...Sara is a great character, but saying she has her poo poo together in the emotional sense is really pushing it. I also don't really recall her particularly helping Rean in that regard other than shoving huge amounts of work on him in order to distract him from his own issues, and let the people he's interacting with in said work help him work through his issues. Like sure, you can use the reasoning that Rean needs someone with their poo poo together, but Sara really doesn't fit, as she has huge issues of her own, involving both her previous career paths along with where she's from. Towa does mostly fit that criteria, but the other older individual who gets a decent amount of time with him and fits that reasoning is probably Claire.

Huh,kinda surprised at the lack of Fie love, but I guess that barely counts since it's written as a platonic relationship if you go all in on bonding.

I genuinely think that Emma makes the most sense as someone for Rean in that she's basically level-headed and down to Earth in a way that grounds him while having enough of her own weird-rear end issues that he can support her which is basically something Rean needs to do or he will literally die of failure to headpat. Plus they can share a cat-friend and from a thematic perspective they mirror Vita and Crowe. Alisa as the Canon Love Interest always feels weird to me because out of the list of people who actually seem to mesh well with Rean she seems pretty near the bottom.

Sara>Laura=Fie=Towa. Emma doesnt Rank because glasses and well, every other female character is before Alisa. Claire comes with a bunch of daddy issues since its unlikely she'll just abandon The Hulk, while Sara would take Rean away from most of his troubles and be badass Buddy But we all know the true answer is for Rean to be Platonic Life Buddies with Gaius and move to Nord and become a shepherd before Adios talks to him and makes him become Zemerian Moses. In all honesty, as fun as this nonsense was, I'd gladly trade it for a fully focused canon romance in a heartbeat.

Has this ever been posted here?  I kinda wonder if her being treated as a co-lead by covers is just inertia from initial concepts (before they decided Market Trends call for a dude with a harem as a protagonist).

But on another note, Fie's gets slightly less non-platonic near the end. Though Rean/Alisa is pretty great.

I don't really agree with that. Of the girls, Alisa often seems to be spending the largest amount of time trying to figure out Rean's way of thinking. She herself says so during her final bonding event in CS2.

Sara voted most likely to drag Rean to the bar and force some drinks down his throat so the dude can vent. No but seriously: "You're experienced. Reliable. Always ahead of us, just out of reach, but guiding us forward... You're strict sometimes, but you're always compassionate, and you bury your weaknesses deep down to be someone we can rely on. And somewhere along the way, I started to hope that one day, I'll finally be able to catch up to you." That's how Rean describes Sara in their final bonding event, and I'd bet that's how many of his classmates would describe their relationship to Rean, which is why I think that relationship works: They can rean on each other. Towa also works, but I think Claire's Osborne Connection makes that whole situation way too awkward for the both of them.

Aurelia is the chick who was completely indifferent to the political aspects of Cayenne's insurgery and picked a side purely because Zechs Vander was on the other. I'm not sure responsible is a word that really applies to her.

Looking at this I'm left wondering one thing. Who decided to go to the Reeve's school first, Rean or Aurelia? If it's been said I don't recall it.

She's very responsible about murder Wrt Reeve's school, it wasn't explicitly stated iirc, but the implication seems to be that Aurelia was forced to join while Rean willingly went for it to avoid getting dragged into politics, so it's quite possible that Rean picked first.

The latest character bio translations seem to indicate that for Aurelia, it's unknown at this time why she chose to become the principal, which is why they sent a presumed Iron Blood to keep an eye on her. Fie is capital G Great. I like all of the girl characters to varying degrees, with Laura/Fie/Sara probably my fave trio. Some of Emma's story I found a bit irritating but whatever, by the end of CS2 I'm over it. On the hand the guys are...well Jusis and Rean are great, and Machias has his moments. But Elliot and especially Gaius are super boring.

To be fair the whole point of Elliot is that he's normal, the problem is that you have to wait until his hometown to get some insight into his character besides "he kinda likes music" unless you waste bonding points on him that could go towards your super cool teacher, tiny senpai, and the chill tiny ninja girl. I like him well enough, his whole deal about (spoilers I guess? There are probably some people who are waiting for the PC port and read the thread for other Falcom poo poo) being essentially forced to go to Thors as a halfassed compromise because it was the only thing closes to what he really wanted feels like a very real thing that could happen to anyone, which is kinda the point I like all these dumb kids I guess!

Gideon's artifact is put together again and Elliot gets his grubby hands all over it and somehow this brings him into some kind of relevance.

Well there is a native Vita version but they've stuck with the original ones for all the TiTS games for whatever reason I've forgotten. That's getting to be an increasingly shaky proposition too though.

I wonder if it would be easier to just license/create a self-contained version of ppsspp that only runs PSP Zero/Ao than get Falcom to create a PC port of Ao from scratch.

Sakurazuka posted:Well there is a native Vita version but they've stuck with the original ones for all the TiTS games for whatever reason I've forgotten. That's getting to be an increasingly shaky proposition too though. The "whatever reason" was the fact that the Evo versions of the Sky games weren't made by Falcom, but by Kadowaka and Chara-Ani. In addition to the difficulties of brokering a business agreement with two more parties involved (who may not even be interested in an international business deal), having to split the profits across 4 rather than 2 parties would sink, rather than boost profitability. And even if they somehow managed a deal, there'd still be a high chance that they wouldn't be allowed to use the voice track, forcing XSeed to finance a dub much larger than Cold Steel's or leave out the voices altogether, leaving western buyers with games that had less expressive dialogue portraits, a soundtrack of very varying quality and more unbalanced gameplay. Compared to that, the retweaked PC versions are much better options. Nate RFB posted:I wonder if it would be easier to just license/create a self-contained version of ppsspp that only runs PSP Zero/Ao than get Falcom to create a PC port of Ao from scratch. Assuming they'd be allowed to use the Joyoland versions, I don't think it is. All Falcom did for the PC version of Zero was strip the DRM and re-import the Japanese script, neither of which are massive undertakings.

If you mean the Evo versions then I believe they're not actually developed by Falcom, plus they have voice acting and stuff which presumably makes it all a bit of a mess with getting a hold of the rights rather than just being able to go through Falcom as usual. Also from what I've heard they're not actually that great - not balanced as well as the original games, new character portraits which aren't as good, remade versions of all the music tracks which are mostly worse than before and so on. It's not like I've played them though, this is all just hearsay.

I challenge the guy that said Gaius is boring to a life and death duel. Gaius is by far the best male character in the series. Expect lots of him in CS3 since he never got a plotline like the rest of the class and ~Backstory~. Dude is chill, and even more so than Rean kept the class together as the big brother that never lost his cool. And if he got close it was the most tense moments of the game. Brb going through my 9000 screenshots of the games again.

What did you think all of the Nord content was for if it wasn't meant to be the "Gaius Backstory"? With Falcom shifting the focus to the West side of the Empire for CS3 I can't see them wanting to subject players to that experience again.
