Question about Guardina

Post by Cless »

I just watched Intermezzo and I was wondering about how Guardina. In the end of the episode she uses a special skill from the Fragments Era to defeat an enemy. My question is, is the Guardina from the games the same Guardina?

They look similar, but they're different characters. The one in Intermezzo is named Mimika, has 3 players, and "retired" by turning to crystal sometime before SIGN (though it wasn't Fragment, it was just an older version of The World). The one in the games is named Gardenia, and has just one player that seems completely unrelated to those three girls.

People really need to learn that characters can, like, look the same as other characters without being related by some super complex plot twist.

Hmm, I... that person's name was Mimika, right? And I'm quite sure she had a different voice actor... the reals question to ask is how a lvl. 8 Long Arm amassed a fan club?

Hmm, we might be mistaken on whom Mimika is... that may have been Mimiru's old character name, I think I'll do a little research on it.

Enemy makes a lot of mistakes, since it's made by a third party in America... Like, the Grunty Girl's class is listed wrong (even though she's clearly a Rachel-type, and the credits list her as like "Blademaster A" or something), as well as other things that have come up...

That girl is Mimiru's old char, btw, and Mimiru's current name comes from Mimika.

As for her fanclub? Maybe her mysterious personality? She was still powerful to some people, Kite levels up unusually fast compared to the rest of The World. Even in like R:2, Reid saves up all his money and sells all his items and then gets PKed over what to someone playing Rebirth is just a cruddy level 15 weapon, but to the people leveling up at a "normal" pace it's very valuable...

Ah that's right, I'd like to know, how the weapon customization in G.U. I saw from some site it's quite bad, but anythings got to be better then the originl games, right?

Yeah, I'll agree with you there. That's strange. Because, I've never seen that one before. Sorry, that was off-topic.
