I kind of wonder if the apparent man-ish appearance is connected to the her name meaning courageous woman in Hindu.
For some reason, I was thinking of Iroh x Kuvira heh. Kovira could be nice maybe.
Or maybe Kurasami!

Sorry Chariot but I have to go on a rant now.
First off, why would Legend of Korra fans be upset that a Legend of Korra game has Legend of Korra style graphics?
Well anyway, i'm not for sure you were suggesting the following, but I come across TOO many people who think just because something is cartoony and cell shaded means that graphical fidelity is irrelevant. It blows my mind. I'll go on video for this game (and it hasn't only happened with this game) and someone will say "The graphics are bad" Then a ton of people will be responding with crap like "WELL, Legend of Korra is cartoony and it's obviously taking on that style! If you want something hyperrealistic than go play COD!!!1!" And it will get so many likes and i'm just like r u jk. I see this on forums too, although much less so. Cartoony/Cell shaded artstyles doesn't make graphical fidelity irrelevant. I mean just look at the game and compare it to the show and you can see that it looks wayyy worse, but yet it's the same artstyle.
Like, the show has way better graphics than the game, but that doesn't mean that the show's graphics are "hyperrealistic, COD, gritty WW2" style. I hear this same stuff with the Ratchet and Clank games with people saying stuff like "well how can the graphics get better without looking too much like COD" and it has me like
Let it all out, man.

Kuvira looks sofisticated as hell.

Turns out love conquers all even Kuvira the Konqueror.

I was just browsing the funny pics thread, and then it's there.
Sad thing is, that was kind of mild compare to a couple other I saw before I closed the page lol.
haha curse you curiosity.
Still pretty tame compared to some of the stuff i've seen.

I'm glad I am not alone in my little excitement over the game. I'll wait for reviews because the name Platinum for me doesn't really do it.
You're glad people aren't excited for the game? I always knew you were diabolical, just look at that avatar.

Well if you don't like Platinum's games in general then reviews would probably be irrelevant for you considering the Platinum games that didn't do it for you were probably reviewed well.
I've never played any of their games before, but I always hear good things about them so I was very excited when they picked it up instead of some random no name company.

Same here. Have they commented on thr length?
Supposedly around four to six hours to complete it is what i've read.
I feel the same. But it will feed my need for more Korra. Plus, it's Platinum Games and it's $15. I will happily take it.

She looks a lot like Loki
I'll die if the man doesn't update his soundcloud.
So basically around 4 hours main story and another 2 for Pro-Bending Tournament which becomes available after you complete the single player I'm assuming.
Don't forget achievements!
Who would have the baby?

well can't ask too much from a 15-dollar-game.I wish to see a full length game in the future.

I wish they did in this show, would benefit the characters a lot if they did those episodes well. Now it is a bit too late to start doing them. And they again need to fit an arc into one season.

Did Satch rescind the "no hentai" policy in the OP?

Suki's face here is giving me nightmares.
Yeah, gameplay is essential. It's confirmed that the story is canon, by the way?

Yup.
Yeah, it'll probably be short, but I'll be needing more Korra to go with this last season.
Really OT but I just realised something. Maybe this was obvious to everyone else... but you know that episode The Headband about Aang throwing a dance party for Fire Nation kids who were forbidden from dancing?
Opposite of Head = Foot.
Opposite of Band/Bound = Loose.
Headband = Footloose.

WELL, not that my opinion matters...
But I'm of two minds with the game. For me, I keep in mind that I. It's a digital title (so it doesn't have the full production money/time as a major title). II. It's Platinum (and I love their combat/gameplay).
The art style itself is fine, it looks decent enough to the shows style. But I also kind of think it looks strange. I can't put my finger on it, but it looks kind of cheap when in motion. But again, keeping in mind it's a downloadable title...
Really, if the gameplay is smooth and responsive, then I can put up with any flaws given the price of the game. That's how I look at it. But I'm not putting too much on the game either. I've already went into it, believing the game will just be a burst of awesomeness (and not being anywhere close to a full production game).

SPOILER TALK:
Edit: nevermind, I figured it out. Was wondering about this scene: http://youtu.be/NCEFMY4TWGw?t=55s But it looks like they just edit the trailer weird. They have Korra throw water up, but the camera pans to Bolin and electricity comes down on him and explodes. I think the Bolin scene is different, and it was the mech that shot electricity at him, and then came down to attack him. The editing makes it look like Korra threw the electricity, not sure why.

Uhhh, yeah I was about to say before you edited lol. Tripped me out first time seeing it though.SPOILER TALK:
I've been re-watching the trailer. There is a scene where Korra is in the swamp (55 seconds in). She throws water at someone and it turns into electricity and then explodes. The person jumps out of the way. That person..is Bolin in his metal clan military uniform. WTF. Why is she trying to hurt Bolin? A mech does drop down after Bolin rolls out of the way. I re-watched over and over, and the Mech is not what she hits first. The mech drops down after she throws the water where Bolin is standing.
EDIT: It might be just editing. When the camera pans to Bolin it looks like it's just lightning. Kind of a weird edit, to make it look Korra is arcing her water in the same shot though. Hmmm Yeah I think it's the mech attacking Bolin actually, and it shoots electricity at him before coming down. TRICKY trailer editing. This is why you can't take anything in it 100%
I wonder why the edit though. It's such a quick moment, that it's not like it sells people on something that isn't happening. I only noticed it because I was combing through things. What I mean is, it doesn't even make sense on a deception level (sometimes trailers like to deceive). I mean, it's clearly an edit on purpose (as they have her water arch in the exact same way the electricity comes down). I guess it does flow (in an action sense), probably why they did it.
Well, that's pretty much it. I didn't see much else in the trailer on re-watches.
I'm honestly wondering what people are expecting from the game. I think outside of DMC 3 Platinum has made the best action games ever. With all that said, this is a budget game for 15$ and like I said before it looks competent.
We will probably never get a game Avatar game that looks anywhere near as good as the Naruto games or even some of the older DBZ games. Because a lot of time the company working on those are big fans of the series.
