And the reason he was in Zofia was because private duels=death penalty in Rigel. Meanwhile, Genny was born out of an affair. Interesting. Also, them being on the same page totally further implies that they married. Hopefully we get to see Faye's profile soon. I thought we already knew it was an affair but double checking her dialog the only mention of her father is her final base conversation. Though I suppose it doesnt take much to read between the lines. Being nobility might also explain hedging her "story" as a princess looking for a King other than just romantiscizing the story. Man it's a shame Genny only got one support. Her base convo and her Sonya support were great, it'd have been nice to get a support with Boey or Mae. A priory DLC going on weird adventures would have been a fun counterpoint to the Deliverance dlc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is that its with Sonya, meaning that if you don't recruit her, Genny loses her ONLY support partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, stuff like that makes me think supports were an afterthought in Echoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Shit, I don't even know what to say. I guess... I want all these background stories fully fleshed out. DLC maps or memory prisms or a game full of mini-stories or what have you. Saber, Deen, Nuibaba... Damn. I patiently await more goodies. @Kirokan Yo, put your little plus sign for Saber in the first post. ...Sorry, that sounded kinda rude. Pretty please.

It wasn't rude, don't worry. : ) I did so just now. I played the game so long ago and am less familiar with its lore, so am not actually sure what's new or not until I see the reactions in the thread. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel07 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The wording at the end of Genny's profile is curious. It makes it sound like she didn't marry an older man in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of that might be literally who she married but if its not an older man it still qualifies. Oh this reminds me, is there no where in this that mentions ages of the cast? That surprised me since Echoes wound up being one of the few games that actually gave ages for almost everyone (Berkut, Fernand & Rinea being the big exceptions; Rudolf & Jedah had their ages for some reason), even if they did go unused.

I guess for me I never fully understood the "no one expected" comment of her ending, possible because I wasn't sure how many of Genny's friends actually knew about her interests.

Little details like this helps show how even small stuff in a characters design can add to their character. Not going to lie, Saber's backstory almost reminds me of Mycen's if life wasn't as kind to him. It's also interesting that, despite being a nation lead by strength, Rigel knows that duels always end with one officer or soldier dead over a pointless conflict, and banned it with the death penalty to ironically prevent needless deaths. I find several of Nomah's lines be hilarious and underrated, so I wish that he had more supports and more opportunities to show both his pious and mischievous side. We already know this stuff with Conrad, although I do like the hint that he does the housework himself, probably being one of the few nobles who doesn't have a servant. Well it says private duels are forbidden. So presumably public duels where you fill out the right forms and alert the authorities are a-okay. While a private duel...that's kind of straight up murdering someone. I'm sure Saber probably have the guy a fair (enough) chance, but Rigel has no reason to believe that. Anyone could kill anyone else and just put a sword in the corpse's hand and say "We had a duel! I did nothing wrong!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirokan Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Three new pages! Nothing too new, maybe Kliff's stuff is? Either way been super busy, sorry for taking so long: 092 Gray and Tobin093 Kliff and Faye100 Boey and Mae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Nice, nice. A bit disappointed that there wasn't really any new info on Faye but oh well. Kliff, on the other hand, might be the most interesting of the Ram Villagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaxis1 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Faye, you continue to be a constant source of disappointment. There wasn't even two full paragraphs for you. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: Kliff, on the other hand, might be the most interesting of the Ram Villagers. And then he goes to Archanea and gets with someone, and their son is said to be really gifted in magic. My bet is on Linde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I feel a bit mixed on the characters profiles. From some entries it gives new details for certain characters. While for others it's just a summary of their event in the game. I prefer the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDtheBA Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Lol, est doesn't want to be an est. Also, Jesse has become one of my favorite characters thanks to the little details in this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 IT LIVES. \o/ Pure excitement. About Palla's "sweetheart". There must be a better word to use. Sweetheart implies they are together as a couple. It's more like "secret crush". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 How exactly would Jesse running away be better for his half-brother? Unless the law mandated he be disinherited and put to death upon Jesse's ascension, if the brother was really frail, being the head of a noble house would do no good for health. Jesse should have taken the leadership and just given his brother comfort and a stress-free position within the family. If Jesse just wanted freedom, well that is another story. Still, thank thee Kirokan and anyone else involved for translating this stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, thank thee Kirokan and anyone else involved for translating this stuff! That depends entirely on the character of his half brother. It's possible he might have executed Jesse as a threat if he ascended, and Jesse's position was either depose his brother or run away to survive.

Let's say that it happened the way you described, and then some nobles decided that they didn't like Jesse. Cue succession war.

And that would just get people and his brother killed. So better to leave and let his brother take over so that there is no struggle.

I'll hopefully change it for the final rendition, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause Marla says that she's angry at Sonya, while Hestia is said to have died by her sister's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
