I remember this game having an 80's-sitcom-like obsession with discussing gender relations, although I wonder if I'm just exaggerating things in my mind. Looking forward to seeing this play out.

This game has the second or third best castle theme of any RPG I can think of.

Also, Foomy is Foomy.

The whole post-Gades thing was when I really started to regard Iris as an obnoxious weak spot in the narrative. It gets to the point where it's like playing D&D with an insufferable auteur-like DM, the kind that has their mysterious DMPC follow the party around and overwrite wipeouts at the behest of some greater Destiny the Plot.

We actually talked about this one earlier.

To sum it up (as far as my memory goes)

A: She can equip swords

B: She's not a bad fighter (she's WAY better than Tia for instance).

C: She's great compared to everybody who's not named Maxim, Guy, or Dekar (or Gades, or etc...).

I'm pretty sure she's a worse physical combatant than every character you get except Tia.

If I remember correctly, the only person that tries to pigeonhole Selan into the "support magic user" role is Guy. Since he seems to be Audience Surrogate Dude, though, that may be an intended meta-joke.
