Cower in fear of the unit who didn't get her PRF. Not like she needs it with that strength stat.

When you linked the other Frollo video I thought of this one.

That’s... not how you respond to that though.

Someone having to improve from that kind of behaviour or thinking can be a good thing to do in fiction, protagonists aren't all paragons of perfect virtue and seeing people actually learn from their mistakes should be encouraged imo.

I'm not saying this is the way to do it, because I literally have no context to it.

I doubt Estelle uses that rational

I mean, she's just a teenage girl being protective of her brother.

This.

She wants to act tough like a big sister

But she could have, y’know... said something actually protective/tough?

I will be astounded if that happens.

and Estelle's growth is 👌

[Codename Shrimp]

Haha now i remember a certain scene at the start of SC and Estelle not knowing how to deal with it

Spoiler

when she tought Cutielace was confessing to her.

That scene spawned so many memes

Falcom knows how to do character development, and Estelle is no exception.

Lol. That was hilarious.

[Sooks]

I mean it’s possible there’s a plot about Estelle changing for the better in that regard, I just don’t see it as very likely.

Anyway, Olivier joined! Woo!

Play Yakuza first.

My charisma is 0, I don't know how to convince people.

From Sooks reaction i know now he always lived in the city and never had to deal with village peeps or older peeps.

I think I get you there too. Japan not exactly being the most progressive on that front could certainly have an influence on that here. But hey, maybe the people hyping up the game know it's in the text.

I say this coming from a country that still made a point of trying to ban gays in my lifetime (Along with my having somewhat regrettable attitudes in a more naive part of my life but that's kinda off topic to the point I wanted to make originally?). It mightn't have been much of my life for it in a more broad sense, but marriage was a struggle that still went on until the middle of last decade and there's still a stigma for blood donation that has not been resolved and if I keep going I am going to go full tilt into tearing into the state and nobody here wants that.

[Codename Shrimp]

i am just saying

1. we wouldn't be loving Estelle so much if she stayed the same character all the time
2. the game is from 2004, not 2020.
3. I've seen more extreme reactions from people irl. 
4. Different cultures have different reaction on that topic, and i know that personally from travelling around. Not everyone grew in a city that accepts that topic normally like us, and definetly not japan in 2004.

This.

3 as well, especially from the older members of my family as an example.

{OLD} tag on the title or no, that rant just never gets old. It's so good.

Plot twist: I play both at the same time, complain I don't hve enough time for them, then I quit in frustration and play Berwick Saga again instead.

I'm still gonna spend my entire playthrough comparing her to Disgraceman, you know that, right?

[Lightcosmo]

Wait, Sooks doesnt like Estelle? Why?

 Kinda. I'd argue shitty attitudes also can emerge in urban settings, even if it tends to persist longer in rural settings (Will I just show the marriage ref breakdown by locality if I can at this rate?).

Being one of those people raised in a rural backdrop I kinda see it. But I was quite distant to the whole thing, so more than an outright antagonism you'd see pretty negative language occur unchallenged or treated as nothing major. Nobody came out in my class so it didn't get to flare up, but I could see that occuring if it had.

I will take your word for it.

That doesn’t make me disagree less, that just makes me care less. I wouldn’t expect her to say anything differently, really.

I don’t know if that makes sense, but regardless I’m choosing to believe the Estelle peeps that she was trying to be protective, because I’ve played one of these games for like eight hours.

*sigh* same.

I know, like I said above in this post I wouldn’t expect the game to- wait, did you think I was using the term Badstelle seriously? Or was the strike through not indicative of hyperbole? I might not have articulated properly.

Pfft. Comparing Estelle to Leo is a crime.

[Saint Rubenio]

3 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said:

Leo. I call him Disgraceman because he just straight up says "you're a disgrace" to his son's face because he doesn't like the way he dresses. You know, right before he hesitates to save him from brigands and Elise has to take the initiative.

I am still astounded by how utterly repulsive the guy was in that paralogue.

I'm doing it as a joke based on one screenshot Sooks shared. C'mon.

While I do live in a city now, I’ve lived in less tolerant places but raised by a lesbian couple, so that’s more so where it comes from.

I didn’t mean what I said so seriously though, I think that’s the problem.

I was exaggerating.

I don’t actually have an opinion on Estelle, really. I don’t think it’s until the other games that people really start liking her because of this development I’ve heard about. Right now she’s just eh.
