Tolvir Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) The art looks so much better. I will be honest, the original art looks very amateur and isn't all that good. Even by the early 90's standards of anime, cartoons, and comics that art really sucks. Liefield may of been a better artist. At least he can draw faces without it looking like a 13 year old with a weight problem. The characters look a lot better though, I really like this style. Its like a cross between the new style and Tellius, which are two of the best in the series in terms of design and art. Cant wait to see more.

Clive is the cavalier and Kliff is the Villager. It could be Clive/Clieve! Since he was a cavalier/paladin in the original, and the new artwork of the blonde guy looks like he's a cavalier.

Night Zap Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Oh, must have mixed up the names. I was talking about the Cavalier from the Liberation Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterique Sign Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 To be fair to Boey's new design, Gaiden character art is notoriously inconsistent between the game, the Complete and the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it ever actually confirmed that it's Boey, though? His design has changed radically if it's really him. He has pants now! Also, I think the blonde guy in the blue armor is Kliff. For reference, his original portrait: Reveal hidden contents Boey is on Celica's route and in the trailer we see a white hair mage at 4:43. So I think it's safe to say that's Boey. I'll link the trailer below. Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Zap Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well, that convinces me that it's really Boey and not a new character, because a drastic change in design sounds far saner than putting even more mages in Celica's oversaturated party. His darker skintone makes me wonder if he's from the desert region that Celica traverses in Chapter 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christianguy7 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I really like the new artwork, my favorite is Alm for sure, however I feel that Ceicila's could be better. I wonder if there will be an option to switch art in game, to the old art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side characters' personalities and origins aren't explored in Gaiden so it's definitely a possibility! He, along with Mae and Genny worked at the Novis Monastery prior to the events of the game and that's all we really know. They don't have any backstory, so it's a definite possibly if they decided to flesh out the supporting cast this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Druid Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 UPDATE: The blonde character that I couldn't identify on the first page seems to be confirmed as Clive as I suspected. So here's the comparison of the old artwork and the new artwork. Spoiler It looks like they stuck to his original character design, as he's always been a blonde cavalier it seems. I'm digging his new armor. It matches Alm, which it should since they're both considered leaders of the Zofian Liberation Army. I really hope they expanded on the personality of this character, since his backstory/position and epilogue are really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zosha Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Personally, I can't wait to see how Kliff looks like. From what I can see of his sprite in one of the new pictures, his hair also changed to white like Boey. But since Tobin had his purple hair change to brown I guess this had to happen. Hahaha.

You know I'm ready to post them on this thread when the time comes. Just hoping IS starts releasing them soon. From the screenshots that we've seen in the trailer, Silque, Mae, and Genny didn't have much of a revamp. Genny still rocking her pink ponytail and Silque's hair went from a purple/indigo to blue. The hairstyle is still a bob though. Mae's hair is more of a fushia color now, but she still has her pigtails. The only other character you've mentioned that we've seen a battlefield sprite of is Clair. Her hair color doesn't look blue anymore (probably not to look to similar to Catria or Sheeda). She appears to have long blonde hair now, which makes her look more like Clive's sister than she did in the original. Fun Fact: she'll be the first blonde pegasus knight in the series, save Cynthia or Matoi if their father/mother was blonde. But since their official artwork doesn't depict them with blonde hair, I'm giving the title to Clair (if she is blonde, it was hard to see).
