(Translation) Where Kagari Spends His Time [Lv. 4 Bond Story]

Kagari: Nosy, aren't we. Where do you think I spend most of my time?

Choices 1) In the city? 2) Maybe the battlefield or... 3) I don't know.

> In the city?

Kagari: A simplistic answer, but you're not wrong. I like lively places, and some days I go in for art supplies.

> Maybe the battlefield or...

Kagari: Hearing the word 'battlefield' from your mouth makes me feel weird. I'm saying it doesn't suit you, is all.

Kagari: I've been standing on battlefields since I was a child. When it comes to places I frequent most, that's definitely it.

> I don't know.

Kagari: Use your head. Is that the extent of your interest in me? No, right?

Kagari: The training hall, huh? That's a good answer. I certainly can't go without training. It used to be an obligation in the past but now it's habit.

His answer after the choices section

Kagari: So where do you usually hang out? It's unfair if I'm the only one who answers.

Kagari: (closes in) A place with books maybe. And that's why... (sniff sniff) ...you smell like paper. You also smell like roses, too.

Kagari: You're embarrassed aren't you, princess. Your face is red.

Kagari: No, scratch that. It's actually bright-red.

The emotional whiplash of playing Rio’s route at the same time as Liam’s route is insane. The stakes are so different IkePri MC is like “The guy I’m in love with is an amnesiac noble who might be engaged so I can’t get close to him lest my heart noticeably break when we must inevitably part from one another” and the IkeVil MC is shaking like a chihuahua in the corner going “My boyfriend tried to kill himself in front of me”

Hey, I'm rambling about IkePri again

Okay, I just need to get these thoughts I have about Gilbert von Obsidian out because I enjoy predicting stuff and overthinking design and narrative choices even tho they might not be right. :P But there really isn't that much predicting other than me overthinking about narrative and design choices. This time there will be most likely spoilers of Gilbert's route so far, and route of Clavis and some thoughts I have just gathered while playing the game in general. I try to put these thoughts in cohesive order, but well... I don't know if I can really, because I just need to get these out of my head. These are my thoughts, ramblings and opinions. Feel free to form your own and certainly disagree with me! I apologize about the lack of art in this post. I'm busy with work currently so no fanart for a while. I'm also not native English speaker, so there might be grammatical errors and such. Sorry about that. Everything under the cut.

To start with Ikemen Prince is a romance visual novel first and foremost. That doesn't mean it can't be deep (and it certainly has been deeper than I initially expect, which left me positively surprised). I suppose there is somesort of thematic vibe that there is no prince whose ideals are the main thesis of the game itself. But that also kinda leaves that fact there is no huge catharsis regarding the world and it's state. Everything so far has been left quite open. And the more I have learned about lore of the world, I really feel like anti-monarchist here xd Clavis really sold me the idea for real. Or atleast throw away the absolute monarchy. That's where I think things should go, but that's my own belief. (really, the last king of Rhodolite... He umm... I have some opinions.) Chevalier and Gilbert First things first: I don't hate or dislike Chevalier as a character. There are just some things that give me Deus Ex Machina feels. But I know it is what they are going for with him. This genius that so far ahead of everyone that it is so alien concept to rest of the people. And well that is a very hard concept to pull off without being a genius yourself as a writer. Or that is what I feel like. But what I do love is what the writers are doing with him and Gilbert in thematic sense! (Hence why Chev x Gilbert sounds so juicy to me)

I really took steps to the deep end as I started to think about why I have enjoyed Gilbert's route or was interested in his story to begin with, but have little interest in trying Chev's one. Because they are so similar but they really aren't.

How I would describe it is that where as Clavis is the complementary to Chev, the purple to his yellow, the emotionality vs rationality, the heart vs the brain, Gilbert is more like right brain to Chev's left brain. If it makes sense like that xd Their color schemes are harmonious. Not opposite. Almost like how Nokto and Licht's color schemes are harmonious with each others.

(Nokto (Blue + white + gold) vs Licht (Blue + black + gold)) Not to mention that their names clearly are meant to mean light and dark. (Licht: variant for light, Nokto: comes form latin nox or noctis, meaning night = dark) But that is a rambling for another time.) Both their crests are tigers. White and black tiger. Chev's color scheme is White + gold and black. Whereas Gilbert's is Black + gold and white. But then the overall color that game devs use to signal about the characters baffles me a bit. Gold/Yellow vs Black/dark red. They don't seem to have too much connection or that of which comes to my mind quickly and without digging deeper. (because I believe that if you dig deep enough, you have digged yourself into a trap of overthinking about things. (Justifying things because you want to justify them, which I'm not big fan of. And sometimes things don't need meaning and we have to live with that. As much as it pains my overthinker brain.)) But here is my impressions about Gilbert so far. I'm at the point where MC has left the Clavis's party (I loved it btw). Gilbert really does give me toxic INFJ villain feels, but let's not get too hang up on terms such as that. But he is someone who is driven forth by his own ideals and desire to change the world better. He, like Clavis, seems to cloak himself in this idea that he is the villain and is okay, even happy, to take that role. He is the one who, like Chevalier, has thrown away emotional attachment out of the window (or so they say) unlike Clavis who makes his choices based more on emotion rather than rational thinking. Maybe that's why I like Clavis and Gilbert, they push MC out of their black and white thinking. That things are not so easy peezy as "choose a right king and everyone will be happy". There will always be someone who is mad about it. That's why I really loved the scene with Gilbert with the orphaned kids and the Clavis's party. He seems to enjoy the company of children (who are not morally corrupted or tainted) and he really empathically listens to those who are angry. He believes in the idea that "no one remembers what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel". (A quote with debatable origin, people say that it was coined by Maya Angelou. But I really love this quote, because I think it is the truth.) Gilbert isn't trying to rationalize against someone's choices with pure intellect. He uses empathy to guide him to the most rational outcome in that emotional scope. But he also uses this to manipulate people with fear. He uses fear extensively and he does it actively. Where as I feel like Chev just has that aura about him automatically. Hence my next thought: Action vs Stasis!

Gilbert and Clavis are action oriented. They shake the gameboard, they make the first moves. Gilbert probably more than Clavis. They both want change. Is it change for the better, we will see, I still haven't finished Gilbert's route but he really gives me this "I'm willing to become the greatest threat so that people unite to defeat me." or "I will conquer all so there will no longer be wars.". Chev, on the other hand, symbolizes stasis. His goal is to keep the kingdom of Rhodolite going. That's his duty and he is willing to take it. (even tho we can debate if that is something he really really believes in or even thinks about that much. I feel like it is out of obligation rather than of personal ideal. But alas, I have not played Chev's route yet.) Chev is reactive rather than proactive. He waits for the opponent to make the first move and reacts accordingly. (I'm not saying he is not reactive once game is on. More like "if there was not threat to deal with, he wouldn't create one".)

Chev doesn't care what you think about him. Gilbert does. He might seem like he doesn't but he is really there to prove a point. (I will pick up his dislike for lying later >.>) Chev is not. Chev knows that his way is the right way for him and that is enough for him. Chev also actively makes a "gettaway plan" for himself in Clavis. He knows that Clavis is the final thread that keeps him from going overboard because he understand that he has to be blind for "individual people" aspect to be a good ruler. Gilbert probably understands this about himself too, but he is trying to prove a point. So he needs to go overboard. Because masses of people need absolutes to react to. If it is something banal, it won't do. His evil actions need to shake the very foundation of ideas. The people have to face those things head on and see it for themselves. They cannot be sheltered. Gilbert gives me the vibes that he is willing to sacrifice himself not for the kingdom, but for the betterment of all mankind. He is happy to become the villain #1 if that means that other people will rise and take down the corrupted Obsidian or the corrupted idea. I would say that he is Lawful Good going on about things like Lawful Evil.

Gilbert asking questions means that he wants you to think, he wants to challenge your opinions and how you look at the world. Same as Clavis. They yearn for change. They want to change the world. Where as Chev wants to maintain things as they are. Chev "If it is not broken, we don't need to fix it" Michel. Where as Clavis and Gilbert want to improve the system. They are idealistic. Gilbert and lying

This is something very interesting. At first I thought that he was all "I dislike when people lie to me." but he really is "I dislike lying in all its forms." And he does say that he doesn't lie. And I'm starting to believe that is really the case. All the things he says are true. But because how other people see him, they are suspicious anyway. Like MC is. Like we all probably are when we start the route and think "So what is your trauma, baby girl?" When he is unsure or knows that he shouldn't say the thing he really thinks or that is true, he will deflect or give a very vague response. Which makes me quite happy to replay his route at somepoint with this in mind. In conclusion: Welcome to my TED talk, with no head or tail, just me overthinking about things about a otome gacha game. If you read this far, thank you for your time. Remember, if I ramble about it, it just means that I'm invested. Have a good day~

I'm reading Licht's route now, and it would be so nice to finally hear his voice… but… By the time the voices are added, I'll probably be almost finished. Such a bad timing…

Well, I got a little example of Matias’ thirst

In his bond story - you ask him if he thinks you were a man or something when you first met him- and he reassures you that he didn’t.

He starts talking about your face, your shoulders, your waist . . . Obvious drooling over you. Then he stops, coughs, and recenters himself before continuing.

(Translation) Azel's Hobby [Lv. 6 Bond Story]

Azel: Hobby? ...I see. I don't feel any particular need to answer. That's all I have for you.

Azel: Oh, come on, what? ...Not going to leave without getting an answer, huh? You're such a pain in the ass.

Azel: (cheeky smile) How about guessing things for yourself first before asking others? Using that tiny brain of yours.

Choices 1) I take it you just don't have hobbies then? 2) It's divination isn't it? 3) Is it asking people for money?

> I take it you just don't have hobbies then?

Azel: Gave up thinking already? If I look like someone lacking hobbies then don't ask in the first place.

> It's divination, isn't it?

Azel: That's just a tool of my trade—(polite voice) No, what I mean is divination is a sacred thing different from a hobby.

Azel: (still polite voice) What's that? You heard some secular language just now? It must have been an auditory hallucination. I recommend returning to your room and resting as soon as possible.

> Is it asking people for money?

Azel: I see, I see. I understand clearly now the way I appear to you. I have nothing more to say. Farewell...

(screen shakes because you grab him)

Azel: ...Stop clinging to me, I got that you were joking! Are you seriously this desperate to know? Sheesh.

His answer after the choices section

Azel: When it comes to hobbies, let's see... This moment here might just precisely be my hobby.

Azel: Despite how it may seem, I like having conversations with people. Not god-to-person, but person-to-person.

Azel: I'm treated like a god when I'm in Tanzanite. I can't hope for a proper conversation.

Azel: ...I don't seem like a god at all? Well, that's fine. May that always remain the case for you.
