I settled for voting for Annie and Beowulf this time around.
I think that if only Annie or Minette makes it to the final around, their fans are likely to converge around the other. Not guaranteed, but likely. It's in my best interest to see at least one of them succeed, because it improves Feng's odds for the second character vote(feeeeeeeng), and the best way for one of them to succeed is to not have a split in the final round.
By the same token, if Minette makes it and Annie doesn't, I'll be voting for her to improve Feng's odds.
I voted Beowulf because I lost a bet. But if he makes it in, I have no problem with that; his playstyle has a lot of potential and I think he provides contrast to the forthcoming cast in a way that Panzerfaust wouldn't(though I would have voted for Panzerfaust had I not lost the bet). Big Band is already someone who is going to be pretty large compared to most of the cast, as well as modified to the point where you don't identify with him immediately as human. Panzerfaust touches on all of that(albeit in a different way), while Beowulf is more vanilla/Ordinary Guy-esque(just at an immediate glance, not saying that's all he is). I think adding his 'vanilla' would be great for contrast at this point.
I like Eliza a lot; I think she would normally be on my shortlist. Buuuut I don't want to see her in the game yet.
It's sort of a backwards-opinion, but I seriously believe that L0 will get funding for a full-fledged sequel down the line, and when they do, Eliza seems like she will be a lock due to how story-relevant she is. That's not to say that voting for her is a waste now, but it's less important/interesting to me.
I'd rather put my vote towards edge cases that may have not made it under normal circumstances... so for example, I think Stanley getting votes would have a pretty decent payoff; I can't see getting him in-game being a priority for a while(if at all) otherwise compared to the story-relevant cast, since he's only on the list because of fan support.
Anyway, due to the above fuzzy logic I don't see myself voting for Eliza or Aeon in this contest or the next one, even if I do like a lot of things about them.
