#just dont like sharla and reyn as a couple the game is so weird about it no I dont wanna see an older engaged woman have the 'hole in her

ngl one of my least favorite theories around 3 is stuff about random characters being related to other past ones. Like. ok in future redeemed it warrants some discussion but stuff like “cammuravi is pyras kid” or “ashera is dunbans”. idk I know its anime and they usually use hair and eye color to denote relation but. more than one fire blade exists sobs. Who would Dunban even have kids with.

Like I personally don’t mind the cast of future redeemed being so interconnected and related bc first off its kind of funny. they’re a big family road trip. and second there’s clearly a sadness behind it bc rex and shulk probably dont want to tell these versions of their kids who they believe dont have long left that “hey you have a family but you’ll barely get to enjoy it”. Like Nia in the base game, they have to put aside their feelings as parents while also giving their kids support when they can.

Also it’s a dlc and not a main story game so it being a lot of legacy characters also doesn’t bother me as much. Like when all but one of 3′s main party followed the Xenoblade trend of being “just some guys” overall (yes Noah had a reincarnation thing but Noah/N in general doesn’t have a bloodline connection he seems to just have been a kid from the Bionis) the fact that they went a bit ham on the fanservice here feels a bit more deserved, if that makes sense.

That being said I do generally dislike the idea important characters have to always be related to just some other important character. It’s boring and makes the world feel smaller and I heavily dislike implications that to be important you need to be related to someone important. just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

#ik that panacea girl is most likely gonna be Sharla and reyns kid and that bothers me a BIT more ngl. somewhat on principle but also bc i #just dont like sharla and reyn as a couple the game is so weird about it no I dont wanna see an older engaged woman have the 'hole in her #heart' filled by 18 year old like they're not THAT far apart in age but like. cmon I dont think its 'creepy' just kind of demeaning to her #kind of also reminds me of what warrior cats is doing rn with its love interests lol #ok the only one I do like is that dirk is mythras son is fucking hilarious until proven wrong im going to be thinking about it #xenoblade #xenoblade chronicles
