Sooks Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Yes... I did say "still very anime", didn't I? However, he has two character traits instead of one, and he pulls off the "morally gray" thing better than the relevant characters who are supposed to be morally gray. Plus, he's old. Like, something around 30 years old, fucking ancient. Honestly, I wasn't expecting it, but I think plotwise he may be my favorite character in Fates, just because he's not as obscenely bad as everyone else. ...With the exception of Izana, but that's only because I find Izana's one character trait to be wonderful. I’m pretty sure that’s still pretty anime. Although I guess that was the point. I love you equate being less “obscenely bad” with being less anime. Wonderful! My vote would go to Arthur because he makes me think of a cartoon character, but I’m not an expert. Quote Oh. Right. Yeah, that is pretty cool, I suppose. Blame that mishap on my complete lack of interest in Zelda. 14 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Even being a rickety old man by anime standards doesn't save you. I mean, heck, being a rickety old man period isn't enough. You can marry Gunter, after all. Actually, it does. In any other game, the rickety old sensei-kun would die I think. But only Gunter is in that position. And I’m still not an expert, but he’s the closest thing to the dad character in this one other than the one that (sorta) dies offscreen and the one who is already an antagonist and therefore must die. .....why do I sound like a closet anime fan when I say “I’m still not an expert?” Quote And have to deal with Joycon drift because my pro controller can't do motion shenanigans? Fuck that. You don’t have to use motion controls. That is my plan. Edited March 17, 2021 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the entire game revolve around motion controls, though? I know they were divisive back in the day, but I'm wondering if this wouldn't take away what made the game unique and interesting.

In any other game, the rickety old sensei-kun would die I think. But only Gunter is in that position. Well, we were talking about being saved from anime blushing and marriage with protag-kun, a fate neither Shura nor Gunter are spared from. I mean, in Conquest, anyway. Gunter does "die" in Birthright because no one goes to pick him up from Plot Device Land, and in Revelations... Actually, what even is his role in Revelations? I remember reading about it and being thoroughly confused. 1 minute ago, Sooks said: And I’m still not an expert, but he’s the closest thing to the dad character in this one other than the one that (sorta) dies offscreen and the one who is already an antagonist and therefore must die. Yes, they crammed every "anime old man" cliche into Gunter. ...And they still found a way to make him marriable, which is... All sorts of wrong, but also impressive, in a way. 3 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: It was, but I don't think it will change the game all that much.

Well, I suppose I can keep an eye on the game, see if it interests me more than the others. Don't expect it to be very likely, though. The only Zelda game that ever caught my eye was Majora's Mask.

I’m glad you can respect my opinion that totally wasn’t a joke, as what are these but just video games?
