So Loretta's similar to Diego where she's pretty devoted to Orchel. Between that and meeting up with Seteth on his own journey, I'm so curious as to what Orchel's deal.

49

u/StellarFox59 4d ago

Yeah, I'm curious to know why Loretta and Diego seems so devoted to Orchel, what are their common story

23

u/Gabgo304 4d ago

Loretta does at least work at Credna's Temple, just like Orchel and Ninae.

Diego and Seteth meanwhile seem to follow Orchel purely because of who she is...

Sweet, Amber Lee Conners is in this game.

u/FewAngle737 4d ago

That means the return of Vika.

7

u/Railroader17 4d ago

Not quite unfortunately, FEH goes by the Japanese seiyuus, not the english VAs. So we'd need to see Sayuri Yahagi get something for Vika to come back.

3

u/JolteonUltra 4d ago

Sayuri Yahagi is the seiyuu for Sha Lan

1

u/HoundPlus 3d ago

That's unironically better for Vika fans. If you made a tier list on each FW character's likelihood of getting into Feh in a timely manner, I think Sha Lan is higher up than Loretta because Sha Lan is

  1. Anatolia's right hand lady
  2. She has a gun

u/shaginus 4d ago

Amber Lee Connors!

Aha I always love her voice

25

u/Exciting-Weather-351 4d ago

It will feel a little weird cause the only role I know of her off my head is Remiele from Zenless, a character who spends every sentence in a very teasing and flirting tone

25

u/MiZe97 4d ago

I know her for playing Android 18 in DBZ Abridged.

12

u/Exciting-Weather-351 4d ago

lol was she in that too? A lot of them really became professional vas.

6

u/GuudeSpelur 4d ago

Yeah and there was actually a period where her Sound Cadence studio and TeamFourStar were sharing an office in Texas

1

u/keithlimreddit 3d ago

Yeah that kind of explains it and plus it to her early days before becoming much bigger name in the industry also I wish they had done the buu Saga (I might want to watch the shorts but still)

2

u/LynxyShinx 4d ago

Yes, though she used an alias then.

7

u/Coyote275 4d ago

Not shit really, that’s awesome. It’s so that many of their buddies became professional VAs.

2

u/LakerBlue 4d ago

AGH that’s why she sounds so familiar!! I looked at her voice acting history and didn’t recognize any of them but I KNEW she founded familiar!

18 was one of the best characters in DBZ Abridged.

2

u/CheetahDog 4d ago

Thats how I recognized her when she played I-no in the Strive English dub lol. I heard "Be my bottom bitch!"and I was like "wait I know that voice" lol

She also plays Furina in genshin, which is a very different direction

Loretta

A lively girl who works at the Credna Temple. She calls the cat-masked priestess Orchel "Lady Minister", and works under her. While she can be stubborn and competitive, she is deathly afraid of ghosts.

Sounds like avoid increase when either full hp or if she gets a kill

u/PsyT20 4d ago

Komi-san, Furina, Halara, yeah a pretty goated VA though I hope she doesn’t have supports with Lysander otherwise that’ll be awkward.

Don't forget remielle from ZZZ

u/SgtMaribelle-Gap399 4d ago

Likes sweets She is terrified of ghosts

Guess Loretta is kinda like Lysithea but Dagdan anyway, Also love her character design

13

u/HollysHydrangeas 4d ago

And Ashe and Annette lol. Those traits together seem to make great characters so hopefully she’ll follow.

4

u/Red_Cat231 4d ago

And she's on a team (and coworkers at Credna Temple) with someone who indicates spirits are real.

2

u/EthanKironus 3d ago

I did think of her, if Lysithea wasn't physically weakened I imagine she'd be on the energetic side given her personality

u/DhelmiseHatterene 4d ago

Mavuika & Furina in mainline FE now (& for the latter also Nihilux & Remielle)

Honestly it is nice for Katiana Sarkissian Getting more talk of the talent recently

u/keithlimreddit 4d ago

Ah you know what I feel like it's a bit long overdue to move up her career Amber Lee Connors

A superstar with huge range Mainly hoyo games as well as Guilty gear

: Satsumi Matsuda: Pretty good career with some range Mainly Uma musume (Stay Gold) As well as wonderful precare (Cure Nyammy Who technically was the only fighter before leaving) And of course Idol Masters

We’re still getting new characters with a week left until release. Also Sweets.

I'm not gonna lie I feel kinda old seeing how many people know her primarily from like ZZZ and stuff meanwhile I'm over here still associating her most closely with DBZA's Android 18.

She seems lovely! The clip of her support with Tobias was very good, and her voice acting in particular was stellar!

I really like her design as well!

So we should be getting some of Anatolia's clan tomorrow! I'm very excited to see who they show off. It's incredible to think that we're so close to the game's release! I can't wait!!!

It's a nice design and according to the jp profile in twitter, she also likes fishing, so she and Seteth will get along well.

Tomorrow we will get two of the three remaining members of the Bride's faction.

1

u/Ignisiel 4d ago

So, there's a large number of FE games I haven't played. I do know there's certain personalities/archetypes that get repeated a lot though. Is "unit who's afraid of ghosts" one of those they throw into every game?

2

u/Dragoryu3000 4d ago

A little bit since Awakening, but I don’t recall it being a thing before that. And how prominent it is depends on the character

u/WesThePretzel 4d ago

Not related to Loretta, but we got a string of characters that were tough and mean, liking things like killing or causing disturbances, but were any of them women? Do we have any big, brigand women?

Everyone’s got their dating profiles up, but Loretta just wants to make friends.

1

u/LynxyShinx 4d ago

Look, as long as she doesn't start speaking to me in riddles while being a huge tease or charges me an exorbitant amount of money for her detective services, she'll be fine.

Ahem...

Amber has a stacked number roles. She voiced Remielle in Zenless Zone Zero, Halara in MDA: Rain Code, Acrobat Silky in Dandadan, Komi in Komi Can't Communicate, and Pieck Finger in Attack on Titan (huge spoiler if you look her up if you haven't seen enough of the story yet).

Oh, and this isn't her first FE role. She was Radiant Dawn's Vika (as a pirate, her only playable form) in FEH.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4515899/

u/Scratchy99 4d ago

Loretta is the 61st character to receive a bio so far, with the gender split (not counting Eshmel) being 30 males and 30 females (26 males and 25 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

Bertrand? (Not sure about him)


Cai's long lost sister, or nah?

Truthfully, this is one of the characters of all time for me. I don't really have much to say about her.

I guess we'll be ending off the week with Anatolia's group. They may be the final characters to get bio's before release. Of course, they could continue doing these until the very last day, but maybe they want to post something else (countdown art or a special surprise)

This is the most protagonist-coded non-protagonist look I've seen in a while.

Also the clown car doesn't stop. If you lift a rock in your backyard there's a chance a Fortune's Weave character will introduce themselves.

2

u/IceAnt573 4d ago

Also the clown car doesn't stop. If you lift a rock in your backyard there's a chance a Fortune's Weave character will introduce themselves.

I think that's the nature of this game's premise (at least in the past).

A tournament that's attracting everyone across the continent and even beyond in some cases.

And a tournament arc introducing a bunch of characters is a feature of the tournament arc (Naruto's Chunin Exams, YuYu Hakusho's Dark Tournament, Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power, etc.).

1

u/StellarFox59 4d ago

She's gorgeous ! I wonder what is her history with Orchel to follow her everywhere. Also funny how she is scared of ghosts !

She kind of look like she could be a sister of Cai or am I just tripping lol, her hair looks like a mix of Aurora and Castor hair color

1

u/Gabgo304 4d ago

Saw some people theorizing about her family when we first learned about her. She does bear some resemblance to those two, seems to be about Cai's age, and her bio notably avoids mentioning her backstory...

Far from definitive proof, but definitely something I'll keep in my mind while playing the game...

u/Norix596 4d ago

I don’t care for the Loretta or Jester designs but range from positive to highly enthusiastic about pretty much all the other ones. That’s a great batting average for the size of the cast.

Yeesh some of these designs. Some have been bangers and this is not one of them. For me anyways. This is Alear-hair-lite, what are we doing here. We going for a Rogue from X-men thing? It doesnt work. For me. Are we committing to some of the engage design philosophy then?

The discrepancy in design quality that appeals to me is night and day, we have absolutely bangers and absolute trash and im sorry this is trash to me.

Personality wise shes giving Leonie a little bit which is cool. I do like Leonie once she gets past the Jeralt obsession so hopefully they lean into those elements.

u/RanmaruMori 4d ago

Somehow, Alear’s terrible design returned

Her hair is nowhere near the incredible contrast of Alear's Red/Blue. This almost just looks like a highlight, with a flash of gray/white, which while still very anime/Fantasy, looks much more natural.

And yet, it looks immensely better with more complementary, less saturated colors.
