So I take it a lot of the people asking why Mikoto doeesn't look old are not familiar with Asian genetics. :estatic:

There are theoretically older people who have had worse happen in their life and look younger, ha ha. For instance, my friend is in her late 40s, but when we got shopping together, someone has mistaken us for siblings. Nevermind the fact I am 27 and people ask me what grade I am in.

Also, just as a reminder: Age in If and Fire Emblem in general is not really comparable to the general time period of the technology used. This is a world with mystical healers and magical creatures, in addition to all kinds of heritage that could prolong life in ways beyond your imagination. Becoming ill is not likely to hamper health in the long run in their world as it does our own. Hell, besides a certain gemstone, cancer doesn't even exist.

I'll admit she should have anime bags under her eyes or something if she serves a country in the middle of war, but with how chill everyone else seems, I suppose that's irrelevant.
I don't remember many of the character names.
My favorite would either be that Oni chick with the muscles or the smug, Anna-looking girl.
And Leon, I know his name.
Her name is Oboro.

The usual.

You missed Sense Tuesday, where we made sure to apply common sense to everything, no illogical senses, no human senses, no false senses of security. Just a unified community trying to make sense.

You insensibly missed it, which makes no sense.

How dare you miss Sense Tuesday. :4dedede:
I was here on tuesday.

Also, didn't someone ask if Lunatic was in the game? Well, the offiicial website confirms it. If it helps, it's been translated by my friend @XKan over at Kantopedia. He's much better at this stuff than I am.
Ha ha. I didn't want to do that because I was afraid people were getting tired of it.

Few names have more
s than consonants. It's special, to me.
Camilla is the new Cherche.

That's certainly plausible. We have Sakurai and Hirohiko Araki to look at as examples.

Sassy, confident, axe-wielding beauty with a winning smile who may or may not have the ability to ride around on a big ****-off dragon while hacking her foes into meaty chunks?

I'unno, Hong mang, kinda gettin' a familiar vibe off of her.

Or did you think I was referring to something else~? ;3

Although they do both show their knickers as part of their armour.

I already knew asian people just get suddenly old when they reach 60 or so without aging a day before that, but Sakurai looks younger now than he did with 23. Wowzers.

Also I'm still suffering from this internet and no real affordable options to get a properly working connection. :{

So... is Nishiki a cat or a dog? :p Oh wait, dog ears aren't portrayed that way.

I hope to see more variety in the animal shape shifters. Hehe...

EDIT: He's a fox? How did you people know? :confused:

More info...

As for the descriptions.

Nishiki: A (fox thing) youth who lives in a remote region of Hoshido. As the succcessor to his clan following his father, he maintains the order among his comrades.

Kazahana: Well known as a prominent samurai of Hoshido. She escorts Hoshidan princess Sakura as her loyal retainer.

Tsubaki: Fights while riding a pegasus. This mannerism may make him seem like a gentle guy, but he is in fact very strict to himself.


Belka: A soldier who reports to the Nohrian princess Camilla. Well suited to Camilla, who greatly appreciates "strong girls". (So yeah, Belka is a female)

Luna: Like Belka, she is Camilla's subordinate. Hates to lose and isn't satisfied unless she is the very best at everything.

Nyx: Though she has the appearance of a young girl, she has a very mature personality. She has been living quietly (peacefully?) in Nohr.


Oh, and the Hubba Tester is making a return.

Ugh, IS why. My defection is imminent. I must befriend and protect the foxy folk. But I have to side with the objectively inferior Nii-sama to do so... ~How could this happen to me~

Luna's Japanese VA is Saori Seto! I called it!
Wow, the connections between Awakening characters and IF characters are becoming more and more apparent.

I remember that many people in the past, including myself, speculated that IF might be either a predecessor or successor of Awakening in terms of timeline. As of now, having Luna and Severa sharing very similar personalities, looks, and even the same voice actress is some mere coincidence anymore.

And with Inigo look-a-likes and the strange familiar aura that Aqua brings, it might not be surprising that Awakening and IF might as well be very related.

Inb4 Nohr gets a Manakete on their side as a response to Fox the Fire Emblem Unit.
It makes sense though. Manaketes are traditionally based on Western dragons, while Nishiki is obviously based on a Kitsune (now to wait and see if he has the nine tails to go with it.)

So I decided to look up the characters in IF... and saw this.



How many Tharja's are in this game?

:231:
I... uhh... lost count. Maybe... 3? 4?
I'm thinking she is exclusive to Hoshido.

Still better than what I could do.

You're still questioning your loyalty to St. Garon, it seems. :p

Yay Nyx! She looks so adorable with Elise! :happysheep:

Also found these. Think they sum it up pretty well.
