It's so weird, I look at his 41-year-old design and he doesn't look middle-aged at all :blink: Same for his younger designs, he looks more like a boy.

His oldest incarnation is from Atelier Meruru, which if I'm not mistaken is the most recent Atelier game, so I guess this is the appearance he'll use in WO3: Ult.

I think in his 3D render he'll be made to look older somewhat.

Hopefully he'll actually do something in the storyline and not appear and disappear like Joan does. (But Joan has a spotlight in one or two of the DLC stages so...)

That's what I found about his personality:

Quote:
 
Sterk is a very serious person with an equally serious and stern expression permanently on his face. This causes numerous women and children, including the various main characters to be afraid of him, most notably the receptionist Filly who screams and passes out in one scene.

As the story progresses, however, most characters get used to him and thus are no longer bothered by him, though it has caused several misunderstandings. One of them being when Totori's sister assumed he was a kidnapper when he surprised her, causing her to scream at the sight of him. This is a matter that it is made quite clear that he is bothered by. To the point where he has abruptly excused himself on occasion and commented "made five children cry today."

His greatest love is raising pigeons. As such he employs messenger pigeons as a result. He very briefly seemed to connect with a fellow pigeon lover, the butler Rufus, until they began to argue about the proper color they should be. Sterk says as pigeons symbolize peace they should be white. Clearly replacing doves in this case. Whereas Rufus Claims Black is a better color as stealth is sometimes required.


And as I posted in WO3U thread, I hope his this will be his musou

Oh, and I definetely hope that he will have some convrsation with Zhang Fei:

i am sorry but that is not the face of a terrifying man. that is the face of an anime pretty boy ... at least by our standards

if hes consider a scary and serious looking male by Atelier standards, then i dread their thoughts on what "handsome" or "pretty" males look like...

i hope that in his more realistic appearance in WO3U, they give him a face that can go with his "serious and stern" description, a face that could be considered scary.

I'm definitely hoping that his inclusion to WO means one thing... A freaking Atelier Musou game/series in the future! But with the anime style, though. He looks a bit odd in his WO3 render. And there's so many characters they can choose. Hopefully it'll happen, sooner, or later.

I think people are scared of him not because he's ugly, terrifying or something, but because he always have grim expression on his face and a very piercing stare. Add a big sword and a very deep voice to it, and it will became clear, why women and the children thinks that he is going to kill them , rob them or eat them :XD

i never once said he wasn't 'ugly' enough. I just said, in that style of art, nothing can be considered terrifying no matter how serious you try to make them. That's the problem with SUPER CUTSY ADORABLE art like that, nothing can be taken seriously.

still dont think he looks all that fierce or serious. They should have given him more realistic anatomy features to fit in with the rest of the characters, his face is gonna make him stick out like a VERY sore thumb. At least they went with him at his 41 age appearance, Dat Coat <3!

Do people in the Atelier universe physically look half their actual age? Because I'll never believe that Sterk is in his early forties. If they had gone ahead and made him super realistic, sticking to the description that he looks stern and terrifying, then he would've looked somewhat like Zhou Tai. But the transition from bishonen anime to 3D realism isn't too awkward, and I think I'll get used to it.

In that screenshot next to his render he is shown standing with Wu people...does that mean he'll be joining them in the story?

He is,according to his wiki article, a Knight of some kind. what you think? which version you hope were gonna end up with? I prefer his design at 41 my self to be honest. I really like his coat.
His first appearance was best, in Atelier Rorona. I mean, he was SO MUCH better looking (plus he didn't look as...creepy. Age has not been kind to him, but to Esty it has).

This x10000. I just think he looks weird in 3D.

As a representative of the Atelier series, I approve of Sterk. Totori (she could fight with her alchemical items) or Mimi would have made a better choice, IMO, or maybe even Gio, for that matter.

There's also Motochika and Yoshimoto, so I don't think he will join some particular faction.

....Just realizing it guys...Atelier didnt have this big HUMAN enemies category. They're mostly...monster...and most of the human enemies is in atelier iris series and mana khemia series. As for antagonist...they didnt have this big army too...

So i dont think Atelier musou is more likely to happen unless they put new enemies which is humanoid or human-like. Or if it is Atelier toukiden.... :rolleyes:

@ KansakUma: no, I'm not wikia-blocked, It's just that I visited his page on the Atelier wiki, and for each picture tab containing his artworks the last one with his Meruru appearance said "at 41", but below in the ages box it is stated that in Meruru he was 39. Still he looks ridiculously youthful for an age like that. In past DW databooks people like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Jian are stated to be in their late thirties, yet they look noticeably old. Sterk here looks like he belongs among the likes of Lu Xun.

After thinking it for awhile, i kinda doubt Atelier musou is a good thing.
Reasons:
1) no big army of enemies/story is mostly..relaxing unlike Ps2 series-> Can be substituted with some random antagonists
2) Almost non-existent human enemies.Mostly monster
3) Main point of Atelier is gathering...and gathering from general...not really my choice.

If it is toukiden-like..
Strong Points:
1) Monsters.Large Enemies.
2) open world-system unlike DW series
3) Gathering system is way better implemented this way.

How about combine both of them then...

Anyway :ot:

OKay...reina i can see that...yeah i agree he is abit too young...well in my place Man who aged 40s kinda shows abit of wrinkles...so either he is genetically-mutated or simply because he goes to space to slash the moon alot, making him feels more younger i dont know... :P

By the way, I wonder, with whom he will be interacting? We saw Huang Gai, Sun Shangxiang, Motochika and Yoshimoto, but I can see him interacting with Nemea, since both of them are fantasy knights.

Wait...

If Sterk looks so serious that he can make kids cry, then I guess Zhang Liao is the one who will stop the kids' crying, if you know what I mean... :sly:

Interesting choice from the Atelier series but I would've though they added one of the Alchemists from the series but hey, I don't mind another Knight :p (or maybe its because he's voiced by Juurota Kosugi, one of my favorite seiyuus :ph43r: )


I hope to see how he plays!

And face close up:

Really, my main gripe is that it doesn't look realistic, and his looks don't fit in anywhere within the rest of the cast.

On the official site I looked at his close-up, then at Kasumi's , then back again. He really DOES look out of place. His hair in particular looks like it's still cel-shaded.

If they ever do an Atelier Musou, maybe all the characters will end up looking like this, a weird cross between realism and anime.

Koei probably just wanted to retain some of the original animesque style from the Atelier series, so that the difference isn't too jarring. After all, they did the same with the One Piece: Pirate Warriors series.

Anyway, is it just me or does he actually look even younger in this rendition than his Atelier counterpart?
