Several screen shots, videos, and brief Bios on characters they showcased so far.
I am really excited for this game I love the series and only felt it to be stale with 4.(The story went to crap the extra modes were terribly executed. The character creation was terrible as well.)
I am really shocked they decided to axe the female lead Sophitia. And little disappointed they have at least 2 new styles in the realm of fiction.
However those are the only two negatives I've seen so far and I am really psyched to play with Sophitia son although he has over righteous prick written all over him.
