HK Motendra Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Some of them were excessive, some were fine, and some weren't done enough. Would you find some of the characters to be more bearable without it? Or is it the only thing they have going for them? EX: Chrom, haven't seen him break anything except for the hole in the castle wall, and the summer scramble with he and MU. I'd assume by this, he'd have more of a temper in the story, but doesn't after the first half of the game.

Phantom037 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 If they got rid of the gimmicks, Kellam wouldn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFireMage Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Quirks such as Gaius' candy fetish are fine as long as the entire character doesn't revolve around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Severa would be an infinitely better character if her entire character didn't revolve around her overdone tsundere gimmick and her mommy troubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK Motendra Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) If they got rid of the gimmicks, Kellam wouldn't exist. lol Kellam's is fine for me cause sometimes I feel his pain irl (some people tend to not know my name and/or I'm the forgotten one in the group) and it adds some comic relief sometimes Quirks such as Gaius' candy fetish are fine as long as the entire character doesn't revolve around them. Right. Some of the cast were way overdone in my opinion Severa would be an infinitely better character if her entire character didn't revolve around her overdone tsundere gimmick and her mommy troubles. Severa's mother troubles were actually bearable to me, since it was well explained and integrated. Not to mention, that it's a gimmick that applies to real people Lissa's snorting only came up once, didn't it? In a DLC? I wouldn't know. Thats another one of the gimmicks that arent done enough Edited September 15, 2013 by Hero-King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSND Alter Dragon Boner Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Virion without gimmick would jump from "well written character" into "WHY IS THIS GUY GAVING ME AS MUCH BONER AS DRAGONS" As for a certain someone..... I rather remove her jock attitude before the gimmick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a strong feeling that would start something, so i didn't use either as an example But since you brought it up, I'd much rather Sumia not be such a klutz That and Cordelia not revolving around Chrom (He's mentioned in almost every paired support she has) Edited September 15, 2013 by Hero-King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe take out the 'stupidity' part, since there are many who will disagree, quite vocally. Perhaps something like "her constant failings make her appear"... something?

Might want to reword this so that we don't start an argument. Maybe take out the 'stupidity' part, since there are many who will disagree, quite vocally. Perhaps something like "her constant failings make her appear"... something? Yes, i'd prefer that we keep the peace here in this thread EDIT: if you took away their gimmicks, the characters wouldn't have a lot xp Maybe, but there are some that I see to be either not needed, or not used enough. There are some that can stay EX: Priam's surprisingly talkative self and love of meat (He could have been redeemed if he actually appeared in the story and had more supports) Edited September 15, 2013 by Hero-King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMage Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I could definitely do without Miriel's insane intelligence... not because I can't understand some of the things she says, but because it kills almost every potential S support relationship she has... I don't find any of her supports particularly endearing ;~; That's the worst gimmick in the game for me... I do find some of her critical hit quotes funny though ^^ Also, Noire's whole alter ego thing is kinda weird... like seriously >.< Most of the gimmicks I think characters could do without, even Tharja who is my favourite... >.< BUT having said all that, some gimmicks I find quite good... Henry's constant optimism is funny (at least for me :p), Anna's jokes about her shops, and Maribelle's snobbery... "Daaahling!" haha, I LOVE it! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djing Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Laurent and Miriel with their overdone intelligence. I literally don't understand a single word they say. Even if I try my best. Laurent talks pretty plainly. He's just overly polite. Kellam at least has a family back home that he talks about so he'll still have some presence. Gaius's candy fetish was kind of insufferable. He really doesn't have to constantly talk about his love of sugar. If it was more low key like Walhart's love of vegetables it would have been hilarious. Say'ri has no gimmicks so everyone would just be like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) Say'ri has no gimmicks so everyone would just be like her. Her gimmick is that she's super traditional Japanese. Even in English, her speech expresses that pretty clearly. Her supports with MU even more so with her nostalgia of the culture, food, and Sakura trees.

Pretty much the reason why I dont like miriel Noire, I'm kinda indifferent towards Henry, I can deal with, but that intro of his was just too much for me. Anna's what you'd expect from a merchant and I really like her supports. Thumbs up to her. Olivia wouldn't be as kawaii. And will just be another Tethys, in all honesty. You're right about that Rey. She's also one of my most favored in the first gen Sully's gimmick being removed might actually convince me to use her. The cooking? Or her being a tomboy knight?

Elieson Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 The tomboy knight. She is vulgar from her introductory conversation with Virion, planting her boot up Virion's "--", and "The hell are you?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1% critted Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hmm.. good question. I would have wanted some of the characters to tone some of their gimmicks down, to explore them further, like Miriel. Or at least, I would have wanted them to explore the origins of said gimmicks. For the most part, I'm fine, since it made each individual in the cast more memorable for me, but some characters could have really used more development.
