In a recent press release, Atlus has revealed several new screens for Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars as well as an in-depth description of Chlotz, the main character's best friend and younger brother of Chloe (the redheaded super genius heroine).
Take a look at Atlus' complete description of Chlotz:
It's the first day of school, and despite being told that you're a possible savior of mankind, it's still nice to have a buddy in your corner who's always got your back. In Conception II, the blunt but well-meaning Chlotz takes on that role. He admittedly is a bit of a doofus and a perpetual third wheel to God's Gift when it comes to interacting with heroines, but he's also a technical wizard and is constantly training to be a better Disciple. Like Ruby, the lead researcher, often notes: "For being an idiot, he's pretty smart."
Chlotz also deals with constantly being compared to his sister, Chloe. Not only is she one of the strongest of the heroines that God's Gift can bring into battle, she's also the smartest. Chlotz's sister has numerous published works and is so smart she's actually been promoted to teacher at the Aterra Academy. But despite living in the shadows of her accomplishments, he has plenty of his own talents and their bond as brother and sister can never be broken.
A steadfast companion from the very beginning, Chlotz is always willing to sacrifice anything to help his friends, or slap some common sense into people. Even if he's horribly outmatched with no chance of winning, he's always there to step in if it means he can help save a life. The same can be said for when he's outmatched by some of the S-Rank girls. Even if he can't win over the affections of one on his own, he's always ready to hand out relationship insight to God's Gift. Most of it is usually good, too!
So in a nutshell, the stranger you meet on the way to your first day of school rapidly becomes your best friend, and despite his general doofusness, lack of tact, and clownism, he winds up being one of the strongest supporting characters in all of Conception II. ...Sound familiar?
Conception II is set to release in North America on 15th April ($39.99 for both PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS), and is being published as a digital only title sometime during Q2 in Europe.

Okay, what? Is creativity dead? He's literally a klutz! And his name is just pronounced like the german version of 'klutz' (which is Klotz). ATLUS, don't make me rethink my decision to get this... I really do want this game, but not if most of the game is just the same kind of stereotypes like... Chlotz.
Damn! Digital only in Europe. First Code of Princess and now this. Well, at least they're releasing it over here.
Lol digital only, I'll get the Vita version from America, thanks.
Screenshots must be from vita cause they're so big and clear ;o...still getting the 3DS though cause second screen OP
@GoombaJMR You're right, it's the Vita version! The shape of the select button is a dead giveaway as well.
@GoombaJMR lol bottom screen OP, good way to put it.
The more i see the more i really want this. What started out as just a weird concept for a game has really peeked my interest!
Wonder how much moral outrage this one will spark.
@SMEXIZELDAMAN Just curious, are you still playing Monster Hunter? I remember the good old days of playing the Wii version with you, @Jayarr, and a host of others!
And all i could think about while reading was The Butz.
LOL you poor Europeans! Maybe if people bought more than GTA and CoD there, Atlus would have a Europe Division!
@Kaze_Memaryu So a fairly obscure pun of one character's name is going to keep you from buying this game? It's probably intentional for his name to be like that. You should lighten up if that's how you feel it looks like a fun game
Also the word stereotype is incorrectly used there, the choice of his name being close to the german word for clumsy and his character actually being a klutz would be called "ironic".
This sounds like an action rpg. & the character they are talking about, reminds me of Atton Rand from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 The Sith Lords.
"mate-o-tron". Amazing.
I'm pretty happy with Atlus' output on the 3DS so far. I'll def be getting this.
I love Atlus.
@MuchoMochi It's the combination of both that is annoying. I've seen many absolutely identical characters like him before, and at some point developers should come up with better things than that. When you've seen the 'easygoing buddy' stereotype often enough, it's becoming more and more implausible for such precisely identical characters to exist, and they eventually annoy you. It's just like the usual 'Idiot Hero' - they're everywhere, and they just exist for convenience. But it's not even THAT hard to add a personality trait for a bit of diversity.
@CaviarMeths we can't have people having fun. Got to have enforce pure Western values. #nofunallowed
Digital only sucks, but I'm still getting it to show my support for Atlus even bringing it to Europe in the first place.
@kaze_memaryu lmao are you kidding? His name is pretty creative. Have you seen the other characters names? "genus" an abbreviation of "genius", "shina" and "shy" "Feiji" which means plane. This game is full of puns which works well. Mixing Japanese names with English words. Also, although the guy is named "Chlotz" and is based off "klutz" he isn't clumsy in the slightest. Or stupid. And I know this because I played the game lol. His character develops from a perverted, chilled friend who seems dumb but is actually smart (having obtained a job), assisting the protagonist by giving advice and matures (because he finds a girl he is genuinely attracted to).
