A concept trailer has surfaced for Akiba’s Beat (the sequel to Akiba’s Trip) and has enlightened viewers to the new game’s RPG combat and animated cutscenes, however whether or not the game’s staple clothes-rending action will still make an appearance has yet to be confirmed…
The trailer, along with some brief animated cutscenes:

Akiba’s Beat can revitalize the franchise when it makes its way to the PS4 and Vita sometime this fall.
Ugh. I was a big fan of 2, but this looks very disappointing.
First off, character designs are ultra generic. Way too simple. Far worse than I initially thought. Two of the girls look really similar.
Secondly, the combat. What the hell. If they wanted to make an RPG they should have just made a different franchise.
Hopefully the title name change means they also intend to make Akiba’s Trip 3 using the same assets.
I’m not even exaggerating when I say that none of the characters stood out to me as recognizable.
They are essentially goth l♥♥i x2, generic guy x2, androgynous blondes x2 and hipster x1.
This really looks nice. I love the settings for this…
I see yukari, aoto, midori, black-haired akane, arthur, and maybe ginji.
Looks like the Divine Gate director didn’t learn any new tricks.
didnt this just become a friggin persona game?
Lost is the lewd, funny, quirky mechanics. In is a persona4 setting with hack/tales combat.
Well the girls are cute, i’ll probably still give it a go.
