No, this is not Maxima from Shining Hearts. She is Sakuya from Shining Blade. Btw, is it just me that most of the characters in Shining Blade above look reeeeeeeeeeealy familiar? Shining Recycle? XD

talking about recycle … even the figure itself is being recycled from the “first version”
Agree with you. They recicled their characters and put them new names. And some of them are exactly the same for example Ryuna (Shining Tears) and Elmina xD.
As for Sakuya (aka Maxima xD)I don’t really like her outfit… maybe is because I’m used to see her with her other dress. I’m hopping to see a red Sakuya (crimson mode (?)) or an Altina figure in the future cause I’m going to skip this one.
Reuse in the software industry is a good practice as it saves time and effort from developing same functionality over and over again.
Reuse in an artistic domain such as this, however, is rather disappointing an act.
It’s a recycled game… ><
Look like Seena became a protagonist. XD
I love the character design but reuse it over 2 times is a little…
From the video, its quite clear that maxima is part of the story. Maybe Sakuya is an alter ago to enfield in hearts. As for recycling, its ok if they give them new costumes but dont just recolour it like the infamous tama-nee rehashes were all acustomed too already.
