Fortune's Weave Character Teaser: Troy
The Brides of the Pale Raven aren’t the only ones who’re packing.
Last night, we were formally introduced to Troy, another member of Eshmel’s crew, the “Saviors Army”. She’s actually from Saramis, and knew Theodora, who called her “granny” or “hag” depending on the translator. Someone who’s known multiple of Saramis’s kings. Yet interestingly, she plays a major part in Eshmel's story, not Theodora's. I wouldn’t be surprised if she made some cameo appearances in Theodora’s route a couple times, and played a role in her story after joining Eshmel’s army.
In her cutscene clip, Troy and Hong Hua seem to be part of the same organization, Joka. Troy is said to be second only to Xenon in status. Also, it looks like Eshmel is genetically a clone of Troy, since she says the avatar looks just like her when she was young.
So… Joka seems to be an organization that serves Sothis directly, and has access to advanced technology.
We’ve seen another organization that appears both holy in nature, while having access to advanced technology: the Brides of the Pale Raven. That’s Anatolia’s faction. You remember those “friends of the bride” Dietrich fought? Same banner, baby. Now, it’s kinda hinted that this is a name given to them by the public, not their real name. In Anatolia’s jp website bio, its stated people have taken to calling her “the bride” because of her white outfit. So perhaps they and Joka are the same organization, and Anatolia let the name stick because Joka’s a secret organization. Or perhaps they’re different organizations with access to Agarthan technology.
Either way, this Joka organization seems like a major part of Eshmel’s storyline.
The gameplay clip reveals a new class for the game, the War Monk. Its specialties are gauntlets, faith, and infantry. It can likely wield axes as well, but that’s unconfirmed.
We also see that Troy has a gun of her own. While Anatolia’s was called a “Salamander”, this one’s called “Cerberus”. I wonder if the guns are each named after a mythical creature, or if these ones are just personal weapons. Either way, Troy's does look cool.
Now that Hong Hua and Troy have been revealed, I wonder if we’ll meet this Xenon person next, presumably Thursday night…
