I love Alm, but I lean more towards female protagonists myself, so Celica pinged me more, too. And Alm definitely came off as a bit too melodramatic during the prologue; I totally get not wanting Celica to leave and that they formed a strong bond, but a simple "we'll meet again, I promise!" would have done.
As a unit, I find Alm a bit easier to use due to his better defense, but Celica is good at oneshotting things and learns to heal.
I ended up liking Faye a lot more than I anticipated, and I appreciate her having supports with Silque that show her coming out of her Alm-shell. I ship that along with Faye/Kliff and I'm content to ignore her ending.
(And yeah, if you recruit her with Celica she's actually super thrilled to see her again. If she were a legit yandere she'd want Celica dead. Tharja was a yandere, but Faye doesn't fit the profile one bit. She's more like Peri in that "I wanna make the enemy go sploosh!" way.)
I can't stand the hit rates, especially when it comes to my archers. Python was completely worthless till he hit his 2nd tier class. D:
I LOVE that the whole game is voiced, too. It gives such life to the characters and story, and I like the voice actors they picked, too. Leon and Mae are fucking flawless.
The village makes me think of Ace Attorney, with the talk options. And the dungeon explorations have improved a lot from the original Gaiden, letting you pick things up. I also like that you can heal with items now.
Valbar was my brick wall until we got assaulted by mages. Then I had to keep him in back lest my heart break at Leon's mourning quote. (I play casual, but even so, the quotes still make me feel bad if someone gets KOd)
