#ff16 spoilers comin up in tags #(and problematic bullshit lol) #if supposed to be platonic then why are they HEAD OVER HEELS FOR EACH OTHER #why are they READY TO DIE FOR EACH OTHER #why did they have engagement rings (ear cuffs) and a wedding (blessing ceremony). #why do the last few scenes imply that clive finally realizes he's had romantic feelings for joshua this whole time #(which is based on my specific analysis that ignores the writers intending for the moon to = romance; #the moon = jill #the sun = joshua #balcony = budding romance/the liminal space reserved for lovers) #AND WHY DID CLIVE DECIDE A WORLD WITHOUT HIS BROTHER ISN'T WORTH LIVING IN WHEN HE HAS A WHOLE JILL ? WAITING FOR HIM? AT HOME ? #and tons of other people #but like #???????????????????????????????? #i just Don't Know. #they try to write a good romance but it ends up being 1) comphet #and 2) completely overshadowed by the brotherly romance. #anyway game sucked. combat shallow. boss fights easy. character writing atrocious. sexist. sidequests bad. slavery B plot tactlessly done. #pretty + smooth to play + fun (sometimes) are the only pros. #also! dion. best character bar none #followed by charon
