Considering you took a portion of my first statement about Ante and ran with it, just saying that OF COURSE she’s racist, and not the rest of it, which talks about Leon having more than one advisor, I can conclude that you didn’t read any of the statements at all.
It’s okay to be an Ante supporter. I’m not going to crucify you. As for others’ opinions? Certainly did not have time to read everyone’s so no.
I don’t know.
As none of us is the author, no one knows exactly how this conflict between Param and Arcadia ends until he writes it.
I don’t think people here fully hate Arcadians or are trying to ignore their struggles. Most of the problems simply stem from Thalia’s leadership, which is who people mostly are annoyed by. Enslavement is still always bad no matter the reason for it, and it’s natural for people to be more concerned about their MCs wellbeing and empathize with them in this situation. Of course one person’s struggle isn’t compared to an entire group of people, but it’s still a struggle nonetheless and MC was still forced into fighting for them, no matter whether they agree with Thalia or not.
I also never said that “genocide” was evil, but I’m willing to bet you didn’t think I was praising the Paramis when I said they did it, because words have connotations built into them.
I mean I suck at names - it’s honestly a miracle I remember he rules Silcur, and that’s only because of the Silcur Massacre. Which, coincidentally, was done by a different noble (who, by the way, murdered a bunch of Arcadians and was STILL allowed to rule over the survivors). So there’s another noble whom we’re never told has any political influence beyond his own lands.
I think this would be cheating, honestly*, because the other two relevant countries (the Empire doesn’t count, what with being in a different continent and all) aren’t monarchies, but you’re hired by a Yotai noble to kill another Yotai noble. Mireil was a duchess. The MC is also a Salantiran noble (I presume, considering their mother had an estate and retainers and all). I think Thaubal was also a noble?
Nooo, I’m not an Ante supporter (I presume that by supporter you mean “she’s good people”?). If we run up against each other in combat I’m ending her, but I’m not going out of my way to kill her. Which is basically the same approach I have to Leomar, and I’m sure nobody here would accuse me of being a Leomar supporter.
What was the last time you heard “oh, they’re a Blood Mage? They must be best people.”?
*clarification: I think taking you up on this without the disclaimer would be cheating ON MY PART, because those nobles are the actual political power in those kingdoms and are therefore given more relevance whenever you go there
Genocide is easily read as evil (as it should be) because of its very definition. Blood magic on the other hand isn’t necessarily evil and it’s fine if you interpreted it as that, but since it was already confirmed that it wasn’t meant to be read that way, I don’t think that it could be used in an argument.
I just don’t really see blood magic as an inherently evil thing. It’s moreso just a different type of magic to me, which seems to be different to how you view it and that’s fine! Of course you could take it that way, but once it’s clarified to not be that way there’s not really a reason to use it as an offence towards Arcadians anymore.
Honestly, I don’t think anyone doesn’t want Arcadians to be free. I think when someone says they’re against modern Arcadia, they’re more-so saying they have a problem with Tahlia and her plans specifically. No one just wants Arcadians to eat shit and die.
Yeah… Thalia is super trash. Bringing someone back from the dead to force them to do your bidding is always gonna make me dislike someone lol. I’m quite a forgiving person, but that? Nah. And why the hell would my MC, who DIED to save all those people, then agree to come back from the dead and kill them? Like, just send my MC back to wherever tf in the afterlife she was if that’s how it’s gonna be
Btw, I’m confused. Are people debating whether or not genocide is a bad thing?
I’d definitely be more interested in helping the Arcadians if the plan wasn’t basically “Destroy Param.” And I can’t get jiggy with how blindly people seem to be following Thalia.
I’d like to point out that the plan is not to destroy Param. If I had to summarize I’d say the plan is to weaken Param to place Arcadia higher in the political landscape. And I also don’t think that people follow Thalia blindly.
The plan isn’t “destroy Param.” The plan is “get rid of the Parami royal bloodline”, because that’s how you get rid of the magic-cutting sword. Possibly, if you can get your hands on the sword, it shouldn’t be particularly hard to talk Thalia into not giving a crap about the DOA state of the Parami royals, because (as far as we know) she isn’t personally invested in either of them.
Nobody is “blindly following Thalia”. It’s just that Thalia is trying to get Arcadians to not be genocided any more, and that’s a good thing, and since the only way that’s presented to us in-game to do that is currently “do what Thalia says”, well…
No, but there ARE people trying to come up with excuses for it, by making things up wholecloth.
Well, I feel like your points are wrong considering the canon. Another war will not be beneficial for anyone of we’re talking about destruction. Not to mention that Arcadia doesn’t have sufficient resources in comparison to Param. Arcadia’s goal is to kill the royal family which is a huge yikes but the country will not cease to exist anyway.
Ant I don’t believe I’ve seen a single person simping for Thalia, so don’t see where that came from. Everyone with eyes can see that she is dangerous and, well, exploits MC for Arcadia’s goals.
if you look at it from Arcadians point of view then Tahlia is being Patriotic and a fine leader to arcadians
it all boils down to whether she has an ulterior motive or not ( which i assume she does and is related to the exceptional power the MC has )
