HorribleSubs are horrible, indeed. I am switching to DeadFish for this shoe.
Why is 導師 rendered in English as shepherd
Why is the legendary figure called 導師, which my dictionary says is "officiating monk"
>>144311008
Lamb of God, nigga, read a book
>>144310807
>>144311008
They're using the official English localisations from the game is why.
Tenzoku (heavenly being) is Seraph
Izuchi becomes Elysia
Doushi (something to do with monks) becomes Shepherd
>>144310675
Rose should be a guy and Mikleo should be a girl
>>144311429
Rose doesn't need to be a guy to be alpha. Just like Mikleo doesn't need to a girl to be waifu.
>>144311429
You know Mikleo and Sorey's story would make for a good love story.
>>144312380
Gotta admit though female Mikleo would be delicious.
>>144311008
>>144311416
The worst one is "kamui" -> "armatization". Kamui is a lot easier to remember.
>>144311416
>>144311008
Doushi to shepard isn't that bad considering that a shepard is a type of traveling monk.
>>144312393
>Implying Mikleo and Sorey's story isn't a love story already
This will be the next owari no seraph
>>144312682
I mean a full on love story, where they actually fully explore their relationship not just hinting at it.
>>144312551
Kamui doesn't mean anything in English though, and translating it directly would read even sillier than armatization.
>>144310338
That's because they're both full homo.
>>144311429
>wanting to ruin pure boy's love by forcing a disgusting female into it
No.
>>144312393
>implying
It's literally the optimistic yet impulsive boy with level-headed yet tsundere childhood that you see all in the animes.
>>144312476
Girls are hideous, anon. Mikleo is already cuter than any girl could ever be in their wildest dreams.
>>144312874
Anon you have issues.
>>144312850
see>>144312733
Mikleo and Sorey according to the guidebooks have a lot of baggage about their relationship, but the story never explores it.
>>144313039
That anon has an incurable condition called good taste.
>>144313137
I'm not saying that Mikleo isn't attractive, I'm just saying that anon has issues.
>>144312874
This. r63 a shit.
>>144313181
Since when is being right an issue?
>>144313252
When you're projecting your issues.
Animeonlyfag here. Are you sure SoreyxMikleo is a thing? Mikleo seemed supportive of Sorey getting together with Alisha in this episide.
Man why the hell does /a/ think fujoshis are less annoying than yurifags? Look at this thread, it's pure cancer
>>144313417
>he doesn't know.
>>144313441
I agree, but you clearly haven't seen the waifufag wars in Tales thread because they are near equivalent in cancer.
>>144313417
Play the game.
>>144313441
>why are people talking about gay things in a thread for a gay anime?
The only cancer here is people like you. Go back to your waifu threads.
>>144313417
It's confirmed in the game. The anime seems faithful so far, but as with any adaptation there's a chance everything will go to shit.
Real friends aren't insecure about being lovey touchy.
But personally I'm just here for the Alisha suffering.
>>144313441
The game had a blatant homo end where the only two viable heroine options died, it's acceptable.
Yurifags on the other hand would meaninglessly ship and get mad if the ship doesn't come true.
>>144313417
Well I don't know if they story is going to explore this, they do it more in the manga but, Mikleo is more supportive of Sorey hanging out with ANY human, this is because Mikleo believes that he's not good enough to be a "true companion" to Sorey because he's not human and therefore lacking. He has a bit of a complex about that, and is kind of jealous of all the humans in the party because of it.
>>144313441
Because they generally stick to threads about anime that are geared towards them. Yuri and Waifushitters butt their heads into other people's threads and complain or make an attempt to be obnoxious.Kind of like what you're doing right now.
>>144311416
Tenzoku makes perfect sense as Seraphs because Seraphs and fiery serpents were related.
>>144313039
The manga does though, apparently. I hope ufotable manages to delve a bit into it but I'm still not sure how they're gonna handle this in general.
>>144313417
No anon it's only because she's a human. He's a human.
Seraphs can't breed with humans.
>>144313894
What's this poll for.
>>144313914
That's not it.
>>144313914
But Soreybecomes a seraph in the end
>>144313894
>1 point out of 5
Ufotable is finished.
>>144314032
Thanks anon you spoiled the ending.
>>144313894
Noice last week was at 77% wasn't it?
>>144313844
I saw a bit of it too, they put more of an emphasis on the break up, make up scenario so that you see just how it effects them. They have time to explore the relationship especially since there's not much to Zestiria's story in the first place.

I was disappointed by her lack of pained faces this episode, I know there's just going to be less and less from here on out.
>>144314158
Only if this is still a straight adaptation.
Sorey could become a jar of mayonaise at the end now.
>>144314299
>less and less from now on.
Then it comes back with a vengeanceand a spear in the gut.
>>144314341
Even if they change a lot of stuff in the journey, I don't think they would change Sorey's fate at the end.
Threadly reminder that Goma is plural for Gomum.
>>144314341
>Implying it won't happen.The only difference I imagine is if Maotelus is Artorius or not. If he is then hopefully some other guy replaces him since he likely fucked up the world.

>>144314386
I have faith Ufotable will deliver it well.
>>144314417
>>144314468
Yeah, I personally don't believe they'll change the ending, just tweak the journey. However, I am wondering why they didn't get Sorey to catch Mikleo if the epilogue is still intact.

It's a word from Ainu mythology. It doesn't have to mean anything in English, the way most words from most mythologies don't mean anything in English.

>>144314677
I know what the word means. It also has a specific and highly literal different meaning in the game. A proper localization does not leave foreign gibberish in the script if the audience is intended not to view it as foreign gibberish.
>>144313039
What kind of baggage?
>>144314750
>>144314979
Hewants to be a big buff bara sticking his 12 inch dick in Sorey's butt but Sorey won't let him.
>>144314975
Because giving names that have no literal and descriptive meanings is is DIFFICULT AND HARD for little American's brains.
>>144315117
What are you talking about? It has a descriptive name in both languages.
We already know Tales like made up words. Like Fonons.
Armatization/Kamui is just a fancy name for super saiyan fusion anyways.
>>144315208
The word Kamui has a completely different meaning in ToZ's world than the real world. Learning a new word isn't hard for japanese audiences, but apparently it's too difficult for americans.
>>144315270
Still not sure what you're trying to say. It looks like you're just hunting for something to bitch about.

>>144315530
If only the game/anime could be translated this beautifully.
>>144315657
They can't.
>>144315615
Well obviously but it was changed to fit the game about sound and song.
>>144315741
explain me this
>>144315458
>>144315530
Literally soulmates.
Thanks.
>>144315744
Phonons are related to sound and vibration, in fact that's literally what the word means in greek.
>>144310253
It's confirmed that Sorey is gay. Play the game and you will see.
>>144315920
He switches sides to cover Sorey's blind spot.
>>144315920
>>144315920
Mikleo ususally stands on Sorey's left side to make up for Sorey's natural weakness, but when Sorey loses his eye sight in his right eye, Mikleo without saying a word notices and switches to that side to make up for his lost eye sight, then once he gets it back Mikleo switches sides again.

>>144315530
>If I was the same race as you,I could understand you
Did he hate him from the beginning?
>>144315948
And it was changed to Fonon because Tales like changing words to fit their setting.
Like they had the months named after the embodiments of the elements in Abyss and have like 700+ days a year.
>>144316049
What natural weakness?
>>144315713
That's a part of the reason why I'm upset that the game was lacking if you read the interviews there is a lot to Sorey and Mikleo's relationship but very little of it translated to the game.
>>144316079
No just the opposite
>If I could share your sadness with you or disappear your sufferings…actually,If I was the same race as you,I could understand you and stand by you closer.
Mikleo has always loved Sorey and just wants to be closer to him, but thinks that he can't because they're from a different race.
>>144316184
Sorey being left handed, his right side isn't guarded. So Mikleo originally covers his right, but when his left eye goes blind, he goes to his left instead.
>>144316184
Sorey is right handed, so he tends to have openings on his left side.
>>144316271
Oh I see, thanks anon
>>144316222
I think even the game itself focused on Sorey/Mikleo's relation moreso than most others, even that (as well as Sorey and Mikleo as individuals) were shafted alongside everyone else. When you think about it, it's not that their relationship is 'developed' - rather it's stagnant entirely after they 'make up' in Ladylake. But rather, there was more care and focus towards it than others. Even then, I wouldn't say Zestiria was 'about' their relationship because there were many things that could've been done with them.
You can tell someone fucked up with Zestiria's script. There's something off about it even when you consider Tales of's standards.

Is this dude and the other guy with the white hair and green tips brothers?
>>144310253
Is this yaoi?
I tried playing the game but on a technical level it felt like I was emulating a PSP game, the combat system is an awful hybrid between real time action and traditional RPG and the story is presented mostly through text boxes or crude in-game cinematics. Interestingly the best parts were the animated movies. Is this what weeb games have to offer? I see no reason to waste 40+ hours when, going with what we've seen so far, the anime is such a vastly superior experience. Finding Alisha in the game consisted on running through some copy-pasted corridors whacking spiders with a stick, it was embarrassing.
>>144316677
They're just the same element, though apparently Persona-kun was some kind of mentor in the past.
>>144316677
Nah they're just buddies. They belonged to the same "tribe" though.
>>144316704
Obviously.
>>144316463
It did, but even that wasn't much. The only real time it focused on them was during the break up/make up scenario and then after their shared past was revealed during Camlann. But as we see there's a lot more to their relationship than just that, both as individuals and as a pair. They got some level of care but it wasn't much, it's just like how Alisha was really the only character to have a character arc in the game proper, but it ultimately didn't add up to much. So can really see the areas where the game could have improved and their relationship is really one of them.
It seemed more like the story was more focused on getting to it's destination rather than have us experience the journey there. Ultimately Sorey and Mikleo's relationship was a part of that destination.
The Yaoi isn't a real thing, but boy this game sure gave shippers plenty to work with.
It has plagued the threads for the entire duration it has been around.
>>144316677
No the long haired dude, was the teacher of the short haired dude.
>>144316704
It's a story of true love. You wouldn't say no to true love because of something as irrelevant as gender, right anon?
>>144316049
I played the game but I never knew Sorey lost part of his eye sight at one point. When does it happen?
>>144316773
Dude the battles are awesome. What kind of shitty games do you play? Last of us?
Sorey and Mikleo look like they are going on a date in this year's tales festival image.

>>144317087
When you're in Marlind with Alisha in the party and the group got attacked by that plant monster. That's the reason why Mikleo gets injured. There's a even a skit on it that you can unlock in the inn. In fact it's the reason why Alisha leaves.

>>144317228
Didn't see shit in the game other then a overly close relationship.
Maybe the anime will change things up but who knows.
>>144310445
>>144312380
>>144317372
Just like the other hundreds of implied romances in the Tales of series. They never outright say they love each other, even the most obvious ones just hug at best.
>>144316677
He was his sensei way back when.
>>144317087
Around the time before Alisha leaves but it's only mentioned in one scene and a skit so it's missable.
>>144316925
Yeah, definitely. Their relationship suffers from the same 'nobody develops' thing that plagues Zestiria as a whole. If Sorey and Mikleo can't develop as individuals, then their relationship won't be changed much either.
I'm not putting any hope that the anime will do much to it, but delving a bit more would be nice since they're clearly trying to show them off as the poster child of Zestiria.
>>144317281
Indeed I remember. It looked more like pointless drama than anything so I forgot about it quickly.
>>144317146

>>144317473
Much more focus on Alicia this time around, at the very least I hope they flesh out the reason for cutting her or just straight up throw her into the party.
I don't know if they'd be up for reminding the fans of the shitshow they caused the first time before a new game.
>>144317571
Believe it or not, Lailah isn't that popular even if she is very much liked.
This Tales FES poster only shows characters of the vas that were there. It's not representative of popularity.
Gramps Zenrus is thunder.
Dragon God Maotelus is light.
>>144313441
All of /a/ thinks fujoshits are cancerous.
Just look at OP. She types like a middle schooler.
>>144313515
Back to your tumblr, cancer.
>>144317473
Well they're treating Mikleo as though he's the heroine of Zestiria, which I think is because he's a character that genuinely safe for them to use since he's generally liked by the fans so they use him in the place of the heroine, and he was also important to the central story and his relationship with Sorey.
As everyone has pointed out in previous threads the main problem with Zestiria comes from it's setting and usage of malevolence which means that other characters can't ever truly doubt themselves. Plus Sorey and Mikleo's relationshp is partially fueled by doubts and insecurity, and in order to develop it they'd need to have Sorey and Mikleo acknowledge that doubt and insecurity, but the setting makes it so that if they do they'll become hellions. Which in hindsight may be one of the reasons for the popularity of the Tainted AU.
>>144317687
I know I was just pointing out that what other anon said wasn't necessarily true.
The anime would be a lot better without that Sorry faggot.
>>144318012
Not exactly the case. It is possible to confront those issues. You just can't let it consume you, which is how most people become Hellions.
Even kittybeard took years of suffering and failed suicides to get the emotion needed to become Furry Satan
>>144318012
So far I'd say Alicia is being treated as the heroine with that whole extra ep and focus she has been getting.
>>144318097
The faggots are what make this anime good.
>>144318296
No she even got her own dlc with more planned where she would have been the protagonist of had the backlash not happened.
She was still not considered the heroine.
>>144318184
It depends on the person, for one character all it took was them getting bullied to turn her into a hellion. The game is really arbitrary on how it works.
>>144318296
Well from a narrative perspective Alisha's story despite the fact that it is divorced from Sorey's story is actually also important to plot of Zestiria, as she needs to succeed in order for you to reach your destination. Which is probably why she's the only character who kept her character arc. But despite all of that she's still not considered the heroine.
>>144318097
>sorry faggot
>sorey faggot
Lailah would be amused.
>>144318012
Yeah, I too believe they are using the Sorey/Mikleo duo not just for the fujobucks but because Mikleo is a 'safe heroine' placement that won't piss people off because it's reasonable enough for him to be there.
It's also the reason they are pairing Alisha off with Rose and will likely tie her story to hers. It's the safest route possible. Another reason why I think they might both be Squires at the same time.
>>144318296
I think it's obvious Alisha will have a better role, but heroine status is still far away. If Alisha was meant to be the heroine of this adaptation, she'd get the entire ED to herself, fight alongside Sorey in the OP, etc. When an anime wants to push a heroine, they do it hard.
But they're playing safe by equating Alisha to Rose instead of having more of a role than her.
>>144318333
>She was still not considered the heroine.
I think anon is talking about her role in the anime. Think about it. If you go in blind, without previous knowledge of the game, you would think she's the heroine. Up until now, including this episode, she's had that role.
>>144318333
Was talking about the anime which very clearly has her in a more lead roll at the current time.
Don't forget your on /a/ not /v/ and that this is not going to be a perfect adaption.
>>144318634
Rethinking what i asked for I'd be more then fine if Alisha still left but the anime realized it wasn't as bound by game-play so they could show more of the politics at play.
>>144318333
>No she even got her own dlc with more planned where she would have been the protagonist of had the backlash not happened.
This is where I hope the anime finally sees that story's fruition.
>>144313441
>fujoshis are less annoying
HAHAHAHA
>>144318781
They should integrate that content to the journey proper instead of making it an afterthought like the game did.
>>144318776
Now that all her friends in the palace are dead, Alisha wouldn't have any interesting interactions if she stayed there. The only way to save her character is to keep her in the party.
>>144318776
I wouldn't mind that either. Even Alisha said this episode that while she'd LIKE to go to the ruins, she is unable to because she has duty to fighting against the calamity for her country.
It would be fine with me if she decides to leave without all the 'she gave Sorey aids!!' bullshit that made it so retarded in the first place.
Alisha being apart of the party is only beneficial from a gameplay perspective. I don't give a shit now that I can't physically play her.
She can still maintain relevancy and screentime in other ways.
2 episodes so far and alisha is lame even her suffering are not that good.Ufotable, why?
>>144318634
Also putting Mikleo in the heroine position also might count as a bit of an inside joke, since Nips often call him a woman. He's really a character that they have very little drama for.
Pairing off Rose and Alisha is not only safe but it also makes sense, since characterization wise Rose is more of a natural foil to Alisha than she ever was to Sorey anyway. In that sense they're also using Alisha to tone down Rose's character without letting Rose overpower her. Since that was one of the biggest criticisms that they received.
Mason dying was retconned? That means my Sorey Edna OTP has a chance now.

Yeah by being in the party I kinda just ment taking a more active roll since not being in the party in the game ment so much less screentime for any relevant action/ character interaction.
However they have fucking ufotable doing this so I'd like to see as much spearfighting as I can get from this.
>>144319193
>Pairing off Rose and Alisha is not only safe but it also makes sense, since characterization wise Rose is more of a natural foil to Alisha than she ever was to Sorey anyway. In that sense they're also using Alisha to tone down Rose's character without letting Rose overpower her. Since that was one of the biggest criticisms that they received.
I think this would be the best direction to take with Alisha's character (and Rose's). They could develop both characters that way.
>>144313894
Is this good or bad?
>>144316049
>you will never have a husbandaifu as perfect as Mikleo
I want this suffering to end.
>>144310338
Speaking from experience?
>>144319496
Yeah especially since their morals and stories were already connected to one another. Rose being an assassin who works to bring about peace through murder and Alisha who uses diplomacy to achieve the same ends, also their personalities Rose is emotionally stronger and more sure of herself, which Alisha isn't or rather she seemed to lose confidence in herself over the course of the story, only to regain it and achieve her goals, and everything ends up alright in the end. Having the two of them together can hopefully make us reach that goal much faster.
It also stops the writers from trying to force Rose to be Sorey's foil, which just had the effect of making her look like a sociopath, and made her too much like a Mary Sue.
I'm only here for Edna in all honesty. I never really cared about Rose or Alicia.
>>144320129
It also doesn't work because Sorey is perfectly okay with a bit of murder if there's a good reason for it. She doesn't tell him anything he doesn't already know, but she does occasionally get in the way of the quest with her personal drama. Alisha being around would at least provide a proper opposition.
>>144310445
She carried this game on her back. Best girl for sure.
>>144320018
Yeah. I've been on the left of someone else quite a few times in my life.
>>144319902
The solution is to become somebody else's perfect husbandaifu.
>>144321344
She is the true protagonist of the game.
>>144321344
>>144321516
Why is Baba shitposting on /a/ again?
>>144318458
It's because people are different and some handle their emotions better than others or are complete sociopaths like Symonne.
>>144319166
>2 episodes so far and alisha is lame even her suffering are not that good.Ufotable, why?
Because it's an adaptation of a terrible game. Because there is no actual named writer attached to this project. Instead script/writer credit is assigned to UFOTable, which is where alarm bells should start going off.
>>144321333
I think on top of that Sorey also didn't need a foil, he needed a human friend. He needed another factor to humanize him besides his relationship with Mikleo.
>>144321570
It's still gets in the way of development since it also stops people from other coming that state and becoming stronger.
>>144321723
*overcoming.
>>144321590
>muh named writer
>implying that makes a show good
Overrated shit
>>144321590
Wait, is this ep 2 or 3?
>>144321590
Ufotable worked on the game too, so this could be a great or very awful thing.
>>144321590
>Instead script/writer credit is assigned to UFOTable
Someone is hiding behind that.
>>144321590
More like Alisha is a boring character who lacks any type of nuance. You just can't do anything great with her if you want respect the original product and her own nature.
>>144321861
Only for the anime cutscenes.
>>144321854
episode 2
>>144321917
Atleast the anime's portraying Alisha as genuinely mature, dutiful and emotionally strong than a friendless loser who is bullied by the entire cast into obscurity.
Still doesn't change that she's fundamentally boring though, but maybe it's just because all the controversy involving her made me nonchalant to her existence.
>>144321723
Right. A foil is pointless when the journey isn't really about upending his beliefs anyway. His original position was the right one, and they just needed to work out how to get the job done.
Rose, on the other hand, would benefit greatly from someone smacking her beliefs around.
>>144322023
Fucking horriblesubs changing the order without notice.
>>144310253
>5 houses in the village
Jesus Christ I know its a video game adaptation but did they have to be so true to the game.
>>144322095
Exactly, Sorey didn't really have a personal philosophy he was upholding but rather just a dream. Sorey's reluctance to kill isn't wrong, it's a normal human reaction, which why the group sans Mikleo look like a bunch of sociopaths when they berate him for the reaction that any normal person would have. Sorey wasn't being challenged because there was nothing to challenge.
But challenge is what Rose needs, she needs someone to challenge her views and get her to think, but that someone could never be Sorey. Rose just needed to be a friend.
>more game music in the anime
I like.
So does anyone know how Baba feels that his project turned into a massive fujoshifest?
>>144322359
Atleast they gave Mikleo an actual home this time around.
>>144322095
>Rose, on the other hand, would benefit greatly from someone smacking her beliefs around.
In what way? Are you going to say that genuinely evil and exploitative people and unpurifiable hellions shouldn't be killed?
>>144322978
Baba was the one who pushed the fujoshit in the first place but he did it for preserving his waifu's purity. The DLC wasn't pandering to the yurifags, it was planned to shut up the Alishafags by showing their waifu admitting Rose is awesome but yurifags have shipped with less material. I don't know how Baba truly feel but my personal interpretation is that he only cared about Zestiria as a mean to fuck Komatsu
>>144322978
>turned into a massive fujoshifest
>turned into
Baba was the one who made Mikleo Sorey's waifu in the first place. In the interviews during the release period of the game, Baba was the one to call him Sorey's 'one and only'. He's a fudanshi, he probably approved this.
>>144323072
>being this edgy
Anon believing that you and you alone should be judge, jury, and executioner isn't something that a sane person does.
>>144323008
I thought Mikleo lived with gramps
>>144323176
>Baba was the one who pushed the fujoshit in the first place but he did it for preserving his waifu's purity
No he didn't, it was the script writer's idea not Baba
>>144310253
>I can't believe good of friends these two are
That, they are..
>>144323261
Then Baba is truly useless
Is the black long hair girl the werewolf from the latest game?
>>144323369
Yes, Velvet is the main character of Berseria
>>144322978
The anime will fix Baba faggotry.
>>144323261
Baba atleast approved it, so he was atleast on the same page. His ultimate goal may not have been for the fujoshi, but to simply date Rose's va. 700 years of semen wouldn't exist without his devote waifufaggotry.
>>144323215
Nah, Gramps house is too small. It's never mentioned in game where Mikleo lives at all. Some even assumed he just lived with Sorey. But not even the anime confirms that it was Mikleo's own house he was in, and not just sleeping over someone else's. Seraphs don't even have to sleep.
>>144323436
Ok, fine. A reason for me to watch this.
>>144310253
Serious question, is this actually fag shit or not?
I mean like canon.
VERY IMPORTANT.
>>144323531
No it'll shit on Baba by pairing Alisha a character he hates with his waifu.
>>144323697
>Fuck you Ufotable, mai waifu isn't a filthy dyke. Rose loves me, she told me.
>>144323369
>Is the black long hair girl the werewolf from the latest game?
No she's the MC for the next game. I think it will be released in Japan next month.
>>144321590
>no actual named writer
That means nothing at the end. Names carry popularity but little more most of the time.
>>144323828
That's too bad Baba, Ufotable doesn't care what you want.
>>144319203
Most people probably didn't give a shit about poor Mason dying, I doubt they even spoke to him when he was an NPC.
I always felt sorry for him, though. He died and there was no way around it. The fact that this anime changed it and allowed Mason to survive is a sign of hope in many ways.
>>144323211
>Anon believing that you and you alone should be judge, jury, and executioner isn't something that a sane person does.
So you're going to dodge the question then.
>>144319203
>Mason dying was retconned
>not fireworks for celebrating Mason's dead
DROPPED
>>144324034
I think after having the man die and have the seraphs pull a shitty fireworks scene for Alisha in the OVA, this was the least they could do.
>>144310253
Me on the left
Mikleo and Sorey are the Soren and Ike of our generation.
>>144324272
Another friendship perverted by the mentally ill, you're right.
Wait, it really is just the two girls that are human in the party? The rest are shepherd and seraphs?
>>144317687
Zelos's VA really has nothing else going on for him does he? He seems attached to every Tales Fes and every Tales of VA event.
>>144323654
Yes.
How many episodes do we have of this?
>>144324742
Amazing.
Lailah next episode? Better start preparing.
How can a girl look so girl in black?
>>144324110
Except I'm not, that's generally a belief that only a insane person. There is no justification for anyone anyone to have such a belief.
>>144324468
He has ongoing roles for major characters in Dynasty Warriors, Prince of Tennis, and Hetalia. It's more likely that he shows up all the time because it's fun.
>>144323268
Go away Kurata.
Sorey is such a pure waifu
>>144323620
Ok, don't get your hopes up. She so far has only shown up in the OP and we don't know if she'll even show up later.
>>144322359
It actually makes reasonable sense. The Seraphs don't use houses normally, and only built some because Sorey needed a house and they didn't want him to feel out of place. You literally never see another seraph house in the remainder of the game. All seraphs are shown either outside or in temples, some very far away from civilization. At one point in the game, the entire population of Elysia also congregates in Gramps house alone, so the population can't be that big.
>>144324988
If, provided with enough information you would not kill someone who is truly evil then you are morally bankrupt.
>>144325832
Anon the only morally bankrupt person is you.

>>144325655
The purest and cutest.
>>144325868
I'm also morally bankrupt. You can reasonably argue that Rose got knife happy, particularly before she joined the party. However, stabbing hellions or known hellion collaborators is not at all wrong. What are you going to do anyway? Put the invisible monsters on trial?
>>144325952
At least you admit to being a sociopath.
>>144326102
The only thing a jury adds to a situation where a clearly evil being is being condemned to death is mob mentality. All you're really saying is that you're okay with killing people if you can hide among the crowd to alleviate guilt.
>>144326560
It's more about being aware that even if you didn't have other choice but to kill, that doesn't make it right.
>>144326560
Anon, there's a difference between having no choice but to no and consciously choosing to do so. Killing another person is wrong anon.
>>144326651
>Anon, there's a difference between having no choice but to no and consciously choosing to do so. Killing another person is wrong anon.
Having no other choice but to kill someone makes it unfortunate not wrong. It's a thing you regret that could not have had a better outcome, it doesn't mean that the outcome was bad.
>>144327362
It might not be wrong, but it wasn't right either. Killing someone is never right. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to do it. Such is the imperfect world we live.
I expected less Alicia bullying in the anime, not more
>>144327446
*live in
>>144327362
I never said it was right, even if you kill you because you have no choice it's still wrong, but other anon is trying to group together one with the other.
>>144327446
>Killing someone is never right.
Except when it is.
Then you jump through mental hoops telling yourself that 'there was simply no other way and so I shall be the martyr to bear this sin'
Or you just accept that it was the correct course of action, full stop.
>>144327715
Anon the only one jumping through mental hoops is you.
Who is Lailah's new VA?
>>144327766
You're cute.
>>144327799
And you're a sociopath.
>>144327792
Shitaya Noriko (Sakura Matou)
>>144327840
Doesn't seem like a great choice. Wonder if they'll just drop the goofy spazzing out
>>144323436
Well she be Milla 2.0? if so im ok with that
>>144327937
Well it can work, she just needs to sound dignified while spouting random shit.
>>144327715
>Or you just accept that it was the correct course of action, full stop.
That's called not facing reality anon.
>>144327792
That is adorable. Now I have to get Zestiria for PS3.
>>144324272
>Mikleo and Sorey are the Soren and Ike of our generation.
God fucking bless. I thought Soren was a girl for years just because he was so obviously Ike's waifu.
>>144328745
The game is very bad, just a warning. No amount of cute attach dolls will fix that
>>144327832
You don't seem to understand the word you keep hiding behind, I am fully capable of empathizing with the victims of evil people. I simply believe that people can become irredeemable and that there is nothing wrong with killing them.
>>144328398
>killing an irredeemably evil being is morally wrong
>claim to be facing reality
Playing Xillia.
How do i map the artes on to the arrow keys instead of using the shitty thumbsticks?
>>144328839
Anon you keep looking to justify your edge but you're not going to find any here or in society itself.
>>144328836
Which one should I get? Grace f? Zestiria? I bought Xillia and Xillia 2 but still haven't started
