You know, when I watched the anime I remembered thinking, “Wow!  Rise does so much more in the anime than in the game!”  Because she was giving Yuu tips on how to fight enemies re: Shadow Naoto and even was a part of the “final” battle.  It’s like the Vita game saw that and said, “Let’s take it up a notch.”  It’s nice to see the “scanner” character get a bigger role, especially since I like Rise  :)  Oh, and her final persona looks really neat, too.
