Re: What are your least favorite heel-face or face-heel turns?

Honestly I think this is just kind of a natural consequence of having 108 separate characters that you have to try and flesh out at least in a minor way within the course of a ~70 hour story. I was satisfied with how they handled most of them, Euram included-- if there's anyone I felt they kind of dropped the ball on, it was Jeane, what with her being a returning character. It felt like they weren't quite sure what to do with her, so her whole plotline kind of stuttered and never really got off the ground.

I don't have a problem with certain characters not being fleshed out. It's when they build up so much and then just... drop the ball.

For example, as much as I'd wished they did more with Richard because he's awesome, I understand he was just one of many fighters in the game. You find out, either early on (if you like to explore castles) or later into the game, that he'd participated in the Sacred Games, and had a pretty good shot at winning if he hadn't been drugged. What you don't find out is that he has a tragic backstory, unless you're willing to kill him off toward the end. But as far as the main story goes, he doesn't really have an impact on it. It makes sense that many things about him remain "optional."

Euram, however, is strongly tied to the main story. He's responsible for events that occur before the game... events that impact the royal family and an entire town. He pulls a few stunts during the game, causing the prince to respond because at least one stunt hinders alliances. Apparently, he's important enough to include a scene where he witnesses his father's murder and is mocked for being an imbecile. Then when it comes time to recruit him... two-second personality makeover. All that buildup... I just think he deserved better. (I know not everyone agrees. Hell, you don't even have to recruit him, so maybe they wrote that scene with that fact in mind. It would certainly explain a lot.)

Sadly, I think Jeane will remain a mystery, unless they publish more Japanese-only material about her.
