#Haursame wedding is BACK ON THE TABLE as soon as Sesame reverses his death

[1driedpersimmon]

Someone in a JP server told me an early draft of Heavensward between Ishikawa&Oda had Haurchefant in a wheelchair unable to serve as a knight as a permanent consequence of the... "I WILL DO THE RECKLESS THING IN A CHIVALRIC WAY BECAUSE MY IDENTITY IS KNIGHT" (EXPLODES)

Sacrificing his vocation/duty for the WoL and having to figure out what his deal is outside that is so crazy. Under those circumstances he has to interact with his family and navigate that mess himself instead of too late through us, which is a lot more compelling tbh

Yoshida apparently played Dark Souls(!?) and decided to cut off Ishikawa's characters early to add a more grimdark feeling to the game. She didn't have much say & her and Oda were like "continually removing party members doesn't really make the player want to return, we had something else charted out", but the plot point got shuffled

There was a Korean magazine article and an interview with Ishikawa corroborating some of this, but I couldn't make out a lot of it-- what I know already drives me insane. You understand

MANNNNNN…….. if there’s one thing I dislike most is just… killing off characters without properly fleshing them out… or not having enough time to do so… OR JUST DOING IT BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO/KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM
