Jan. 9th, 2012 09:33 pmI have progressed far enough in my second EO3 run to have unlocked Shoguns, and taken a break from plot-furthering to train up the newest addition to my guild and possibly my team (depending on whether Shoguns are actually as good as I'm hoping they are,) Felix. (I actually have a good reason for that name, too! It's a ... reference, sort of. Anyway,) I went with that unhappy-looking fellow on the far left, who looks like he's perpetually forcing himself to remain icy and aloof as a personal favor because it keeps him just slightly too restrained to murder everyone around him. (Oops, I guess it's too late to name him Jan-S, isn't it? Oh, well, Felix is still appropriate.)
The storyteller in me is trying so hard to interpret his coldness and the fact that I basically stopped the game to focus exclusively on him as a Poo-in-Earthbound-esque "meanwhile, here's an extended shot of this character being hardcore in preparation for his joining the party" sequence, complete with what I can only assume is sadistic and borderline abusive training meant to deliberately turn him into a cold-hearted killer, but ... I don't know. It's a little hard to see it as a Training From Hell montage when his entire regimen from levels 28 (where he started) to 72 has consisted solely of him attempting to run away from Scylla.
Anyway, going for a Shogun/Gladiator build with emphasis on Second Sword/Katana Mastery, 5-Ring Sword supported by Berserker Vow/Charge, TP Up, and I'm thinking maybe Bloody Lance if I have spare skill points. Definitely no Kaishaku, no matter how thematically appropriate it would be for him.
