| the_dengle said: That's a good catch. I haven't really see Kiria's personality come out yet, she just seems like an idol so far, doesn't seem malicious at all. I guess there's no hard rule saying the characters have to be similar to their mirages. So far the two characters we know the most about are pretty standard hero types because they're the main characters and their mirages are pretty standard hero types because they were main characters in their own games. Tharja has a specific personality but I guess there's no reason Kiria would have to share it. |
Another thing to think about is Kiria's song Reincarnation, which was played in the first real trailer for the game (and later during the E3 Treehouse, which showed her performing it in Shibuya). The translated lyrics went like this:
I want to destroy
Will you be able to heal me from loneliness, from pain
And all things I had cherished
(Reincarnation, Realization, Reincarnation)
I want to disappear
Sounds of a city that never sleeps, the melancholy of these fake smiles
These real motive hiding, someday, somewhere as we had never seen them
Even if nobody speak about things as insecurity, we know about it
I want to destroy
These courageous acts I had cherished
But then, I won’t be able to be honest
Even if I’m lost or in trouble, if you ever ask me,
At least, I’ll destroy this pain and this loneliness
(Reincarnation, Realization, Reincarnation)
I want to reincarnate
But yeah, I think they'll be similar but obviously not duplicates (which is fine, as I don't think any of the characters will end up like that). Eleonora and Virion will perhaps be the most entertaining couple to see merge, as their appearances are quite different (though their personalities seem similar as well).
Looking forward to seeing the form Tharja herself takes in the game though. I'm imagining a much more dark and dramatic rendition, much like Chrom.
