3 Houses had very distinctive names. Everyone in this game looks alike and the names aren't memorable at all. I'm still having fun but it's very anime e: Sorry I don't really mean anime, just like very childish I'll get over it Barreft fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jan 17, 2023 |

Endorph posted:no non-alear s supports/paired endings is lame, though. maybe they can patch some in? This one sucks. I hope this still means they get an ending slide of some sort. Lord Koth posted:Saphir is 35. Vander being 45 I can buy since his eyes don't look that old and he might just have gotten white hair early. Hell maybe his hair is naturally white. But 35??

oh my gerd I miss 3 Hopes. I hate being called by a title and not a name, and it's been at least 20 times these 2 hours alone lol gameplay rules though

And in Three Hopes it was Mercenary even if given how old Shez is there's a good chance they've been working as a general (in AG and SB) for as long as they were properly a merc anyway.

I know, and I loved 3 Houses. Maybe it's the 2 words You're both right, maybe it's just how Divine One sounds to me.

in jp its just 'shinryu-sama' which sounds less clunky than 'divine dragon'/'divine one' i feel like

Customizable names for the protagonist don't work at all in voice acted games where people address the protagonist directly all the time. There always has to be some workaround nickname/title that always sounds super forced. It's even funnier in the recent FE games where the protagonist can befriend and fall in love with other characters to the point where they want to marry you but they still call you by your stupid title.

it's pretty goofy here and i think they should just not let you rename the player character in future

No renaming the character, minor appearance options, dialogue boxes to respond to voice acted characters with occasionally. I wanna be able to pop out of my casket Anna or Sothis-sized and have people disbelieving that I'm up to the hype.

id just have the player character have a changeable real name and then an alias they use that is also a name, or smth. like say the protagonist is a divine warrior whose lineage all take up the name, idk, Jeff, when going into combat. and then you can have everyone just go 'hi jeff' in cutscenes and then in paired endings you can have the va go 'your true name? you will truly tell me... i am so grateful, lord...' and then cut away before they have to say your real name. thatd work i think. peace. but its also a tl issue partially because referring to someone just by a title is way more commonplace and comes across less awkward in jp.

Is renaming the MC/MU even that common practice? I know I wouldn't exactly be heartbroken if they just set it in stone. Like why even have defaults like Robin/Corrin/Byleth if they're never used? It all feels vestigial considering they're not truly blank template characters. Corrin was a dumb name though but chalk that up with the rest of the arbitrary and terrible name changes.

default names are mostly used for secondary material like manga, smash brothers, appearances in spinoff games, etc. what would they call corrin and byleth in this game if their default names didnt exist. that said i agree being able to rename them doesnt really add much. it made sense in fe7 because it was meant to be the characters basically addressing you the player to ease you into the gameplay, FE12 kind of carried that idea on, and fe13 was calling back to it, but the modern games having full VA and also not really building on that premise nearly as much makes it awkward.

Corrin was a dumb name though but chalk that up with the rest of the arbitrary and terrible name changes. The defaults are there both because you need some kind of name if the player doesn't feel like making one up, and also because you need a name to identify them in marketing/crossover stuff beyond "FE17_Protagonist".

You know, it'd be kinda neat if people had regional or personal variants on how they addressed you actually. Divine One, Exalted One, Your Grace, My Liege, Commander, etc.

I'd rather they just be named Robin/Corrin/Byleth/Alear, that's what I think of them as anyway, and hearing their name is worth way more than changing their name to my gamertag or whatever.RareAcumen posted:You know, it'd be kinda neat if people had regional or personal variants on how they addressed you actually.

Dragon Quest VIII everyone called you Guv'na or guv, which rules.

it makes more sense when the player character is a more direct self-insert but they've pretty much removed most stuff there now, no character customisation, not a silent protag, etc. and yeah the translation should have certainly handled it in a less awkward way here but idk what would have been a good choice exactly. 'professor' was fine in three houses because that's very natural in english but 'divine one' gets goofy very quickly if it's said too much. probably just 'my lord' would have been decent in a lot of cases idk

Endorph posted:Mage Knight exists, yeah. Magic + A melee physical weapon of their choice. No staves. Their class skill gives them bonus damage when attacking phys units with magic and magic units with phys. Given Clanne's decent str growth it seems like an intended class for him.
