Alisae is the Lisa Simpson of FFXIV

And I'm tired of pretending she's not.

Lisa is even in her name.

Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?

Just think about it.

All I know is that while I have appreciated her contributions and occasional actual human reactions in the story, I've long grown tired of her and Alphinaud.

Is this what we're supposed to be mad about this week?

more like hermione granger from the first 2 movies
she even has the same british posh teenage girl voice actress

It means, the people are finished with the content. :)



Cheers

My simpson's knowledge may be a bit lacking but isnt lisa's big thing that she is hella smart? Now I wouldnt necessarily call alisaie stupid but she's not a genius either.

Nah, this is just a fizzle. I'm expecting the true salt to come from PvP as that was the central focus of the new mini-patch.

i have yet to see alisaie bust out a saxophone and start playing jazz so i cant confirm that alisaie is infact lisa from the simpsons

Hermione has more in common with Lisa Simpson than with Alisaie. In the beginning, and pretty much throughout the series, both are insufferable know-it-alls; yet, super naïve when it comes to the way the world actually spins outside of books, and it is through that where their characters receive growth and development.

Alisaie OTOH, is quick-tempered, easily emboldened, emotionally driven, and has little desire to learn academics and politics. IOW, she couldn't be any more different than Hermione. The only resemblance I can think of is that both are young girls transitioning into adults.

These gosh darn kids are all the same. Back in my day we had to walk uphill both ways to and from school. something something yells at cloud

Alphinaud has more in common with Lisa than Alisae, Alisae probably closer to like Bart reckless but smarter.

The biggest Lisa Simpson in xiv is/was Minfilia.

not sure if serious (also dont care if you're not; i'm bored at work and replying anyway) but whenever I bring her into trusts, she rushes into danger and almost gets herself killed. I genuinely love the way the devs brought her recklessness into the gameplay. That being said, perhaps it's because of that reckless attitude that she's never given me Lisa Simpson vibes. Lisa could be smug occasionally, even stubborn, but the smugness felt earned since Lisa was brilliant, and her stubborn attitude feels deserved since she's a smart person living in a universe populated by people who are stupid for comedic effect.

i cant believe they gave lisa a sword in season 42

EDIT: Also given how much the English Localization team LOVES putting Simpsons References into the game it's probably appropriate.

No, she's Alisae.

Well... Yes.

Minfilia is indeed...


The biggest.

Can someone explain this for an old fart who hasn't kept up with the Simpsons since it was actually worth watching? So, like, at least 20-ish seasons ago?

Or explain to someone who has never seen or wants to see it?

I fail to see even the slight resemblance. Could someone name at least one thing they have in common?

...she is?

The one more likely to be Lisa is Alphinaud

Alisaie would be Bart

they are both female

You mean she is one of the best characters? Yes I agree.

Only thing I can assume is that OP is comparing them both because they can both get Preachy at times? (Although that is like Lisa's main character trait in the newer seasons)

IMO Ali only got preachy a few times. She's mostly just hard headed, and loves to abuse her brother. So you know, normal sibling stuff.

ITT: OP and others describing Blue Alphinaud and swearing that it's actually Red Alphinaud.

Even then, every major character in the game gets preachy sometimes. Quite a few of the minor characters, too.

I'm frankly tired of all the Scions. They make an ending like it was done and then IMMEDIATELY get back together.

New Adventure needs NEW CHARACTERS.

I enjoy how the twins have grown and see Alisae as a little sister I wish I had.
