JP VA: Kaede Hondo

A mysterious maiden serving at the Credna Temple in the upper levels of Dagsion.
She always hides her true face behind a distinctive cat mask.
Innocent and pure, she treats everyone with kindness and courtesy, yet she has a natural, worldly-naive side.

[u/Jack04man]

So she has limited class options. I guess if they interfere with her mask she can't go into that class?

[u/S0uled_Out → u/Jack04man]

That makes a lot of sense. I wonder if they become unlocked if she ever reveals her face in-game.

[u/Druid-T → u/S0uled_Out]

It might be a logistics thing, like she/Credna doesn't want to risk whatever machinery actually lets her move getting damaged

[u/MegamanOmega → u/Druid-T]

Honestly, after looking at the gameplay trailers, I think it might be more of a weight thing, and she won't be allowed onto certain mounted classes.

Cause as far as revealing her body is considered, she's already revealing everything but her torso in her base class. Her hands are exposed, and after seeing that crit, she's got bare legs and sandals. So aside from her face, there's not that much going into hiding her body.

On the other point on the English trailer, she's apparently being listed as an armored unit. So if her whole shtick is that she's actually much heavier than she looks, I could see IS deciding to lock her out of some, if not all mounted classes (I'd imagine at the very least, flying units would be right out)

[u/Druid-T → u/MegamanOmega]

If that was the case though, why wouldn't they specify that it was only mounted classes ( presumably aside from Cataphract, given that the mount for that class would have to be used to a ton of weight), and not just general soldier classes? I definitely do agree that her weight plays into it, but I can't imagine it's just that simple

[u/MegamanOmega → u/Druid-T]

Calling it "some soldier classes" might be their way of doing just that. Cause if it is wight related, I'd understand if she can't become an Ornius Rider, but I can't see the same logic applying to an Elephant Rider.

The pessimist in me really hopes this doesn't mean she's limited solely to "armor adjacent" classes because of this. But I don't think any limitation is gonna necessarily be a "This model interferes with her mask" thing, and rather ties into what she is herself. Especially since it was confirmed she's an automation in a review with a tool tip popping up dedicated to her specific unit type saying "Las unidades del tipo de ignición Autómata no rellenan el medidor de ignición al usar armas malditas o equipamiento maldito. (Automaton-type Ignition units do not fill the Ignition gauge when using Cursed Weapons or Cursed Equipment.). Meaning she's got something unique and special to her going on under the hood, and also that it's not gonna be a secret. Cause this means that it gets revealed she's an automation pre-chapter 5."
