The scans also feature more powerful enemies that the party can encounter in-game:
- First Class Enemies - Powerful Daemon enemies that can be found scattered throughout the world. Defeating them will garner the player rare and valuable items.
- Wandering Enemies - A special type of enemy that will appear after a battle once conditions are met. They are much more powerful than the First Class enemies.
And aside from the Waiter / Waitress minigame, one more minigame has also been added:
- Rare Board Minigame - A minigame that utilizes the Rare Board. It'll come in two modes, time-dependent or score-dependent.
- Waiter / Waitress Minigame - Everyone's (arguably) favorite minigame of serving customers with indecisive minds about their ridiculous orders.
This particular issue of Famitsu will officially be released tomorrow. Better scans will be added to this very post by tomorrow. The post has been updated with clearer scans.
