Thane Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hello everyone. Here's a look at new Cipher cards of Alm and Celica. What might be more interesting at the present, however, is the fact that we can see their respective starting casts in the background. If I were to guess, we can see Kliff, Tobin, Gray and the new villager Effy on Alm's card, and Boyd, Mae and Jenny on Celica's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiToastExplosion Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Welp, if anyone gets the complete edition but doesn't care about the cards, hit me up. I'll pay handsomely for them. Gaiden art continues to impress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) It looks beautiful ;_____; Like I haven't been collecting Cipher cards since I don't like card games, but I want these. Calling it now, Kliff and Effy are siblings. Edited February 20, 2017 by Azz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedDrake Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 So...what is the Valentian characters' signature color supposed to be? Red just like it is for the Archanean characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Nice. Like the look of all the villagers. Is it just me, or is May quite well-endowed? Though considering Celica isn't lacking in the card art either, that's probably just artist's interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought so too, but a part of me wants to believe it's armor, because her chest looks really odd. That being said, it does seem to be a recurring theme in Cipher artwork to give everyone a boob job anyway, so who knows. Also, yes, Kliff seems to be the one with gray hair for some reason, so I got his name mixed up with Gray's..

Can't wait to see his official art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a screenshot of Alm using an Iron Sword-- which didn't exist in the original Gaiden. I'm thinking that it's not going to be quite as faithful as a lot of people are thinking and that they've mostly just shown what hasn't changed. Not that it will be significantly different, but we've seen a fair few tweaks and additions already (the food option; a calendar on the overworld that may act as a time limit; new characters).

King Marth 64 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) I really like the redesign of Kliff, Gray, Mae, and Genny. But, I do like the design of this look of that new village girl in the artwork (I can tell she's on the far right next to Kliff since she looks like she has the skirt in Alm's card) since we did seen her map sprite from the Direct and also, I definitely see Kliff looks like he has the similar tie to Frederick from Awakening and Gray has a headband in his head since those weren't in the original also.

Hardin Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Mae has to be least modified of any of the characters. That said they look good, great work from Aoji as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinguyFrank Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Cipher cards have showed more characters than the official website for the game, please advance faster with presentation and advertising! i pray everyday like Celica for the minimum backlash!

Hardin Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 It made sense to add the WT to Shadow Dragon because there were existing axe users who could use the boost. Gaiden only had axes being used by enemy units, so it doesn't really make sense to add it. It's also important to remember, that with Shadow Dragon the only new character we saw was Frey for the most part. None of the other newcomers appeared until Norne was briefly shown in a video showing off multiplayer a few weeks before release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
