I don't even like Father Kevin

Really wish this game was about Estelle and Joshua :(

the Estelle joshua storyline is finished in SC.

Estelle and Joshua still appear in the game as playable characters. But since Joshua returned to Estelle in the second game, sorted himself out, freed himself from Weissmann's influence and started dating her, their plot arc's pretty much tied up.

It's kinda difficult to state you don't like Kevin when the character you've witnessed for a large part of SC was essentially an act.

[Saralene]

If you don't like Kevin now, you'll probably come out of 3rd loving him as a character.
You will find out way, way more about him than in SC, and you'll see the real him much more.

I also didn't like Kevin all that much in SC... until seeing his last scene. That's why I'm so eagerly waiting for playing the "real" Kevin in 3rd.

This Game would be better if LIberls greatest Hero Gilbert is the Protagonist

In fact there are two different sets of battle lines and victory quotes for Kevin in the 3rd: one set is the "goofy priest" you hear throughout SC, and the other set is unique to this game.

Also, this game has been out since June of 2007 in Japanese, if you wanted it to be about Estelle and Joshua, you're a bit late to say it. This is just a translation of the game.

Kevin goes on a mission into an alternate world, faces his true self and obtains a persona, then explores this alternate world until he finds the god that manipulated him and takes them down with the power of the bonds of friendship.

Okay, wrong game.

But maybe you'll like him more after his actual personal story, told in this game.

I didn't "hate" him, but I didn't particularly 'like' him either. He was like a lesser Olivier to me. I kinda felt sorry for the guy because, it seemed like he was getting feelings for Estelle, but Estelle's heart was long-past given to Joshua well before they met.

I do still appreciate the kindness he showed Estelle when she needed it.

[Erpy]

Admittedly, without that last scene, he might have been just that, even though Kevin's more "active" almost since the beginning. (he's being taken to the Sealed Area by Julia Schwarz, who treats him as an important person, he's shadowing enforcers and he keeps popping up in areas where crap goes down) Olivier in FC was just having slightly suspicious conversations with Mueller. That last scene where he shows his nastier side is what sets him apart from Ollie so much. Even when he's being shady, Olivier still comes across as fun-loving and good-natured. Kevin's darker side is terrifying and makes you wonder how different he and the Ouroboros members really are.

I dunno. THAT part felt like a blatant act to me from pretty early on. Estelle even calls him on the fact that he frequently uses it to brush off her suspicion and when I replayed the game, I started feeling that maybe Kevin was using that act as an excuse for hanging around her. (or in Estelle's words: "being a creepy stalker")

In the scene before the official prologue, Kevin found out that someone put a block on Estelle's memory (using the church's thaumathurgy arts) and he very likely realized that the guy he was sent to kill was responsible. He could have lifted that block right then and there, the way he did with Kurt, and in the process give the entire Royal Army a description of what Weissmann looked like. Seeing that Weissmann had an interest in Estelle, Kevin probably figured his best chance of locating his target was leaving the memory block intact, keeping an eye on Estelle, wait until Weissman approached HER and then make his move. Which is not a very nice thing to do to a person you supposedly have feelings for. He was essentially using her as bait.

I'm kinda hoping we'll get to see how SC went down from Kevin's POV, because I'm admittedly curious what he was really thinking all that time.

[Iido]

I feel like Kevin's going to be an awesome character. I was kinda so-so on him at first, but if his little scene after the final battle in SC is anything to go by, we've got a lot to look forward to. Needless to say, he's a much more serious character than he first appears...

I won't say whether you're right or not. It's always fun to speculate just how much of Kevin's dialogue in SC is actually genuine. Even the 3rd won't spell everything out in the open for you

Kevin's whole angle for getting involved in 2nd was for the opportunity to shoot Weissman with that salt stake to execute him as a heretic. Sticking with Estelle was the most logical lead to eventually get to Weissman.

if we bring him with us for the fight against loewe why doesn't he kill weissman then :(
loewe :( libert ark :(
