New Bitsummit Footage, June 2019 (Minor spoilers)

I'd SOO love to watch all that right now but I have to restrain myself. I want to see no more of it before I actually get to play through the game.

I wonder why there was so much stuttering in the first video. In the switch trailer you can see the frame drops, but on the previous PS4/pc video it looked smoothed.

Daaaamn, why you had to tag me? SO MUCH to comment, i'm going to take a long time to analyze all this! But anyways...here goes:

---

From what i understand, the Pink Fairy Familiar can attack enemies with some kind of very weak magic that appears to give them some kind of status effect, although i couldn't get what really happened to them when they were affected, and she can also heal using itens, but i don't really know when she decides to do that. She also points secret places, you can see when she suddenly stops close to a wall, says something and just stand there, probably a wall to be broken.

---

You can see the fairies here, the enemies from where you get the familiar shard. Not only that, but this scenario looks like Garden of Silence, so, my guess is that Garden of Silence connects to the Tower of Twin Dragons.

---

At this scene, Miriam summons some different-looking bats to attack. These aren't the same as the demo bats and i do remember the design of a weird-looking bat being presented before. Considering the list of enemies (where that shows up in the videos?) shows it as "bat" i'm guessing either the first bat got axed, or they changed it, or something like that, because it doesn't look like the demo bat. Miriam also throws a huge bone here, probably from Bone Morte shard.

---

Here, we can see some kind of mechanism that can be manipulated with Miriam's hand, much like Galleon's Minerva door. At first, they said that the door on Galleon was there just to make the player used to spinning Miriam's hand around but it seems they also made some gimmicks with that. It is a nice move.

---

When IGA goes to the menu, we can see Miriam wearing some kind of gorgeous party mask, that save has more than 2 hours and 21% completion. 

---

IGA picks up the Poison Resist Shard, from a toad enemy.

---

Three things stands out at the Shard Menu: First, the Familiar Shard actually shows the familiar icon, instead of the colored shard icon, so, it is easier to identify what familiar is it. Second: IGA has two Skill Shards ON. We know that one is Double Jump but i wonder what is the other? Probably the Shortcut Skill Shard. Third: The shard types names here are the old version, for some odd reason. We were told that the names changed (Trigger became Conjure, Effective became Manipulative and Enchant became Passive). Weird...

---

This enemy (Shield Outsider, i think) was designed by a Backer. His Shard conjures a shield that Miriam can spin around to defend herself.

---

By the commentary, it seems that Shard crafting will be more focused on using jewels than anything else.

---

The backer portrait actually has a shard. I wonder how it works, because we didn't get to see it.

---

And, IGA himself, dies at the Valac boss, as to show how hard it is.


I really liked this footage, although this is the same scenario we saw before. I know nothing of japanese, so i can't help identify anything, but that was fun to watch.

---

That's all folks!

I could not really get a clear look at what the fairy looked like, but I did see it both healing and attacking, which is really nice.

Fairy was always my fave in Sotn.

uhhhhh.........yeah I need to stop looking at videos like this or else it's gonna be a very long 2 weeks

@bloodymiri
This video has a closer take

#1: Okay is it just me or does the JP version of the gameplay seem a bit more upgraded?

#2: The shield shard ability sounds like it would be a lifesaver against bosses with a penchant for ranged spam and it seems like Miriam at some point in the game will be able to summon bats, neat.

#3: I think the fairy around 11:45-ish in the first video was pointing out a breakable wall, it looks like they're going full SotN with familiars or the fairy is one of the more detailed ones.

#4: Wow that fire death animation is surprisingly disturbing, doubly so with the scream.

Overall looks pretty great! Not much else for me to say that hasn't been repeated.

Thank you for the corrections Galamoth !  I updated my list at the second post of this thread where I originally made the table.  Also I cross-referenced from a few wikis to double-check and sure enough you have been 100% on the dot.  I still have unfortunately never had the chance to play any of the PC demos and I gave myself only 10 minutes before posting to just guessing and taking long shots at what all the kana were referring to.

I thought "Savnuck" since for some reason I then remembered fighting Savnucks in one of the NES Dragon Warrior titles 

gunlord500 Though you might be absolutely right and all, I actually get the sense that Calibus is actually either the Knight Familiar or some other familiar of the Demon class.
When I think "Calibus" I think of the movie Clash of the Titans
