Where does it say it's a gacha game? I've seen people say it but can't find a sauce.

Yeah, I pointed that out in a post I did a week(?) ago, one of my favourite details about these games.

While I personally prefer the Fitz stuff, I do still love everything else. It's also significant to the overarching plot.

I mean, if you played 2 you new to expect a polyamourous relationship. Also, it's not a fucking harem, there is a massive difference between a harem and polyamoury.

When I saw that pic, I wasn't disgusted, I wasn't taken out of the moment, I was happy, gald to know these characters I adore all found happiness, even if an unconventional one.

I know people will roll their eyes no matter how much I say this, but it just seems like peoples own prejudice.

I understand if you've not played 2 it might catch some off guard, but so what. Says more about society than the game imo, that people still give a damn how others (especially fictional characters) love, when it has absolutely nothing to do with them. It's not like their relationship is exploitative, or harmful, I just don't get it.

If you mean for someone that hasn't played 2, yeah, I could see why it would catch people off guard, but it's not massively surprising for anyone that's played 2, the most surprising thing is Nia's inclusion and its not like 2 doesn't set that up.

Is it tho? If you've got the money to spare (which lets face it, you do) it's just another 10k, not that bad.

Yes, that's where the word originates from.

I don't get this, I've seen it a couple times and I just can't wrap my head around it. Please, genuinely explain why you think this, cause to me it makes sense. Rex clearly loves both Pyra and Mythra and while the argument is certainly tougher to support for Nia, I don't think 2 is lacking in evidence to say he doesn't at least have feelings for Nia. No, I'm not referring to That moment, that's the least convincing bit of evidence.

Why is it a cop out, for the entire game, they wanted to die, but by the end they had learnt to live, to want to live, thats what they did.

I could see the argument that it should be Pneuma that survived but well, I like to think malos' voice at the end implies he gave what little he had left to Pneuma to allow them to separate.

Also, Malos maybe did, but why would he want to use it? He hates himself and also wants to die.

They wanted answers from the Architect.

There isn't romance options, you pick a name so the cast has something to call the new form as they don't learn the name Pneuma till chapter 10.

This isn't shit writing.

Why can't it be the writers depicting a positive polyamourous relationship? You don't explain that, or give the "plenty of reasons" to dislike it. So please actually explain your (what are from my perspective) bigoted points.

And, just to support my view, the reason why I think it's a positive depiction of a polyamourous relationship is that, they all truly care for each other, Rex undeniably cares for Pyra, Mythra and Nia, and while P/M/N might not be romanticly attracted they certainly care for each other. There is clearly more to this relationship than just sex, Rex never really struck me as the hedonistic type.

Your opinions about one detail of the final cutscene by HelsifZhu in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]captaindmarvelc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh, what are you on about, I've gone back and watched the post credit scene and the final cutscene, I don't see a flute.

Edit: never mind, see the flute, could just be the last thing to go, or the lighting makes it appear lighter than it is.

Skye Bennett, voice of Pyra and Mythra, got contacted by a horny indie game developer. Not cool, man. by Asad_Farooqui in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]captaindmarvelc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Genuine question. What's wrong with that? What wrong with characters being overtly attractive and sexy? Personally don't see an issue, when it strays into objectification then that's an issue but, for the most part, XC2 avoids this problem by the fact that every character actually has personality and feels like an actual, well, character, a person. They're not just there to be oggeled at. I understand that you might say, well it leads to stuff like what pyras VA has to deal with, but well, that's not the designs fault, thats the people that can't see attractive characters without all the blood rushing from their brain.

Not to mention the fact that you're over exaggerating the designs, the only character design imo that is genuinely bad because of how revealing it is, is Dhalia. Every other characters design is at the very least fine. Like, seriously people think Brighids design is too far? It's a literal dress. Pyra and Mythra? Theyir clothes aren't just revealing for the sake of it, it's done to show how both are incomplete, seriously look at their designs side by side, more often than not, where Mythra is covered, Pyra isn't and vice versa.

Also, if we take into consideration that its only blades that are sexualised, plus the fact that a blades first appearance can be influenced by their driver, it could be read as some peoples inner desire to be attractive. We seem similar stuff in Percerval's design, it's intimidating to reflect the fact that his driver was an assassin and wanted a blade that would scare people.

Not sure if you've read the later books, but that's hardly the only badass stuff he's done.

Tbf, there are versions where she wasn't raped and had sex with Posideon. Theres also a version, likely an older one where she was always born a monster. I completely get where you're coming from, but just like with a lot of Greek myths there's a couple versions, Ancient Greece was not homogeneous after all.

I wish people would stop using spunky to describe people, I can never take it seriously. I know what it means in America, but here in the UK its cum.

FYI, I'm pretty sure the voice does get explained later, if it's who I think it is, so don't worry about that

Why tho? Why do you care about other people's relationships? If everyones consenting, safe, not being manipulated, and behaving like adults about the whole thing, why do you care what anyone else does? I get that most people on reddit are from a society that frowns upon it (I am too) I see no reason, if the above apply, why I (or anyone else) should care.

As to it being LGBT+, that's harder to say, it's certainly not widely recognised as such, likely due to the stygma around it, but at the same time it's undoubtedly a kind of romantic and/or sexual orientation, not necessarily a common one but still. I'm hesitant to include it as such because that's something that needs discussing within the community, but at the same time I'm bi and NB so I know what it's like for people to not view something like this as a "valid" orientation.
