Announcement (26/9/09)
There is another small update on the official site for Resonance of Fate.
The above shown are just some of the new images available in the character section for Zephyr, Vashyron, Subject #20 & Reanbell.
Earlier this month we upgraded our site to premium, and since then we have upgraded several pages and added new content, here is a summary of the updates since then:
- Avatars and Reviews are now included on separate pages to each individual game, you can also access these instantly via the right menu bar.
- Previously each page had a section for characters within the main page, they are now separated to their own page. There is now also a completely new character profile page for Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth.
- Several sets of artworks are now available, such as Second Story, Till the End of Time, The Last Hope, Infinite Undiscovery & Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria.
- Each game page now has it's own navigation menu atop the page, to easily switch between different pages relating to the specific game. The typical layout is now as follows: Home | Characters | Review | Artworks | Avatars | Forum.
- Reorganised Archive, separating past announcements by month.
- Other minor miscellanea updates.

Also a batch of new Japanese magazine scans (2 of 8 shown above) have recently become available for the game, which also feature a new character not yet shown on the official site, Lagerfeld. He has a very smooth appearance wearing a rather cool looking pear of sunglasses and a full brim hat. You can view all the new scans by here.
We have also updated our Resonance of Fate avatars page to include two of the more recent additions to the official site, Jeanbell & Theresa.
Finally those that have visited previously will notice slight changes to the layout of the Resonance of Fate page (and also others now and in the future) showing all the related links to the game just under the official banner art atop every page.
