Saaji

It really seems as if the artist just didn't give a damn and rushed through the drawing. And I'm shocked to find out that it was the same artists for Sword of Seals and Blazing Sword. I really liked his Blazing Sword work and while Sword of Seals wasn't amazing it wasn't terrible also. He would have been better off that doing a simple standing pose instead of trying to be dynamic about it since the proportions are all over the place. The face is okay and I suppose for the in-game portrait you wont have to see the entire body but it's certainly disappointing. I guess he should have gotten some warm up time so he could get back to his Blazing Swords quality....

Yes SS is very likely near the end of the timeline or a bad timeline. There's also theDevil May Cry 2 treatment where its just simply so far in the future that is just doesn't matter and wont be brought up for discussion at all. Though perhaps we should try to get all the world maps and see if there's any similarities that have yet to be brought up. I suppose there's the Zelda route to which considering some parts of the plot for Awakening isnt to far off.

One way they could make the anima work is make them separate yet connected ranks. So lets say our mage uses a thunder tome s/he gets 2wexp for thunder and 1 for wind and fire. Since they are enhancing their experience with the elemental arts overall but mainly with thunder in this case. Make the gaps in experience gain a little bit larger perhaps and make so to reach the Max rank(A in this case) you need to use the actual element you're trying to raise.

Well I for one am really excited about this, will it lead to a second generation like FE4 and the implications upon the story itself. Also I always enjoy playing matchmaker in Fire Emblem. Though I reckon my pairings are usually boring and tame compared some here but hey whatever. If they are ballsy enough to include some homosexual and/or bisexual relationships doesn't mean a damn thing to me. I pair the characters the way I want to, and that's it. I've rarely have a opted for the best technical support pairings.. that's just so cold and uninteresting. I'm curious how children will work out, if we do indeed get a second generation.(I'm really hoping that we do.) Will we have them based off the mothers and how are we're going to handle stats. Also war orphans that aren't blood to their 'parent' hopeful they won't be as shoddy as the 'replacements' characters in FE4's second generation. Hopefully we get some worth while support conversations also. I really don't want to see another Radiant Dawn in terms of everyone can support everyone if it means craptastic generic dialogue. Though if 'destined' pairs get fleshed out dialogue while supposed 'crack' pairings get a little less fleshed out I'd be okay with that.

Too my knowledge the name Serge translate into japanese as Saaji at least that's what I was taught when I was studying japanese. because there's no native 'er' sound in japanese its usual is represented has the long "a" sound like power is powaa. I could be wrong and there may be more ways to translate the name. Se - ru- jyu to Serge sounds possible, but also it's not usually a female name the only female variant i think may exist is Sergine or something similar...

I'm digging both characters. Sol is probably going to be a mellow chap while Soriee will be the fiery and probably more serious of the two. I tend to favor the more mellow of the duo but I'm at the moment slightly leaning towards Soriee
