...After all, this is the ranting journal.


Okay, official announcements regarding Baten Kaitos 2.
And what do I hear? "yay! this means Xelha's not born yet! :D"
Plus added comments about Milly/Millie looking like she's annoying. EXCUSE ME. The game hasn't been released yet, you know nothing about the character, and you automatically assume she's annoying? What the hell is wrong with you?!

Excuse me, but please roll over and die. In a fire.

I see nothing but Xelha hate EVERYWHERE. It skeeves me, since she's my favorite character. See, you're allowed to dislike or even hate a character (heck, I really can't stand Lyude--guess why the fanbase pisses me off! >:D;;), but when you won't SHUT UP about why a character sucks and how much you hate her and blah blah blah, it gets really fuckin' annoying.

Besides, I haven't even heard any good reasons for hating her, anyway. I mean, the ones I hear are "Her voice sucks!" Well, guess what, kids? EVERYONE'S VOICE SUCKS. "Waah, she's weak!" SHE'S A MAGE.
There are also complaints I hear, like, 'she's too nice', etc. It's not like she's nice every second of the freakin' game. I can point out specific examples, too. I mean, I am compiling the script.
Plus, if you're upset that the lead female got with the lead male? Um, hello? Japanese RPG? It's like complaining that the sky is blue. It's a cliche, sure, but it's not like bashing the freakin' characters will alter something that's cultural.

Ugh.

Actually, come to think of it, most games, the lead female gets bashed to death half the time by the fanbase. I swear, people can't stand seeing fictional characters get hooked up with other fictional characters. It's also part of that really scary misogynistic-woman thing that I see a lot in slash that really freaks me out.



Meh, I'm done.

I like Lyude...he's my second favorite character. :-( Xelha is my least favorite character, but I don't really hate her. I just feel like she's not as interesting as the other ones. I mean, for a character of her type, I actually like her quite a bit. Her and Garnet are the only white-mage esque lead females I can stand; I hate Aerith, Rena from Star Ocean 2, I wasn't that big on Merle either....I mean, why is it that a character like Xelha who isn't annoying at all gets bashed up the ass while Aerith--who really *is* perfect, who really *is* obnoxiously nice and special in every way--gets unabashed adoration? That's pretty lame.

Anyway, I know how you feel because I get a lot of flack for liking Lyude, who is "gay" "whiny" "has a shitty voice actor" "a loser"....

I know you like Lyude. And even when I say least favorite, it's not like I hate his guts or anything! He *is* useful.
I mean, if I wanna get into it, it's mostly his voice and his semi-emo-ness that bugs me. If it'd been released a few years ago, I probably wouldn't have been as annoyed by his personality as much. But so it goes.

Plus, I tend to like nice kind lead females. It's just how I am!
Then again, the only character time I don't like a lot is the snobby female, and even then, it's not a given. ^^;

And it's weird that you've run into so much Lyude-hate. All I've run into is Xelha-hate from the people who adore Lyude! o_o;
It's really really really weird...
