My opinions for now
I see some differences with the original screenshots. Sol, for example, looks very different. He looks so very young, even juvenile or feminine. Meanwhile, in the original screenshots, he looked older and tired, which in my opinion suited him better. After all, he has been fighting for centuries (I know that is not exactly how it works, but you get my point). But hey, the generals are unchanged! That’s good news for me, as I always liked their designs. However… How is it possible for Ilia to be 645 years old, while Lia is 634? Lia is supposed to be the eldest of the two, right? That’s what their descriptions in Host of the Dark says, at least.
I find a similar problem with Akaria, she looks very androgynous, something that I don’t understand unless that’s the point of the character, like with Luminan in Host of the Dark (my opinion is VERY biased on this one. Every time I have seen that model, it was used for a male character or enemy class, so my brain associates it with men). Most importantly, her personality right now is Marth nonexistent. While with Sal we saw a great development during the whole story (even before the time skip, event that left him mentally scarred), Akaria is just… Well, a basic protagonist. Now, I understand this is the first patch, so I won’t criticize that yet. Just saying I hope you do a good job with her, just like you did with Sal. And… ? Why does she have 0 lead stars?
The difficulty is perfect for now. That general with the speedwings took too long to defeat, but I guess that’s the point of it.
The Personal Data screen is a lovely detail that it’s always nice to see. Thank you, Ghost.
Nazan the “princess”? It sounds like a man’s name, but sure! In any case, I am surprised to see it is not a man because you know, keeping the bloodline instead of adopting or naming a distant familiar/random noble next in sucession line, but alright. Although it could be a typo as well, I’ve seen some of those in previous chapters. (If you make them as cute as Fidem and Luminam, I’ll approve anything you write, by the way
)
The church thinks emotion is a flaw? I’m getting Tales of Berseria vibes. Are you a Tales of fan, Ghost? And who is this Mu guy and why can we name him? Our self insert, maybe?
Who am I missing? Why is there a empty deployment slot here? And why Sol hasn’t support with his generals? Specially with his daughters! Conversations between them would give their characters a lot of depth.
And that’s it for now. As you can see, it’s mostly non-destructive criticism. This is the first patch however, so I understand its lackings. I’ll eagerly wait for the next update.
