Other than that, she looks more like a flower girl. That's FE9 Sanaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a less-attractive voice, too. Someone at IS certainly likes Sanaki; she's the first Tellius character to get in at all, and she's the first to get a seasonal costume.

Medeus Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) ...I'm just going to pretend that I did not see Sanaki put on a banner made for brides, because I do not want to think about why they thought that was a good idea. I'll probably pull for Ninian because flying dancers are always going to be good on utility alone, I just hope her speed is good.

Which her bridal version is based off and Lyn's actual age is 15-16. Sanaki being a bride is pretty tame here. It could be worst. The thing about Caeda and Lyn is that unless I'm recalling very wrongly here, they generally aren't treated as "kids". They just happen to be rather young. Sanaki's first introduced as a 10-year-old (and Ike calls her a child before he realizes she's the apostle), and even in RD her young age seems to be brought up. She doesn't even fight until part 4 when shit breaks loose. So that's probably why it feels more wrong. (Also, I didn't know Caeda was supposed to be 14 in SD, where is that said?)

Anacybele Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I guess I'm passing again. I like Sanaki, but she is definitely not my first choice for a Tellius alt, even if I'm glad to see a character from there get one. Also, like Sunwoo/Sangyul said. She's THIRTEEN. I don't care for Ninian or Tharja at all. Especially Tharja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Lyn's age was changed for localisation, but I dunno about Caeda. Probably due to breast jiggling sprite animations. Can't sexualize teenager...in America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Book Bro Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 10 year old bride, seems legit. Please don't loli-fy Sanaki IS... Not a fan of the art here, Tharja's is the best of the bunch but I'm not interested in her. I'll try for the tome fliers since I still don't have any. Nice to see Marth finally get an alt too!

Florete Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I don't know about the Japanese, but it seems the localization at least is trying to make Sanaki's case...as not-terrible as possible. Title is "Apostle in White." No bride, even though the other two have 'bride' in their titles. And her quote, "This outfit is just for the festival. Don't get any weird ideas." That second sentence in particular sticks out as them trying to damage control before any damage actually happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel07 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I gotta admit....Tharja's artwork is actually not bad. Probably the first art of her I genuinely don't mind. Will it be enough for me to want to get her though? Who knows, but credit due when credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricaofRenais Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Oh good, I get the only one I care about for free. I can save my orbs and be happy with groom!Marth. Out of the brides I only like Tharja and only then because her art appeals to the goth teen that still lurks in my heart and in my dress choices. Now I don't feel so bad about blowing my orbs earlier. Good luck to the people who are pulling on this banner I hope you get who you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it's kind of like how people got a bit up in arms about Leo's "Will you act like the adult you technically are?" to Elise in Fates. Localization probably wouldn't have had to try to make Elise seem a bit older if not for the fact that the girls in Fates actually do marry and give birth to a child (as opposed to the children coming from another world in Awakening).

ChickenBits Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Alts for Marth and Ninian!! Tharja is also looking amazing with her black dress. Marth my boi, you've finally got an alt and the moment I get you you're gonna s-support B!Caeda. R.I.P merges for legendary Ephraim, I'm going all out on this banner unless IS pulls my leg and gives us Legendary Marth. Wait, I thought B!Caeda takes place after book two since she gets married to Marth at the end. She's 18 by that time and it makes more sense.

kirauza343 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Not super interested in any of these to be honest. I'm dying for a mage flier so I can replace Nowi, but Ninian being a ranged dancer hurts (plus I already have Airzura as a staple of my flier team) and Sanaki just doesn't appeal to me, especially when my desire to replace Nowi is to have it so I don't have that kind of character on my flier team (Sanaki may not be sexualized but come on, she's a child in a wedding dress). I'll probably still pull for Ninian at least, but not too hard. @Rezzy I will say I am looking forward to Marth, though not as a unit: I've decided his axe belongs to the superior bride, Titania.
