Eh, it does bothers me a bit that they are making
way too many painfully obvious expies. I'm still going to recruit all of them
but oh god, Severa 2.0 why.
I do like Odin's style, though, and not just because he reminds me of Owain

His critic is quite sweet too, what with hovering on the air.
In any way, I don't think they
needed to do this; Awakening only fans don't need painfully obvious expies of their favorite characters to be happy with a game, imo. I would have liked characters that felt freshier better, personally. It still doesn't spoil the game for me, though.
