So, it's been out for like a week or something. Who are your favourite characters in the game? I'm not going to make a poll, though, because there are just too many characters in this game for that.
I like Aegina, Emelone, Gulcasa, and Luciana.
Nessiah. And Nietzsche.
Elena, Zilva, and Luciana are cool too.
Elena. I love her :<
Nessiah, Gulcasa.
Roswell
Yggdra, yes.
Based on what I know, Elena gets another vote.
I would say Milanor, but Milanor's speech sucks ass in the English version.
Yggdra is so funny. xD Elena is another recent favourite of mine as well. Gulcasa, Aegina and Luciana are also awesome. Cruz WOULD be a favourite, but I hate his god damn sprite. Light yellow and blue just don't go together.
What are you talking about? Milanor has the funniest lines in the game.
Well, Yggdra has the best, but it's all being built off of Milanor's lines.
Some of them don't make sense due to the conditions. Like at the end of BF4 when you burn all the fortresses, Milanor exclaims " Yes! We smashed all their fortresses!"
Objective = Burn, not Smash.
... That is the stupidest complaint I have ever heard, I am banning you from LCN forever.
It can be a stupid complaint, but things like that gradually get on my nerves.
Would you have preferred it had I said that his lines don't sound like a Thief's lines?
They don't?
"I think I'll take this" in a random house doesn't sound like something a thief would say?
That's one of the few exceptions I've seen so far. Then again, I'm not really all that far into the game yet, so maybe its just that I haven't gotten far enough into the storyline.
.....Only interested Nietzsche and Pamela...
...
Eh... I bet it's because Roswell and Rosary didn't get as much development as other characters. After Chapter 2, they like, stop talking. But then again, Cruz had even less lines than they did, and that doesn't stop Chef from liking him.
Okay...I don't mind anyway.
Roswell and Nessiah are one of my favourites too...^^
Roswell is very loved.
Someone already wrote a fanfic centered around him.
I didn't know that O_O
From as far as I've gotten
Yggdra and Neitzsche
Just don't like Milanor because he is an axe weilder...
It's not like he could help it, jus...after Fire Emblem for the gba Comparing him and hector...well...
Just because he's an axe-wielder?
I would say Nessiah, and perhaps Roswell...
Zilva and Pamela (so cute).
Milanor and Roswell.
Gulcasa, Emilio, and Luciana. Yep.
...and Milanor's lines.
Nietzsche, Cruz, Roswell and Durant.
You should play through the game before asking questions about its plot.
I don't understand exactly WHY, but Nessiah just reached a whole new level of badass to me it.
It's settled. The Ancient is HIGH up there in my favorites list now... (no, not like that "Red Text High" that randomly appears on some characters. Which bothers me what they're implying...)
But I have a feeling I'm neglecting a truly deserving character...
It's not random.
HIGH is a status effect.
When an enemy has HIGH, they recover all Morale at the beginning of their turn, they start in Rage.
And since you can't have more than one status effect at once, an enemy that has HIGH obviously can't be poisoned/cursed/stoned/asleep.
What implications?
Just because you associate being high with being on drugs doesn't mean that was the designer's intentions.
Russell and Elena.
BF21 Spoilers.
yggdra and Milanor is my favourite characters!!
My favorites are Milanor and Elena so far, and Roswell, Yggdra, and Kylier are pretty awesome too imo
Roswell is my top favorite.
I like Elena,Pamela,and Nessiah also.
Roswell is now officially on top of the list. (6 Big Stars in ATK, MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!)
Then, I like Nessiah, Russel, and Pamela.
Kylier and Milanor are my faves.
Favorite Females: Kylier and Aegina (hawt)
Favorite Males: Cruz (even though never use :P), and Durant
Favorite Male characters: Durant (less for personality and more for the fact that Knights rock), Milanor (I must make one of those scythe/axes of his, even if I'd never be able to lift it ^_^ )
Favorite Female characters: Yggdra (she reminds me too much of Saber from Fate/Stay Night), Elena (once again, less for personality and more for the fact that Assassins rock almost as much as Knights)
I'll have to agree, Elena and Sir Shanks-Himself are pretty popular.(if you don't get the whole "Sir Shanks-Himself" thing, you need to play the game againXD) anyway, my favs. are Milanor and Russell, and my fav. female is Elena. and to make one thing clear....... MILANOR OWNES EVERYONES FACE XD Im' only on BF 37, and he has every stats Maxed out.....OwnedXD
I'm done.........O.o
That's because Milanor is seriously overpowered. Even in BF1, compared to Yggdra in BF2 and just about every character in the game, he's overpowered.
My milanor has max stats at Lv.15/14 or something...
And I decided my top favourite is Nessiah now...
He has every stat maxed out because you use him too much.
And shank is probably the vaguest term you could use.
And Sauce, that's the dumbest comparison you could use; Milanor starts at level three, Yggdra joins at level one.
And if you leave Milanor at level 3 and get Yggdra to level 3, Milanor is still more powerful. By a landslide.
Not really.
Stray Thief Level 20 stats: 36, 42, 40, 40.
La Pucelle Level 20 stats: 42, 40, 42, 30.
So wait, you're telling me that each character has a set growth rate?
Like for level six, they gain One ATK point and one GEN Point, and at level seven they gain say One ATK and one LUK point. Are those set in stone events, or are they randomly generated?
They're set in stone.
Oh, okay.
I didn't realize that their stats were pre-rendered from the startO.o thats kinda gay, because if you train a person harder then everyone else, shouldn't they be better? thats my opinon anyway......
And one other thing:Why does everyone think that Cruz sucks? just wondering......
I'm done now........O.o
MVP can make the difference...
I don't think that Cruz sucks. I just don't use him.
People think Cruz sucks because, when you get him, he's equipped with an AWFUL item.
while i dont remember what the item was, i still think he is pretty good, not better then the assassin mind youXD
i just meant that he kinda goes unoticed is allXD
Im dome.........O.o
But quite a few people draw him in a YU BBS...so he's not totally ignored.
point very well taken^-^ i just think he isnt as popular, like say.......roswell or gulcasaXD
(i finally got an iconXD 3 cheers for me^.^)
Roswell's really popular... I know... there is quite a number of Roswell fanart out there.
He's one of my favourites too(and so is Gulcasa) :x
But my absolute favourite is Nessiah
Haha...wait until you reach the later parts of the game...you'll get to know Nessiah more^^
Just wait a little while more...
Nessiah is the most important character in the game, but you likely won't recognize this immediately. Hell, I keep finding more ways in which he ties into the story...
Yeah, I didn't know it at first...
Nessiah <3
is he really that involed in the story line? i hadn't really noticed, i tend to zone out while playing, and don't really notice himXD but if Strum says he is, then i obeyXD
Yes, obey Sturm.
It is true. I agree with Sturm.
I feel that I'm getting out of topic, so sorry
Because Roswell is more beautiful
Huh? Who's kidding?
Well, Rosary's boring to me. Maybe it's because I'm a female as well. But even the guys like Roswell.
she is kinda boring, but ur are wrong about one thing: not all guys like roswell.........the stupid ones anywayXD he is the better of the two^-^
I said even the guys, not ALL.
And yes, he is the better of the two, for me
Ok, new subject: who do you prefer: Russell or Durant?
Durant
Haha... I always forget to look for the class-changing item.
But although I prefer Durant over Russell, I still don't really like him.
Russell over Durent for me. Gooo Astral Fencer! :D
I <3 Kylier, but she annoys me with all her (Dunno if this is spoilers, but I'll be safe)
i like durant in dragon knight unlike the normal one =D
Yggdra >_>
I'd use it as my display name but. Someone has it. So meh.
But yeah, Yggdra, Rosary, Nietzsche... and I guess Luciana and Aegina as well. Oh and Elena! So, basically just about every girl minus a few...
This board wants to encourage some originality with names.
I like Elena a lot.
Milanor is pretty cool too.
Am I alone in my complete adoration of Rosary? Maybe I'm a bad player, but Gulcasa would've been dancing on my grave without her fire resistance to even the score.
I like Rosary =p
But yeah, her Fire immune is very nice to have... At least as long as Gulcasa is in Rage and you don't Aggresive either...
new characters.. <3
Milanor, and Roswell. Also that hunter kid, but I forgot his ame. Cruz or something >_>
Overall favorite character: Nietzsche. She's just so darn cute in every single aspect. I enjoy all of her cutesy battle lines (especially the victory ones), and I love how innocently and sweetly she reacts to enemy bosses.
My favorite "comic relief" enemy has to be Inzaghi aka "worst mercenary ever"!! This guy is just so amusing in a pathetic way, and many of his retorts to the main characters' taunts are so weak. Heh, no one in the game respects him ...not even Nietzsche! xP
Durant Ain't all that bad...
But still, Milanor for pure pwnage at the design level. His weapon is probably the most original of the bunch. Seconded only by Gulcusa because of his class, Dragoon.
i know, his is pretty cool, its like a axe/sythe thingy, anyway it onws
Durant for me...but that's because I wasn't able to get any of the other characters besides the ones you HAVE to get to proceed in the game. I just killed killed killed and Durant was the one killing all the special characters I could've saved... >.<
There's only one.
I'm adding Inzaghi to my list, as he's one of the greatest comic relief sources in the game. While yes, I realize its supposed to be a serious game, he's just funny.
that guy got me mad after a whileXD
For me, I would have to say my favorites are Marietta, Ishiene, and Nessiah; they're cool! ^^
Nietzsche all the way o wo;
or, Pamela if she would have had a bigger role in the game..
i recently am adding Cruz to my favorite list.........no hating him please, its not his fault he is sub-par compared to ElenaXD
But Elena's a GIRL. Most people here prefer girl bowusers over guy bowusers! I mean, seriously. Just look at Lina! Not only is she a better bowman by default, but even if she wasn't people would still use her!
Besides, Elena could so kick Cruz's ass in battle anyways. Bloody Claw for the win! And if you can't use that, then find some other card. >_>
yeah, yeah, yeah, your right........i only like Cruz BECAUSE he's the only male bowsmen in either games....so that was my main reason. it seem that women make better archers.........
I doubt Elena would be on the winning side more often than Cruz.
Why's that Sturm? Proof please?
Hunters have a Lv20 GEN of 4, Assassins 2.
Hunters have a Lv20 ATK of 3, Assassins 3.
Hunters have a Lv20 TEC of 5, Assassins 5.
Hunters have a Lv20 LUK of 3, Assassins 5.
Hunters have Good on Forests and Good at Noontime effects (as well as the situation-negligible Good against Griffon Riders).
Assassins have the Good at Nighttime effect (as well as the situation-negligible Void Dark).
Neither can counter.
Noontime comes just as often as nighttime, except in perpetual <time> battlefields. Bloody Claw can be used only once.
It comes down to stats, and random, of course. If terrain comes in, Cruz'd take less Morale damage, but we'll leave terrain out. Although, it does let him void Ivy Whip, if that were ever to be optioned.
Now, on stats, Hunters have greater GEN than Assassins' ATK, so they'd take less Morale damage in the case of a loss, but Assassins have lower GEN than Hunters' ATK, so it hurts when an Assassin loses. They both have high TEC for the opening and counter, but Hunters have better GEN with which to guard against it. (As well as against skills, but we're counting both Lv20, no modifications to stats.) Assassin's have better LUK, leading to (potentially) more criticals. Since they have equal ATK, they'll be killing members at the same rate, so for clashes it comes down to the opening hit.
In a perfect world, Hunters will win every evening clash they start, and with Assassins starting evening battles it will be up in the air. Assassins will win all night battles they start, but still potentially lose every they don't. Hunters will win every noon battle.
So, lets split the two uncertainties and say Assassins always win at night, leaving Hunters to always win at Evening. That leaves four clashes for Cruz to win, and two for Elena. Factoring Morale damage, Crus will do more Morale damage than Elena in all circumstances, and, with the greater amount of clashes won, will also do more per cycle and thus will defeat the Assassin quickly.
Nice paragraph, Sturm. And that's all hypothetical because of the uncertainties. I'd say there's a 50/50 chance of either winning in Evening.
I said opening.
When the Cruz gets it, Elena's low GEN and their near equal TEC gives him the win. When Elena has the opening, it could be either, I discussed this, and how I handled it in my example, and I also pointed out that it was hypothetical.
*butts in*
: D I liked Elena more, why, cause I'm so super superficial and thought an assasin girl would be cooler than a hunter guy.
And bloody claw, oh yeah.
Anyway, through MVP bonuses (and the forbidden fruit hehe) my Elena had like 5, 6, 6, 6 in her stats.. hehe.
So, in the end .. Ness-chan got his ass kicked by a girl : (
i had the same stats for my elena as you did, but my cruz had 6 of every thingXD i used him as often as milanor.
Elena is my girl all the way.
I just wished that they animated more usage of the claws but I can't complain. T_T
Using both bow-people = sniping everybodies eyeballs.(I seriously love that moment)
Either way I use Elena ever sence. She ranks higher in coolness.IMO
i think its safe to say, i hope, that milanor is the strongest in most places. he gets maxed out at like level 13 or so.
Added a spoiler warning to the topic title since so many people are forgetting that Elena joining you is a spoiler. I MEAN, EVEN STURM FORGOT.
And I suppose I'll post more detailed reasons as to why I like who I like.
I like Luciana's personality, and how she seems to hold a huge grudge against Yggdra. She has a really interesting story, and I like to think about what could have happened to her in the past. :(
Emelone is like, a really cool queen. She decides things based on what her people want, not what she wants. I think that's cool. She's also very beautiful, and her story is really sad. Well, mostly just because the Undine story is sad, but yeah.
Gulcasa... I dunno. He looks pretty cool, has some pretty cool lines, a pretty cool name, a pretty cool personality, and I guess he's just "pretty cool" in every aspect. I think I've said "cool" too much in this post.
After playing one more playthrough, I think I wan't to alter my favorite list just a little.
First off Rosary is my favorite character, she totally rocks! I will only play as Roswell to complete the item list. Not that there's anything wrong with Roswell, I just purfer Rosary over him.
And then Queen Emelone as second, too bad she had to die, and to top it all off, it had to be so early in the game. I so would have rather had Emelone or Ishiene as the Undine you control over Nietzsche. I mean, they wearn't bad, they were fighting for a good cause. All of the fighting could have been stopped if Yggdra agreed help find that gem, which she does at the end of the game. All that fighting...for nothing...
No, the fighting couldn't have stopped as Emelone said.
And Yggdra did agree to help find the Transmigragem; why do you think Nietzsche joined?
i'm a little curious: is that the way Undines were belived to live from generation to generation? by using that thingy?
well i can't find any other way.
no males of thier species so can't breed.(dun try to pic it neither)
Okay...let me put this a little differently. Queen Emelone orders the undines to stop attacking the towns and helps Yggdra find the gem herself, or sends that super hottie Ishiene to help, Nietzsche can still tag along if she feels the need to. That way the humans are safe as well as the undines, and they worked together as a team; it would have made things much better.
So?
What is and what can be is rarely what ought to be.
I was only stating my opinion. Because Emelone is one of my favorite characters I came up with a solution that would have made the game better for me.
She would have still remained your favourite character if her resolve as a leader faltered so quickly?
Yes. Whether Emelone was an important character or not she still would remain among my top favorites. But I do think she is a very cool character design and personality, it's a shame that she didn't have a bigger part and remained an un-emportant character in the beginning of the game. I know what that's like all too well...
No, I was asking if you would truly still like her as much if she, you know, flopped.
Not that you can answer that question without bias, but, whatever.
And if you think she's an unimportant character, you weren't paying a lot of attention.
You're right, maybe my opinion is a little bias, so I won't bother answering that. But she died in the first BF she's featured in, un-like evey other character who constantly "Pulled Back" from battle. Her influence never stretched beyond BF 7. Doesn't all just seem like a waste?
Her influence does stretch beyond BF7.
Hence the reason Nietzsche goes with you to find the Transmigragem.
I do believe that if you had Nietzsche attack Emelone, Emelone does tell Nietzsche to go find the Transmigragem and something along the lines of "The fate of the Undines is in your hands". Sure, Nietzsche also had personal reasons for tagging along to find the Transmigragem (So she wouldn't be considered an Undine outcast because of what her sister did), but so she could also practically save the Undines.
Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, but because Nietzsche fights alongside Yggdra as part of the Royal Liberation Army to find the Transmigragem, it is proof that Emelone's influence stretches far beyond BF7, except that we don't immediately see it as Emelone's influence, but rather Nietzsche's resolve.
Nietzsche is not the only influence Emelone had.
Its the only one I've found so far.
Yggdra's future pursuits as a ruler, her discontentment with the continuing war and realization of opposing goods were all rooted in the events in Embellia.
I suppose you're right. But sence the games not really about that so it doesn't really matter, it seems like a waste to me.
The game is not about the continued war and Yggdra's rise to leadership of the world?
i second Sturm, isn't that the whole plot of the game?
Thirded. The whole "Take down Gulcasa after reclaiming Paltina" was just a stepping stone in the bigger scheme of things
I really like using Russel as a unit. I usually end up using Roswell in place of who Durant would normally face (especially since he owns the Weapons Triangle). Russel's attack rating seems to skyrocket. Unfortunately, his GEN leaves much to be desired. I still get a lot of use out of him...
Okay, what I'm trying to say is that; after BF 7 you never see or hear of, nor is there even a reference to what Emelone said or did. She had a part of what was going on in the story, but it all ended at BF 7.
Or is it you that have not been listening to what I said... Ask yourself.
More baiting. We explained the Emelone's influence is visible far beyond BF7, and you responded with the equivalent of "noo she dies she cant do stuf lol"
Baiting - To place a lure, or to trap; to entice, especially by trickery or strategy; to attack or torment, especially with persistent insults, criticism, or ridicule; to tease.
Now is everything I say an act of baiting, or are you just easy...bait.
No, everything you say is not baiting, which is why I haven't quoted more posts of yours saying "QUIT BAITING."
You've quoted enough of my posts I'm staring to get sick of re-reading our ridiculous arguments. The more I do the less I think of you.
*sigh* You two are at it AGAIN?
GAAAAH.
Anyway...
I love all the party members, but some more than others. Yggdra is just too cute to not squee over, and the rest of the cast all has their amusing moments--for some examples, there's the conversation between Cruz and Emilia if you move him next to her in the Lombardia BF, and between Nietzsche, Aegina, and Flone
I didn't do it to him because Rhea added "(SPOILERS)" to the topic title before he posted.
Sturm, you are evil. *kick*
It has nothing to do with being evil.
It has to do with you breaking the rules in this thread, then Rhea making it so that that rule is not so easily broken here.
Rosary's cute....
Why is Setsuna wearing those arm things and nothing on her upper arms?
sorry for the randomness......but my favorite is Mizer
Moi;
everyone, can't choose. Changes every time. But here's what I think now;
Yggdra, Nessiah, Neitzsche, Roswell, Gulcasa, 367(Don't ask.), Kylier, and Russle.
Russle's line are funny. (Not dailouge, stuff when you move a certain unit in front of another.)
Like in Lombard(ia);
Mardym: Curse ye devilish one, fear ye not the wrath of God?
Russle: Hey! I'm no angel, but I'm far from being devilish!
And, yeah, I dig Milanors lines too.
my favorite characters are Roswell, Rosary, Leon, Aegina and Luciana
most favorite character is Luciana
Heh heh. Just a rant from her suitor. LOL!
After reading a couple of topics, I realized I don't like Kyrie as much as a lot of you guys.
I liked Mistel and Cruz, but I just completely stopped using them shortly after getting them. Milanor and Yggdra are awesome in my opinion. I honestly liked just about every villain other than Leon.
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IS VAHN.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR LIES. I KNOW ENZD IS YOUR FAVORITE ENZD.
BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS OWN BATHE SCENE.
AND I DO???
I don't have any faves in my list, I personally liked Nietziche and Roswell
Nietzsche and Emilia - *I'm a bit of a Lolicon, but heck, they're so cute eh haha*
Rosary, Eudy and Pamela - ...I like witch girls
Ishiene and Emelone - Simply... simply and
And lastly... Archangel Marietta - My all time favorite smexy angel
Favourite characters? Well let's see...
Playable: Milanor, Durant, Mistel [PSP Only.], Rosary, and I think Elena. The rest are mediocre.
Villians: Gulcasa. Too bro-ly. And also Aegina & Luciana are cool ladies. Hell, Baldus is a bro.
