Today Nihon Falcom released a batch of direct feed screenshots of Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, releasing in Japan on July 21st for PS Vita and next year for PS4.

We get to see Uura, Hydra, Minos and Nestor, four important characters of the game, whose motives are mysterious.

Uura always keeps his (or hers) features covered by a shroud. It's impossible to distinguish his expression, and he has met Dana before during a certain mission. Hydra's appearance resemble an aquatic creature. He seems to know a lot, and his behavior is quite calm and collected. He's known for his ability to make a reasonable judgement.

Minos looks like a beastman, and has a large body. He's rough and temperamental, and appears to look down on human because of their small frame.

Nestor is somewhat similar to a human in physique, but his appearance is widely different. He's very rational so much that he usually appears cold.
