Wasn't Serena a char in Sacred Stones? I mean they're going to be running into name issues anyway when there's a metric ton of characters, but it seems like they're going out of their way in reusing old ones.
edit. Oh it was Selena.

what?
Ya, I remembered that after I posted. The reason I was thinking of Selena is the moon reference in her name just like Luna.

this sounds confusing
more (bad) names:
Zero:
Niles
Mozu
Beruka
Troubadour.
Missed one: Revenant Knight:
Malig Knight
lol wut, I can understand Rod Knight to Troubadour for consistency sake but... seriously that Zero name change...

I've had no problems with any of the name changes so far but I dislike all of these.
It's not Malignant Knight???? If it's just Malig that's dumb...

maybe they ran out of character spaces wwwwwww
It's probably supposed to be that but ran out of space. But yeah it's definitely Malig in that video.
Is Zero snarky? And that knight one looks like a misspelling.

Yeah, those name changes suck. What was wrong with Zero?

Odin and Nyx's names stay the same
Well then, I do really like Odin and Nyx, but I wonder how Odin's special ability works with the localization changes will it be just be
8 numerical/alphabetical characters?

besides being able to have male Troubadours now

derp nice character limit
...I'm guessing the character limit is like 13-15 characters? Shrine Maiden and Nohr Princess are both 13 after all
edit: oh also bronze->brass change only applies to Hoshido weapons (whatever), kunais are now daggers (makes sense)

"In medieval times, troubadours were poet-musicians who recited ancient tales. However, the term 'troubadour' refers to a male, while female poet-musicians were called trobairitz."

that's why japanese name is superior.. like if > fates :^)
Serena's pretty good, the others I can deal with as well, for the most part. Though Malig Knight is a deplorably clumsy pun, and Niles is just...why. I don't think any of the FE14 characters who've had their names changed from Kirby bosses have been anything close to improvements.

I dunno how you guys saw Serena, it's clearly Selena in the IGN footage.
You're right ... Chrom you liar!
Doesn't the 3DS have a screenshot function
Noooooo, and I'm not using a Japanese 3DS ;-;

Dammit I really want Cipher artbooks
not as thick as i expected

I wonder how they're going to handle the two fers (like Marth/Lucina in set 1), well obviously's they're be right next to each other ... so I guess it wouldn't be that bad. As much as I want the art books, I want the player boxes instead.
My eyesight must be getting worse! I was really convinced it said Serena on-screen, and the idea of Treehouse being cheeky enough to actually give her that name must've served as a placebo in my thinking.
But yes, it is indeed Selena after all.
Laaaaaaaaaaaame!

Zero -> Niles...Nihilism? Not the worst change. Too many Zeros. It's not a real name anyway!
Mozume -> Mozu...I, uh, guess people won't call her mo-zu-mii now? Eh...Yeah, screw this.
Luna -> Selena's cool in my books.
Belka -> Beruka's alright. At least I'm not thinking of Bell-kun anymore.
Revenant Knight -> Malig Knight...Not the worst change. Conveys the role better than Revenant Knight which, fucking cool as it may be to say, can be -very- easily misunderstood as the knights being undead. Then again, now the knight could be thought to have a malignant disease themselves and----Damnit, it's progress, okay!? Think adding a hyphen to make it "Malig-Knight" would make it look a little better personally.
Not sure Kamui'd do well with any of the Ninja skills. Puppeteer's Copycat, while great, requires dropping Yato which you probably wouldn't want to do. Elite Ninja's Lethality would be great if it ever activated on an enemy that's not already dead. Still, a physical 1-2 ranged option is very nice and it gets better if you can stick with the class until you get Kunaifaire (Daggerfaire?) and get off using Bronze weapons.
Now, if Joker were to get those skills...
Oh, and congratulations on beating Ch. 10!
Mozume -> Mozu...I, uh, guess people won't call her mo-zu-mii now? Eh...Yeah, screw this.

The shortened one might have something to do with certain equipment that uses the characters' names, or character (typeface) limitations
Things like "Subaki" might be there to avoid mispronunciation, which is pointless.
Other than that this entire name change thing is overall excessive
Harold-Arthur, I mean, why.
Why change Belka to Beruka that sounds like a poorly localized Engrish name?
Personally I view a lot of the modified Hoshido names a bit dumb
Edit: I mean, awakening had massive name changes too, but when you have names like Reflect, Inverse and Sort I expect some changes
and if Mozume is Mozu then why Sakura isn't Saku
tbh I had no idea what I was doing when I choose this crap, I didn't look at any information about the game beforehand XD

Yeah, would make the first 16 or so chapters a lot easier, I guess. lol Though if you have access to Dark Flier, you should have access to Dread Fighter as well. Lose 2 Movement to keep Yato and gain Kunai while staying in a more phys-oriented class which Kamui'd be more suited for given their base growths.
You can have Elise as a Dark Flier shuttle you across the map if she didn't already set it on fire with a 1Mt tome.
Well, I guess you lucked your way into a decent sub-class then. lol As I said, 1-2 phys ranged options are nice -- especially since your Kamui's Str-focused -- and Elite Ninjas get to use swords, meaning you won't lose Yato.

Got my dvd preordered last night, although I wish I could go to comiket this year and get one early, but Im busy that week. Really wanna see if they include the footage they took outside the concert. I know one of the cameramen passed by me a few times while I was waiting.
Also I wonder why no bluray version of the concert? Either way though I can't wait to experience the concert again, was such a fantastic experience online. Looking so forward to it.
