And that's why I'll be employing the same thing we did in the last character job: for this job, you can once again submit up to two characters! Shin Megami Tensei (including other non-Persona Megaten subseries) So here's the list of series that are eligible for this job: Most of what applied to the last round of this applies here, but it's worth noting that this time, Yakuza won't be eligible either, as we've already added Ichiban. Now then, there are plenty of characters from these series who are assists, and as such aren't eligible for this job. Tot (i guess?)īayonetta: Enzo (the saddest disconfirmation) Some of these were definitely more major candidates than others, but it's worth listing them all just in case:įantasy Zone: U.S.B.M.G.S. SMT: Jack Frost and the concept of the Jack Bros. Skies of Arcadia, as we all know, is one of Dreamcast's most known cult classics and a RPG game released in 2000, which focuses on Vyse and his friends as the gang of sky pirates called the Blue Rogues, who attempt to stop the Valuan Empire from reviving ancient weapons with the potential to destroy the world. In fact, we're talking about Vyse's cheerful and spunky close friend, Aika, who is the game's deuteragonist and was orphaned at an early age when her parents were killed, having been saved and taken care for as a foster daughter by Vyse's father, Dyne.

While Aika has a bit of a fiery temper, an obsession for obtaining treasure, the inability to swim and a fear of ghosts, she has a strong and energetic personality, and is deeply loyal to those around her, absolutely trusting in Vyse and thinks highly of him after he had rescued her twice during childhood.Ĭonsidering that Vyse and Fina appear in Battle of AGES as a playable character and an assist respectively, I don't see why we wouldn't include a third member of the protagonist trio. All three also appeared together in the Valkyria Chronicles series via the first installment (Vyse and Aika's debut), 2011's Japan-only exclusive Valkyria Chronicles 3 (for Fina) and the anime series.įor her playstyle and moveset possibilities, Aika is quite nimble, able to move quickly despite her light weight and mainly wields the over-sized boomerang as her main weapon by swinging and throwing them at enemies ( a reminder that she was created a decade and years before Sticks the Badger), which kind of weapon moveset archetype was not done before in Smash-like games (those special moves like Link's were only secondary weapons).
