Hope has a major Oedipus complex going on.
Vanille is in serious repression and denial, for various plot reasons I won't go into, but are actually directly relevant, rather than just side story. They're all very flawed in their own ways, of course. None of these characters are especially likable from the getgo, but they're all quite well written, with distinct personalities and motivations behind everything they do. It's almost like it's intentionally hilariously linear, like it's just a parody of games that pretend to offer choice, when in reality there's just the straight line you have to follow anyways. The AI move selection is usually pretty solid. I feel like I'm coordinating the fight instead of micromanaging it. I like swapping between paradigms as the main focus of combat while leaving most of the move selection up to the auto-battle most of the time. It's like the characters are all in on the fact that it's just a game and none of it matters, aside from throwing the occasional temper tantrum and then returning to normal a few minutes later. Like, people are dying left and right, bullets are flying, and everyone's just blasé and happy-go-lucky about it, with none of them reacting in an emotionally realistic way.
The whole thing is written like a children's book, where they try to bludgeon you over the skull with every plot point to make sure you realize something just happened.Įverything has this weird fuzzy feeling spray-painted over serious shit going down. Hope, Snow, and Vanille are the worst, but the interactions of all the characters are nauseating. I hate the characters, just absolutely hate them.
