Watching the trailer, I gotta say they're sticking with Gaiden's RN. The number of mid-high percent misses we've already seen gives us a pretty good idea.
What I love about this system is that the game punishes you for being a slowass but you can still be like "Not really feeling Celica's route today, I'll play a map or two of Alm's instead"
When I saw the 2D sprites of the characters on the 3D background I thought of the Diamond is Unbreakable end credits and now I lowkey wanna put it to Cherry Cola
There is an image of it in a few of the trailers based on the Falchion shown in the Gaiden opening. Maybe the sword Alm has, "Alm's Blade", will be the Regal Sword in Echoes?
I'd like to see interaction between Alm and Clive, not necessarily just supports but I'd like any opportunity to explain why tf Clive just hands the Deliverance over to Alm
I was really hoping to see Forsythe or Python revealed, but these are neat! I really like the one with Celica meeting Saber, wonder if they'll do stills for more characters like that?
I voted for Lukas, Saber, and Leon because they gave so much personality and uniqueness to the very generic, copy-and-paste sprites in Gaiden without departing from the source material dramatically.
Now that I think about it, maybe supports will make a difference. There is clearly a system of combat support, and maybe Tobin or Clive will have a ton of supports to make them stand out or something.
