ASK ME ABOUT KISSING A GHOST

Inferior posted:

Cosette mewls "Sorry!" whenever she kills someone, despite being a soldier in soldier school in a war-torn country in 1937. The most anime.

She is a Medic (the game calls it engineer, but seriously, she's a Medic) for a reason.

The real difference between a normal Gallian college and Lanseal Military Academy will be aptly demonstrated in what I believe is the next animated cutscene.

Trying to equate a nuclear bomb to a living person really muddies the issue, of course.

VC1 was really bad about trying to communicate its morals and/or themes.

I still don't understand why you'd expect anything better from the Gallian Army as depicted in VC1.

Well they do turn out star-quality officer material every once in a while.

Said world-class officers are immediately sent to penal legions, of course.

So this is the part where they really, really wanted to name them Zabi, isn't it?

E: Well, they managed to outdo to world's dumbest star fort by locating themselves in a castle perched on the side of a cliff. This would have been a good defensive position about 500 years before the game's time frame. Now it's just an artillery target.

But we're the good guys, and good guys don't bombard defenceless forts like that.

Besides it's a priceless historical monument and destroying it would make the queen sad.

Even the 'normal' Valkyrian lances are pretty much useless as actual melee weapons unless you want to use the in a cavalry charge or something. Good thing their owners can shoot giant lasers from them.

So is it at all possible to defeat the named commanders that are showing up now if you grinded a ton/cheated? I assume nothing significant happens but I'm wondering if the game will even let you hurt them.

Yes you can, and you earn Medals for beating bosses earlier than you're supposed to.

I honestly wouldn't mind the anime highschool stuff half as much if the game was more tonally consistent.

I don't think it's a spoiler at this point to say that the upcoming Yuell mission is going to deal with Cosette backstory and the issue of her parents being murdered. Meanwhile she plays matchmaker for a classmate.

Marion is part of the nobility, so it stands to reason that she never had any real opportunity to interact with Darcsens until she came to Lanseal. And, well, her 2 Darcsen classmates would only serve to reinforce her prejudices initially.

Dropping the racism would probably just be part of living close to Darcsens for a while and realizing they're not all like what she imagined.
