Scrap Dragon posted:Is Elise an actual romantic option? Cause I was gonna make a post about how the writing around Estelle and Josh, even as early into FC as I am, was making me less and less sure the Rean/Elise bits in CS were supposed to be a joke like some posters have said. She is an option and the writing is a little cringey but thankfully no making out, they just promise to "talk about their future together" Hajimari: Thankfully all the bonding and romantic events are tied to an optional beach Michelam beach game

After dealing with it being the emotional core of the story in Sky at least in CS it's only there for freaks who seek it out I guess. E: Or freaks who want all the trophies.

At least the Millium/Jusis relationship is still cute and not creepy. Jusis isn't into Millium, right? Right? edit: god i'm so disappointed learning that altina is a romantic option. motherfucking falcom. come the gently caress on. Thats like if KeA and Lloyd was a thing. Ugh. Someone probably wanted to do that too. Sankis fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Oct 26, 2020 |

Sankis posted:At least the Millium/Jusis relationship is still cute and not creepy. Bad news. It is a more light Tita/Agate thing. People tease them about it and there is the exact same basic writing. However it is light enough you can just assume it is sibling and ignore Millium talking about how romantic it is and referring to 'other couples' as just her teasing Jusis KeA and Reanne seem to avoid it entirely thankfully. Edit: The weirdest loving thing is also a lot of people in story assuming Angelica and George are going to hook up like what the gently caress she has one personality trait and it is being lesbian as gently caress.

I thought it was a bit distasteful to give Elie boobs at big as her head, it looks really disproportionate, she isn't the only one to get the treatment either. The Altina situation is weird because she was born to be unemotional and to follow orders a little less guilt in sacrificing her to make the sword of the end. In a heartfelt moment she is the first to rush in to hug him after saving him so she is only just so she is just trying to figure out her emotions, Rean ultimately doesn't really see it as romantic and more of a guardian if you pick this romance route

Dude literally says that he'll be waiting after she graduates. Maybe there is something later that makes that less creepy but his entire scene is him assuring her he chose to be there with her and all.

See this is why I always went with Alisa as the romance option because she is the 'canon'-ish one

I honestly kept forgetting she exists because Emma's magic bullshit and her catgirl familiar end up so much more front and center. It feels like they went 'she is the default, she doesn't need to do much.'

Ah, getting the Elliot treatment. Truly nothing is more tragic. Hope that's not really the case though. Halfway through CS2 and she's one of the better of the Class VII cast.

Rean doesn't want to romance his students so Juna tells him to survive so she can graduate and they are no longer "Teacher and student" Musse route is more or less the same Ultimately Alisa/Laura just seem to be the logical choices to me, as cringey as some of these scenes are they don't really matter to the overall story. I was using these translations for the romance events so maybe they're not 100% accurate but I went through most of them. https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/9kj11p/english_translations_of_trails_of_cold_steel_iv/

I honestly kept forgetting she exists because Emma's magic bullshit and her catgirl familiar end up so much more front and center. This is why I've always argued that Emma should have been the female lead, not Alisa. It's so obvious that she's more connected to the overall story than pretty much everyone else, even before CS3 really ramped up the magic bullshit side of the curtain. Obviously I haven't played CS4, but nothing about the ending of CS3 suggests that's going to become less true.

I have some questions. I went to read that rpgsite review of CS4 and something stuck out to me. quote:The curse is a concept which at any given time can do essentially anything or nothing at all -- it can push a character towards conflict or allow literally any interaction that the writers so desire. It can possess a horse, it can be built into a Panzer Soldat, it can be conjured forth by music (and healed by it), and god knows what else more. What???

The curse is much better than Weissman's unexplained mind control at least, and that is the entire backbone of sky's plot too. SO3's twist is arguably the worst twist ever though.
