Octopath Traveler: Primrose Alezhard

She's one of the eight protagonists who is on a quest to avenge her father's death after he was killed by Helgenish, the master of the dancers with a sinister look. Before the murder 10 years prior, she was a member of the once proud house of Azelhart and an lovely dancer who worked in Sunshade and during that time, she had no idea what to do and simply cowered in fear as she watched the events transpire. During battle, she is an enhancer, and has access to various buffing skills with her primary Dancer job, but the downside is that they only target one ally at a time. Like Ophilia, she can request the assistance of townspeople she has previously allured and her weapons are a pair of daggers and she can control dark elemental magic.

Some of these pictures like the first one are from the game's Wiki page. As for the game itself, the story is about these eight heroes who have their own missions and routes to go through, each of them had different Path Ability, which is an skill they can use to interact with non-player characters that are divided into two categories: Noble, the ability's effectiveness dependent by the character's level or amount of in-game currency, and Rogue, which has a risk of its user losing credibility upon other non-playable characters. Gameplay-wise during fights, it is turn-based like the old-school Super Famicon/Super Nintendo RPGs like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI.

Primrose caught my interest out of the eight heroes because of her backstory and appearance, in some ways, I feel sorry for her since she lost not only her father but her home too. I would have like to cheer her up or to watch her dance gracefully barefoot.

This is an modern RPG with an classic old-school style and gameplay developed by the producers behind the Bravely Default series with some help from Square Enix and Acquire.

I hope that you guys would enjoy this game if you have an Switch because it was a bit of a breath of fresh air from the fatigue of countless action modern RPGs. In fact, even though I'm not really an RPG fan, I still enjoy the playthroughs of this game despite the the lack of interaction between the travelers outside of the main story since none of the eight traveled together in a group.

Xenoblade 2: Mythra

Also known as Hikari in the Japanese version of the game. she's a special Legendary Blade, and along with Pyra, they are the two personifications of the Aegis, the legendary Blade wearing an emerald-like Core Crystal, from which Pyra can transform into Mythra and vice versa at anytime they want, this can be unlocked once you finished the third chapter of the main story. She is very good at analyzing the structural integrity of buildings and the strength of her opponents, so she can take them out in one shot without breaking a sweat. Her personality was a bit tsundere with a soft side towards Rex, but she is terrible at cooking unlike Pyra, who is a better housewife. Mythra even has her own mecha called Siren, which she can use for her finishing move, sadly, she cannot pilot it. Her original Driver was Addam from 500 years ago during the Aegis War against Malos, the main villain of the game.

Aside form the Pyra figure, Mythra got a 1/7 scale figure by Good Smile Company and Kotobukiya. The Mythra figure is approximately 210mm in height, and is based on a concept art designed by Masatsugu Saito. The Mytha figure will be released in Feburary 2019.
By the way, Mythra herself reminds me of Angela Balzac from the movie, Expelled from Paradise, due to their design and appearances, mostly because they were both designed by the same guy, Masatsugu Saito.
