Alright, not upsetting. But Ardbert is still an absolute piece of us. As is whoever our Ancient self was. The reason I say this is because I know not everyone wants to have something with him, but it adds a narrative to his feelings for us and all our sundered pieces. How did he feel about any of us he encountered? Arbert included. He sees the color of our soul, and who we are today after so many rejoinings is probably the closest he's gotten to a friend or at least someone familiar in thousands of years. Other ascians withstanding.Personally it's not upsetting in anyway, shape, or form. I simply voiced an opinion for us to be given a choice and not have it be shoved down our throats. I can be happy for those that want that kind of development for their characters past, but it shouldn't come at the expense of others that may want otherwise, especially if we're potentially getting a glimpse into our former selves past here. Let us decide how to shape it, even if it's done via minor choices of simple yes and no options. As for why Arbert's establish history gets a pass? Well a bit of his relationship to his comrades was already cemented in the lore books, so that ship had sailed. They just fleshed out more information and details on what were in those pages. Whereas with our whole self we know so little and nothing has been set in stone just yet. Also the fact that these aren't actually our WoL/D isn't lost on me, but it is still our story.
In short, it wouldn't hurt. Because it's of the past that cannot change.
Committing genocide is relatable?.........
Is a really stereotypical villain really. And not even a good one at that.
He was a good anime filler arc villain at best.
"The will of my friends has etched into my heart, and now ill transform this infinite darkness into eternal light
Unmatched in heaven and earth, one body and one soul that challenge the gods!"
It will be hard going back to Zenos but Zenos is in a position to really shake up the Garlemald arc and that could be fun. Also keep an eye on Zenos... Lahabrea might be in there somewhere and not doing very well.
But they started an international incident anyway because their ambassador threatened Doma with a "reckoning" and then attempted a false flag operation to start a war. Who cares about Garlemald accusing Doma of foul play if they are just going to attack Doma over any excuse anyway? Their peace offer was made in bad faith and it was obvious within the first few minutes so it doesn't matter what Garlemald thinks, they'll invade whenever they please, but we don't have to let their rabid ambassador run around Doma committing what is effectively terrorism.I think the issue is that even if Asahi met with an actual genuine accident, Garlemald would accuse us of foul play - and that's likely to be the entire plan from the start. It's why Asahi taunts us with the fact that of course we shouldn't trust him as far as we could throw him, but you wouldn't dare harm an ambassador, would you? And no, we won't because we know it would be a massive diplomatic blunder - and right when the Domans are hoping to get their people back safely, if I remember right.
So either we let Asahi go about his scheme and risk not-thwarting whatever he has planned, or we start an international incident and the Garleans (via Elidibus's scheming) can point their finger at us and say "look, they shot first! They killed our ambassador and ruined the peace deal we offered them!"
If I could control my WoL, I would have eliminated Asahi the moment he exposed his ruse, it was obvious the consequences would be no different then letting Asahi go.
I knew this will get moved here...
After all of the Koei games I've played I kinda wanna say it is? In any Warriors game I wasn't satisfied until an entire map was practically cleansed of all and any red dots before I fought the last boss. Mind you it would turn a mission that took 12 minutes and extend it to 20 or longer doing that, but boy was that satisfying. So relatable on a digital/gaming level. In reality? God no.
It's a too each their own thing here. I respect your opinion but I'm stepping down from this.Alright, not upsetting. But Ardbert is still an absolute piece of us. As is whoever our Ancient self was.
