Scarle Yonaguni, a Nijisanji English Vtuber, shared on social media that she received a message from Twitch stating her account is "indefinitely suspended." While she does have an account at the site, she streams exclusively on YouTube.
Here is the official announcement from Scarle Yonaguni about her Twitch suspension. The email from Twitch noted that it was a "global suspension." However, the notice didn't explain what actions caused it. In one of her follow-up tweets about the message, she said, "I think this was due to that one time we had a party in the Twitch chat." She also noted her manager would be looking into and handling the situation.
While Scarle Yonaguni does stream regularly on YouTube, people might not see the Nijisanji Vtuber as frequently in the near future. In her schedule for the week of September 2, 2024, she noted she would be traveling. While she did hold a zatsudan and packing stream on September 3, 2024, there are no confirmed ones between September 4-8, 2024. However, she did have "hopefully a stream" as her statuses for September 6-8, 2024. She does have a September 10, 2024 stream scheduled for her return from her trip.
Scarle has been a Vtuber with Nijisanji since July 2022. She is part of ILUNA and debuted alongside people like Aia Amare, Aster Arcadia, Maria Marionette, Ren Zotto, and the February 2024 graduate Kyo Kaneko.

Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D will include a new Monster Wrangler vocation, and a character with this job can befriend monsters to use in new Monster Arenas. In addition to confirming the new role on the PlayStation Blog, the company also noted that created Adventurers can be registered and used in additional playthroughs once your game with them is done.
When someone goes to Patty's Party Planning Place in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D, the Monster Wrangler vocation will appear alongside other jobs like Gadabout, Mage, Martial Artist, Merchant, Priest, Thief, and Warrior. If chosen as a role for an ally, that character will be able to use the same sort of offensive and defensive attacks as monsters might. The announcement also suggested having one in the party will allow you to recruit monster NPCs you'll find as you explore. These are creatures you will meet outside of battle.
If you collect enough and go to a Monster Arena in Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D, you can have them fight against other monsters. You select your team and their tactics, then they automatically battle. As you go through the ranks, you earn things like money, items, and equipment for wins.
There are also three Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D screenshots showing what it looks like when we happen upon a monster we can befriend with a Monster Wrangler in the wild, what happens when we go to a Monster Arena to fight, and the start of a 3v3 Monster Arena match.
Dragon Quest 3: HD-2D Remake will launch on the Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on November 14, 2024.

HoYoVerse shared another Zenless Zone Zero Jane Doe trailer designed to highlight the character's background and personality, and like her first trailer, it focuses on how sexy, devious, and deadly she can be.
The video begins with Jane Doe having captured an individual. She then accuses the person of being someone who lost "goods" for their "boss." She has the individual tied up in a back room. She then both teases and threatens the captive, who we can't see. The whole animation is filmed with us seeing things from that person's perspective. She makes use of both her knives and the one attached to the tip of her tail. We also hear the individual say the person who stole the items seemed to know the route, even though it was a new one. As the interrogation happens, we also see a more stylized animation that shows Jane Doe in action, dealing with enemies.
This Zenless Zone Zero trailer makes the latest entry in a continuing series of videos for Jane Doe. Her first trailer involved her being picked up by a Public Safety officer after going undercover, then teasing her as she got changed in the back of the patrol car before heading out to finish the assignment. The following YouTube Short also appeared to highlight how she works behind the scenes as well.
Zenless Zone Zero is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. The Jane Doe banner will be available starting on September 4, 2024.

Toei Animation revealed a new Dragon Ball Daima anime trailer that features more mini versions of characters and a Zedd and C&K theme song with lyrics by "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA" composer Yukinojo Mori. The company also announced voice actors for new characters Glorio, Panzy, and Supreme Kai (Mini).
The new anime trailer begins by showing clips of mini forms of Dragon Ball Daima characters. So we get to see people like Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, Android 18, Marron, Chichi, Bulma, Trunks, Goten, Good Buu, Mr. Satan, Krillin, and Master Roshi. From there, we see a number of people scheming, as well as talking about using the Dragon Balls.
Goku then is shown meeting and going on a journey with Glorio, Panzy, and Supreme Kai at the 55 second mark. That is also when the clip of the Dragon Ball Daima theme song "Jaka Jaan," by Zedd, Mori, and C&K begins playing.
Glorio's Japanese voice actor is Koki Uchiyama, Panzy's is Fairouz Ai, and Supreme Kai (Mini) is Yumiko Kobayashi.
Toei also shared images with official statements from the Glorio, Panzy, and Supreme Kai Dragon Ball Daima voice actors, as well as Zedd, C&K, and Mori. You can see all those below:
The Dragon Ball Daima anime will begin airing in Japan on October 11, 2024, though its worldwide release date and streaming service haven't been confirmed yet. Other Dragon Ball anime adaptations and movies are available on Crunchyroll, and Viz Media handles the manga outside Japan.

Atlus shared the anime opening movie for the Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis DLC expansion. The video is almost two minutes long and, in addition to showing all of the returning characters, it also features the new Ryota Kozuka theme song "Dissonance."
"Dissonance" immediately starts playing as the Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis opening anime begins. We see a blue butterfly, a common Velvet Room icon, flying alongside the avatar from the main game. As he walks toward a door and turns around, a crying Aigis wakes up in her room in the S.E.E.S. dorm. From there, we see the Fool tarot card, which represents the S.E.E.S. social link, while pictures of Yukari, Junpei, Akihiko, Mitsuru, Ken, and Koromaru appear. The card shatters as it reaches Fuuka. From there, we see Aigis running through the Abyss of Time. That's the new dungeon that opens up in the dorm's basement. Metis appears. From there, we see Aigis and Makoto again, as well as the Evoker, the familiar mp3 player, a key, the Abyss, our allies, and Metis.
You can watch the full Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis DLC anime opening movie below.
In addition to this new opening, we can expect to see other additions not present in this original epilogue. One of them is a Persona 5 Royal Challenge Battle featuring Joker.
Persona 3 Reload is available now on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and Episode Aigis: The Answer DLC will debut on September 10, 2024.

For the first time, Nihon Falcom will appear at a virtual contention—Tokyo Game Show Digital World (TGS Digital World 2024)—as an exhibitor. You'll be able to check out the event from September 20 to October 6, 2024.
For reference, TGS Digital World is a virtual convention site for the Tokyo Game Show. Visitors will be able to use avatars and go around various booths or spaces to check out games. There are also quests that you can partake in, so it's like you're playing a game while learning about upcoming games.
There's no information on what Nihon Falcom plans to exhibit during TGS Virtual World 2024. Nihon Falcom also hasn't posted anything in regards to the in-person Tokyo Game Show, so it's unclear if it'll appear there. In terms of TGS Digital World though, we might get some more information on the Trails in the Sky the 1st remake, which appeared during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase stream in August 2024. There might also be a demo or information on Kai no Kiseki, which will come out soon in Japan.
The Tokyo Game Show Digital World event will take place from September 20 to October 6, 2024. Kai no Kisekiwill come out on the PS4 and PS5 in Japan on September 26, 2024.

For about 10 minutes, the television crew for Japanese show Pajapiko will be filming in Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV). If you're interested in having your in-game character potentially appear on TV in Japan, you can go and check it out.
The location is in Aegis World on the Elemental server. The crew will be around Eastern La Noscea (X:35.2, Y:27.6) and filming will start from 3:20 PM on September 4, 2024. That's Japan time, so it would convert to around 11:20 PM PST of September 3, 2024/2:20 AM EST of September 4, 2024. Filming may start either earlier or later than that time though, you might want to get there before 3:20 PM.
According to the announcement tweet, Pajapiko wants to film the in-game world of FFXIV to introduce Eorzea for an episode of its show. People affiliated with the show will also be around Eastern La Noscea and setting off fireworks, so other players are welcome to join them. Comedian and YouTuber (who also posts his own Let's Plays) Eiko Kano is the host of Pajapiko and you can watch it on TVer or Abema even if you don't live in Japan.
Final Fantasy XIV is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
