Ngl after just about every arcadian person I remember interacting with being an unrepentant villain I would enjoy nothing more than for the Arcadian people and their knowledge of the spirit bindy magic whatever to just disappear entirely

What about Yu? (And Eli, if they count as Arcadian)

The author mentioned that he took a lot of inspiration from the Hosted Game A Study in Steampunk, and I can see a lot of the similarities between them:
- a clergy that practices healing magic (the sun-worshippers and the Jovian clergy)
- an early injury that decreases one of the stats
- investigative/mystery feature (moonvein and the Merdel village arc)
- two main opposing nations, and the theme of patriotism/national loyalty, oppressed peoples, resistance
The Jiasei arc and festival seems like a bit of a homage to Samurai of Hyuga, but I haven’t really played it, so I’m not too sure about that

Damn. Rip Jania, Alfon, Catarina, Myst, Barza, Ayra, and all the other Arcadians who gotta die because Tahlia sucks. 
Jk. If it comes down to it, detonating Param is infinitely the better choice imo. Looking at the history, Param just needs to go. Cause there’s no reforming these systems. Just gotta start over again.

If yu is one of the companions they deserve death, eli too for supporting tahlia
Idk who any of those people are, but if they’re arcadians it’s better for the whole world if they’re gone. No more arcadians, no more potentially world destroying blood magic demon people.
Yes, because param has never done anything to cause people to hate them. Like burn us live and the throw food at us after we saved. Can you stop with all the arcadinas are monster and param are angels? Both sides suck stop acting like one is more evil than the other.

I think killing every single Arcadian man, woman and child would be very bad and also genocide, actually. That is literally worse than what Tahlia wants for other nations.

Lowkey laughing because Jania and Alfon are recurring side characters we saved twice. And they STILL gotta go. 
Edit: Jania and Alfon are recurring side characters who are kids. Barza is too. All three are important core memories for the mage. It’s a little weird to NOT know Barza because he’s repeatedly mentioned by name. Jania and Alfon are a little more forgettable only if you literally don’t interact with Saine on the WF day off.

I think poor Eli isn’t completely at fault, mainly because Tahlia is literally holding all the cards to her troops. I mean Yu at some point even said something about Tahlia reading MC mind especially when you get to that ‘reunion’ part of the story in book 2 even the MC could panic about the consequences well if you don’t follow no ro route or left the festival early and have that reunion. She monitors people too since MC got the option of even telling Tahlia off on not spying on them, she knows where everyone is Yu, F, Eli, MC, and the others clearly…rather stalkerish of her too, which is the reason why she is Thaubal 2.0 on the meter of disturbed(if she was one of the kids in Thaubal program then she definitely learned some bad traits or heard of them). If you try and flee after saving Eli you can even figure you have no choice in that matter too just like being silenced in telling Leon the truth…starting to think Tahlia might had dipped her hands in a lot in book 1 and Miriel was the distraction…it’s like you’re compelled to have no choice and the others just follow because of it, either they saw it happen or had it happen. Made it seem like we have choice yet we don’t and knowing we wouldn’t be able to tell someone outside the party about anything because she could easily make it so we can’t. She literally manipulative either through blackmailing or brainwashing by feeding into their desires and fears. Really I feel like most in her group wouldn’t be with her by choice but more out of fear or blinded by rage woven to make them stay. If anything F don’t feel like the type to just follow the rules but we see them that way but to me it feels more focused on a single goal is why…what better way to nab someone with laser focus on something to feed into so that they can do whatever I want in the end and be indebted to me type of thing. F=debts need to be paid and following through with them only to rack up more woven by Thalia, she good at what she do making you feel like you had choice making you run in circles…think you paid off your debt not noticing the interest behind it meaning more problems built to ‘fix’…how far is she gonna go?

The edge is strong with this one. Holy shit, take a chill pill.
Why do we keep talking about blowing up Param? Nobody said we were blowing up Param. Not even Thalia said that.

Sometimes people just wanna watch the world burn. 
The best fireworks in a front row seat and kicking back on a perfect night at the bonfire. 
Come on…it’s enticing with all the MC had to go through, embrace the insanity of it all.

I mean by that logic I guess the Mage gets to light themselves on fire again? What’s important to remember is that the vast majority of arcadians probably have no actual association to the whole blood power soul binding nonsense that Tahlia and the old nobility were proud of. I’m not a fan of the Arcadian cause that Thalia supports. But that’s where I draw the line. The Arcadians en masse are treated horribly with there being secret orders of nobles whose soul purpose it is to kill as many as possible.
No side in this conflict is blameless and no side is innocent. However, like all squabbles between those in power, the people who truly suffer are those who have no actual authority or power. If you want to hate Leon and the Paramai people for jumping the gun and creating a martyr out of the same person they cheered at when they burned alive than feel free to do so. But also remember that there are plenty of people like Aunt Bess in Param as well. You want to hate the Arcadians for forcing the MC to fight for a cause they don’t believe in and radicalizing children to become future soldiers, feel free to do so. But remember the children they take are those who are experimented and tortured just for being a certain origin, the hate doesn’t come from nowhere.

I cant wait to make Param burn. And for the shock Ilya will have at realizing I’m alive and I’m on a mission to destroy everything in my path.

Imagine advocating genocide for your own race because of da-
…
I propose a euthanasia plan. We stop Arcadians from being born so they won’t suffer. A peaceful authentication for the race.
Anyway bleh. Not gonna make a decision like that based purely on numbers. Besides if we’re including the mc in that than definitely no. Totally would screw the world over to live.
Anyway I can’t say I like either side, Panam in general, and Arcadia specifically with Thalia which is why motivation is about the phantasms right now, also the extreme ideals seems like a mostly Thalia thing and deposing one is easier than the a government reform for the kingdom.

Nobody said that
But a lot of the stuff Param has done was to secure Arcadian demon magic.
No demon magic, no trafficking rings making WMDs
I think removing the ability for Param to gain control of WMDs outweighs the feelings of those very unstable WMDs
You all hate Param so much but seem to have no problem with them having a chance of getting their hands on nukes. Its not even the state that’s been working on them, it’s rogue aristocrats who’ll definitely use them to cause even more violence.
Did you just imply I’m some sort of blood traitor 
I’m no Arcadian nor friend to Arcadians, savvy?
