Weekly Famitsu June/6 preview - YW4

Youkai Watch is going to be featured again in this week’s Weekly Famitsu!

In this issue, they seem to talk about how the new game has changed, the new ways to navigate and get around.

I’m not sure if they’ll include additional pages that they still haven’t shown (could happen), so after seeing these previews I think there’s not a lot of new information, just some new screenshots from the game.

This issue comes out on the 6th, will translate it when it comes out later!

STORY 1

Keita is just lazing around home when his mum asks him to run some errands, so off he goes! He and Whisper both depart when…

STORY 2

When Keita is done with his errands, they get out the store and Whisper suddenly starts acting weird!! Seems like he’s being possessed by Himojii. Keita decides to summon Jibanyan to battle him.

A look at how Sakura New Town looks now compared to the previous game.

STORY 3

After Keita is finally done with all the errands, he decides to go look for Fumi-chan so he goes to the school. Once he gets there, he discovers that Fumi-chan is actually Monomanekin!! Where is the real Fumi-chan?

Whisper receives some urgent news on his Youkai-pad, the Youkais seem to be lining up at Oomori Mt. because there seems to be a treasure! So they decide to go to Oomori Mt. to check it out.

At the top of the line, there seems to be a Gasha machine. What kind of treasure will come out of it?

STORY 4

They try their luck and get a mysterious key. Suddenly, a shining dog appears, Keita and co. decide to follow it and discover a weird door!

After opening the door with the key they just got, it looks like it connects with another world!

Beyond that door… Natsume’s world?!

YW Medal Wars info so far

Hello everyone! Since there probably won’t be any new updates about YW4 until next week (Corocoro releases on the 15th and there’s apparently going to include and special YW4 guide book) I thought it’d be fun to talk about the upcoming app: Yokai Watch Medal Wars!

I’m honestly not into any of the apps they’ve released to far, but this one seems like it’ll be pretty fun so play.

BATTLE SYSTEM

The battles are on real time but also semi-automatic, you’ll be able to have up to 6 youkais in your team but only 3 will battle, you’ll be able to switch youkais any time. You can also use each yokai’s Special Attack and there are apparently some new Special Attacks in this game.

When you change between the youkais, you’ll be able to trigger the Change Skills. These skills are able to inflict some status changes on the enemy (burn, freeze, paralyze…) or making your team stronger.

CUSTOMIZATION: AVATAR & ROOM

You’ll be able to customize both your character’s appearance and your room’s in this game. Here’s a short clip showcasing that:

Seems like when it comes to room customization, you’ll be able to change even the smallest details! You can even choose which trophies to showcase. Of course, you’ll also be able to summon your favorite youkais (as long as you have their medal) and you’ll also be able to talk with them. You can also take pictures of your room and visit your friend’s.

So far there’s no information about the use of NFC to connect with the Youkai Arcs, but since the Arcs have been teasing the possibility of not only using them for YW4 but for apps too, I think it’d could be a thing since you can also use them on Yokai Watch World.

There’s no confirmed release date for Medal Wars, but they’ll probably release it within this year. Seeing how the preregistration goal rewards have all been completed, it won’t be long. In the meantime, you can also preregister (事前登録) on the site using your email address, following them on twitter or youtube, adding them on LINE or if you have an android device, on the app’s page.

YW4 Battles: Keita

When you’re controlling Keita, you’ll be able to freely change controls between him and the youkais on the battlefield.

Changing between the characters is all part of the new battle strategy.

During battles, one of the most important element is the “Youki” (妖気), or Spirit Orbs/Energy.

Keita starts the game having several commands:

The first one is Youki Sutooru, (妖気スイトール), “Spirit Energy Drain”, in which you’ll use your watch to drain enemies of their Spirit Energy, you’ll gain Youki Powers (YP for short), which you can then use for different skills.

The second one is the “Youki Shot” (妖気ショット), “Spirit Shot”, which is a simple long range attack in which, was the name says, you shoot some Youki bursts.

There’s also the Genki Okuuru (元気オクール), “Send Energy”, command, which lets you cure your fellow youkais using YP.

And finally Tsuranuki Spiral (つらぬきスパイラル), “Piercing spiral”, another long range attack which seems to be more effective than the Youki Shot.

You also seem to be able to change these attack’s “type” using the “ZR” button. The site also teases the possibility of being able to learn new abilities.

When it comes to the youkais, looking at the screenshots that have been released so far, they seem to have less abilities available, but that *might* change depending on the youkai’s rank or level?

2019 May Corocoro - YW4 updates

Most of these updates are lacking some “context” because there isn’t a lot of information about the game but I’m guessing they might update the website soon.

First of all we got a picture of all the playable protagonists of the game, there are 6 playable protagonists and 4 different worlds: Natsume’s, Keita’s, Shin’s and the Yomakai where the youkais live (it also seems like the city has been made bigger since YW3?).

They also tease a bit more about the battle system, you’ll be able to change between your character/youkais. Every protagonist is a bit different.

You can see a bit more of the Yomakai on the right page.

There’s a new method of befriending youkais called “Kon-katsu”, seems like after fulfilling certain terms, you can get them to meet you.

New info about how to use the toys in the game:

A (normal arcs / white): keys you can use in the game

B (special color arcs / black-others?): if you get several of them, you can get special items

C (miracle arcs / pink): you can get keys that makes miracles happen

D (spirit sword U rare ark / sword): you’ll be able to battle the Kenbu Majins (Devil sword-men?)

If you get the physical edition, the youkai arc given with the game will give you an item called “Triple Nyanclaws” (no info about what its use).

Not included in Corocoro but worth mentioning: the digital version will include Hyakkihime (S Rank).

Also shown on this page: some upcoming Arcs releases: Orochi from the DX Arc series and Youkai Arc K Miracles 2nd.

Two God youkais: the Wind God and the Thunder God.

And that’s all for today!
