Tales from the Storm Discussion

[Cilia]

It was nice to see the start of the feud between Magnai and Sadu. Still, I can't help but wish there had been a little more substance - just a little - to the whole series. Now I'm asking "4.1 when?" since I've run out of things to do but level alt classes and grind tomestone gear. "Raid" group disbanded because we couldn't beat Susano'o, and I only joined as a favor to my brother.

... I do think that they need to do more to develop Sadu's side of the equation, if they're really looking to set these two up. Right now, the "drama" is Magnai overcoming his built-up notions and recognizing that Sadu is his Moon - but what if he does? So far, nothing about Sadu's portrayal indicates that she wants anything to do with Magnai romantically, and sees him only as a foe (albeit, possibly a worthy foe). This isn't Tsundere posturing, as far as I can tell - she seriously can't stand the guy (and it's not hard to see why).

The biggest problem I have with the Magnai / Sadu ship is that she has shown zero interest in romance. While there is some back and forth between them, only Magnai has shown a desire to find love - Sadu doesn't seem to care, and they both need to get over their pride.

If one is going to cast Sadu as a tsundere, I'd say she's going to go the classic tsundere route - starts out fiery and defiant, but eventually cools into her role as Magnai's love interest instead of flip-flopping between "fiery" and "lovestruck" like more contemporary tsunderes. That said they'll need to do it quick, since they "only" have 4.1 - 4.x (4.55) to do it.

It's going to feel rushed if they did that, especially if there are other plot points to handle rather than spending all our time in the Azim Steppes stalking Magnai and Sadu. (Which, sadly, will probably not be as entertaining as the Ysayle And Estinien Show.)

At the most, they'll grudgingly admit that the other is remotely possibly not the worst thing ever.
