I mean more like distinct fighting styles between the personalities

they could even interact with each other in skits!

I'd like to see a PC that uses a gun as a main weapon, like Max from Eternia, although that was more a cannon. No blade guns like hubert or a sword/gun style like Alvin, just pure guns. Like the chars from Innocence, or Regret.

I would be wholly in support of that

There was at one point a theory that Emil was entirely imaginary.

@silver: Fog's spell cannon was pretty cool but I'm not in favour of actual guns.

Like in Killer7?

Anyway, I'd like a Dancer-type character (sword-dancing style with or capoeira) and Mar-italian guy.

I want more races. Yes I understand that half the eternia characters are essentially black but that's not really enough. Forest from tempest is as close as a black guy as we'er ever gunna get I'm afraid. Are there any more I'm not thinking of? Wait is Eugene considered black? He is a kitty though.

Who has latino type descent in these games? Yes I understand that latinos don't technically exist in games but what they appear to represent.

Hermana could fit into that. Her name means "sister" in spanish and her skin is a bit dark

I really don't think it's a great idea to start representing real races and the like in games. Literally the only difference between having a fictional race and a representation of a real race is by using cultural references, stereotypes and portraying famous events. It has tons of area to go horribly wrong and you really just might as well make something up, even if it uses a combination of "real" attributes we already know.

I don't think we need to represent 'real' races, but just having a wider variety of ethnic groups/complexions would be cool.

Oh hmmm, maybe... strange how I never noticed. I love Hermana!

Btw for clarification I don't think there should be stereotypes just more varied. I understand it's a japanese game but come on the characters are 90% white, or japanese, depending on your interpretation of each game's art style.

Generic anime art style? It's kinda a race in itself Laughing

But it's true it be nice to see more variety.
