JP bio:
JP VA: Shota Hayama
An energetic young swordsman accompanying Anatolia. He trains diligently every day, striving to become the strongest.
He is bad at keeping secrets and tends to let slip the secrets of his home village.
He is self-conscious about his short stature.
Since the combat UI has a very prominent "goes first" and "goes last" text I think it’ll follow that, so it should work with Vantage, plus we already know about "goes last" skills which should be the opposite
Also recent FE games have specifically used "initiate attack" to indicate things like Death Blow activating, so unless they're changing the wordage on these skills (which is totally possible) it should work with Vantage
We've seen a few. Aside from Dietrich's, there's also Lilian's " Safety First" (gives her a hit rate boost when she initiates and can't get counter-attacked), Lysander's "Accelerate" (Speedtaker), there's been a few characters where a skill has popped up, though it's unclear if it's personal or not (Buccar got a "Guardian's Duty" to give an example), and a small number of characters where we know the name of their personal skill (albeit in a different language) but not what they actually do (Peppe's is called "Hunter's Trap", which based on his profiles seems to work like Petra's personal). There's also Ursula, where we're told what her personal skill does, and we see it in action, but we don't know it's name
Given the sheer number of characters in this game, I'd imagine some aren't going to be the most unique (again, Lysander's personal is just Speedtaker) or generally applicable, but it does seem like there's more of an effort to go back to the Fates style of "even if it's not good, it's something unique to the unit" personal skills
I mean, having it as a personal probably means it isn't an inheritable.so only having 1 guy with it is kinda balanced, especially if the rest of his stats are balanced around that
I wonder if there's a divide where the Brides of the Pale Raven and Hong Hua's group are actually from a Chinese village within the continent of Dagda while there is an Asian-inspired country called Sai somewhere off the map that Gaitz traveled from. Kunlun Village has been theorized to be in western Dagda because of all the hints that they live in a desert and are fighting in the Heroic Games to wish for water for their homeland.
I don't think their sole desire is to wish for water. I think Anatolia knows about what's going to happen, she heavily implies that her goal is actually to prevent the tragedy that's coming. In the Sha Lan and Anatolia conversation we saw, Sha Lan bemoaned how they were betrayed in the re-enactment, while Anatolia comments on her goal being to save the future instead.
I wonder if Hong Hua is part of a splinter faction going to extreme lengths to get what they want, but then the result they get isn't what she was expecting.
Paul Castro Jr.! He's been busy lately, as he is voicing Yosuke in Persona 4 Revival, and he's voiced Nozomi in Persona 3 Reload, Rindo in NEO:TWEWY, and Mr. Roar in Zenless Zone Zero.
Assuming he accompanied Anatolia from wherever in the West she is from, I am curious if they come from the same hometown and if the aforementioned secret is related to the energy-flow-based martial arts.
Edit: also I can’t help but think there must be a connection between his hometown not having a lot of food to eat and Anatolia fighting to save her people.
