This week had Famitsu look back at Shadow Hearts Covenant. The 2nd game in the trilogy was releases on February 19th 2004 in Japan. The article is look back as Kawachi sums up as fan sharing one of there found child hood memories.
We usually get some art work from Wild Rose to commemorate a anniversary btu that has not been kept up as they focus on Penny Blood and trying to make it happy. Still it is nice to see other share there memories of the series. Especially one of the trilogy best entry. Many fans including myself favor Covenant as the best entry. Given how it landed as a cult classic you can see why.
To me after being hooked by the original I was on board for the sequel and was satisfied with what we got. A game rich in combat with character that were memorable for flaws and strength. From Joachim being a great fighter to him basically being part of the story comedy duo one cannot help but like the crew you are hoping will save the world. I will put the article translated and original passages below. Original just encase the translation is off. You can also check out the original article in the link.

22 years ago, 2004/(16)2/19, was the day when the PlayStation 2 software “Shadow Hearts II” was released by Alze.
“Shadow Hearts II” is an RPG produced by Saknos, a company independent of Square (now Square Enix), and was released by Alze.
Alze is famous as a pachislot and pachinko maker, but “Shadow HeartsThe series is equipped with a “judgment ring” that determines the success or failure of an action with a roulette wheel that can be pushed, which may have been inspired by pachislot. In addition, “Shadow Hearts II” has actually been converted into a pachislot, and this one was installed as a system in which the “Judgment Ring” changes the number of BIG tickets obtained by pressing the timing of the LCD. It was a media development unique to Alze.
As the title suggests, this work is a sequel to “Shadow Hearts”, and the story after the bad ending in which the heroine dies in the previous work is depicted. I had a crush on “Shadow Hearts”, and although I thought that the bad ending would be canon, when I played it, it was such a masterpiece that it is now one of my memories.
Set in 1915, six months after the start of World War I, the first part is set in Europe and the second part is set in Japan. The main character is the bad Gala Ulmunaf Volte Huga (commonly known as your). The previous work was a bright character that soothed the dark atmosphere, but this work has become even more comical and blurry. However, many of his fellow characters also play bokeh roles, so you may turn into tsukkomi.
The new heroine, Karen Koenig, was a valuable tsukkomi and was a presence that picked up the endless blur of his strong friends.
His companions are Joachim Valentina, a professional wrestler who is a vampire but has a lot of muscles, and Geppetto, who carries a doll that resembles his deceased daughter, Cornelia. Among them, the white wolf Blanca is unforgettable. Perhaps because Shuichi Ikeda is in charge of the voice, it is characterized by many parodies of a certain robot anime.
There are many gag developments, but the main character, your, is a character who tightens up where he closes, and there are also touching developments waiting for him. The subtleties of the characters’ minds are also well depicted, and the quality of the movie scenes is higher than in the previous work, so I am very impressed. It was really good at the end. I learned the meaning of love in this work. Really.
In battles, based on the aforementioned “Judgment Ring” system, there are “coordination” where friends work together to decide combos, and “Heraldic Magic” that allows anyone to use magic by equipping items, making it even more strategic than the previous game. Perhaps because the advantageous system was added and the difficulty was lowered, I was able to focus on the story.
In addition to Yasunori Mitsuda and Yoshitaka Hirota from the previous work, Kenji Ito and Tomoko Kobayashi also participated in the music. A number of wonderful songs made the game exciting.
On March 10, 2005, the complete version of “Shadow Hearts II Director’s Cut” was released. Furthermore, on July 28, 2005, a sequel “Shadow Hearts from the New World” was released, which is set 14 years later. After that, the series was discontinued, but in August 2022, the staff who developed the “Shadow Hearts” series gathered together to create a spiritual sequel. PENNY BLOOD (Penny Blood) has been announced.
In addition, the roguelike adventure “PENNY BLOOD: HELLBOUND” (Penny Blood: HELLBOUND), which depicts a prequel to “PENNY BLOOD”, It is released for PC (Steam) in 2024. If you are interested, please do it!
Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls latest build will have11 playable characters. The game will be shown at Arc World Tour 2025-2026 Finals. There we saw the previous character joined by the latest x-men edition. Which means players got to try out Wolverine, Magik and Danger on top of past characters. As such this will be the spot where we can learn more about all three of these new entries. Which is good as there is a lot to learn.
With each build the game will be closer to how it will be at launch which will have changes over all. But for these characters it will be a chance to see how Arc System will interupt them for the game. Wolverine for instance has been in many MVC games over the years. But this will have playing with some of his moves have armor. Will that make him slower on some attack then before or will it be the same speed? How exactly will Magik install effect moves over all? These questions might be answered here.
The event will take place in Seol South Korea on March 20 to March 22, 2026. If we do hear any info about the game from that event I will let you know.
