"La Pucelle question"
, posted Thu 4 Sep 06:51
Is Princess Eclair meant to be a parody/homage of Princess Crown's Gradriel? She has any Gradriel move? And is she playable in the game?
Thanks for any answer, I'm a PC fan, and this is intriguing me.
For some pics on the subject check the page four of the gallery on my site ^^.

Yeha...they do look a LOT alike, don't they? I dunno if it's an homage or coincidence, though. She's one of the main characters...and one of my favorites. So...yeah...she's playable. Ahhh...I can't seem to remember any of her moves, other than the Dark Eclair ones, her double with Homard and (the one I used the most) one where she slashes you into the air, then stabs you repeatedly.

Have you seen this pic in good quality? And of course, I want this...
Oh, and if you like Mugen, check this Gradriel, but it only works with older Mugen versions (v00101).

Kyaaaah! The poster pic looks sooo cool. Man, that artist really busts his booty doing illustrations. Well, I mean...he did like 8-10 "scene" pics for the Marl Kingdom games he did, and more seem to keep popping up. The model is cooool too. The only La Pucelle model I've seen is the Prier/Coulotte one that was on the artist's webpage. I wish there was a La Pucelle artbook, but I think there's only the one that came with the limited edition of the game...

Actually, I didn't like that one at all. Doesn't really look like her. But man are there some really cool ones on that page, even semi-obscure like Atelier Judie:
The level of detail on some of these just boggles my mind.

Just in case of you didn't know, "La pucelle" is a word in french to say: virgin... a girl who have never made it, well.....
Jane d'arc was a famous "pucelle" and even give this name to the village where she was born: Donremi la pucelle.
well end of the french leçon....
sorry.....

Sorry if I'm annoying you, I'm a Princess Crown fan and I'm intrigued...
What is the relation between normal and dark Eclair? Do they transform, Grandia II-style? And is Dark Eclair playable? I saw the Pocket Fighter Morrigan-style special she has in the huge trailer from the official site...
I'm still looking for that poster image, with no luck...

Yeahyeah! Actually, you fight Dark Eclair in Eclair's mind (if I recall) and then later, she sort of "reconciles" with her and you're able to transform into her as you like. (you can do this for a large portion of the game) It takes a turn, but turning into Dark Eclair is like having a totally different character. She has her own set of moves and such. Both Eclair and Dark Eclair's final attack is a technique that uses...erm..."both" of them in a large combo. Well, anyway Eclair and Dark Eclair are the pretty much the same person. Whoo...I have to think hard to remember this.

It's very much the Grandia 2 type thing. The whole subplot of her dark self has been translated for the patch. Cute little subplot, if a bit predictable. Right now she's my favorite character, though I don't have the ability to transform her into her dark self yet.
If you have the ability to play either JPS2 games or burned ones (to use the patch) I think you'd really enjoy La Pucelle.

Yes, the one that looks like the Morrigan/Lilith super from Pocket Fighter? Actually if I remember correctly, Gradriel had a "mirror combo" tech too.
As fas as Japanese RPG's go, I'm playing Summon Night Craftsword Monogatari on my GBA. Very very fun. And very very very cute main female character.

Hey whats up with the gunslinger priest? (the one that looks like Wolfwood from Trigun) does he have a split personality like Eclair?
Oh and the fighting priest is awesome, reminds me of a bad guy that you would see on grappler baki.

Croix. He's a freelance exorcist and Pier's love interest. He does have a Wolfwood sort of personality.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
And yes he does have a split personality. I think he's the legendary prince of darkness, though that part wasn't translated sadly. His powered up self kicks ass though.

Croix was the lamest character in the game. I liked everybody BUT him. Yeah I was surprised to find out about what he really is and it was cool to seem him go nuts, but...eaugh. I was REALLY disappointed to see what Noir turned into as well. I hated that Prier liked Croix, but it was OK cause Homard and Eclair are the cutest couple ever.
Oh, and cause I didn't answer it earlier...uhm, yeah, the move with Eclair/Dark Eclair is...from what I can remember...a bit like the PocketFighter combo. But...this is from a hazy memory of both games.

No, Pier's little whipping boy brother was the lamest character in the game. Either him or Homard's fairy 'girlfriend.' They're annoying in the story parts and useless on the battlefield. -_-
