It's never too late to add an old man in, so here's a new scan from Jump introducing two new key characters for Tales of Zestiria.
- "The Shepherd has appeared and war's about to breakout? This era sure is moving fast."
- A veteran explorer that gives advice to the party. He is the owner of The Seraph Records (we previously called it The Divine Records) that Sorey is always reading.
Jiiji ( ???, jiiji) - man on the left of the scan
- "That child's feelings are straightforward and righteous, that's why I worry about him."
- An caring but strict elder that raised Sorey and Mikleo in the village of Izuchi. He's scary when he's angry. He protects the village with a powerful lightning barrier.
The scan also introduces Subevents that tell of information you won't find in the Main Scenario, such as your companion's personal matters and happenings in the continent.
