Site Update
Using Suikoden IV as the base of the world overview, Rhapsodia expands upon that to tell a new tale. The untold past and future, will now be woven through Kyle's saga.
The curtain rises on Kyril and his friends' exploits in pursuing the mass destructive rune cannon.
Kyril
Since childhood, Kyril has been on a journey with his father and his acquaintances. Being scrupulous, he is not the type of person to leave behind others in distress. He skillfully wields a double-edged blade.
voice:
Andarc
A youngster traveling with Kyril's entourage. He is overly serious and often broods over random things, making the people around him worry. Both Andarc and Seneca serve as Kyril's father's subordinates.
voice:
Seneca
Traveling with Kyril, a woman of firm disposition. Seneca is like a sister to Kyril. In depressing and even distasteful situations, Seneca lightens up the atmosphere.
voice: Saiga Mitsuki

Thank you, dragonmasterx, for translating the recently updated section of the official site.
The site has also been updated with 4 screenshots. (Located at the Screenshot link not surprisingly)
The System link is there, but won't link to anything.
The rating of the game is "CERO 12" meaning that it is recommended for people over the age of 12 to play.

Damn. I translated the whole characters section only to disconver that Dragonmaster had beat me to it... Oh well, I'll post my translation for the "About" section.
"In a dark place, a book was once opened. This is what it said....
I would like to tell you about one living being. This being posessed a very special and powerful 'maryoku' (mysterious charm). The charm had the pwer to control other beings. People became suspicious of the being and it was said that the charm posessed the power of the devil. People persued the being and attempted to kill it. That was 7 years ago, before the war. Now, a strange event is about to occur in the back street of a small town...."
That's all I could get out of it. Sorry it doesn't provide any more and also sorry my Japanese sucks. Anyway, I'll try to keep up with the posts on the site.

The site's system tab has been updated with:
協力攻撃 unite attacks - initiate a talk between specific characters to use
支援アクション support action - characters with high relationship rating with each other can guard each other.
ふきだし I'm not sure what "fukidashi" is, but this is what I gather from the description. Depending on what actions you take in battle; you can tell certain things at a glance, without checking enemies' status, like if they are weak or will counterattack. There is some special dialogue belonging to only certain characters. Finding these should be interesting.
EDIT: "fukidashi" means gushing, spurting, or spouting, of emotion in this case.
The two new characters:
Corselia - She ends up traveling with Kyril after bumping into him. Usually, Corselia is docile and posseses a strong will. She experiences much in traveling with Kyril's group, and gradually matures.
Yohn:
A shadowy figure acting in concert with Kyril's entourage. Since he wields the special ability of responding to the undead, Kyril's father brings him along as a familiar.
