World Setting & Story
The young man awakens in a place he's entirely unfamiliar with -- a dream-like, unrealistic world. However, the monsters that attack him are real enough, and he hears this from a young girl who, like the protagonists, originally lived in a different world than this one: "We've been waiting for you to arrive." This "world" apparently gathers the souls of people from other worlds, and if it continues to imprison people in this manner, their homeworlds will disappear. In order to break the connection between this "world" and the other worlds and to release all the imprisoned souls, the young man sets off on his journey of adventure.
Protagonist: Kannagi Yuuto
The main character of the game. Has a straight-forward, quick-to-get-in-a-fight personality. Widely considered a problem child by those around him. Born in a renowned family of ancient martial arts practitoners and therefore skilled at jiu-jitsu, he's tired of boring, old-fashioned martial arts and has recently taken a fancy to shooting. According to him, his (shooting) ability is Olympic-class.
Heroine: Aiba Mikoto
A girl who was taken to Yuuto's home after losing both of her parents at a young age. Though she repeatedly demonstrated a sensitivity to the existence of spirits when she was young, she currently appears to be no different than any ordinary girl. Along with the disappearance of her special abilities, however, she's become prone to nightmares...

Urgent bulletin: Cross Edge
Game System Check!
Title: Release the souls imprisoned in a mysterious world!
The setting of the game is fashioned through the collection of souls from multiple disparate worlds, such as the demon world inhabited by the characters of Vampire and Makai Senki Disgaea, and the illusory world inhabited by the characters of Marie no Atelier and Ar tonelico. The goal of the game is to release various souls from imprisonment, and the storyline will advance once a certain number of souls have been freed. Release all the souls and proceed to defeat the source of all evil!

(Right screenshot caption)
Dungeons exist in each of the worlds. Search them in order to release the souls.
(Caption at bottom of section)
A world composed of elements from various alternate worlds
Battle: Direct Action Turn Battle
You'll encounter enemies while exploring the alternate worlds, and turn-based battles will ensue in which up to 4 characters may attack with various skills. You may assign skills to the Triangle, Circle, Square, and X buttons for each of your characters. An assigned skill will be activated with a single button press in battle... spectacular ecstacy! (I'm not making that up. -- Ed.) Chain attacks will occur when skills are used in consecutive sequence, so be prepared for the deep strategy and plethora of system elements born from this approach.
(Left screenshot caption)
After you use a skill, a chain attack will be established if you follow up with another skill usage within a certain time limit.
(Caption at bottom of section)
Activate skills consecutively and damage will increase!!
(Right screenshot caption)
By consecutively attacking an enemy, you decrease its defense value to zero and can then deliver massive damage with a single stroke.

Form Change
By releasing souls, you acquire special items called "Forms." By equipping Forms, your attributes will increase, and female characters' costumes will change when you view their status screens and when they appear during event scenes. There are many different Forms, including "Little Devil", "Casual Dress", and "Gym Clothes", and they possess various abilities and appearances. Considerations as to which of your acquired Forms you should equip constitutes part of the top-notch flavor of this game.
(Caption beside right screenshot)
The currently-equipped Form changes your costumes!!
(Labels for right screenshot)
From left to right: Casual Dress, Little Devil, Gym Clothes
Development Status: 70 Percent
An ultimate collaboration between the various makers that transcends the imagination, now is the time! The developers are determined to accentuate the appeal of their characters, so be sure to look for that.

Title: Comments from Satou Yoshiaki, Compile Heart Representative Director of the Board, have arrived!!
This work is like a dream come true for game fans, so let's give it a try -- that's what I thought when this project started, and it's a project that could not have been realized without the cooperation of everyone from the participating companies. Now that we've made it to the announcement stage, I'm particularly overcome with emotion. The staff of Agarest Senki were overjoyed to take on their dreams (with this project), and they're developing the game in a mood of great excitement! Certainly, please look forward to it!!

Once again, thanks to Kamatari47 for the translation.

Indignation211, thank you very much for your contributions! ^_^
It looks like Gust/Banpresto's Atelier and Ar tonelico battle systems has heavily influenced the one in this game.

RPGamer - RttS 2008 - NIS America Interview RPGamer "Does NISA think that X Edge has even a remote possibility of coming to North America?" JN: "Ahhh, I'm assuming you have seen X Edge from some of Japan's press releases. It's an awesome looking game with an amazing cast of characters. All of us in the office are craving to work on the game, but we aren't sure what's going on just yet. As soon as we get word from Japan about who's working on this game, we'll notify you." There were also comments about Ar tonelico 2 and Mana-Khemia 2.

*sigh* no new info on the game itself. I was hoping more would have come out while I was addicted to Persona 3, but alas.
Well at least NISA is interested in bringing Cross Edge over to NA. We'll have to wait until a while after its release to hear anything official in that regard.
Anyway is it possible to rename this thread? Since this is now not-so-new-news, maybe it should be called "Discussion: Cross Edge"
