My honest feedback is to not focus your writing Ignis as ro. If the readers know what will happen in the end, they will not romance her, you are gonna waste your time on route not a lot of people will choose.
Yeah, makes sense, as Ignis is not really an RO, not in the traditional sense atleast
Wait what
/reads topic/
Damn, Iâve just played the demo for the first time, romanced Ignis and now I see this :'D
Welp, it was good while it lasted, at least I got to read the âwrongâ version of Chapter 4 scene
Im confident the author can pull it off, but I would advise caution. If too much work goes into Ignis and she ends up as the best written character in the game, it will only lead to more frustation when people figure out that her romance is doomed.
I wouldnât worry too much if I were you, though I understand your advice. The reason Ignis gets this much attention early on is because her character is pretty important for certain plot developments that are coming (sheâs a weird mix of a Morality Pet and a Morality Chain, as it happens), but thatâs not really going to⌠last, so to say, once certain revelations come to light.
I donât know if Iâve said it here before, but Akiâs the character that everyone should be looking out for. After the PC, sheâs the closest thing to a âMain Characterâ in this narrative.
Way ahead of you.
Yep Akiâs is the challenge I will try. Honestly she is the one that should be watched as things develop especially how things stand between her bodyguard and her self
So, I was looking at the character art again, and I just noticed V and Seeker both have rings around their necks (also their jackets match but one assumes thatâs just a Seeker thing). @Jjcb Before V⌠stopped being the Seeker, were her and our current Seeker married? Youâve said they were romantically involved. Are they still married? I feel like this might be an issue for/with Ignis if so.
Alternatively, are the rings somehow involved with being the Seeker? Do they contain any sort of power? Or is this just a little design similarity Iâm reading way too much into?
ALSO:
Are Ignis and V wearing the same earrings? Itâs hard to tell but that looks like the same little gold star design.
Good eye.
More âlived togetherâ than marriage, really. They didnât follow the traditional route, and if you had anyone examine the ceremony, most countries wouldnât recognize it as legitimate.
That depends on who you ask. From Kratisâs point of view, they are.
Victoria doesnât disagree.
No, the definer of âbeing Seekerâ is the massive sword.
They are, though this is a hint of the future, as opposed to a hint of the past like the rings.
Well, this sounds like it could be considered a common-law marriage in certain jurisdictions, but presumably wherever they lived didnât do that.
So⌠uh⌠how does Ignis fit into that? I would hope heâs not the kind of guy who would cheat on his wife, for everyoneâs sake. I feel like its gonna be a massive clusterfuck if the MC is romancing Ignis and the gang meets Victoria.
Theyâre both gonna be revealed to be aliens from the stars, clearly.
Well, Kratis doesnât know where he was born, but yes, Victoriaâs birth country uses civil law.
They didnât marry in either of those countries, though.
If he was, they would already be in a relationship, but Kratis is not that sort of person, and thatâs more to do with Victoria than any âsocietalâ upbringing or biases or anything.
Kratis has a pretty⌠primitive view of certain parts of human society, despite being the most world-weary League member.
âHe is Victoriaâs, and Victoria is hisâ is how heâs always seen things, which is part of the issue with Ignis, because he canât make her fit within his worldview. Very much a âI gave Victoria my soul, how come you also have it?â situation.
He wants Ignis, but he is already Victoriaâs, and this is a situation he never experienced while he was with Victoria, thus he doesnât know how to act, and soâŚ
He just doesnât. Kratis acts in accordance with what Victoria would do (as Chapter 5 shows). Victoria hasnât dealt with a situation like this, he hasnât seen her deal with a situation like this, and so he just hides himself away from making a decision- because Victoria is the basis upon which he makes his decisions.
As you can imagine, this leads to issues, something Victoria will become keenly aware of once they reunite, and struggle to correct.
I know how the League is meeting Victoria.
âClusterfuckâ is a good word to use for it.
I told you, Victoria is the Sun, Kratis is the Moon, and Ignis is the Earth.
Not my fault you all thought that was a metaphor.
So we live on Ignis, cool
And the mc and Lat are also possessed by some sort of Star Trek esque energy aliensâŚthat is my mcâs theory and that is what he is sticking to, unless we get definite proof of something else.
i hope i donât sound like a jerk but some of the characters donât seem like good people i donât know maybe i need to read it again great story tho
Wow Seeker really have it all. Why are the mc and Lat needed though if Seeker is there, cause I feel like he alone could singlehandedly do anything.
Seeker is the main character confirmed
Will V be available as a RO in the future? Kinda like how she looks and she looks interesting to be with.
Yeah, seems like an interesting character. Wouldnât hurt have as an RO⌠actually it would be fucking AWESOME
Imma just go ahead and break your heart gang it aint happening
Lets Just say she got the moon and the earth by her side
