#STAN MISS ALICE AND HER ALMIGHTY BOYTOY DECUS!!!

[random-senpai]

Will there EVER be rival characters like Alice and Decus again? Will ANYONE come close to reaching how perfectly they used The Power Of Love Except We're Both Awful And Antagonistic And Our Relationship Is Sickeningly Unhealthy But We're All The Other Has or are we doomed to never reach that high again? God I wish it was easier to play ToS2 in the post-Wii era, I miss that game.

I WOULD FUCKING KILL FOR RIVALS LIKE ALICE AND DECUS AGAIN! THE WAY THAT THEY WERE SO BROKEN YET FIT TOGETHER PERFECTLY IN CACOPHONY OF MADNESS WAS PERFECT! ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF THE GAME'S MAIN THEMES IS BOTH THE DANGERS AND POWER OF LOVE, ALLOWING THEM TO SERVE AS THE PERFECT FOIL TO OUR PROTAGONISTS!!

But we really have peaked and will never get that high again with the current "Age of sweet misunderstood Blorbos" that we're currently in. Now almost every Villain comes with some kinda bullshit excuse and built in redemption arc because they're baiting some kinda DLC or supplementary material they're trying to sell. Or just "doing it for the evuls" to a comically cartoonish degree because they don't wanna deal with Fujoshis and Redditors fans trying to redeem them with 5k word essays about how they were oppressed and misunderstood. And about how the genocide was morally right actually or if it didnt happen "nobody got hurt so they can be redeemed UwU".

Tales of Symphonia DotNW came out in 2008 and we were too young!! Too young to realize just how good we had it with the villains amidst the salt of the OG Cast being stuck at level 50. Now we'll never again get that perfect storm of enough evil, power, and toxicity to make them threatening villains that own up and take pride in their atrocities. Accompanied with that little bit of humanity to make you emphathize and understand them without reaching "poor little meow meow" status.

Also GOD SIS ME TOO!! UGGHHH MY WII BROKE DOWN AND I MISS BOTH ToS2 and Animal Parade SO BAD!!
