"You're not looking at anything else, right??" -Magus

Poor Orphie has been working overtime being in all my DA teams AND working overtime at Random Play (Also definitely intended to have exactly 1234 fights with her /s)

Did Orphie make it into any of your top spots? And if not, who?

Always appreciate when Orphie's exoskeletal bits are appreciated, and her hair is cute too!

And Magus of course, looking handsome as always

Loving the Norma Orphie team and they feel quite strong. Is it because we have a Norma buff and the one attack fire boss in the entire game? Absolutely, but still.

The only problem is that between Norma's constant chain attacks and the heat charge that Orphie now gets very very frequently thanks to said chain attacks, the boss is getting interrupted all the time which makes it difficult to defense assist it enough times to get max performance points

Conveniently portable!

With the reveal of the multiple Sunbringers operating different departments within Roscaelifer, a lot of people are speculating, some as joke, some serious, that all 3 will be playable. While I think that is rather funny to consider, I don't think it's the case.

For one, I think it might be a bit too much. Even if they have very different personalities, I think 3 Sunbringers would be too similar visually, especially in a game where we have a lot of silver haired characters already.

But the main reason, and the one I have some manner of supporting evidence for, is these title/VA cards that all the other characters have. Despite the fact that we see little Sunbringer earlier in the character teaser, they are not given a title card at all, only this one.

One might argue they did it to keep the fact there are multiple Sunbringers a secret, but the problem with that is they clearly didn't care enough to not mention it now, before the patch or even official announcement is out, and even if they did want to keep it more of a secret, they could have used little Sungbringer's first name and just had this one, who looks like the Sunbringer we know, be called Sunbringer in the trailer.

One might also argue that all 3 have the same voice, but I think that is both highly unlikely and even if it were the case, incredibly boring.

They could go several different ways with it. They could somehow fuse into the "true" Sunbringer, they could have one be a boss, one be a friendly NPC and the other be playable, or maybe Sunbringer Prime is still not shown presently. But however they go about it, I do think there will only be one playable Sunbringer by the end of everything.

Edit: I am seeing a lot of comments saying they're going to release all of them as void hunters, citing "if void hunters sell so well, 3 void hunters will sell even better". I don't think it works like that. The "void hunter cycle" works because it's one big character every 6 months. I fully believe that if you just slap the void hunter title on a bunch of different characters, it's not going to have the same effect. If they released Miyabi, Yixuan and Shunguang as new characters back to back to back, they are not going to have the same level of sales as they did when they were spaced out. People get fatigued and even disheartened when there are so many "must have" characters in a row and they can't keep up. Not to mention, creating a bunch of void hunters all over the place not only devalues the idea of void hunters in general, it also even further devalues every non void hunter. If anything, thinking about the many downsides of having a ton of void hunters thrown in only strengthens my belief that there will be only one. I'm not 100% positive there won't be multiple Sunbringers that are playable, but I am very confident that only one of them will be the void hunter in terms of mechanics.
