Mr. Myrmidon

I get where you're coming from, man but why obsess over optional features. I doubt these addition will affect the story in any way.

This is officially my favorite picture on the Internet.

He reminds me of Captain Quark.

ahhhhhh I see what you did there. Noooo oneeeee grins like Harold! No oneee has a chin like Harold!....

So far, Harold seems like a really fun character and I hope he's well executed(not overly gimmicky with his bad luck). . What are your general thoughts on and hopes for Harold?( Patrick Warburton for VA please)

Star Clan confirmed?

No, it makes perfect sense to me. I wouldn't mind this name change because it works so well thematically.

Maybe the Nohr sibling are promoted because of the increased difficulty.(perhaps in Nohr it's a steep curve(but that would be weird)) My main issue with them being promoted is the fact that they might be Frederick level useless later in the game. I mean, when I play Nohr , I want to give Leon a permanent spot on my team.

I think more Nohr exclusives will be revealed in the Nintendo Direct on the 31st(only two more days! :) )

. Gunther will be named Vladmir

Same here. For now, I like her on the principles of design and having no reason to dislike her. I feel like if anything she may be more interesting than Kamui because Kamui may just be a self insert with little personality.(I still hold hope that Kamui has a personality of his/her own, and you just design their look)

When I first saw the brown thing, it was in a torso only picture of Camilla. I honestly thought that the brown thing was Camiila's axe handle shoved between her breasts.So yeah.

I've heard that each route(Hoshido,Nohr,Neutral) each have more characters than Awakening.While quite a few overlaps are a given, do you think the sheer amount of characters will heavily affect the quality? To be honest, I don't completely mind if the If characters are similar to past characters.I only wish for them to have some depth and changes to their character over the course of the story.

At first I didn't know what everyone's issue with Camilla's design was.To figure it out, I looked up her design.Then I saw the panty window. Now I understand

Honestly, I doubt Nintendo would make same-sex pairings a thing in this game. Don't get me wrong, I want them put into the game ut I feel it is unlikely. However, Nintendo is going to include same-sex couples in the next Tomadachi Life, so perhaps they'll follow suit in If? (At best, I think they will only put in 1-4 homosexual options. :P)

I totally agree. if they're going to build their characters from overdone tropes, they should at least be consistent.

I'm going with Hoshido first and then Nohr simply for the increased difficulty curve

I really want to see more about the blue - haired maid and Orochi. Currently, I believe that Orochi could possibly be a servant/retainer of Hinoka's, but I have no ideas concerning the maid

Honestly, the recycled color palettes don't bother me so much as how in Awakening after re classes, some units didn't even have any unique sprites.(I see where you're coming from, though)

Even if it is a wartime tactic and Aqua was treated well, she was still kidnapped. If the Hoshido were "saints" , I doubt they would have done it for a hostage exchange. However, you may be right because we don't know when Aqua was kidnapped.(if there was an attempted hostage exchange, perhaps it went awry,plunging the Hoshido into total war or intensifying hostile tensions?)

We already know the Hoshido aren't complete saints because they kidnapped Aqua. Even if it was revenge for Kamui's kidnapping, it's still a shitty thing to do.

I just hope Garon isn't completely evil, but someone who gets carried away doing what he feels is best for his country. Also(correct me if I am wrong) I'm pretty sure the writer they got is the writer of Astro Boy, so he seems good.( that and they're hyping the hell out of the fact that they got him as writer)

. Phoenix mode is optional, so the game's balance will probably be up to the player.

(Rapier)If is getting a top notch writer, so I doubt that the story and choices will suck. Also, this game seems to be going for themes of symmetry and gray moralities. The endings will probably bloody, so I doubt the sides will be on any semblance of good terms.

I fear choices will be only be morally black or white, or that they don't even affect anything.(Emmeryn's death, anyone?) Im praying that the choices you make will change the opinions of your allies on either side. (If you make too many big decisions they don't like, they will leave. Or their supports levels with you will slightly rise)
