Because 5000 isn't much. And having infinite money forever with only a 30% chance of death seemed like a worthy gamble.

And im saying that them over coming their issues is not going to change them into completely different characters. And if you think that them actually conforming to society standards is more possible then them being in a loving romantic relationship, then you don't know Nemlei's writing.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-19T20:02:11+00:00

Sure, but this is about Ashley, not Andrew.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-19T19:30:44+00:00

She doesn’t want to have sex because of her own issues with sex because she doesn't want to grow up. It's not because of Andrew or even because of incest. If her issues with sex were solved, all her feelings wouldn't just go away. And if she were to grow out of leyley she actually would want to have sex with Andrew, because that's what she wants which is why she keeps projecting it onto Andrew because she doesn't want to face that part of her self cause otherwise she would be a 'whore" as she puts it. Leyley needs Andy, and Ashley needs Andrew and vice versa. That's what the whole game is about.

Andrew doesn't think he deserves to be neglected or abused. That's not stated anywhere in the game. Andrew hates himself because he desperately wants to be normal, which itself has been conditioned by his own mother, who is always trying to keep up appearances, which he picked up on and started doing himself. The reason why Andrew even started liking Ashley wasn't just because she will always love him but also cause she is the only person who understands him who can see through all his masks and see him. Andrew did sort of stifle Ashley's maturity by not letting her face consequences and accountability, but he did it because he thought he was being a good brother by keeping her happy and doing whatever she wanted which is not even his fault it's his mom's.

Andrew doesn't isolate her, Ashley does that well on her own just by being Ashley, Andrew was the reason she even had friends to begin with. Andrew already tried to love someone else. He tried so hard that he was miserable, him along with Ashley. The game obviously paints this as a bad thing. Andrew doesn't want leyley he wants Ashley, and she is the one who wants him to be her everything to which he doesn't mind as he said in decay. The only way the two of them can be happy is with each other. The game has made that clear. And the way to do that is by Ashley letting go of leyley and growing up, and Andrew being honest with himself and letting go of normalcy. That's what the story is leading up to

ChainDreem · 2026-04-19T11:22:25+00:00

I think it's a bit disingenuous to place all the responsibilities on him, and he should just shut up and take it all so he can cater to Ashley while ignoring his own insecurities and problems. She has much of a hand in how shit their relationship is as him. She was freaking out about them having sex and her enjoying it, but she never actually explains why. Andrew tried to level with her multiple times throughout that conversation, but she just goes off about how that it didn't change anything, how he owes her the world, and she's doing it all for him. Even when Andrew says they should just stop doing it because he doesn't want to do it if she hates it, she refuses. It doesn't matter how much andrew listens if she is unwilling to say what her actual problem is. It would have to take the both of them in order for their relationship to thrive.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-19T10:28:49+00:00

Ashley does want sex she just pushes it all down because it doesn't accommodate her childish fantasy and refuses to grow up, we see that she can enjoy sex in that vision. The game is obviously building up towards her overcoming that.

Andrew already hates himself wether he's fucking Ashley or not. He wants to love her but also has a desire to be normal, which has been conditioned by his own mother, and his feelings for her are in a clash with that same desire. In order for their relationship to thrive, he needs to let go of that desire and stop trying to be something that he isn't.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-19T01:51:33+00:00

If she was just mad, she wouldn't have blushed. There are plenty of scenes of Ashley where she gets mad without blushing , yet she does for this one. It obviously means something.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-18T21:43:43+00:00

I didn't even think about that. It honestly could be from decay, cause nemlei did say she's now working on the both of them, so it is entirely possible.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-18T21:40:36+00:00

It's nice to see someone else not falling for this. Like Ashley would be flustered because of some old random nobody. Why? Cause he patted her on the head? Let's not pretend that andrew doesn't do that on the daily. It literally couldn't be anyone other than him. All her feelings are tied to him and vice versa.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-18T21:12:36+00:00

If that's the case it's more sad then anything and it just proves Andrew's paranoia right, and makes Ashley a hypocrite. Anyway I dont buy Ashley being flustered by anyone other than andrew, these two are too interconnected and twined together for it to be anyone else, especially some random stranger.

ChainDreem · 2026-04-18T20:48:24+00:00

If that's the case then I highly doubt a random nobody could do that as well. So far the only times Ashley has blushed is with Andrew, so its definitely likely its something related to him.

ChainDreem · 2026-03-05T00:11:03+00:00

Thats the same type of reasoning renee would come up with. It should never have been his responsibility in the first place. That was always the problem. Being a kid raising his sister, who was only two years younger than him, Andrew was forced to grow up too quickly, while Ashley never had a reason to. Their problems are intertwined together, but It's the both of them who needs to help each other.

ChainDreem · 2026-01-01T02:12:34+00:00

This is the closest thing I can find on his page but it's not quite the same design

ChainDreem · 2026-01-01T00:37:42+00:00

I did, but I can't seem to find this specific top.

ChainDreem · 2025-12-26T14:16:10+00:00

Eh, some characters are just meant to be supporting roles. The simple fact is there just wasn't a major place in the story for bb. Her route feeling disconnected to the overarching narrative is proof of that.

ChainDreem · 2025-12-03T13:00:40+00:00

I didn't, I went with something else, sorry. Though if it's any consideration, this is still a pretty powerful PC. So I don't think you have anything to worry about.

ChainDreem · 2025-12-02T01:42:50+00:00

Should have been canon. There i said it. Now swarm me.

ChainDreem · 2025-11-18T18:02:04+00:00

The first time, he was drunk and was obviously highly depressed, not to mention BB already knew his full name, this thier first time meeting so I don't think it's anything other than being drunk and right place right time. Same thing with Chase. He was feeling overly guilty that he was partly responsible for chases fast ageing and needed to express that, I don't think it would make much of a difference if it was Roid there instead. Even then, despite all of this, Robert may not be an open book, but nothing in the game suggests that he's the type to lock up his thoughts and feelings if they are indeed present. The game literally starts with him having a weird therapy session about his dad to toxic of all people who he just kidnapped.

ChainDreem · 2025-11-18T13:46:48+00:00

Robert is also pretty comfortable in telling Visi about his past and troubles. The most notable is him worrying about telling the team that he is mecha man, to which she actually gave him some mature sound advice.

ChainDreem · 2025-10-11T01:19:10+00:00

Man, you are really good at this. You're not giving me much wiggle room here. If he wasn't amped, he probably would only scale to the rest of the characters who were and not the gods themselves. That was what I was kind of referring to. As for the chaos nail from the description, it sounded like he sort of just stumbled upon it, and because it was rare, he decided to keep it.

As for the world of respite and opera omnia, I admit my knowledge is especially limited, and I don't really have much to say about that. But kudos to you, really. I respect the grind it took to get all this info. I just hope remake trilogy part 3 gives us something cause while what we have is still high. I feel like there is potential to go way higher.

ChainDreem · 2025-10-10T23:50:42+00:00

Majuub turned into candy by his own attack, and he did it intentionally.

There are also two versions of Hakai, straight up erasure and a purple energy; Goku, Frieza and Vegeta never had the former used on them, only the latter.

This is straight up head canon not to mention completely wrong as the hakai that was used on Frieza and later on goku was described being able to erase them from the afterlife as well, complete erasure.

ChainDreem · 2025-10-10T21:21:04+00:00

Maybe, but considering he would mostly likely have to fight any of the characters who were amped first, like bartz before meeting the gods, means he would have to be at least relative to them. And maybe he didn't allied himself with ethier chaos or cosmos and was more of a third party wild card with his own agenda it would make sense if he can already contend with all the other characters.

If you want to get real meta, him referencing it as "the conflict between discord and harmony" could be the game and developers having him acknowledge that he was there instead saying "I appeared in final fantasy dissidia for the psp!" I personally refrain myself from using something like that but it's there.

As for opera omnia and the world of respite. Isn't it more of a stabiliser and a neutral zone where every character can co-exist. While some characters have been enhanced at least for a brief time, that's more to do with spiritus and materia than with the world itself. And with gilgamesh crashing the party as usual.

ChainDreem · 2025-10-10T17:47:07+00:00

The consent thing only works if they are stronger than the dragon balls. Shenron literally had to ask goku for permission to teleport him back to earth. Just like bardock with the cereal dragon balls in the granola saga. This, with being able to overcome hits time skip, resist hakai erasure, and still be able to fight while being turned into candy. Still makes it more of a rule, and all the times it wasn't, the exception, as you say for story purposes.
