I'm always tickled when any references to Circle of the Moon or Legacy of Darkness are made. It's great to see that Camilla's appearance is recognizable from her appearance in Circle of the Moon. I have to wonder if her storyline will make any references to the events of Circle of the Moon. Then of course, there's Cornell to look forward to.
It's somewhat of a shock to see Shanoa with short hair, but her veil (or whatever it's called) can billow up to reveal her back tattoo just as well as her hair could (um, assuming that's low cut in the back and she even has a tattoo there...). Its nice at any rate and a little cute (although "cute" isn't the word for her in OoE). I'm glad they FINALLY confirmed the rumor that she would be unlock able via DS connectivity.
What I was surprised at was that Aeon is also unlockable through DS connectivity. Guess that's not too surprising since we did see his name on the Villager's list in OoE. Gotta know how big a role he plays in OoE. I'm going to guess that he's a boss of this game, but the only way you can actually play as him is using DS connectivity.
Golem is not very pleasing to look at (but that was obviously what they were going for). I hope he's more palatable in the game itself. It'll be good to actually be able to control him in a game, rather than just "tell" him what to do as in Curse of Darkness. He's got a pretty good set of signature moves. Wonder if he'll have a chain attack?
Now we just need artwork for Cornell, Trevor, Grant, and Sypha and for them to be confirmed.
