Finally got my hands on Radiant Historia!

\o/

I'm not very far yet, but I'm loving it a lot already! Stocke is just the right mix of 'calm and stoic' without shooting over into 'angsty jerk' territory, and he and Rosch are so married. Rosch's first conversation with him gave off overtones of 'worried wife who just wants her husband to come back safely already!'

Raynie isn't very subtle about her crush, and her remark about wanting the easy camaraderie that Stocke and Rosch have with each other rubbed me the wrong way because, hey, way to sell your own partner short, Raynie :(
I do like her a lot though, she's a good mix of emotional and 'take-charge tomboy' without falling into the tired clichés.

And Selvan and Dias' handling of their puppet queen is fascinating, although the princess is most likely going to disturb all of their careful planning.

Gosh yes, I love Stocke as a main character -- usually the stoic ones are like...well, like Squall. Kind of big jerks about it. But Stocke seems like he's just naturally sort of quiet around people but he does like them. <3
