Okay, time for a mild and unimportant confession.

I'm playing Tales of Rebirth again. That's not the confession. The confession is that I have a crush on Tytree.


??? durrrr

You know, the one I don't like. I still kinda wanna uppercut him. Seriously, if you like her bodacious body just the way it is, then you have to tell her that. Don't be all like, "aw, Hilda, you didn't try hard enough to find a place for yourself! You should really throw yourself at people who hate you more!" So now it's not so much that I wish Tytree would take off his shirt when he preaches, I just wish he would keep his big fat mouth shut in certain (many) situations. I think it's entirely possible that this game just botched up his character and only showed him saying things that I hate.

Tales of Rebirth is, on the whole, much more tolerable than I remember it being. Years later, it's actually extremely distracting. I guess I needed to play TOD2 to gain the proper appreciation.

EDIT: There may soon come Tales of Rebirth spoilers in the comments. Also, what was Tytree like when he was little? Was there anything to make Selena think he's adorable?

Translation of a part of a review of Tales of Legendia on amazon.co.jp:

"...the heroine is awful. She fits all three prerequisites: she's mean and nasty, she's self-centered, and she's totally off her rocker." He means Shirley. I felt so vindicated when I read that...and I feel vindicated when other people say they don't like Shirley (≡ω≡) So fire away, my friend.

Shirley doesn't improve over the course of the game---she becomes more jealous, even petulant. IS IT CAN BE SPOILER TIEM? :D (highlight)



I don't really have a problem with lack of practicality. Tales can be idealistic it wants, as long as the answers show sensitivity, thought, wisdom, EARTH LOGIC etc. Srsly guys, stop marketing your Martian games to Terrans. We can't make head or tail of them.

I always try to give the female characters in games the benefit of the doubt. For example, it's not Tifa's fault that she's drawn to appeal to teenage boys, and I rather like Sakura in Naruto. That said, Shirley realllly annoyed me (though I did like Chloe and Stella).

Think of it this way: Chloe is the real heroine, and Shirley is the pretender. Then it all makes sense.

I, too, try to give heroines the benefit of the doubt. I like Tifa and Sakura. Some of them bore me because they don't really have much personality (Rena Lanford in Star Ocean 2 comes to mind), and some of them do annoy the hell out of me (Rena Lanford in Star Ocean EX comes to mind).
