Yeah, Natalia/Asch was weird for me. I justified it to myself by thinking that it was really more that after finding out about Luke, Natalia was super shaken-up and just wanted to reconnect to her childhood (and thus Asch, not Luke), but that's probably more headcanon than anything. I've never really been a big fan of the "he's mean as hell but is secretly nice/loving underneath it" romantic trope, so it really never worked as a ship for me.

Asch got on my nerves. I understand that what happened to him was shitty, but when you compare him to Luke who has this large sweeping character development and turn, to a guy who spends the entire time whining about being the 'ash' of Luke, it doesn't really make him all that likeable. I hated the open ending, too.

I was okay with him, but he's certainly my least favorite of the major characters. I found all of the other God-Generals infinitely more compelling, even Sync, who I'd probably classify as even whinier than Asch, haha.

I guess I kind of understand the reasoning behind leaving the ending technically ambiguous, but I could swear that I read an interview somewhere with one of the lead writers that basically said "it's ambiguous in-game but we always had it in mind that it was Luke's memories and personality inside Asch's body." Plus, the left-handed sheath for the Key of Lorelai (Luke being left-handed, Asch is a righty). So I was happy with that.
