I am 25 years old and have autism. And I want to be a story writer someday. Let’s get along.
In any other game or show, Kanji and Naoto would set sail as a ship. But noooo!
Having the (almost) entirety of Elliot, I need to give my kudos to @nvansistine.bsky.social for her incredible performance as Mao. She has become my favorite character in the game.
I love Pokémon Black and White, and N is one of my favorite characters ever.
A fair reminder to please watch Yugioh subbed. This is a really good line from Judai and valuable lesson he is teaching Yubel.
It’s been a while since I have been here, I have been working on a lot of things as of late, but I have been working on ranking as many of the Xenoblade characters in the franchise as possible. Up to over 200 at maximum. Look forward to it, but don’t expect KOS-MOS or T-Elos or anything.
We need to start with the fact that when Will and Eupha met for the first time, Eupha sensed Will’s presence and talked in his mind. It’s a minor plot that isn’t addressed until lategame. But it is the one of the key players behind the correlation of their relationship.
As sort of the Blueprint for one of my points for my Will character analysis, one of the things I’m looking at is Eupha. More accurately, what makes Will and Eupha’s relationship work? Especially in a game that doesn’t use romance the way the Persona games do. 🧵
Well, would you look at that? What exactly did I do to deserve this? IDK.
Since time immemorial; when the two legendary Pokémon of the Land and Sea collide in battle; a Emerald Legend descends from the heavens to deliver us from destruction. The Draconic Messiah: Rayquaza.
1. Basilio, my goat. If anyone made the Virga Island arc my favorite arc in the game, it’s him. He awakens one of the strongest Archetypes in the entire game. He has an incredible dynamic with his brother Fidelio. And above all, he has the best awakening in the game. Needless to say, he earned it.
2. Eupha, Eupha, Eupha. Let’s see… having a meaningful story about valuing life? Check. Having a sweet dynamic with Will? Check. Having one of my favorite Archetype linages? Check. Being an absolute sweetheart? Check. Having the strongest story symbolism, check and check. I love Eupha!
3. By the time I was done playing with this game, Will became (as of now) my favorite JRPG protagonist from Atlus of all time. The kind hero that embodies hope and being the very core of this game’s themes, while also being voiced snark from time to time, he is what I want to see more in Altus.
4. For every protagonist, there needs to be an antagonist. Louis Guiabern is here to provide as the antithesis to the world our heroes are standing against. The perfect foil to our band of heroes in every possible way.
5. Neck and neck with Heismay is Leon Strohl da Haliaetus. In a world with hatred, racism and injustice, Strohl is the man that embodies the world our heroes are fighting for. In any other game, he would be the protagonist, but he is fine with being the ride or die ally Will needs.
6. Between Number 5 and 6, Heismay had me hooked the very moment he was introduced. Having one of the hardest hitting backstories, down to his voice actors adding to his cool factor as a literal Batman, he is a personal favorite of mine even to this very day.
7. Hulkenberg, one of my queens, with a cool Archetype, a lovely design, and great balance of seriousness and charm, she embodies one of the greatest qualities of this cast with the story. A balance of serious stakes with whimsy.
8. Gallica, the fairy companion, is someone I didn’t think I would end up liking as much as I did. Despite not being a fighter, actually, maybe it’s because of that fact, her character development is pretty meaningful to the game’s themes. I also loved her dynamic with Will.
9. Following Fidelio, we have his idol Lady Junah. I only have her low because I loved the rest of the cast more. But she definitely has some of the most depth of the cast when it comes to her relationship with magic and her sister Rella.
10. Fidelio. For a character that isn’t playable or even a follower, I have to give to Atlus for making a character like Fidelio have such an impact on the cast and the story. His story is the living proof of how flawed Louis’s world is.
Top 10 Metaphor: Refantazio characters! This is one of my favorite casts in video gaming history! So allow me to express my love for this cast with a ranking of my own.
I always wanted an Veyle and Alear duo alt. I couldn’t be any happier for the both of them. Having been victims of abuse for so long, but they finally have each other and now. And it’s thanks to Alear showing her kindness. That’s something far more precious than romance.
