(Anonymous) 2024-09-05 11:34 am (UTC)(link)Agree to disagree. I don't find it consistent with Saeko's Y7 character that she blanked Ichiban for a year instead of blasting him or finding a way to explain what went so wrong, and I don't appreciate that her entire drink link with Kiryu is a thinly disguised "she was mad at Ichiban for his proposal/nonsense but she's into him actually uwu".
I unequivocally loved Kaoru in Y2 in all aspects. RGG hasn't ever been great at romance (unless it's between the lines male bonds you choose to view as romantic), but I was sad to read that she was so broadly detested by fandom amd that's part of why she never returned.
I like that Seonhee is in charge and capable, that's in-keeping with Y7, and I appreciate getting to know more about her relationship with Joon-gi; it makes her feel more like a fully-rounded character. I dislike that her drink link with Kiryu consistently references that ~she's just got a crush on him uwu ~because he's so amazing uwu. Yes, Kiryu is wonderful, but we are 2/3 on girl characters swooning after protagonists and it is tedious. I would rather have no female party members than this.
Chitose is great, but Chitose also doesn't have to live up to characterisation established in a previous game. Speaking of characterisation in a previous game, where have Kiryu's feelings about Yumi been all this time? She was basically entirely unmentioned from Y2 to Gaiden, and suddenly she is the one true love of his life, the one that got away, etc. etc.
I actually buy Yumi being the only person Kiryu ever really felt he loved no problem. I find it difficult to get on board with it suddenly being front-and-center when it's been no where for six games.
tl;dr i have a lot of feelings actually, sorry
