Rose's problems as a character were there from the start. Although I can't speak for all of them, I can say without a doubt that there are much more than a few people that play RPGs (or more) and actually consume the content in a way that is more than just casually. The "many" that I mentioned are people from not just here, but people on other forums, on Steam, and sometimes (although rarely) on social networking sites or platforms. What can be trusted though are user reviews that are both reasonable and go into detail regarding what they like and dislike, or what got them to stop playing a game. The above, as well as rentals makes it so that any concrete figure can't really be trusted. Of course, each person has their own different taste for games, and because of that people may find that one game is great, while they'll think that another is boring or too time-consuming. Some players just pick a title up on a whim, while others pick upon recommendation or due to discount sales. There are valid reasons for that though, as some people just don't have the time due to work or other commitments. I also didn't like how many parts of the story have been handled, but other people have pointed out "what could've been" so many times before on these threads already. Eizen being able to regain his sense of self, seeing how much the world change, seeing an old friend (Laphicet) and saying a few words to Edna before he passes on (unless he gets fully cured) would've made for a great development. He could've waited instead, and with the power of Maotelus, he would have at least been able to purify most of the malevolence on Eizen. What I didn't like was Sorey breaking his promise with Edna and killing Eizen when he DIDN'T exhaust all his options. Technically Sorey still had a character arc, which was him slowly figuring out the same thing that took Zavheid a hard time to figure out: that you won't be able to save everyone, and that death is sometimes the only way to release someone from suffering. The problem with the Zestiria cast is Rose, she effectively got in the way of their character arcs. Sorey's story was supposed to be more like Magilou's, Mikleo wanted to be a human, Lailah was supposed to have problems with guilt, Dezel was supposed to be Syomonne's foil, Zaveid and Sorey were supposed to have more of a realtionshp, and everyone knows what was probably cut from Edna's story. The problem with the Zestiria casts' stories, is that they got cut out because of Rose. ![]() ![]() Alisha doesn't bring anything like that to the table, and in addition to that she has no chemistry with the rest of the cast, having a story that isn't related to anyone else but her and in fact hinders Sorey and not in a good way. You can have a cast filled with goody-two shoes and still have their beliefs shaken by the events that they're involved with. Yes and no, I'm saying Alisha isn't a good character because she's bland and so is her story.
