Famitsu has gone up with its online preview for Shining Resonance, Sega’s newly announced PlayStation 3 RPG from Media Vision.

The preview offers first direct-feed screenshots and new details.

First, here’s the story outline:

In an ancient continent, a land of God known as “Alfheim” exists.

A long time has passed since the dragons who were once powerful in this world perished. Its souls were crystallized and scattered about the world.

However, a dragon survived. And its name is “Kouryuu Iruban.” Seeking the power of the lost dragon, the Imperial Army and Church powers, and now a “Dragon Slayer” who intends to harm the dragon, have begun to stir.

The one who saved the dragon from their clutches was a single “young girl.” And before long, warriors known as “Dragon Instrumentalists” began to gather under the dragon. The dragon recalled a childhood memory of a “young girl” who saved him when he was injured. It was a reunion of fate.

A beautiful and painful story about the girl and the dragon will be told.

Shining Resonance uses a real-time action battle system where players control a single character. There is a dragon in the party, and party members can fight by manipulating song.

The protagonist of this story is the Kouryuu Iruban, the surviving dragon whose existence affected the way the world came about. Because of its power, it is targeted by a variety of people.

Sonia Blanche is the “lightning princess” of the kingdom of Astoria. She is leading the people in a fight for the country’s revival. She is high-spirited and always strong for the protagonist.

Shining Resonance is in development for PlayStation 3.
