The thing about Renault's history was that he kicked ass and took names in it.

While being a dragon is pretty cool, it's nothing compared to Renault.

Of course, I agree with that totally (both statements). I was just using Renault as the best example of the definition of 'interesting' I was using.

I know, it's just that whenever Renault is mentioned I have to go berserk Renault fanboy. <_>

Ninian has a background, but it doesn't make her an interesting character. She's basically a poorly done Mary Sue. The only time I liked her was when she was dead. And I'm not talking about "I hate her! Die!" She actually served the story much better dead. Bringing her back was a dumb move in basically every way.

Priscilla's background may not be as impressive (though there is the House Cornwall stuff), but she has more personality. Her supports with raven are a bit whiney in the Ninian-pining-for-Eliwood way, but her other show more character.

The difference between Ninian and Priscilla is that Prissy is a quiet, kind person, and Ninian is a lapdog following Eliwood around, worshiping him (for little or no apparent reason).

I don't think anyone in this topic claimed Ninian was 'interesting' in the first place :Psyduck:

Aside from, you know, the fact that she then killed two dragons. I think it was quite a sensible thing to do D:

That did occur to me after my post, actually. House Cornwell was quite an interesting theme throughout the Raven/Lucius/Priscilla/(Oswin) supports.

Or they could have had only one Dragon come out of the gate, and leave Ninian dead. Or better yet, have Renault kill two of the Dragons instead of Ninian.

Inui: You say Ilia holds more weight, but I don't, since Shin >>> Pegs and Sacae is more fun due to enemies that aren't fail and not having to move through forests all day.

SACAE. It's more fun than Ilia.

Same goes for Prissy and her noble house.

NO ONE has shown me how one shows more personality than the other. They're still boring Mary Sues whose backgrounds are more interesting than the characters themselves. It seems it depends entirely on whether or not you like the unit more for x reason.

I like Ninian more as a unit, but that doesn't make her a memorable character. I don't want her dead just because I like giving one unit a free turn.

And Ninian is at a disadvantage because she has fewer supports, so Priss has plenty of room to outshine her. It seems her supports revolve a lot more around the OTHER character.

PRISCILLA:  But...
HEATH:  I remember when I was in the wyvern knights of Bern, my captain would say: "If you can feel the pain, you're not badly wounded."
PRISCILLA:  My!
HEATH:  Our captain was a true soldier, he was. He charged the enemy shooters to draw fire away from us... Even with an arrow through his shoulder, he kept charging.
PRISCILLA:  Ah... ...

Instead of Eliwood, she pines for Raven, which is like ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. :Psyduck:

That's a testament to her lack of personality...

Try stuff outside of their Eliwood/Raven supports.

Did. Neither is much... different from the other beyond background.

Unless you're expecting me to list ALL of them. :Psyduck:

How can you possibly think they're the same after reading all their conversations?

Prove to me how they aren't. :Psyduck: Quotes, maybe? So far I'm the only one who's been doing that.

Bleh, I was talking about the characters themselves rather than the game designers.
