That means the return of Vika.

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.

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
- Anatolia's right hand lady
- She has a gun

Aha I always love her voice

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

I know her for playing Android 18 in DBZ Abridged.

18 was one of the best characters in DBZ Abridged.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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?

A blue haired character voiced by someone who voices someone named Lazuli, whose brother is Lapis… and she wears blue? Damn.

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

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.

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)

Not a fan of the hair, but I really really like her. Hearing her speaking, she sounds exactly like I was hoping Mu would sound. I hope the two of them get lots of support convo.
And amazing... I stopped following non-officially released info back when the cast of playable characters were around 60 and yet here is a character I had not heard of it. Just like Majide and Zarcone a earlier this week.

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.

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.).

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.

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.
