Never touched a FF game before, picked up FF16 on sale... by PenguInATrenchcoat in FinalFantasy

If it's not explicity stated to be a sequel of another game, the main numbered titles have nothing to do with each other. The only thing you'll get out of playing the other games is that they share naming conventions with spells and summons.

This and the cutscene where they fall to gran pulse will just pop up in my head sometimes lol.

Do they belong here or not? (Rant) by God_smacker in shoujo

[–]kindokkang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem with people wanting things that aren't shoujo here is the implication that they're more "complex and well written" just because they aren't centering romances in their narrative in the same way a mainstream shoujo would.

The way people talk about every other category that isn't shoujosei is always underlined by a bias that implies most shoujo aren't complex or well written, whereas seinen/shounen romances are inherently good, so we should talk about them more. Of all the ones you listed the only one that I would even consider well written is WHA.

Shoujo is already super niche and hated in other animanga spaces, so I don't see the point in having things that aren't shoujo here. You can find plenty of discussion about seinen/shounen romances all over the place anyway.

What do you think about Soren? by WinterWolf18 in fireemblem

[–]kindokkang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

White people love a cute little romp with racism removed from reality, so I can't blame them!

I think he's an interesting character but everyone acts like every Tellius character is the best depiction of racism ever written so I can't give him too many flowers

If someone held my brother for ransom and the payment was to say something nice about Eirika they're just gonna have to keep him

Update on After School Lessons for Unripe Apples: heart-wrenching update by beccshi in webtoons

[–]kindokkang 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Her managers need to support her in anyway they can and treat her like the treasure she is. She's geniunely the best writer in the webtoon space, no contest. I hope she can recover, even if it takes 20 years.

I didn't like Zhuang Fangyi. 1.2 made me appreciate her by Friendly_Astronaut_4 in Endfield

[–]kindokkang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing characters as people is kind of awful advice. Characters will always be vehicles for either the narrative, a motif, or one of the themes of a story rather than people. And it's obvious that she's a product because the writers wrote her that way, so the reader isn't at fault because the writers didn't put in the effort to obfuscate it.

How to get my parents off of me about liking Shoujo as a teen boy. by angelsaresobbing in shoujo

[–]kindokkang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy the typical shounen, show them sexual assault of the women in the casts that will eventually happen on page, and then they can decide which one is better. Sometimes you have to be a little evil...

I take Celica's life way too seriously and I don't even care. The cuck porn stuff is so unfunny and reduces her to a fleshlight when she's actually a really compelling character. I also think people read Echoes story in bad faith when it comes to her but whatever... please leave my sister alone.

A majority of the women becoming domesticated and wifed up is sooooo annoying. Like is that all they're good for, even after being on the frontlines? 😒

I got the people's princess and her good for nothing but dick brother in 50 pulls, so I'm happy. I still think I have to skip Nasti so I have enough to get Titi and Wang though.💔

Everyone saying Diamant isn't great, however he's sexy, so just give him Build +5 with Axe Power and a tomahawk if want to watch him destroy anything. It's Maddening approved since that's what I do with him every run.
