In the manual of the game it mentions that Penelo had brothers in the Order. Is this ever mentioned in the game? Also, I heard that apparently Matsuno originally planned to have Penelo's brothers in the Resistance, so is this true? Just asking.

just something else that was undone by Matsuno's departure.:mad:
Ashe has dead brothers doesn't she?
I dunno, but I don't think so. I got like 80% of the story done and I hadn't heard that mentioned from what I played.Quote:

I'm sure heard somewhere that Ashe had like 6 brothers or something and they all died in the same war as Rassler. no clue where i got that impression tho, maybe complete bs
It would have given her a reason to care about the resistance and Ashe's journey. Hell, they don't even need to be alive. Just have their being-in-the-order-ness and subsequent deaths have an effect on Penelo's personality. Losing half a dozen siblings has to effect you in some way.Quote:

I addressed this slightly in the Penelo baby topic. I recall reading some information before the game was released about Penelo learning how to defend herself by combining her brother's fighting techniques with her dancing techniques.
Why would you leave something like this out of the game? It could have been one line of dialogue, seriously. I just don't understand why they left the characters so stripped bare.
Supposedly Matsuno threw a hissy fit and quit half-way through production, meaning the story was only half finished. Hence we have the situation now.Quote:

Hmm Ashe and Vaan? they started off quite close and I think they definately did have a friendship, it just wasn't made glaringly obvious. It would have compromised Ashe's character to make her too buddy buddy with any of them but she did seem to have a link to all three main males, Vaan and Basch especially.
