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

We learn of the return of the stern-but-kind Governor-General Griselda, that happens to be on Seiren Island for reasons unknown. She comes back from Ys: The Memories of Celceta.

On top of Griselda we also meet Austin, an aristocrat who loves all arts, including painting, sculpture and theater. He's quite narcissist and thinks he's a chosen individual.

Check the screenshots out below.
