Good day, folks!
You knew it was coming, so let us begin right away!
Ninetail Festival
Homura
Backer: ホムラ隊長ファン (Captain Homura Fan)
The security guard captain of a certain company.
Destroying any wall or barrier with his bare fists, he is coloquially known as the 'Bulldozer' by his subordinates. Just his presence on the battlefield fills his comrades with courage and raises their morale.
Puppet Princess Lucina
Backer: ミソジ (misoji)
A certain demon princess of another world who was brainwashed by an artifact and turned into a subservient puppet.
She maintains a certain degree of 'free will', but puts orders from her master above all else.
Dimensional Princess Turna
Backer: クロカゲ (Kurokage)
The daughter of a certain Dimensional Demon Princess and her alchemist aide.
Having inherited dimensional powers from her mother and the sharp intellect of her father, she is known as a prodigy by members of the Rilbana army.
She deeply loves her mother and the future king, her brother, but has a somewhat biased view against her father due to the myriad of things she heard from Garnet.
As a result of one of her father's crazy experiments, she ended up being sent to an alternate world.
This adorable daughter of a certain couple will be getting a scene in the game, so do look forward to it!
Iron Maid Mei
Backer: マイハ (Maiha)
A maid that works at the Alhazred mansion.
Boasting immense strength and magic aptitude, she can rip apart even strengthened tentacles. When her emotions go haywire, people around her tend to turn into unwilling sacrifices to those spikes.
Though, she herself doesn't exactly mean to harm those innocent (or maybe not so innocent) people.
The Iron Maid Mei will be getting a scene, so do look forward to it!
Captain Maiden
Backer: マイハ (Maiha)
Mei's younger sister.
She has some tendencies to daydream and fantasize a lot, often also dressing in 'punk' clothing to express her feelings.
She seems to be interested in stories of the Pirates of Fort Loughs, and likes cosplaying as a pirate. She has never left Alhazred before, but dreams of one day sailing the high seas.
Ether Dragoon
Backer: しなもん (Cinnamon)
Once a proud member of the Granleyd Army, the Claw Dragoon was captured alive by Energeian forces, and the Heretic Archduke decided to use her in his experiment of Ether infusion.
Having lost all of her past memories after being transformed, she now pledges complete loyalty and obedience to her new master.
Now then, she will technically receive a scene...However, the unit you see here is in fact the end result of said scene, so do look forward to it!
Returnees from Another World (Part 2)
From the Top left to Bottom Right:
Destroyed Tentacle
Backer: つま～さ (Tsumasa)
Having been thoroughly destroyed by someone, this tentacle now has a newfound sense of extreme self-preservation, going to extreme lengths in order to preserve its life.
Shamash
Backer: kukoso
A Goddess of Creation hailing from another world.
Dragon Maiden Mio
Backer: つま～さ (Tsumasa)
Finally back home after travelling various other worlds, the Dragon Maiden Mio is finally reunited with her parents.
Wraith Diva
Backer: 黒犬つかい (Kuroinu Tsukai)
Amaterasu, having been awakened by the Soul Cage.
GenesisDragon of DualityEden
Backer: Metarail
Having formed a contract with the legendary Demon God, the Genesis Dragon is now able to wield both the power of Divine Light and Profound Darkness.
Suzu
Backer: お煎餅 (OSenbei)
Once a simple blade from another world known as "Zanten" (Cutting the Heavens), she was given form after countless battles.
Despite being a returnee, she will actually be getting a scene in VBGI!
Well...Two scenes.
Well...Maybe more than two.
You'll just have to wait for the final release to find out, yes? Do look forward to it!
En-Ou-Ki
Backer: お煎餅 (OSenbei)
A hero from the far east, hailing from another world.
Lots of familiar faces this time around, eh?
While that will just about do it for the units introduced in this update, there will be future updates introducing more Rebirth Units and the like (specifically 1 more is left), so do look forward to it!

Good day, folks!

Oh, and also some returnees from previous games as well, so let us get started right away!

Professor Garath
Backer: Garath
Trained as a biochemist but worked as researcher in the energy industry he lived an ordinary life until he fell into a crack between worlds. There, he witnessed the deaths of a Demon and God in that void. Being exposed to that event changed him, giving him magic and a no longer entirely human heart.
Unable to return to his native world, he now travels between worlds as a magical researcher for anyone that is willing to pay his fees. He hopes that by studying and understanding many types of magic his dream may be realized.
Ether Engineer
Backer: tyosh

She has a couple of assistant mechanoids who are always with her and protects her from threats. As researching Ether is a rather costly field of study, she is currently looking for someone to sponsor her.
Night Rider
Backer: toufu guy
What if a fast horse was combined with modern technology, like a motorcycle? The...Horsepower would be out of this world! So was the thought process of this freedom and thrill loving racer, and she went on to make it a reality.
Riding a mechanical Horse-Motorcycle, the Night Rider speeds by, one hand on the handles, one hand wielding her massive chainsaw, cutting down those that seek to deny her a life of freedom and thrilling races.
To make an enemy of a speedy racer who wields a giant chainsaw may result in a drive-by sawing...
Dragon Princess Ein
Backer: S_Kedama
A dragon princess who was raised by a human scientist.
Having been raised by such a person, she, too, has gained a fascination with researching things, and fights using magical scrolls.
We'll stop right there in terms of new Backer units, but we would also like to re-introduce you to some units that will be making a return in VBGI!

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
A pretty simple update, so let us just get right to it!
VBGI Playing Card Design Samples
The design for the playing cards have more or less been finalised, and here are some samples of what the design might look like for some of the cards. Specifically, the Heart cards.
Looks great, doesn't it. Depending on your perspective and what card game you are thinking of, don't you think the image selection for each value is kind of fitting?
I wonder what the other cards look like? What artwork was chosen for them?
Well... that's something you'll just have to find out for yourself once it arrives at your doorstep!
Artbook Draft Sample Page
Now, we're sure some of you are curious about the Artbook, especially after seeing the sample of the doujinshi from a previous update!
Well we received the draft for some pages, and we would like to share one with you today!
It's a draft because, well, the English translation for it has not yet been completed.
*Physical Artbook will be censored with normal mosaics, this Theo sunglasses censorship is for the update
Looks great...If not for Theo staring you down with those sunglasses.
As usual, the physical artbook will necessarily have to be censored with mosaics, while backers from outside of Japan can have access to the uncensored digital version, as long as you have purchased the digital version of the artbook (or have it included in your pledge/addon).

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
A simple enough update today, but an important one nonetheless! We would like to introduce you to some folk who were integral to delivering the final product, the artists and sound staff involved!
VBGI Illustrator Introductions
We would like to introduce you to the talented artists who help bring life to the game with their amazing artwork and character designs!
First off, some very familiar names indeed!
These are the folk responsible for some of the core main characters integral to the story!
There are still more artists to introduce who worked on the newer additions to the game from the localisation project, plus some never before seen character design drafts from them!
First off, we have...
Narumi Suzune, who gave us the design for Miden, the Miko of Twilight.
Next, we have...
Issei, who drew Lucifer for the backer scene requests.
Lucifer on the left has been censored for the KS update.
Moving on, we have...
Shiizaki Hinaki (Twitter) who drew the event CG for Bara and other misc. artwork.
And last but not least, we have...
Shirosuzu (Twitter), who was in charge of some of the backer units, including one known as the 'Renegade'.
Censored for update purposes
We hope you enjoyed some of these artwork reveals!
Some or all of them might make it into the artbook, so we hope you look forward to getting your hands on that, too!
Ah, and while we're at it, we would also like to introduce two Scenario Writer Staff who were recently hired by us over at Ninetail, who go by the handle names paco2 and Narumi Shizuku!
Some of the Backer Scenes for VBGI were written by them, so do look forward to it!
Music Staff (Solfa) Introduction
First of all, a very familiar face, or rather, logo indeed!
SOLFA, who produced the BGM and music tracks for VBGI!
They have many composers and vocalists that breathe life into many different aspects of various works!
In the VenusBlood series, they've made a variety of music to fit the battles and stages, orchestral pieces and melancholy tunes...The music they produce is, in fact, a big part of the overall appeal of our games. We believe that the music fits perfectly with the situations portrayed in VenusBlood's stories and really enhances the player experience!
You can listen to some of these lovely tracks on their youtube channel, so be sure to check them out!
A talented vocalist who works for Solfa, she has worked with us before in the past to produce some amazing vocal tracks, and Gaia is no exception!

Alhazred Coin Samples (Both Variants)
We just so happened to receive some samples of the Alhazred Coins, Silver and Gold, and we would like to share them with you all today!
Inside of the Protective Casing, Heads
Outside of the protective casing, Tails
Size Comparison with JPY
The protective casing certainly is a nice touch, but the white bit that serves as a protective rim might get in the way of truly admiring the pristine quality of the coins themselves, no?
As for the coin size comparison, it is way bigger than a 100 yen coin, but it just every so slightly bigger than a 500 yen coin.
Don't they look lovely?
For anyone who ordered them, we hope you are happy with how it turned out!
New Stretch Goal Characters Reveal + BGM Samples / ストレッチゴールの新規キャラクター紹介 + BGMのサンプル公開
about 1 year ago

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
Some exciting news today, to be sure! One that we're sure many of you have been waiting for!
That's right, today, we will be introducing the 2 new characters that will be added from the Stretch Goals! Well then, without further ado, let us begin!
The Arbitrator of Dawn Philo
"I am naught but a bird wandering and travelling from ley line to ley line. I am also the Magician of Genesis."
A mysterious girl who appears at the ley lines scattered about Palastra. She laments the direction in which the world is headed and clings to a faint hope that the world can still be saved. As someone who has lived for quite a long time, she is quite wise and shows wisdom despite her youthful looks, just like the Divine Beasts.
Hmm, she bears a resemblance to a certain someone else, eh? Kind of gives off a feeling where you just want to protect her from harm, surely...
And with a very interesting and meaningful name, too. I wonder if anyone can make the connection?
Ah, but that is not all there is to this update! We would also like to introduce the 2nd Stretch Goal New Character!
Undying Spirit Dragon Katya
"Heh. You look like you'd offer me a fight I'd enjoy!"
The other Bahamut who'd been sealed beneath the very earth a millennia ago and forgotten to time. She believes that war and conflict define her very being, and she seeks to test her prowess in a world thrown into chaos.
A blonde Bahamut, kind of like, the delinquent Bahamut, almost?
Considering our very own Bahamut has a more mature form and a loli form, I wonder if Katya does as well...? Oh, and her choice of weapon is quite...unique.
The more perceptive among you, or rather, anyone familiar with VBHI, might have realised that unlike HOLLOW where we had 2 more...well-endowed new characters, in GAIA this time, we have 2 lolis!
Amazing how that works out, no?
Oh but wait, there's actually one more!
She's a side character that belongs to the Twilight faction, and if any of you are scratching your head about what that means, then no problem! You will understand once you play the game.
Miko of Twilight Miden
An Embryo maiden dressed in the Eastern style with Miko robes.Her demeanor is soft when talking to others, but she was secretly charged with a destructive mission.
Just from her outfit, you can kind of tell she's likely tied into Takamagahara. Thing is, with all those somewhat metallic...robotic fixtures on her, you can tell she is actually an Embryo maiden.
Soo, before you get your hopes up, she's just a side character, fellas! Does she have a scene? Well...
Gonna have to wait until the full game is out to find out, yeah?
BGM Samples
Ah, but that is not all for this update, actually!
We have some new BGM samples that we would like to share with everyone today!
