Valeria is included in CMIII. I s one of the two guest characters that don't celebrate an anniversary season.
 * Like in all The FEAST Saga Games, the Japanese dub is only available in the JP Console versions, with Only the Arcana Warriors, the guest, and the Fight it Out originals can talk Japanese in all versions.
 * The final 2nd Sign scenario, alongside White Void, appear abridged in In-Verse All-Stars Versus.
 * The Guest characters hail due to Pauly-kun's petition and per tradition of In-Verse, that each Grand Finale, there is at least a cameo of another character.
 * Vanessa from TAOV series was planned, but instead she was placed into the Arcana Warriors 2 video game, due to the latter game being more "fitting" and less dark.
 * Lancelot Axel Spencer was meant to be the Re: Vengeance representative, but changed into Vlad to avoid easy predictions from the fans.
 * The game was originally focused in three scenarios, with Sienna (Hero), Cadenza (Neutral) and Genesis (Dark), but this was either scrapped or in works.
