Eveangaline Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Maybe there's some prophecy about the royal that can turn into a dragon and she's a devout believer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Leu Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Hmm, I see three possibilities. -Love at first sight, a la Eliwood/Ninian -She can't think for herself, and decide to follow the MC because he had the balls to actually take a decision. -Friendship is magic. Beurk. Edited June 13, 2015 by B.Leu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DualMix Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I believe it's something to do with your situations being similar, with her being from Nohr but kidnapped by Hoshido and you being kidnapped by Nohr but being from Hoshido.... I know it was stated somewhere but I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I think it probably will be some form of "love at first sight" though with F!Kamui it'll probably be changed to "BFFs at first sight" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awakener_ Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Like attract like, similar background attracted Aqua to Kamui. It will probably developed into love with male Kamui if wanted by the player or close friend with female Kamui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I doubt it has anything to do with love; Aqua seems to have her own motives, or at the very least share Kamui's, which is probably why she'll follow him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egobarrier Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I don't doubt Aqua will bond with Kamui over the course of the game, but I do hope she has a better reason for following you than your personality. Maybe it's because of your draconic powers, maybe it's because she feels you're in the best position to bring a swift end to the war, heck maybe she's bitter about everything and just wants to watch you suffer as you cut down your family. I don't know, but whatever the reason I hope it's more than "just because." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I think her role is kinda like C.C. in Code Geass; she follows Kamui's progress because it (sorta) interests her, and then later on she starts caring a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we don't get a shonen cliché like friendship being the solution to all her problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 She might just want to see you through this Journey to the bitter end whether it be cause she is in love with M!Kamui or wants to see if you can stop this hatred or it could be for other reasons. Suzukaze I can understand why he would follow you on both paths cause when a ninja finds a master he sticks with him to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonlitSonata Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I seem to remember it being said somewhere that she follows Kamui because they have a similar past. (aka kidnapping subplots) She'll probably stick around because she initially agrees with Kamui until the point where things get so convoluted that something happens which leads to the scene where dragon!Kamui pounces on her. I'm wondering if Kamui's sword of darkness could be signs pointing to him becoming possessed or something not-good and the darkness is manifesting on the blade, while Aqua's pendant could be for "purifying" his soul maybe? (since we've had a lot of dark/light juxtapositioning going on in the promotional stuff?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 You know, all this talk about Aqua's motivations makes me realize that we don't know anything at all about the story.We know there'll be a war, some minor details about the two countries, that the Hoshidian king died to Garon somehow, that the royals have dragon blood in their veins and of course the choice between Nohr and Hoshido and...that's pretty much it, isn't it? We don't know about Aqua's water powers/wormhole thing, Kamui's transformation and why it goes berserk or anything about the war other than the fact that it's a war.

I'm guessing its cause Kamui can change into the Dragon thing or in her song she talks about a golden sword like Kamui has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it just suddenly hit me that we know very little. For instance, we know nothing about the Nosferatu and the things I mentioned earlier. Oh well, I'm glad it hasn't been leaked at least. More to find out on my own! A bit worried about how many characters will be central to the plot, but hey, we've got three paths, so it should be alright.

A bit worried about how many characters will be central to the plot, but hey, we've got three paths, so it should be alright. We have each of our siblings on each side, our route-respective parental figures, and I think there's a good chance the Joker/Felicia/Gunther trio will be relevant for some time. That's already 8 significant characters per route. That's solid, I think, and I'm sure there ought to be at least a couple more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's already 8 significant characters per route. That's solid, I think, and I'm sure there ought to be at least a couple more. That's what I'm worried about, it will be difficult to characterize so many characters, and we more or less HAVE to feel something towards them or the choice will feel very hollow. Imagine the Nohr route: we have to presumably fight against Garon together with our four adoptive sibilings and their subordinates (who admittedly might not take up any space after the chapter they've been introduced in), all while probably fending off attacks from Hoshido and our blood relatives. And then there's Aqua, who's guaranteed to play a major part in at least one route, but more than likely all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
