The truth however is actually because Noel is Amaterasu that possessed Mu. She was then rescued at the burning fields of Ikaruga and adopted by the Vermillion family, specifically by Edgar and Claire Vermillion (according to the BlazBlue: Material Collection). Story matters, this isnt ''girls should go home, let the big boys play''.Noel was born on December 25, 2194, created by Sector Seven as "dimensional boundary contact medium No. Celica gives Ragna a purpose beyond ''slaying the beast''.īlazBlue isnt your typical fighting game. Think of them as characters, people.īut if you really must have a theme above all else:Ĭelica connects Ragna to the Six Heroes. I think it might help not to think in themes. I just cant see how they can say ''they have no place in the story'' I can see how people can dislike Celica or Noel. He's not the most predictable, but he's hardly that mysterious either. Cant say I see how he is ''versatile'' tho. That's not the same as Hakumen who is literally that worlds defination of justice.īlazblue isnt about themes tho, but the actual story, and the actual characters.Īltho it's definately true that some characters like Makoto or Carl, or Azrael are only there to fit a ''theme'' that's not the case for the majority of the cast.īecause disliking a character doesnt automatically make them badly designed.
She as a character simply believes she does. (and other than that Noel only has some emo "I dont belong to this world uwaaagh" bs).I dont think its fair if you mention characters importance in the story, then discount others because you dislike them. One could counter it by saying Celicas purpose in the story is unique and not shared by anyone else (other then Tao anyway, and that's assuming they even play -that- card in Central Fiction) In your example most of the characters are unneeded because there are multiple others with the same purpose. Hakumen covers the theme of justice MUCH better than Tsubaki\Izayoi does(in fact, Tsubaki barely scratches the surface of said theme), Celica's only real theme is her family(basically Nine) and relationship with the main trio, that's really not enough to be somewhat interesting. Makoto covers the theme of friendship better than Noel does(and other than that Noel only has some emo "I dont belong to this world uwaaagh" bs). Their "tasks" and the themes that they cover are dull and simple. But after all it's pretty easy to realize that they're mostly used as plot device and fanservice sources. Surely, the story ties them up for whatever reason, trying to bring some kind of motivation on them too.
Hazama(Terumi doesn't have any real depth so far) is the most versatile character in the story, not sure why anyone would ever hate him.Īnd then we have the characters that are there just for being cute, like Noel, Tsubaki and Celica. Characters like Tager, Kagura, Valkenhayn and Bang cover the theme of loyalty to their masters\people, characters like Jin and Hakumen are attractive because they are acting as sort of outsiders who try to go by their own way. In order to be a well-made good\bad character, the character must have some "purpose". That said, she uses a puppet and I dislike those, so I dont use her much myself. From what I've seen those that hate Celica the most like those kind characters the most. Then again I dislike everything about characters like Azrael, Terumi (more like Hazama you mean) and Relius. Celica is easily my favorite character of the franchise. That's interesting, I felt the exact opposite. I don't play her and I don't see her a lot online. Basically, she's a forced plot device that ruins Terumi in CP and Nine in CF. Terrible, generic schoolgirl design, annoying personality. Originally posted by AWOO:Design-wise, she is very bad character.
