Fandom and my OCs are fair game.

...oh. Hoo boy.

When I first played Zestiria, she was my favorite character. I even liked the way her story played out, in that she remained dedicated despite all the crap that got thrown her way.
The Write Stuff
She was this force of optimism in the face of adversity, and it was a Big Freaking Deal when she finally broke down in front of Sorey. I loved her development, the strength, her determination despite nothing behind handed to her.
The Write Stuff
Things took a turn with the DLC, where everyone was horribly OOC.
The Write Stuff
And then... ToZX and the fandom tag teamed to the point I cannot stand the character anymore.
The Write Stuff
Not only did she take the spotlight from literally every other character... (for crying out loud, the rest of the crew had better characterization in the NEXT EPISODE SKITS than they did in the entire series)...
The Write Stuff
But in the process they literally took every interesting element of character away.
The Write Stuff
No manipulation from Maltran, she randomly becomes queen, everyone in the kingdom suddenly loves her, she can armatize....
The Write Stuff
It was just. Ugh. And the fandom amplified it all and made it just completely intolerable for me.
The Write Stuff
So, yeah... kind of a rant, but that's where I am with Alisha at this point.
The Write Stuff
Romantic ships - I think she and Sergei would have been interesting together. And for whatever reason, I loved the vibe she had with Clemm, the knight who shows up in the very first episode of ToZX.
The Write Stuff
Like... that first episode wouldn't have been the worst prequel if they hadn't changed the whole story.
The Write Stuff
(I have zero love for ToZX other than pretty animation.)
The Write Stuff
Non-romantic - Edna trolling her never gets old. And going strictly by the game, I love the friendship she has with Sorey.
The Write Stuff
Unpopular opinion is... probably everything I just said, LOL. Game!Alisha is a far better and more interesting character.
I şĥĩp ĩţ
XD I was mad about Maltron too
I şĥĩp ĩţ
and I haven't touched to DLC yet for that reason
The Write Stuff
Also... I see no possibly reality where Alisha, the character who repeatedly refused to take life and hated others doing it, ends up with an ASSASSIN.
I şĥĩp ĩţ
I liked it better where she had the problem of not being able to Armatize 'cuz of not having enough resonance
The Write Stuff
Sorry to anyone who likes the ship, but it's destined to end horribly unless you go with the Great Value version of the characters who appear in the anime.
The Write Stuff
Yeah, me too.
The Write Stuff
I like that she had to make choices and sacrifices.
The Write Stuff
And that she did it for the sake of Sorey too... that's the version of the character that I love.
I şĥĩp ĩţ
the fandom just didn't like that she was introduced and then not in the game for most of it
The Write Stuff
Yeah, I can kinda understand that.
The Write Stuff
At the same time, Rose makes for a much more interesting dynamic with Sorey throughout the game.
The Write Stuff
And I guess that leaves one thing I wish would happen... I dunno. Waking up one day and writing off ToZX as a really bad fever dream?
I şĥĩp ĩţ
but the animation is so pretty!
I şĥĩp ĩţ
UFOTable

The Write Stuff
Yeah, it does look really nice. I just... don't understand why they changed the entire story.

we've talked so much about tall this, but here to say "co-signed" on all of this, regardless
