God damn I love Shulk. Dunban's pretty great too but Shulk's always got a place in my heart for subverting my expectations.

Also, the dub in this game is fucking great. It feels so good to have good VA and not hearing Jennifer Hale, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Blum or Troy Baker.

>I fight for revenge

I love how Ike gets told to just walk away at Begnion and that his contract is fulfilled and everyone tells him to stop persuing the Black Knight and he straight up tells everyone to get the fuck out of his company if they try to stop him. Smash misrepresented Ike so hard. He doesn't even have any friends, he has one friend.

He's terrible, though. Especially compared to Estelle, who, while archetypal, had personality and was well executed. Rean barely qualifies as a character. He quips a tiny bit but everything else he says is just stock protagonist lines that could be said by pretty much anyone else. His quips aren't very unique or interesting or even funny either. He's just bland as fuck, like he's been made absolutely neutral on all fronts to appeal to everyone but ended up appealing to no one.

I'm at Valak Mountain now and its come up a few times in sidequests and his interactions with Dickson. IIRC it does get pretty forgotten by the time you get to the Fallen Arm, which is a shame because I'd love to have seen a heart to heart where he gives Fiora upgrades.

>>
>>342696182

The only time I kinda' liked Edge was after he blew up alt-Earth.

For a moment there I thought we'd see some real character arc, where the protagonist thought about how his actions differ in alternate timelines and questions if he is responsible for his own actions in every thinkable timeline or not.

Instead he literally forgets it after an hour.

The burden of wiping out your entire species in one move should have deeper emotional impact than an hour. He should have been a changed man for the rest of the game after this event.

Not something he shrugged of because friendship.

His Landlords have mostly just been normal dudes. I guess Garrett doesn't want to completely own a place just in case the city watch figured out where he lived. I know that in 2 they find the place he was living at and in 3 he lives somewhere else and the landlord there is being blackmailed and you can steal the money he's paying the blackmailer.

I think most of the loot he gets goes to buying more equipment to get more loot.
