"It's good to meet you." (Some Fates DLC spoilers if you care)

So I just realized a very cool thing regarding the Fates children in Heroes, except for Shiro, that you may or may not already know about.

But first, some background. And spoilers.



Heirs of Fate is the Future Past DLC of Fates. It revolves around all of the children- mainly the Kanas and Shigure- as they try to find their parents, as they fought off Vallite invaders to let their children escape. In the sixth map Lost in the Waves (iconic for Shigure singing End of All for the map theme), they finally confront the mastermind behind it all- Anankos. If none of the children die by the end of the (painstakingly long) fight, there's a rather long post-battle scene to celebrate.

Shigure leads the group to a spring after Anankos leaves with Lilith to live among the stars, saying that he is going to dispose of the pendant that he (and Azura) wear, sort of like a last-wish thing. They're all going to lose their memories of the events of HoF once the pendant hits the bottom of the spring, but Kiragi brings up the idea of "if even just one of us remembers... What should they say to clue the rest of us in?" This gets them thinking of a phrase, and finally F!Kana comes up with "It's good to meet you." Shigure believes that this phrase is perfect, eventually going on to say...



Shigure: "It's good to meet you." Our promise to each other will be to acknowledge this greeting with a smile. Can we agree on that?

Kana (F): It's a deal!

Kana (M): No matter what world it is, we'll just say "It's good to meet you," and bam! Instant friends, every time!



"So how does this relate to Heroes, Kinshi?" none of you are asking. Well...

When you summon Soleil, Siegbert, and/or Rhajat, they all say this phrase first before stating their name and who they're the child of.

"It's good to meet you! I'm Soleil. My father's name is Laslow. I'll fight hard for all the cuties out there!"

"It's good to meet you. I'm Siegbert. Prince Xander of Nohr is my father, so as a future king, I'll give it my all."

"It's good to meet you. I am Rhajat... daughter of the diviner Hayato. And I certainly won't object to helping someone like you..."



Perhaps these three are from whatever Deeprealm that their Heirs versions were pulled from and were lucky enough to remember the phrase. Shiro doesn't do this, instead opting to say "NIce to meet ya!" and introducing himself first, but he has the same mindset of sorts either way. Or he just doesn't remember the events. We don't know.

But it's still a very heartwarming reference to the DLC, isn't it?
