Lloyd might be a bit generic, but he is smart, has a will and never gives up. You can see it at the end of CS2 when he and Rean face each other (which i also consider to be one Rean's few good moments.) Lloyd 🤝 Estelle 🤝 Kevin though. 12 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: They caved in too quickly to Osbro and his gang for my liking. Considering how powerful Osbro is, i don't mind it that much.

Alto, Zephy, and Jack aren't exactly paragons of unique male leads, either, but nothing about them makes them bad at all. They're still likeable for me. I got that same vibe from Lloyd during the brief stint with him in CS2. The moment he and Rean met was pretty great for him, I agree. 11 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Considering how powerful Osbro is, i don't mind it that much. I hate more how it was done. I just hated how everyone just completely sunk into the floor or turned bootlicker supreme the moment he - or anyone with a high position, really - showed up, when there is really no need for that. Like my great-grandmother used to say "Even the Emperor of China needs to poop." Though given Osbro's state, it is doubtful he has any bowel movements.

Especially so when the side characters are way, way more interesting than the generic MC and you'd rather have the story focus on them instead of him. Also Rean. I think the examples I mentioned do a pretty good job of not falling into that trap. 4 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Tbf, Erebonia is a pretty old fashioned society.

Lightcosmo Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) So, in XenoblaDE, Future Connected, why does Shulk have the Monado, Spoiler if it's a year after the ending, shouldn't the Monado be gone, or at least be the Monado III?

Sky makes you hate Erebonia and neutral towards Calverd. Crossbell makes you despise both lol I got the feeling she was more of representive of the Crossbell player. She hypes up the stuff that happend in the Crossbell games but doesn't really talk too much about Liberl, which makes sense. Though that does bring in a minor criticism of her character. Sometimes it does feel like she's actually a Crossbell fan that inserted themselves into the game. I guess it has to do with the fact that CS3 is like "oh yeah, she was always there guys. She personally knew the SSS and was friends with them and all" when she doesn't even exist in the Crossbell games (Kai is retconning this). I didn't mind it too much when i watched the playthrough but now that i'm actually playing the game for real, i see it. It's a minor criticism though, i still like her character. 1 hour ago, Shrimperor said: #DieterDidNothingWrong I know you said it as a joke but she actually does acknlowedge that he wasn't in the right. 59 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Hell, Erebonia makes you despise it.

A lot of Japanese media portrays nobles like this. If the noble character isn't the "good-hearted and kind" category, they fall in the cartoonishly evil side of things. Even Trails in the Sky wasn't able to fully escape this. You had Duke what's-his-face and while he wasn't evil, i wouldn't exactly call him a good person either. Well, not in the first game at least.

In fact, it's said how the nobles and commoners had a war some hundred years ago in liberl and then peace happened. And in Sky you had the mayor of Bose, which was basically a noble. And the ruler of Liberl is still a queen, albeit a good one, so there was much more balance there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was more that it's just a thing that tends to happen in JRPG/anime stories like this. Some do it better than others none of them can seemingly escape that pitfall. Not completely anyway.

Armagon Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Star Wars: The Clone Wars S7 E9. I can already tell that the Siege of Mandalore is gonna be one of the greatest arcs in this show.

Jingle Jangle Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hope it can end the season with a bang. Most of the season was rather meh. The order 66 was the result of mind chips now feels that it slightly lessens it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great character, though. Pretty memorable, too. And yes, character moments and interactions in Dragon Star were absolutely top notch. If it weren't for the "even regular enemies can attack you multiple times in a single turn" thing, I would have put that game into my S-tier for sure. 54 minutes ago, Armagon said: Juna be like "Erebonia?

I wouldn't put season 7 above seasons 5 and 6 (yet) but i wouldn't call it meh imo. The Bad Batch arc was good way to reintroduce us to the Clone Wars world after being away from it for so long and the Sisters arc was more in line with the smaller scale stories from previous seasons. Though i'll agree that particular arc wasn't the best and if were gonna only have 12 episodes, i would've prefered something else. 6 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: If it weren't for the "even regular enemies can attack you multiple times in a single turn" 7 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I thought the ones on Osborne's side were pretty punchable, too, especially his Ironbloods (this got worse in CS3.
