Finally, official FE8 art!

[aviatrix]

Eeee, official FE8 artwork for all the characters! Aw, Franz is so cute... And yay, Forde! And Cougar! Etc... (This is also a heads up for those of you looking for FE8 icon material for RPing. ;)

Ooo, I love Lute's outfit, I may have to try sketching it at some point (even though my skills are rusty). And now that I think of it, a lot of the girls' outfits are lovely, it's a shame you don't see much of their dresses in the game...

*sees the romanization for Ashley's name and chokes*

Man, that is an... Unfortunate choice of translation. (Bloken Engrish strikes again. XD)

EEEE! I was afraid it was an april fool's joke but it's for real! <3

Have you seen what they did to Ashley's name?

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

YES XD

Damn, now I really regret filling all my iconspaces! Well, at least now I can make proper Seima icons.

You know, I'm reminded of how we made fun of the localization of FE8 way back when (Rachael/L'arachel, Hineas/Innes, Cougar/Cormag, etc.) I'm just amused that the Japanese can also make questionable translation choices, as well. XD)

[sarajayechan.livejournal.com]

Yes. XD It's weird, I always sword I'd call him Cougar but now I'm so used to Cormag.

And the Japanese can also spell things poorly. Jhosua? @_@

[aviatrix8.livejournal.com]

I'm actually still used to the Japanese names, oddly enough...

Aw, a Franz icon already? <3

Ohh, Neimi's outfit is indeed cute~

...Poor Artur. XD.

FINALLY, NINTENDO, FINALLY. ♥ I can't even count how long I've been waiting for this. XDD

*looks at the romanisations - specifically, Tana's, Jist/Gerik's and Ashley/Artur's*

... ಠ_ಠ

[aviatrix8.livejournal.com]

I know! Aren't they weird? O_o (Like I mentioned above, they're ironically comparable to NoA's localization/name changes... XD)

[bardiche.livejournal.com]

They ARE. XDDD I never thought I'd be embracing NoA's names over Japanese romanizations, but here I am two years later... XD
