Top 5 tales of villains/antagonists!

It's funny... I still haven't played every Tales Of game but most of the villains have just had an "...eh." effect on me. There are some that I like though.

1 - Gaius from Xillia. Ngl, he arguably had more understandable motives that the party did, especially since he's king and feels it's his duty to protect his people. And I also like how he's a man of his word and allows Jude and Milla to join the worlds together and then in Xillia 2 works his hardest to maintain peace between the two lands.

2 - Artorius Collbrande from Berseria. I hated this guy at the beginning, but at the end? I was blown away by how well written he is. Like, this man lost everything that was dear to him and then had the duty of protecting the whole world from malevolence, something that exists within everyone, thrust upon him. It's completely understandable that he'd go as far as erasing emotions. I also love the final exchange between him and Velvet where he admits that if it had been Velvet and Laphi that died that night instead of Celica and their unborn child, he probably never would have done this and Velvet agrees. I love how it shows that they were family once, and a piece of that bond remains, despite everything. He's just really, really well written...

3 - Richter Abend from Symphonia: Dawn Of The New World. I love how his motives are mix of saving the world and getting revenge. Plus, I love how complicated his feelings regarding Emil are. I mean, Emil is his own person but has the appearance of Richter's dead best friend and is also possessed by Ratatosk, the one who murdered said best friend. So, yeah, quite complicated.

4 - Duke Pantarei from Vesperia. Again, understandable motives. It's been a while since I've watched the ending sections of Vesperia but I remember it's along the lines of "You're killing this world with the blastia but you're so dependent on them that I know you'll never give them up, so I have to take matters into my own hands."

5 - Van Grants from Abyss. I hate this man. I hate him so, so much. But he is one of the most understandable villains I've seen in the series so far. I mean, the entire world follows their lives as written in Yulia's Score and never dare to differentiate from it, even when catastrophic events occur. So when his homeland is wiped out and the rest of the world reacts with "It was destined to happen, it was written in the score." Of course he's going to set out to destroy the damn thing.

#keebermeeber's rambles #Laphi plays Symphonia Dawn of the New World #Emil is amazing I love him

[xiomeebo]

I am feeling so many emotions rn

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world

[xiomeebo]

I have gotten emotionally attached to Emil, and tonight's session was a time.

#keebermeeber's rambles #Laphi plays Symphonia Dawn of the New World #Girl help we're in the temple of darkness #Them bullying Tenebrae was great tho #Ratatosk was in skits for once which was fun #idc if thats not actually Ratatosk its easier to type sjdbsj #Emil called Sheena his mom :) #that was great kdbd #Emil my beloved ;-;

[xiomeebo]

I am so intrigued w how they've written Emil so far cause like there is something clearly off about him but like,, I don't think Emil realizes it?? Like characters wouldn't recognize him when they should, or he wouldn't remember meeting someone who remembers him, and instead of being concerned he just assumes he was not very memorable or didnt remember right,,

Something is going on w him and I really wanna find out.

#keebermeeber's rambles #Laphi plays Symphonia Dawn of the New World #Like we're still trying to beat the light frog #and we were doing some side quests w Richter #and it mentioned that Emil looks like a friend of Richter's #That was a fun time #I keep comparing Emil and Richter's dynamic to Axel and Roxas #and I'm not sure if I'm ready to see if that comparison continues to work #Also all the shit to do w Ratatosk is just REALLY interesting #cause it seems like hes taking over more and more often as we get more centurions cores #which is fun :)

Dawn of the New World arrived today so I guess we’re gonna start that tonight :o I might post any thoughts I have and stuff, I’ll see how I’m feeling,,

#KeeberMeeber's rambles #Laphi plays Symphonia Dawn of the New World #I'm mostly here for Regal hjdvnd

[xiomeebo]

Gotta love the fact that we last left off right before we go to fight Richter, and then because my sister is busy I get two whole days to emotionally prepare for whatever shit is about to go down

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #Emil ily but your current plan to unleash ratatosk on your friends is not a good idea. #if we end up having to fight everyone I will cry #I hope we don't have to hjfjbvjf #I just wanna kick Richter's ass and then maybe cry

[xiomeebo]

I do not think I am prepared for the ending of Dawn of the New World

I am too attached to Emil at this point,, I am not ready.

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #THIS GAME WAS SO GOOD HDBVHFD #I went in here with no expectations #came out with a new second favorite tales character #Nobody will surpass Flynn #I am too emotionally invested in him at this point

[xiomeebo]

I was not expecting them to kiss, funky

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #y'know what good for Emil and Marta

[xiomeebo]

partially warming up to Decus simply for the theatre kid energy he exudes

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #aside from the fact he's stinky #the stupid fucking dance he did while locked alone in the room in Altamira #amazing. #that whole cutscene was good tho hjfvjf #Zelos and Colette just showing up and dragging Emil away

[xiomeebo]

Even in the sequel Lloyd Irving's playstyle still evades me

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #girl help I still can't play him #learned Colette tho #She's pretty fun to play #I learned both Marta and Emil too #My sister mostly played as Emil #but I got to try him whenever Zelos was in the party #I got Marta whenever the rare occasion Regal wasn't in the party #He's been here for so much of the game I wasn't expecting that at all

[xiomeebo]

So did Ratatosk decide to make himself look like Aster out of spite, or did he just steal Aster’s body (maybe also out of spite)

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #It would be funny if he did #please don't actually answer this fjbvjdf #we like just started chapter 8 #we were so sure we were gonna have to fight Regal or some shit #still can't get over how Tenebrae calls Emil 'Lord Emil' now #I love it hjdfbvfnd #as a former persona 4 fan hearing Ratatosk's voice still deals me some sort of damage #Once again was not expecting to like Emil this much

[xiomeebo]

LORD EMIL JSVDJAVDN

I hate how the first thing I said when we saw Brute was "reblog to slap his bald head"

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #Also they are giving Regal so much screentime #I am here for this so fucking much jshdj #Presea finally showed up last night too :o #I do feel as though shit is about to hit the fan when it comes to Emil jshfjs

[xiomeebo]

Regal better find a way to provide Emil and Marta w therapy after all this kdhdj

Lezareno company prolly has something like that,,

#keebermeeber's rambles #laphi plays symphonia dawn of the new world #If my mans company can create shitty cologne and also have insurance #they can have therapy there too
