Building a better Alphinaud

[CrownySuccubus]

Wow it's almost as if the original NieR games had region locked protagonists and other issues besides graphics. Nier Replicant however has a cast of characters that accounts for diversity of thought and ideology, and isn't afraid to take risks like FFXIV. That is why it so beloved.

Thanks for agreeing with me that the aesthetics of the protagonist had little, if nothing, to do with it.

Ah yes, the "diversity of thought" dog whistle. I was wondering when you guys would bring that out again.

In this case, you're pedaling the argument that the establishment of self-governing republics isn't "diversity of thought", but somehow Garlemald turning everything into a militaristic province was? Or having ten different tyrannical monarchies was diverse in thought?

And no, I'm not going to pretend like I'm remotely against the replacement and deletion of characters like Alphinaud and G'raha Tia. If they finally leave the main cast I'll probably throw a party in one of the housing districts. They're bad characters that have negatively impacted the story and world with their presence. The lanky, less masculine character archetype can be fulfilled by literally any other character that isn't them.

Stop forcing these immortal characters and their misguided ideals down our throats.

Again, this is just your opinion. You, and anyone who agrees, is welcome to it. But it's not an objective indication of quality.
