I doubt Miriam will be as emotionless as Shanoa. From the character designs, she seems to have a smug look about her that Shanoa doesn't have. (See the magic chair and posh tea-cup holding image of Miriam that channels Alucard's 'carefree-when-not-reminiscing' nature. Which warms my heart, she's his little apprentice!!)
Miriam is very much the type of girl that I am. She looks youthful and elegant, doesn't talk alot, but would probably rend a demon in half. Shanoa doesn't talk alot too, but looks dangerous, and is dangerous (aside from liking cats). The point: Miriam has innocence where Shanoa has emptiness. I can even see Miriam hesitating to fight/kill Gebel in the future because of their previous relationship. Compare to Shanoa fighting colleagues without much strain...(despite eventual remorse).
Miriam might even attempt to revive Gebel's former self as she knows he's trapped in his own body, and the magi-crystals are controlling him. Remember, his heart is the only thing that isn't touched by the curse. (Soma Cruz parallels?)
So...what's Miriam's darkness from the curse that takes up part of her heart? Is it naivety? Carelessness? She's definitely not Shanoa in that core aspect. (Here's hoping that ties into alternate game endings!)

Ample breasted women exist in the real world. To make the movement that every video game female protagonist must be flat chested bundled in a sweater is the opposite of 'real'. They look natural and are fine the way they are right now. Nobody complained or even pointed it out in the first set of shader screenshots, it was only until they showed Miriam from a different angle that the nonsensical ones started to open their mouths. Those complaining act like they have never seen a woman before and her outfit is not super revealing at all - it's just a skirted dress! This is Iga's creation, and he has full freedom and absolute control over this, everything about this game should be envisioned true to what HE wants. This is his art. This game should be about what he envisions. As Thrashinuva pointed out, it's a big double standard when nobody complains about Zangetsu (The samurai character) and his wide shoulders and exposed, ripped and toned torso covered in scars. Yet, Miriam is getting heated over her size. Took the words out of my mouth. To be honest, I'm female, and not flat-chested. Miriam is normal!! Argh! Also yes, look at Zangetsu.

How much do we want to bet that whoever writes the updates is going to steal that pun when they talk about the donuts in the next one? They must credit me with the pun... (Nah. People are free to steal it.)

What I think...
Miriam - Laura Bailey (Rise, Reimi, and Serah really fit Miriam's mold!! Also she's in Metal Gear.) Johannes - Matthew Mercer OR Troy Baker (Cid Treasure Hunter/Edge or Ocelot [younger]) Zangetsu - Steve Blum (Vincent. Valentine. And he's in a Metal Gear game.) Assuming as I based on Rocketsound's roster. And alot of Metal Gear. Also I want some BRITISH ACCENTS! The game is set in London. (Edit: Confirmed a no on the accents.) >>
Japanese: Miriam - Hanazawa Kana OR Hoko Kuwashima in a softer tone (Hoko-san was Shanoa but if she uses her natural voice she is MIRIAM, omg!! Same with Hanazawa-san! LOL!). Johannes - Takahiro Sakurai (Relaxing voice for a blond guy, you may also know him as Jonathan Morris. >w>) Zangetsu - Kazuya Nakai (Played a lot of katana users [Masamune Date] and the first Jojo [Young version]) Gebel - Akio Ohtsuka. Or Kenyu Horiuchi. (Just...METAL GEAAAAR.) A few throwbacks, samurai, and METAL GEAR!

I just found this thread. Thank you all for the warm welcome <3 ! I was pretty nervous during the podcast since I usually don't talk much. I'll do my best! purifyweirdshard Haha you're right. I used to work as an art contractor for Gaia Online before coming here . crocodile *entering acoustic guitar solo* I should have welcomed you in my message to you! But anyway, welcome, Mana ! Also, I am not much of a talker either...trying to get out of that if you're a pretty quiet person is tough, but I do it through my office work and streaming on twitch. I just wanted to say I used to be big into Gaia Online, but my love of gaming (especially console games) pulled me away from it. I check it maybe once a blue moon. I am momo_53191 on Gaia. Edit: I am most definitely the Pure!Miriam clone of the idol group. Sans the blonde hair, mine's strawberry blonde. *whips some candles*

Hello! dimlitcandle here, but you can call me Momo if you'd like. Longtime lurker of the forums, longtime gamer, and recent twitch streamer. I've been here since the campaign started. I'm just a bit awkward when it comes to being social, so forgive me there! I'm a personal contributor of donuts to Artplay staff and I'm with Clan Broadsword. Thanks to XombieMike for inviting me on Facebook! Also thanks to Mana for being patient with me while I tried to sign up for the forums, so I got my donut pal purifyweirdshard from the Facebook club to message Mana for me. Thank you so much!
