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

"I know that the world is going to be over, but we will going to do our best in defending it!"

- Blake Snider as of the final chapter.

'The FEAST Saga: Fight it Out! -2nd/Second Sign- known in Japan as FEAST Senki -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 an almost simultaneous Arcade-Console Release in 2017. Published by In-Verse and ACS Softworks 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 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. Also due to the fans petition there are two releases: the subbed one and the dubbed one.

This is the ninth installment of the series, which thought to be of a finale, however, since the confirmation of Japanese-American developed The FEAST Saga: Rock Star Warriors, is no longer the case.

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 in story mode, something that the lead writer warned in many occasions.

The main themes of this game are: Alternate Time, Retribution, Renaissance, and Revelations. The game stars three ladies and one guy.

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. But also their first NX games, this port of this game comes with the subtitle NX Edition, which previews all future content while having exclusive contents only featured in this port.

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, more crazier than the first, but completing that team most desired: Anthem's appearance.

The chanting is back from ''Fight it Out! "Act (up to seven, then the eight is Climax and ninth is Final, and a tenth, "Surprise Act" with the three guests, Rhyme or Allegro will appear). 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.

Emily Fontaine from The Adventures of Vanessa came to here to commemorate her series 10th anniversary, 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.

Leon Mercury, a new character was confirmed in December 4, another returning character from the first Fight it Out, Freed Lenoir was also confirmed, ten days after, the 51st character, Kiyo Kamiya from Crisis Moon, ACS Softworks' most popular Fighting Game was confirmed, and the developers declared roster is complete and the game is on 85-90%.

At the release, they confirmed a 52nd character and assist, they were Lars Jagger from Z Edition and Rain, Leon's band manager. The first was confirmed thanks to early leaks.

There are also two post-launch DLC characters aside of Leon and Alto, these are top secret until March 16, in which they revealed Beltran Camus and Jam Winchester.

The third DLC Character was revealed to be Irma Sierra from ZZ Edition.

But the final characters to be confirmed were Lancelot Axel Spencer from Re: Vengeance series and original character Allegro.

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, Rhyme 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 final villain is meant to be a threat that is massive and creepy enough with a fake happy presence elsewhere.

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

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, 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 Combo 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 mecha roster, now only players can pilot one or two more mecha.

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, however the roster has the same amount in the updates, the game will have newcomers and alternate costumes.

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

There are mini games in the Story Mode such as the returning Rhythm games, Brand new mini games such as shooting, racing, and beat'em up an horde of enemies.

Story
After that desperate battle, the team catch a break of these calamities until shortly after, as Phase 9 starts and the world is about to end, the heroes and some of the bad guys must defeat Anthem, the god of creation and destruction that was divided in two sides. 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.

Instead of the Canon Series Setting Linoa a.k.a. 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.

The story also covers the events of the two Arcana Warriors games, albeit Howling Soul will be more relevant than the first, which was told in the first Fight it Out! Video game.

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 was avoiding Anthem's awakening, but she is a member of the Cult. She apparently is connected with Caesar's past, the name Cassius is also a fake stage name. She has a "ζ" in her mask's forehead. She's the sub-boss of the Arcade Version for most of the Act 1 characters, but later reveals that she's Camilla, twin of the original Cassius who passed away.
 * 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 childish. It states that it and Allegro are one of the same. Behaves like a well mannered, evil child, making its personality more complex. Many interpretations make Rhyme as born of the Darkness, in fact, it is the Dark Side of Anthem, from one boy who made a pact with it. Uses classic dancing moves. The Final Boss of the Arcade Mode.
 * 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.

 * 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 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. He's a DLC in the Consumer versions and is a starter in Mighty.
 * Shin Geminia (Shio in Japan): The ninth and final phase of the clone, she now has a bandanna instead of the masked girl of the previous Original Arc.

His fighting style is a fast rushdown, with a meter named: "Mind-O-Meter", whose three levels are different ranges, He's connected and related to the late Ron Sampson.

 * Beltran Camus: He's Rhyme's number two subordinate and the highest subordinate of the army at normal means. He has quite long fingernails due to the fact that he's an altered human. He blames the science for what they have done with his life and now he can't die, but has poison blood inside his body that can be lethal. A Bounty Hunter at higher levels than Alto. His personality is well mannered, albeit his voice is very emotionless, but obsesses over things if he fails. He's a DLC in Mighty and a starter in the NX Edition and Revolution.

Mobile/Portable Version

It includes 46 of the 55 characters, with no Assists ones. The Super Aura and the shield change are the only functions available of the new ones.

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 Camilla. A new character, a ultra-problematic three-years repeating rich 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 contemples remorseless destruction, but also some horror-like situations, but with notable lack of blood and carnage, but with fan service, swearing, glorifying Violence and insanity of some characters, in Japan and Australia the game is censored to avoid being rated into "Z" (18+) and R-18, such as dead bodies, the killings, etc.

Also the game was subjected into a PEGI 18 due to violence, but later censored the most violent parts in the final version.

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 approach of the models and the capacity of doing their own pallete swaps and alternate costumes.

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

 * The Anime Cutscenes are made by Studio 4°C and Studio anima.
 * Like 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 due to violence, blood and themes.
 * 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.
 * Also, some scenes were cut to avoid PEGI 18 and CERO Z (18+) in Europe and Japan.
 * The game is currently a MA15+ in Australia.
 * This game will have assist characters with different functions. Healing, Joke, stealing energy, etc.
 * Genesis is the only protagonist that is not playable in the demo. Mondo was chosen because his move set is revamped 75% with quarter circles instead of being a charge character in the previous game.
 * 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.
 * The Arcana Warriors' appearances are based on their Howling Soul attire rather than their Arcana Warriors appearance. But their alternative costumes are their old attires.
 * 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.
 * Or this had to do with 'Anthem's mind games', according to the developer.
 * The first game had 54 characters, were as this has 55 playable + 55 assists to choose from, making in total 110 characters, twice than the original.
 * As of Emily Fontaine, 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 Z as a boss. She uses an hybrid move set 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 Novel Spin-off, as a coincidence Valeria from the sister franchise in Arcana Warriors 2: Howling Soul, is the 10th anniversary of the series as a whole with The Legend of Vanessa: Wind of the Night, just like the controversial Advent was the 5th anniversary game.
 * Kiyo Kamiya's presence is basically a collaboration as part of the Cross Code saga, and ACS Softworks is the Japanese distributor of the series and creator of the System 202: Endymion, the current Arcade Machine for 2nd Sign, specially from the Publisher's request to do so. The HADES Unit Mega-02 was created specifically for this game in base of the creator's description, in exchange, Valeria is included in CMIII update EVOLVE -into-.
 * Lancelot Axel Spencer's presence aside from being the Re: Vengeance representative, it is because the character represents being part of a In-Verse dark franchise and a musician like part of the motif of the series, it was created a mech based in his Dark form, his style maintains largely unchanged from Dark Masters of the Night III: Of the End, save for a few changes and nerfs in his attacks, also in 2018, Revolution's patch Arcade release, marks the fifth anniversary of the franchise.
 * Like in all The FEAST Saga Games, the Japanese dub is only available in the JP Console versions, with Only the Arcana Warriors and guest can talk Japanese in all versions in Arcade and NX Edition.
 * 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.
 * Valeria from VSRFX was originally planned to be part of the roster, but since she's in Crisis Moon III EVOLVE, in exchange of Kiyo being in 2nd Sign, it was scrapped.
 * Vanessa from The Adventures of Vanessa series was planned, but instead she was placed into the Arcana Warriors 2 video game, due to the latter game being more "fitting" and has a more colorful theme. However, she appears in a cameo in Emily's ending.
 * Vlad and Alison Evans from Dark Masters of the Night and Dream Revolution Saga were planned, but scrapped.
 * Lars and Irma, from their portable sister series, were added at the last minute in their respective updates.
 * The game originally had a straightforward Story Mode to Original Set II, but changed into three Viewpoint characters alongside a final story and longer duration, with more mini games and more interaction.
 * Anthem and its variations are voiced by the lead writer, who is credited under her real name. Her performance was received with mixed reception.
