I -MIGHT- get this game, just to play as Zenia. Never really been interested in Arcana Heart because it's so... well it feels like it's trying to ride on these incredibly exaggerated character archetypes and ecchi and etc... Basically animu girl stuff. Zenia looks cool and fun to play as though.
@meirus This isn't the only game that uses exaggerated character archetypes. AH's sister series (BlazBlue) is equally guilty of this as well. Just take a look at all the female characters there and you'll see the trend. Most fighting games lately have these archetypes in some way/shape/form so it more or less comes with the territory at this point which is why it doesn't bother me. The gameplay is what I love most.
@hfblade I don't deny that, but in the case of this, I just have something against it. Then again, all girl casts are something I also dislike. If I wasn't understood in that first comment, the all girl cast bit might let you see what I mean a bit better.
@meirus Ok I understand, but in all honesty I don't think it should really bother you. If you're a competitive fighting gamer, the cast shouldn't be grounds for concern. If it's balanced, fast paced, and fun to play, then I'm set. Which is why I have such a strong distaste for BlazBlue (even though I love Guilty Gear to death).
Oh, and Zenia IS awesome. I played her back in AH2 and I'm looking forward to using her among several other characters.
