I just noticed: Are those spikes on the bottom of her bustle? Why!? It just seems like she asking to stick one in her calf. Does she need to use her dress as a tent?

When people say "tomboyish" in a medieval game, I think of Arya Stark. No Liz, you aren't as cool as her.

Tomboys in anime (or most fiction really) tend to be pretty generic male archetypes that are female. Lisse is very girly, but with boyish interests and pursuits. I wouldn't say it's more realistic, exactly, but it's kind of interesting as long as it doesn't fall into the 'genki girl' trope down the line.

So how are those cutscenes animated? Some sort of celshading? The movements don't look hand drawn but if it's 3D they're using some unusually pretty painterly overlays...

They're cel-shaded, yes. There are some REALLY good cel-shadings being done now. Check out the recently release Ni no Kuni or Valkyria Chronicles for more examples.

I just had a flashback to the CG cutscenes in Path of Radiance and the horrendous voice acting. I assume the VA in Awakening is better than that.

Yeah, it's good. Chrom sounds like Troy Baker, but apparently he's not? Either way, it's much, much better then RD and PoR.

I've watched a tiny bit of the intro cutscene and read a bunch of stuff from Serenes Forest (mostly stats, item lists, etc.) but that's about it. Good to hear that they improved the VA work. Just plunked down the money for a 3DS XL, now I'm committed

It's Roger Craig Smith, no seriously listen to Chris from RE5, they are the same dude. I didn't hear Troy Baker myself, but maybe I'm just crazy.

Stuff like this is why I'm not overly fond of the art direction. Just a lot of really stupid, Nomura-esque pointless fobs and poo poo on outfits. Like the fact that Frederick appears to be wearing some kind of tux/formal suit underneath his armor? And Chrom's pants. On an unrelated note, Walhart is a pretty solid localization. I imagine it's meant to evoke a German accent.

That is awesome! Very awesome! Gangrel "Do not try to kill ALL the soldiers, my dear. We'll need a few for the welcoming party." I'm going to like this guy.

Still chuckling at the fact that they really have forgotten the fact that http://www.fire-emblem.com/ exists  Also a few of those name-changes are surprising and probably not what I would have done working on the project myself, but there's nothing wrong with them. The one thing I AM going to complain about, having looked at "Say'ri"'s page is that they seem to have gone nuts with the apostrophes for everything concerning the land she and Lonqu are from. I hate hate hate HATE when people do that because that isn't really the correct use of an apostrophe and looks very contrived (even if, in this case, I think I see why they did it). It's a personal complaint, but a significant and distracting one.

Yeah, they really love the apostrophe there and I think there would have been better ways to handle that. Every character from there has one in their name and it's just weird to look at, weird to type, weird to try and say, and weird in general.

I'm just going to pronounce all the apostrophes as glottal stops.

You could make a savefile where you're at A with every available marriage candidate, then S rank one of them, reload, then do that for all the characters.
