All this makes me wish there was more character interaction.

Bright eyed Tressa sets off for adventure, only to come across a woman who worked in the sex trade in order to find the men who hurt her family and brutally murder them.

An adventure is an adventure, you can't be too picky about that stuff.

Besides, Tressa is very good at looting bodies and murder is very efficient in creating more bodies to loot

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Meanwhile the inverse of that exchange, in Tressa’s C2 is adorable. :3:

After losing in a trade war for the day, Primrose gives Tressa a spirited pep talk to fire her up for the next day’s business.

One of my best early game moments was playing H'aanit's chapter 1 where she comes across the massacre left in the monster's wake and does her little speech, then as soon as I regain control while I'm standing in the middle of all these dead bodies Tressa just "happens" to find a ton of gold.

it's great and one of the reasons I wanted to try Primrose on my team. Her interactions are pretty good so far!

Not as good as Alfyn's though :kimchi:
Aww you made a new pal! Also he calls her Tress!

You are way overexaggerating it. There's a consistent syntax. It isn't accurate to any historical version of English but it is internally consistent and easy to parse if you are a native speaker, not random.

If I could turn off specific VAs I would turn H'aanit's off.

But only one out of eight characters with bad lines is good enough for me to deal with it.

Im still in the middle of the Chapter 1s (two characters left) and noticed something strange about leveling. Cyrus is my main character, Olberic was my 3rd. Somehow, Olberic has outleveled Cyrus by about half a level - he hit 18 before Cyrus, and by the time Cyrus hit 18, Olberic was halfway to 19. I think I may have had one fight finished with Cyrus dead, but could this one fight have made such a difference? I also could have sworn Cyrus got XP/JP for it even though he was dead, but I could be wrong about that.

I started the game last night. After much agony, I decided to start off as Alfyn. I knocked out his first chapter, and I am now in the middle of Therion's chapter 1.

I was not expecting to be drawn into the game like this. Very excited to see where it goes!

I really can't get into Cyrus's VA. He just sounds like he's trying way too hard to sound like The Smart Guy to me. His VA is the reason I picked Alfyn to start with instead, really.

I also don't like Therion's VA much. He's really nasally and leans on the Always Sound Sardonic button too hard.

Everyone else is good, though.

Cyrus is Miles Edgeworth being roped into playing D&D and finding out he actually enjoys it way more than he expected.

And that's just great.

I do like Therion's voice actor. But I think it's neat how he was one of the minds behind the Brawl taunts, and the other part of the pair voices Cordelia Ravus.

Therion's battle voice always sounds to me like he's been shoved into the fight and he's awkwardly laughing at the enemies to diffuse the situation. That might say more about me than the performance, though.

dead characters definitely do not get XP/JP, and as previously mentioned the rest of the difference possibly came from duels

I assume he gets some more story in his later chapters but it's sort of funny how Therion is just straight up a thief (not to mention a jerk). No 'treasure hunter' or excuses, he just wanted to rob that mansion because it had valuable treasure in it (and Tressa was in as soon as she heard the word "treasure"!)

I don't mind the voice acting but a lot of it sounds like it is someone clicking play on a .wav file as each box pops up. I guess the days of the PSX FFs have me trained to power read the dialogue.

H'aanit's "Nnnyuugh!!" is actually the highlight of any given battle for me, I'll have you know.

Also I just finished my first Chapter 2 and it was easier than I expected, especially with H'aanit still at level 19. But since everyone else was at 25-26, it was probably made up for with that.
