( ﾟ＾∀＾ﾟ)ノ eee I have the FE 20th anniversary artbook

[professor_tammi]

(yes I know nobody cares, but I'm going to make an overly elaborate post about this either way)
For once the subject is sort of relevant, because this post is going to be about the 20th Anniversary Artbook (I'm really late to the party but um) and what little of the Japanese in it I actually understand, which is barely anything, really, because I

Mansel pic? Do want.

[professor_tammi]

Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I finally managed to take some photos~ The quality is really awful, but I still hope it's better than nothing:

Mansel
Morva (... because why not)
Yuria

Man, Mansel looks... kinda cool. Lovely 8D Thank you.

Does this one have furigana? The Elibe artbook does, aside from the support conversations. My knowledge of Japanese is still pretty basic, but I've been able to translate a few character profiles here and there. Good luck!

[professor_tammi]

No, there's very little furigana! It's still possible for me to look up Kanji by their radicals, of course, but it takes forever - and even when I do know the meanings of all the words in a sentence, the grammar is usually what ends up confusing me instead. orz But thank you! :)

Kyza being transgender is definitely interesting! especially because he doesn't fit the stereotype of the trans in high heels and pink dress so often seen in anime and games (not that there is anything wrong with that, I just find that kind of character to be a bit...redundant).
Italian has gendered pronouns but he/she uses the male ones and never speak feminine in the least in the translation.. but still, Nintendo has the bad habit of censoring transgender characters (see Birdo) :/
In any case, Tellius is like...the paradise of sexual minorities. I love that. XD

ps. Do I have to live with the knowledge that Soren goes to brood in a corner like a puppy everytime Ike acts like a jerk? because Ike is often a jerk. Soren's life is hard. XD

[professor_tammi]

Kyza doesn't really seem stereotypically feminine at first, so yes, it's rather subtle~

Hmm, the particular line where Kyza uses "atashi" is apparently in one of his support conversations with Ranulf, though, so I'd guess you'd have to check those somehow to be sure? ... now I'm starting to wonder if there's an Italian script for RD somewhere! But um, well. I really hope NoA didn't censor it. ;A;
And yes! Tellius seems to have quite a few LGBT-characters ♥

Aww poor Soren ;_; apparently being scolded by Ike causes him to ~brood~ while doodling silly things on the ground? (... but then again, I can only really recall two times when Ike calls Soren out on his rudeness, and he apologized for it the first time so)
Actually, if you look closely, it sort of looks like he's writing "999". Obviously we need a 999/FE crossover now! :D

See, people do care!
Pretty art is pretty! And more proof that Heather is a lesbian is a good thing.
What counts as a paired ending? I mean, Haar and Jill obviously have one and it's not like it's stated outright though.

[professor_tammi]

Haha, for some reason I can't seem to make LJ posts without telling myself that nobody cares about what I write, even when they do. I'm really not sure why. ... it's kind of silly. orz

But yes, the art is very pretty! Now I'm kind of curious as to whether the rest of Heather's profile has any more hints on her character or not. If I ever have some more time to waste, I might try to see if I can translate something else. :D

A paired ending is basically any ending which changes when two characters reach an A support, I guess? So Ike has paired endings with Soren or Ranulf, whereas Mist has one with Boyd, etc.

Well, I am totally the same in RL, always apologizing, so I really can't say much!

I wish I could understand Japanese; it would be cool and help with fandom stuff. Trying to navigate some sites to find fanart and the like can be tricky. :(

Ah, I see. (Video games, always my forte!) Thanks!
