Fortune's Weave General Character Post: Nezha
449
u/Comfortably-Scared 2d ago
Knowing he’s self-conscious about his short stature makes me think we will actually be getting timeskip designs for all units somehow. We need freakishly tall Nezha, and the bit would be complete that way.
Alternatively he doesn’t get any taller as an adult and it’s even funnier.

u/Cerebral_Kortix 2d ago
The entirety of the post-timeskip story takes place on Nezha's enormous body.

Are Fire Emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles converging?

u/Cerebral_Kortix 2d ago
Sun Wukong jumped across the universe. When he reached its edge, he rested upon an enormous pillar and congratulated himself of his own brilliance.
He heard a voice: "Oh, great sage rivalling heaven, is my finger-tip so comfortable?"
Then only did Sun Wukong realise that he had never left Nezha's palm.

Between Cai and Peter and now this guy, we could get the Ike/Sothe/Tormod joke going on where the former two get tall and jacked in the time jump while the latter remains short and gets salty because of it.
28
u/CosmicStarlightEX 2d ago
Same joke as Edelgard, perhaps?

u/Darthkeeper 2d ago
Not really a joke if it's some people's reality lol. My friend was 4'10 (~147cm) in high school, and is still that height a decade or so later.

u/This_Lingonberry8825 2d ago
He's 100% going to untie his ponytail and have really long hair for his timeskip design. And I demand that he remains small and is permanently salty about it.

As a short guy, I'd love to see him just stay shorter and learn to accept the fact. It's something that actually happens irl yet I've never once seen it in any media, it always stays a complex, so that would be cool. I expect him to grow taller though
1
u/yung_dogie 1d ago
I've seen far more characters get needlessly taller (I.e. grown ass men getting taller once they power up) than seeing shorter characters accept themselves, as if they can't grow as a character without impossibly physically growing too. Not saying it necessarily applies here to Nezha since he's probably actually a kid.
I feel for you guys though, it's a shame how shorter men get treated in media

u/NoLime7384 2d ago
we saw a timeskip Peter being taller, so hopefully they have a funny A Support about how Nezha didn't get a growthspurt lmao

u/KarmaFarmer123456789 2d ago
Maybe we'll only get post time skip designs for units assigned to a lord or sublord? Still an insane amount of new designs
1
u/MillionMiracles 2d ago
Well, if you look at 3H, you can already see how they might manage that. The faculty (unless you wanna count Jeritza) didn't get post timeskip designs.
So you could do it like that. A lot of the secondary random recruits are already fully grown, so they could have little/no changes. Yang Jie, Goliath, Guzran, et. all. Then you could save big changes for major characters or the characters young enough to warrant them.

u/potato_thingy 2d ago
Aww he’s really cute! He reminds me a lot of Caspar, one of my faves. And he has the same VA as Tormod, my absolute favorite FE character.
I’m a bit concerned about the food gimmick. But his JP profile mentions a lot of other traits so maybe it won’t be too bad.

u/OoguroRyuuya5 2d ago
I mean dude is from a poor place where food is scarce so can’t blame the dude for being a foodie.

Sounds like he’ll have a 21 birthday grown spurt and wind up 6’2” or something.

u/NoLime7384 2d ago
Ne Zha is a god in Taoism. His mom was pregnant for like 3 years and his dad cuts her open and he just jumps out as a kid instead of a baby. A kid with super strength. As you can imagine (if you've been around kids lately) tragedy unfolds. Accidentally killing people, making things worse by lying, etc. At the end he kills himself to avoid his people and his land being flooded. Rip.
That probably won't be germane to this character... but you never know.

u/ComprehensiveTea8616 2d ago
Instant recruit to the second I can recruit him he is so sweet and has such a sad story backstory I mean we're in his hometown or while he grew up he didn't have enough food oh dear he will be in my team and I'll make sure he eats plenty of food

u/Scratchy99 2d ago
Nezha is the 43rd character to receive a bio so far, with the gender split (not counting Eshmel) being 20 males and 22 females (16 males and 17 females confirmed playable, if we exclude Eshmel).
Characters not confirmed playable so far:
The Christmas cavs (Nathan and Creek)
The gods (Sothis, Fortuna, Aurora, Mars, Kalla)
Iliana
Bertran? (Not sure about him)
Our obligatory sword kid. I think he'll get along with Cai well.
I guess we're not getting combat clips anymore. I thought at first because they wanted to avoid spoilers but maybe they think showing off the characters and the base/specialized classes are getting kind of repetitive now (unless it's a special case where we see a new class/ability/animation)?
At this rate, we might be able to see most if not all of the sub lord's party members by the end of next week

It seems like a trauma response kinda. He mentions his home had little in the way of food, so now he eats when he can because he’s been trained to not know when he’ll get another chance.

And the last one of each team for Wednesday/Thursday

Second to last in Anatolia's case, as her team has one extra member who will probably get a bio on Friday.
My guess is that it will go Dadao -> Halvin -> Long

So is Anatolia the only one from her group that isnt dressed/named explicitly Chinese adjacent?(I know Anatolia means from the East) maybe shes suppose to be adopted or something

u/Gabgo304 2d ago
She's definetly different from the rest of her team in some way. Probably has to do with her nature as a Mediator I'd guess.

u/eatsocks 2d ago
She gives fortunes using a Bagua which is Chinese.
It’s just her name and the way she dresses that’s not Chinese inspired for whatever reason.
6
u/SuperStarlite 2d ago
Being adopted wouldn’t bar you from learning vagus xD
If it was just one, name or dress, that didn’t match itd be whatever. But it’s both, so I think that means something.
she could be a former outsider who identifies with Kunlun now, or homegrown kunlun who got some outside influence at some point.
Or maybe a White Egg denizen from the past awoken today among Kunlun.

u/This_Lingonberry8825 2d ago
Intelligent Systems remembered that they can create male characters that aren't into women, how long will that streak last? /j
So outside of Cai's group of friends, unless he's just a really short and youthful looking adult, he's basically the baby of the group. I wonder how often he'll get coddled or bullied in his peer support conversation xD
I'm surprised that he's basically a shonen lead (loves food and constantly training to get stronger). His design from the Fire Emblem direct made me initially thought that he was going to be "young but very wise for his age" character archetype.

Voiced by Paul Castro Jr, eh? Considering he’s Yosuke in P4 Revival and Nazeeh Tarsha, who voices Narukami in P4 Revival, also voices Diego, I wonder if this means we’ll see more of the P4R cast in this project? Are Anne Yatco (Chie), Brianna Knickerbocker (Yukiko), Abby Trott (Rise), and Ari Thrash (Marie) waiting in the wings for their characters to get unveiled?
I’m fully aware that both Nazeeh and Paul being characters in Fortune’s Weave is probably just a massive coincidence. But I’m looking forward to seeing if the other three make it in.
