Tales of Vesperia stuff
Up to Hypionia (sp?).
OMG SODIA <3 ...Actually I don't really like her, but you have to enjoy someone that crazy. Talk about poor impulse control. Sodia has increased my love of Yuri/Flynn, too, as when she says "STAY AWAY FROM THE CAPTAIN" what I hear is "STOP MAKING HIM GAY FOR YOU."
Why is Raven a Ladies' Man? Do all the women in Dahngrest just have really bad taste? Anyway, I totally had a hunch that he was Schwann, but I want to know how he ended up in Altosk. Was he spying for Alexei, or trying to escape from him? I have a feeling there's an optional scene that explains this, because there seems to be one for everything else, but I haven't found it yet.
I love skits. I think my favourite so far is everyone convincing Karol and Estelle about the magical globe-trotting Synthesist. Also Karol's secret love for gels is pretty funny.
I wish Karol had a different voice actor. I actually like him a lot, but he sounds SO BAD and it takes away from my enjoyment of his character development! Also he's so slow in battle, and I've been forced to control him at least three times, and it has driven me nuts. ...But I love his pink dress.
All the characters in this game are pretty much fantastic. I was so happy to have Estelle back in my party, and not just because she's the healer, she's such a well-developed character and I love her to bitty bits.
More later.
