What's with all the excitement? yes, we know you exist, you're people, etc.

you know what I'd get excited for? When people stop throwing politics, agendas and the like in things meant for entertainment and escapism and just play games.

Much less padded and much more to the point, actually (forgive me for not line-by lining). The male Miqo'te actually flames pretty hard in ways that would be rather difficult (and possibly offensive) to translate literally, so we can consider ourselves blessed that they chose not to.

And... nope, the original script used the English loan-word "couple," which, in spite of it's meanings in English, is only used for romantic couples in Japanese. They aren't a pair, or a duo, they're a couple, in the "we love each other" sense.

But trying to argue the semantics is just silly, since they wouldn't have been run out of town for being "just friends" across racial boundaries. Unless it was Gridania, I guess.

Ya know, you're sig doesn't say at all what you say it says.

I don't see why a thread needs to be made about this..... But it's nice to see some diversity in this crazy world.

I made it cause it was sooooo cute to see those two together, though, I thought BOTH of them would be good looking and not just one but whatever. I take what I can get.

These types of threads never go well....

Otherwise, it's nice seeing such random npcs that're are easily overlooked and forgotten get some attention/ story.
