gunlord500Not a fan of the cutesy look of it due to the gothic nature of the game but hey...it's such a small thing I can get over it.

A little too exaggerated for my tastes as well.
Might just be because I am too used to CV MC's being mostly silent/stoic.
Than again Mana and co have been saying they want Miriam to have more of a personality versus the old CV characters. And as far as I know we havent seen much of her personality yet.

fatihG Yeah the more personality worries me a bit. I myself enjoy the more stoic approach. Alucard, and even Shanoa come to mind. It fits the mood better to me. Doesn't mean there can't be funny moments but a toned down personality helps. I just don't want a Jonathan approach.

I like her expression and personality. A more expressive character is kinda what was sought for, to make her different from those other protagonists that would be more used to “fighting the army of the night.”

I am not a fan of this kawaii stuff at all. I've said it in other threads before that I wanted Miriam to be a badass character but it looks like we're not getting that.
It seems like 80% of this board likes cutesy stuff in their games so ofcourse I know I'm in the minority here and that Artplay won't change it =)

I'm probably more indifferent to the personality stuff than most as I tend to focus more on the beating up of bad guys aspect of this type of game and don't want it to be terribly plot heavy to begin with. I'd like to think there are other personalities other than a cliche bouncy anime schoolgirl trope that could be applied here though. For instance, I thought Shanoa had a very elegant look / feel even though she tended to be more towards the stoic side that they're trying to avoid as mentioned above.

kronfarfar Only expression so far is her jumping in joy about food. I would do the same, even if I were covered in the blood of my enemies. But hey... Even though this is the only expression we have ever seen her, the cuteness, so to speak, makes up 100% of her personality thus far! Think about that for a second. I believe, the footage of Vepar needed more work before they showed it for us (even though I were pleased with it anyways), and I won't spoil anything if I am correct, but trust me when I say. She will have all kinds of expressions. Cute was something to make her feel human. Anger, rage and revengence is the other side of that same coin. Hold on I am more about her turning all glowing red, and snap her fingers to make thousands of enemies become an ocean of corpses, I am morbid like that. But I also feel that some cute stuff is needed so everyone is pleased (I guess those thousand corpses won't happend, but.. overall, after a game playthrough, it should be very well over a thousand, right?)

The only time I jump around while cooking is when I've spilled something hot and burned myself. I do understand exaggerating to show more emotion, but I feel like it's overdone in some instances. This is probably why some people prefer some of the more stoic seeming characters.

yeah but theres a fine line between stoic being 'cool' and stoic being emotionless (see other m, japans 'cool' is our emotionless), i actually like the yatta pose, as it gets refined itll probably look even better
also gotta remember she missed out on 10 years of growing up, whats wrong with being excited once in a while? >P

The way excitement looks is relative. Some do turn into prancing puppies when excited. Others though may express that same feeling with only a smirk. Relative. Some can relate, some can't. It's just the way it goes.

I like her cooking animation and hope she continues to be expressive and "cutesy". If I wanted to play as Shanoa I'd replay OoE again. Let Miriam be her own character.

I think another struggle with Miriam's cutesy disposition is that she's our vessel into this brand new world we've never experienced before. So is the rest of the world as cutesy as she is or is she a fish out of water here? In Castlevania we've known the world for decades so we know what is a single character's vibe and we know the world's vibe distinctly.
With Bloodstained I genuinely have no idea of this new world's demeanor. It could be Lament of Innocence. It could be Lords of Shadow. Or it could be Disney's Beauty and the Beast. All very different approaches to gothic settings. I wish I had my bearings on Bloodstained's personality and tone but Im more lost than not. I want to invest in this new universe, but its hard to invest when I don't even know where I am.

I just like the video game-y-ness of it. Nah it's not per se realistic but that's what I like about it

A bit tongue in cheek is ok. Very often you have stern introvertive main characters. To break with that can be good but the way it is performed is important. I don´t see any issues here.

Busterific I do not think you slay a bunch of demons every day, and that "little thing" like cooking isn't as much as a treat for you. Imagine the small joy Miriam actually has, after been in coma, looked death into the eyes plenty of times, soaked in blood while frenzy cutting of limb after limb on her foes, this while being chased and have a freake'n curse spreading all across your body. Being happy about food, is a way of life. Just like goofball.

I am so happy about Miriam being so expressive. I hope we get a pouting expression, if people are allowed to mix outside of recipes, full with the japanese "mou~", upon failing.
She ends being in the totally huggable tier!

I will kinda miss the static menu image though because that itself is the best official image of Miriam/of her model ever.
