K: “None of the characters are perfect; all of them have flaws because it is human nature, and it is precisely because of their flaws that they meet the fates that they do. The enemies are by no means the only ones with evil in their hearts.“

K: “Ethlyn being tomboyish comes from anecdotes of her as a child. Since she is a woman of noble birth, I would think she would’ve changed after marrying Quan, so it’s not as if she necessarily retains her tomboyish qualities. Deirdre isn’t the most sophisticated woman, so Ethlyn might be closer to a traditional heroine instead; at least, that’s how I had planned it.”

(Reminds one of the beta rumors where she was a Lord-class character.)

“Heuga: By the way, I’ve been wondering, why did Quan bring Finn with him when Finn’s still just a knight-in-training?

Kaga’s comment: Finn was orphaned after his parents passed away; basically, he and Oifey are in similar situations. He’s like a page in terms of ranking. The reason Finn is brought to battle may also partly be due to his own wishes to join in.”

(Why the hell does Team Leonster let fifteen-year-olds wage war because they feel like it? Even Sigurd has more sense than that. To revive an old argument, no wonder Finn signed off on Leif going to war in FE5.)

K: “The size of the troops in reality would be larger than what is shown in-game; there’s no way Sigurd’s army consists only of the characters you control. Similarly, Finn would be but one of the hundreds of subordinates led by Quan.“

(That contradicts what Quan says in-game, but OK...)

K: “Each person has flaws of their own, and while Eldigan is great as a person, his over-conscientiousness was his flaw. Basically, he’s just too straight-laced.”

K: “While I won’t say I intended for Sigurd to feel the same way, Edain feels friendship for Sigurd due to the time they spent together as childhood friends. Her courters are only interested in her romantically, so Sigurd may be one of the only ones she holds respect for. Edain is Edain, and she’s not really the type to be head-over-heels in love, not to mention that she also has her own goal of searching for her elder sister.“

(YOW.)

Tsukamoto: Naoise didn’t end up with anyone in my game.

Kaga’s comment: Right, he’s barely in any events. He’s like Cain from the previous games, a character who walks the righteous path of a knight. In a way, he kind of reeks of masculinity. Naoise, Alec, and Arden are like ‘transparent’ characters who don’t carry any special bloodlines or outstanding stats, like Cain, Abel, and Draug from the previous games. They weren’t given any backstory either.

(Double YOW)

K: “While [Finn’d] be about 34-35 years old in Seliph’s chapter, I didn’t want to age his appearance like I did for Oifey.”

(BIAS. Poor Oifey.)

K: “Altena resembles Ethlyn, after all…Finn has a strong sense of admiration for Ethlyn. Not in a romantic way, more of looking up to her as an elder sister figure.”

(Yaaaaaaay. Big sis Ethlyn.)

K: “Sigurd is a highly flawed person, so when Azelle says “He’s nothing like Arvis” when he meets Sigurd, it was because Arvis was closer to a ‘perfect being’ than Sigurd was.“

;_;

“Heuga: By the way, Lester and Lex resemble each other a lot for some reason.Kaga’s comment: Although the children are determined by their mothers in the final game, the initial plan was to decide each pairing’s children based on both the father and mother. However, we couldn’t implement that no matter how hard we tried due to capacity limitations, and so it ended up the way it is right now. Since some of the children were taken from those we had originally created before having to cut them down, you might find that some children actually resemble someone else. “
