Hinoka, the Goddess of Fates

[william2734]

Humor this fanboy and please give your two cents, I'd like to see what people think.

[HTakara82]

I love Hinoka, but Anna is the true waifu4lyfu

[Xylaugheon Daily]

Design-wise? She's my absolute favorite. In terms of personality, she's cliche, yet charming as a strong female character that isn't overly sexualized. She is the mother to my favorite version of Sophie I've created, which gives her mega points. She's a royal, and while that means she worships Kamui, that is literally the only negative comment I have. She makes a great mother and is a valuable fighter, though I suppose a tad underwhelming in some regards. No one is a 10 in my book, and she's only a 9 within the cast of Fates, but she's still a fantastic character and within my top three for the title.

Design and character-wise, I think she's unremarkable.

As a unit, she's above average as a lancer.

[Duke of Dozel]

I think she's cute, and being a good unit helps, but she's still very unremarkable. Probably one of the more forgettable Royals. Her hair color looks terrible on a ton of kids too

[xiaopan1987]

Not my favorite royal sibling but she is a reason why I like about Hoshido. Hinocopter~

Would be better if they gave the Royal sisters some type of special weapon... not super special like their brothers... but something at the least. Why no super lance, 2 super staves, and super axe IS... Why? (Of course super staff might be too much...)

[CocoaGalaxy]

Bit off topic I guess.

For Sakura and Elise, I honestly wouldn't mind if they'd just, I dunno, gave them an infinite use staff perhaps?

From a storyline perspective it'd be weird though

I'm not sure what to say for Camilla. Hinoka....I'd say something like the Guard Naginata, but I'm not sure how to change that

[twice]

[spoiler=Hinoka Spoilers ig?????]Her entrance cutscene was one of the best imo (besides Camilla of course)...

Besides that, I like Hinoka but she is not the waifu 4 me.

[Ebony]

Honestly? I like Hinoka a lot. I prefer her over Camilla personality wise and design wise. I also have a thing for redheads. She's not my favorite royal (that'd be Takumi and Leon) but it goes about:

Takumi/Leon

Elise

Hinoka/Ryouma

Sakura

Marx

Camilla

[Sunwoo]

[spoiler=Might be spoiler-y]I wanted to like her because she (along with Camilla) are the first older sisters of the lord who are actually warriors. Not passive healer types like Elice and Emmeryn. Which is why I'm disappointed that she's the least important sibling in the plot and is too Kamui-centric.

[Thor Odinson]

Designwise she's ok, I like her hair and face but the clothes don't stand out to me (should've been a prepromote like Camilla IMO, Falco outfit would be rly cool)

Personalitywise she really grew on me in her supports. I genuinely enjoyed a lot of her supports and I really like her as a person.

Shame her story role is very, very shafted. It would be great if she had a lot more presence in the story itself considering her status as one of the siblings.

Overall she's one of my favorite characters as I tend to judge more by personality than by design and I do take supports into account fairly heavily.

I find her the most interesting of the Hoshidan royals. 'Strong' characters who were screwed up by something in their childhood are totally my weakness, and I like the way it's presented in her supports.

Her costume design is also super cute, peg knights are one of my fav classes, and I've heard she's supposed to be a pretty good unit, too. Atm, she's my favorite Hoshidan character.

[Miatt]

She was my waifu4laifu, before Soleil.

But she is strong and very cute. And she isn't cute because she's over-sexualised, like Camila.

[Celice]

I tried using her twice and she just turned out mediocre as a pegasus. Then I reclassed her into a Basara and she managed to be pretty awesome with high defense and resistance, good strength, and enough magic to make the Shinrai Naginata deadly.

[Landmaster]

IDK about personality-wise, but design-wise, she's alright~ I don't care much for short haired-chicks, so that's kinda influencing my decision, but she seems cool~ I like her voice, though~

She has really good growths, how'd she turn out "mediocre"? I guess PEMN? lol

[Nyanko]

She's just not interesting to me.

[Ebony]

I would guess the caps aren't as fitting for her/go as high as they could.

[Thor Odinson]

The peg growths themselves are fairly low. Her personal is high, though. I heard she's really great going Holy Lancer.

[Celice]

Her and Tsubaki both did low damage, had high speed, no real defense, high resistance. Tsubaki has never turned out great for me, either. This happened on both times I've tried Hoshido, first on Normal, then on Lunatic.

Also, does Lunatic have static levelups? I've restarted some chapters and used characters in different orders, but their levelups always seem to be the same stats in the same order.

Well even with Peg growths, her odds are still pretty much 1 in 2 chances of gaining a point in the majority of her stats, which is quite good.

I can understand Tsubaki, cause he has a growth of 30 (40 with peg), but Hinoka has 55 with Peg growths.

Sounds too much like PEMN.

Personal experience is why I ended up dropping her because she wasn't worth wasting the slot, because there were better characters waiting to replace her, and they didn't have such shitty stats as Hinoko did.

But I guess some players will forgive a unit turning out bad because they're *supposed* to be what the unicorn averages say they would.

[astrophys]

Oh, it makes sense to drop a character if they get stat-screwed…. PEMN in terms of expectation values when discussing whether a character will turn out good on average, but PE means everything within the context of your individual run, as that's what you actually need to be concerned with.

That's true, no point in keeping a character around, if they got stat screwed. I've heard about people get stat screwed by Ike in PoR, I've played that game like a dozen times, and never had that happen to me, so I had a hard time believing it.
