The FEAST Saga: Fight it Out! -2nd Sign-

'The FEAST Saga: Fight it Out! -Second Sign- known in Japan as FEAST Senki: Fight it Out! -2nd sign-' (FEAST戦記 -2nd sign- (Sekkondo Sain) FEAST Battlefield Stories: Second Sign.) is a spin-off and the sequel of the popular The FEAST Saga: Fight it Out!. Will be have a 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, PlayStation Vita, New Nintendo 3DS, Zeo and GigaCom, with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 being digital only with limited Physical distribution in North America, and the second time that a FEAST Saga game comes to PC, the first was Feast of the Black Strings.

In Japan the Console version will be referred as: "FEAST Senki: Fight it Out! -2nd sign- HARDLINE"

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

The main theme of this game is: Retribution, Renaissance, and Revelations.

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 from VSRFX was included at Pauly-kun's petition, since there's almost no physical fighters.

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.

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 changed, 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 and 100+ assists. The biggest in the series history.

Playable

 * Zeta Sextus/Cassius: Cassius is a masked leader and Number six of a organization known as The Number Soldiers, her personality is very cold and ruthless towards almost everyone, even her juniors, she uses an axe for fighting and has lightning based attacks. Her duty is avoiding Anthem's awakening at many costs. She apparently is connected with Caesar's past, the name Cassius is also a fake stage name, as her real name is actually unknown. She has a "ζ" in her mask's forehead. She's the sub-boss of the Arcade Version.
 * Dr. Geoffrey Bell: A mysterious man with a scarred face and. Former member of the Firestone laboratories and now is an amoral mad scientist, his personality hides a dark wish, he actually wants to succeed in Maxima Firestone's failed plan with honoring her persona, he has a smiling face in public and is seen with a cigar very often. He has hazel eyes and long blonde hair, dresses like a cowboy and has guns. Appears in the Consumer Version.
 * Claudius: The only survivor of the Sages, he became an ally of the three servants of Anthem and not just for convenience, he doesn't uses the mask anymore as he formerly used it in the previous game, he uses martial arts and is short ranged in terms of attacks. His personality is hot headed, but has serious moments. He has red hair and Purple eyes. He's one of the few that can paralyze Zeta's magic powers. He appears in the Consumer Version.
 * Anthem: Full name - Anthem, the god of creation/creation's herald. Its true form is a golden mech with feathered rainbow wings. Anthem wants nothing but to fight. If it is merged with Snow the Ballerina, the end will appear. It has three servants: Cadenza, Reed and Melody, however. Its true intentions are awakening the "hidden power" inside of Sienna Travers due to the nature of her family's ancestry. But there are rumors that there are two Anthem, the good and the evil and has generally many times the power of the protagonists. The final boss of the game.
 * Rhyme: A mysterious character who adores playing a lot with its opponents, it has an eyepatch, is very taller than many of the others and its personality is very chidlish. It states that it and Sienna are one of the same. Behaves like a little girl then a older woman, making its personality more complex. Many interpretations make Rhyme as Sienna's darker counterpart like Geminia in the canon games or an Ballerina alternate or just a parallel existence. The True Final Boss of the Story Mode.

NPC

 * Brutus/Kappa Decimus: Cassius'/Zeta Sextus' best friend and alumni. He's a very shy man who doesn't want to destroy living beings neither kill them, he's forced by his superiors to eliminate the Three servants of Anthem. But he's too "weak" for do the job. However he has feeling that old memories are appearing to haunt him aren't from his past, but from other when he sees Sienna or relatives. His mask has a "κ" on the forehead.
 * Edwina Castle: She's a young girl and a fan of the Black Strings Band, she likes to help her family a lot, especially her twin sister Irene before her sudden passing in the last game at the hands of the DIVA and the Feast Comet Clones when trying to save Genesis. She still holds high regard for her. However, she stated that she won't give up and try to do her best as well.
 * Alto a.k.a. Polaris Raiden: A mysterious bounty hunter who looks like a gentleman, betrayer of the Number Soldiers. He's not very known aside of a few bounty hunting showdowns. He has dark blue hair and his eyes are more lighter blue than the others, this could mean that he can use magic too, however, his magic is like Cadenza's and not the Sages or Anthem's magic types. He has an Akatana and has a strange code of honor even by the series standards.
 * Shin Geminia: The final phase of the clone, she's still the masked creature of the previous Original Arc. However, she talks and is more fond of playing video games, helping others rather than the cold hearted warrior that she was in the First Phase, like Sienna, she loves bikes and family. Even tries to make friends.

Trivia

 * Like Arcana Warriors 2: Howling Soul and The FEAST Saga: Mystery of the Galia Kingdom the Japanese Rating is Mature (CERO D/17+), opposed to the CERO C (15+) that the first Fight it Out! received for unknown reasons.
 * This game will have assist characters.
 * Zeta Maximus/Sextus has a different seiyuu rather than the previous game.
 * Same case for Irene in English.
 * 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.)
 * 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.
 * Zeta's real full name is "Zeta Sextus" (Coincides s the 6th letter of Greek Alphabet) real name Cassius 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). Brutus is also the name of Zeta's ally, who's referred as Kappa (10th letter of Greek Alphabet) and has a mask with a "κ" in his forehead, and a important NPC.
 * Anthem has the longest theme duration in the series with a 7:44 of duration, surpassing the previous boss theme.
 * The first game had 56 characters, were as this has 44 + 102 assists to choose from. (Only the the 50 FEAST Related ones plus Time Master will be in the portable versions.)
 * Is the second 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, the second was a girl with her likeness in The Adventures of Vanessa 5: The Mightiest Iron Fist King. 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 Type-X Ragnarök as a canon foreigner, and due to the new game The Raven Crest - VSRFX.
