It’s been a while since we heard anything about the next Tales mothership title, Zestiria. Thankfully a little newsbit has squeezed through the cracks (Weekly Jump, actually) and graced us with some info regarding one of the game’s main characters, Edna.
Designed by Minoru Iwamoto and voiced by Misato Fukuen, Edna is a one of the Divine (Tenzoku) that has been living all alone in the sacred mountain called “Reiforc” ( レイフォルク, reiforuku ). Though usually indifferent, she likes stirring up people with her words. She’s really wary against humans and does not trust them. Also, continuing the tradition of one of your main characters wielding a whacky weapon, Edna uses an umbrella in combat.
Iwamoto was the character designer behind the lukewarmly received (At least here in the west) Radiant Mythology games, though that shouldn’t have any bearing on the quality of this new game.
