But then again, there's Cheria climbing up to be the Third Popular Female Character...

She's not exactly bland... but yeah

I think it's probably because of her fashion sense

oh and frozen rain!

*point fingers*

Klashikari was the one said 'bland', I said 'nice'

Surprisingly, gameplay seems to be a very big factor in popularity

I'll bet that's why Rita was the Number One girl

I'm sure it helps, but I wouldn't say it's a huge factor. Look at Flynn. He's only playable for maybe a third of PS3 Vesperia, yet he got #16 overall. It seems characterization from skits and story impact has more importance. Just look at Judith. I'd assume she'd be relatively popular, and she's playable for like 80-90% of Vesperia, and she didnt' even place. Same for Patty. While Patty got some great characterization from skits, neither of them had any real importance to the story (beyond Judith's initial introduction, she was basically a tour guide of the beast-spirit things).

No, I mean gameplay as in how much fun people had with them, or in other words how haxx they are

Both Yuri and Rita have infinite combo

Of course all this is baseless theory so take it as you will

I think, Flynn's popularity shot up from the Vesperia Movie...

GDB · 2012-06-04, 10:17

So does Milla, actually.

kuroishinigami · 2012-06-04, 10:31

Never thought Jude would rank that high, even the seiyuu of Xillia don't like Jude (they jokingly attributed it to knowing the person behind the character though

). Top three is just meh, I was hoping Milla might break at least the top 3, but no luck this time it seems ><

Quite possibly.

Hell yeah.

First thing in my mind when I saw that tagline was hoping it referred to Jude x Milla, as much as that tagline would break his characterisation from Xillia itself.

Excorsism · 2012-06-04, 23:13

Hoping for Jude x Milla to come back too. So Jude is 16 now, lol. Not too much of a difference. Silly Namco, instead of exploring this world in the first one, they do it via making a new game instead.

Some more info came out on the two characters:

Ludgar Will Kresnik: (again, romanization is not yet official) is 20 years old and is a normal young man who's currently living with his older brother. He's good at housework and is an excellent cook.

Elle Mel Martha: has a quote in the magazine that says she needs to go to the "Land of Canaan" to help her father. She's a level-headed and lively little girl who went on a journey to fulfill her wish of going to Canaan. She hates tomatoes.

Lulu is Ludgar's pudgy yet active cat who doesn't shy away from strangers. Lulu might even be the boss of the neighboring cats (what).

In the game's reveal, they showed us that making choices is a major feature of the game. The magazine apparently gives a funny example of one of the choices Ludgar has to make for Elle about her hate for tomatoes:

(Ah! Elle hates tomatoes!)
L1: "I wouldn't say I like or dislike them, but they are tasty."
R1: "Got it. I won't put tomatoes in it, then."

It'll probably end up being Rudgar. It seems to be more thematic based on various name meanings, and it seems to be how characters pronounce it in the trailer (then again, can't 100% go by how a character pronounces someone's name).

Quote:

I think that's supposed to be "neighborhood cats", so he's like the tough one that the other cats respect. In other words, a Fat!Cat version of Repede.

I'm still waiting for the trailer that teases us with the old casts' return........

Excorsism · 2012-06-28, 17:25

Leia and Alvin are back, woopie! That means the whole cast is back.

Well, all I really care about is Jude/Milla/Leia anyway. Here's hoping they're playable and not fixed at a certain level (I'm looking at you ToS2).

Shinji103 · 2012-08-01, 21:59

I'm starting to wonder if this game is really going to make it for its intended November release. We've seen very few updates here or on the homepgae for the game.

RRW · 2012-08-02, 01:20

Wait till TGS then we gonna to have lot of update

Von Himmel · 2012-08-02, 12:11

But we do have an update showing new Elise and that old man look..? I didn't save the picture though.

RRW · 2012-08-02, 12:36
