Minfilia Warde

[ksuyen]

Shall we talk about this?

[Alucard135]

Can we get her killed with the trust system?

[miraidensetsu]

The return of the "return to walking sands so I can speak to you something I could at linkpearl"-type missions.

Looking foward for it.

[ksuyen]

Like why / how she is still alive? And in this childlike form? Are you excited she returns, etc.

already talking about in lore section...

As i said back in that post...

My guess, from seeing this type of plot before from old mangas I use to read that already ended, it is a "Yes and No" answer.

Yes, this is Minfilia returning from the impossible and now a child.

BUT!

No, this will not be the same Minfilia personality wise because she may have lost her memory about her old life as 2.0 Minfilia and thus the WoL basically "raise" her to become a new character that grows up to have a different personality from the "old" Minfilia.

I say this plot maybe one of those "Good vs Evil of Light" storylines.

Child Minfilia may represents the Good aspect of Light that is willing to give other people a chance and takes into consideration not everything related to Darkness is Evil but then we have these "Agents" of Light that is seeking to kill Minfilia and "clense" the world of Darkness.

I consider this "Agents of Light" faction to be the Evil of Light, or simply the extremists faction, which represents the extreme part of those who follow the Light such as absolute belief all aspect of Darkness is Evil and only way to bring "true" peace is the complete destruction of Darkness. Such as those stories where Humans and/or Angels treat all Demons/beast-kin/etc as Evil and seek to clense them from the world but then the story shows Demons are no different from Humans other than being different race and thus have both good and evil aspects to them just the same as anything else.

Killing Child Minfilia maybe similar to removing all aspect of doubts in a "person", being the Light, and leaving the only part of Light left being the Evil aspect of Light that does whatever it takes to destory Darkness forever even if it means "cleansing" the world of semi-innocent lives to leave only the most pure aspect of Light.

She's an eye candy. Hopefully she won't be a brain-killer though. But she went too far with photoshoping her photo...yup, yup...

Seriously though, Minfillia was really an "eye candy" from the get-go in 2.0. She had the misfortune of the developers misusing her though. With no frickin' idea of how to develop MMO's over the years, they made all the worst mistakes they could with her character development, making her early incarnation a really, really irksome being.

But I hope that they have learned more about what to do and what not to do with MMO characters by now. I expect her to actually be more "mature" and less of a "leech" towards the main character...even though she'll be the damsel in distress. But hey, 'damsel in distress' can be very well done. Technically the runt from Dark Knights story was that, yet she was quite a decent secondary character.

I hope Thancred is going to be the father figure she never had that can teach her to respect other people's time and use her goshdarn linkpearl the way it's supposed to be used.

Don't worry, they'll kill her off again...then we'll find out later she faked the entire thing.
