Meanwhile DQXI got it right from the get go. Strong and likeable.
Indeed. I'm not falling for this shit again after, despite being called out pretty much since the instant of re-reveal, they did zilch to address concerns about the cast (and the game suffered for it).Based on the title alone, I definitely thought this was going to be about Aranea though. Yikes!
She basically isn't.
Noctis and Lunafreya do not speak during the main game. They communicate in short sentences via telepathic, warping dog. We don't really know much about her. What we do know we learn retroactively or through side content. She is an utterly awful character.
Who gives a fuck about Aranea? She's totally irrelevant to the main concept of the game. If a female character deserves spotlight it's Luna's.
Nothing they do will make Luna interesting, because she's tailor-made to be the boring stoic Amidala type of character.
What's frustrating is that Japan loves the shit out of that type of character, which is why I tend to give them the nickname of "Shrine Maiden".
It's why the childhood friend or any type of female character with an actual human personality tend to lose in love triangles as well.
There's a reason so many Western people lost their shit at Re:Zero's protagonist over his choice.
The purpose of these episodes though is to flesh out story. Nothing about Aranea matters and need to be fleshed out as she's not important to the actual plot.The one and only true heroine of that universe
At least Aranea is a badass and sometimes will actually join the party and fight the monsters. Something Luna is too fragile to do.
She's your typical mature level headed, Fang/Lightning like character. Motivations hardly changed that much. From her first mission with the party in mission 7 it became pretty clear she was not loyal to anyone and had no actual love for the Empire. She's just not a character that needs fleshing out, she's pretty cut and dry and not important to anything other than the cool/badaas factor she brings to fights.I do.
She's a stronger character on every possible level. The gulf between her and the other female characters in the game is massive. She is better designed; as strong as the male leads; her motivations change during the story, thus she's not the cardboard cutout that Luna is; and there's funny dialogue from Prompto about her. She's just a unique presence in FF15.
Yeah. Luna's problem is her not being featured in the game much and even what is there is handled mostly badly, not her being a character without any good qualities or room to add something more meaningful to her character. Just having her be found by & then traveling with Noctis & the gang for some time after the destruction of Insomnia would have given them room & time to build her up as an individual and to let her & Noctis' relationship grow.That's extrapolating a bit much. You might not like the character and I absolutely think that she was disappointing and the game should have featured her much more, but I don't think her presence in the game amounts just to her messages with Noctis. I'm not defending the way the game told her story, but anyone who payed attention could piece bits together from a arguably interesting character, in my opinion. Too bad the game failed to develop and properly execute all those concepts, though.
Huh? Did you miss the end of Chapter 9? We also see quite a bit of them talking to each other as children.

how can she get the spotlight if she was cut?

Luna was important to the plot, but like so many others, got handled poorly and as a result could do with more back story.

Actual story though, which should be the point of these episodes, she's bottom tier.
Sania!!!Aranea > Iris > Nothing > Luna in terms of episodes I'd love to see.
This was my reaction. Really hope they move to FFXV 2 sooner rather than laterThis lmao, first thought was "I dunno if I'd call Aranea a hero..."
I played the whole game and I didn't know who they meant from just the title.
Virtually everyone

Worst character in a video game. Aranea Highwind requires the spotlight not her.

His division needs time to prepare & gear up for the production of their next game. No harm done with having part of it continue working on FFXV while the next project is still not ready for full production, especially considering a lot of it is clearly aimed at gaining all kinds of experince, improving Luminous & all kinds of stuff like that which they can then harness in the development of said next gameTabata really really wants to keep milking FF15 eh?
Episode Jared when?
I thought it was this also. Luna was such a minor character that I forgot about her.I legitimately thought this was going to be about Aranea or Cindy.

Real talk: One of my favorite things in XV was how she would randomly photobomb your pictures.
Not this shit again. You had your chance. You paraded her around as a "strong female character" before release.
The game said otherwise.
I hope to every god out there that Tabata isn't in charge of the next FF and it has nothing to do with XV.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Listen to this man, TabbyEpisode Jared when?
