Alas, I do not venture into the fandom enough to really know. I usually just do cursory scans off FF.net and some LJ-communities, but from what I've seen? That pairing is rare. Far too rare.

Hell I would rather see Neku with Beat than I would see him with Joshua. At least Beat is funny and caring.

Re: 127

Ah, no matter :) I've not felt much of an urge to touch the fandom myself; idk why, given how much I enjoyed the game...I think it's one of those source texts where I thought, I'm not sure what the fandom could give me except things I really did not want to see.

I do understand where Joshua/Neku comes from, but more in a "I see how the game's fanservice is making you think that" kind of way than in a "I see how that would work" kind of way, if that distinction makes any sense outside of my head. In a departure from my usual shipping habits, though, I ship Neku with Shiki if I ship him with anyone.

Re: 127

[identity profile] georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com 2009-03-18 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, agreed with the fanservice. It felt almost a little like the makers going "HEY LOOK HERE LADIES HAWT HAWT BOYS BEING HAWT AND BOTHERED AT EACH OTHER. Actual development of relationship and believable subtext? What on earth is that poppycock? LOOK AT HOW CLOSE THEY'RE STANDING TO EACH OTHER."

I think I would be more fond of that pairing if Neku hadn't tried to kill Shiki at one point, and then they never really adress it or let him have it in any way except for a slap on the wrist by Hanekoma. That just felt... bizarre. I do not doubt Neku evolved beyond such douche-baggery (unlike JOSHUAAAARGH), but it still just... touches me the wrong way.

You really hate Joshua, don't you? :D But yeah, I hate his little prissy, smug ass too - not to mention he was annoying as hell to fight with. I liked Shiki and Beats fighting styles better =/ I wished so much that someone would punch that damn smile off his face.

Re: 127

[identity profile] georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com 2009-03-18 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a hate-love kind of thing, really. I mean oh yes, he does annoy me, but damn if I don't feel a warped sort of attachment to him. Deep down. When I'm not angry he's not a bossfight so you can kick his smugness down a notch.

Re: 127

[identity profile] lolitsumi.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
(Pssst -- play Another Day. He's sort of a boss fight in that! He's a hard little bitch though and I haven't beaten him yet, so I'm not sure if managing to do so would make him less smug. But Another Day is worth it just for the sheer amount of WTF anyway. "SO ZETTA SHUCKS," uasfhkajfu.)

I keep MEANING to go back and wrap up Another Day, I truly do ;_; It's just that I keep forgetting TWEWY in lieu of other games that need finishin'

Oh, god, I love Joshua so much, mostly because he's a prissy, smug little dick but I honestly think he was trying to do something good (in as dickish a way possible :|) and that he could grow, but---

I really, really wish there had been a "PUNCH JOSHUA" option. At, like. Any point in the game. :C

Re: 127

Lol, a "punch Joshua" option would have been fun XD

"HEY LOOK HERE LADIES HAWT HAWT BOYS BEING HAWT AND BOTHERED AT EACH OTHER. Actual development of relationship and believable subtext? What on earth is that poppycock? LOOK AT HOW CLOSE THEY'RE STANDING TO EACH OTHER."

There is not enough THIS in the world. Seriously, this sums up pretty much exactly my reaction to Joshua and Neku's in-game interaction.

That's a good point about what Neku does to Shiki, and one that I'd forgotten...which probably says a lot about the game's emotional and moral compass, tbh. There's an awful lot of shit that goes down over the course of it that you'd really expect to have greater ramifications than it's shown to do.

Re: 127

[identity profile] georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com 2009-03-18 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Shiki almost getting erased is the only one I can recall off-hand. Can you give some examples as to what the other ones were?

Re: 127

[identity profile] fanbeatsman.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry about the delay in replying, foiled by timezones! Tbh, though, looking back on it after sleep I think the sort of thing I was thinking about (a sort of general underplaying of emotional situations, with a couple of notable exceptions - Neku's reaction to finding out what Joshua did, Beat's response to what happens to Rhyme) is probably just a general function of the fact that the kids are in a situation that, while highly stressful and wtf-inducing, is so stressful that it's not like they have time to sit around angsting about it. Which is quite refreshing, really.

Re: 127

[identity profile] georg-vanlunden.livejournal.com 2009-03-19 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm... I think it's a precarious balance-act, really. Like you say, it IS refreshing that these kids don't angst over EVERY LITTLE SLIGHT EVER and that they take action (because if they don't, they're toast), but it still feels like some of those things should have left some sort of lasting impact that should have repercussions later on... although complaining about it sort of makes me feel like I'm part of the unpleasable fanbase. Complain if they do, complain if they don't.
