#i havent finished most tales games if im being honest. mostly because i played a lot of them in japanese and that was a struggle

[kohakhearts]

Raine Sage for 1, 14. Colette for 18. And um. (Trying to remember which Tales games you like, haha.) Milla for 10?

thank you!!! wow this one was kind of tough, i may be due for a symphonia replay lol

1: why do you like or dislike this character? (raine)

i like her because she’s an icon honestly. she’s weird about the things she loves and she makes it everyone else’s problem and that is legendary behaviour tbch. i also think her backstory is SUPER compelling and i actually kind of love the idea of taking a lifelong fixation due to Trauma and turning it into something positive, idk. the writing could’ve been better but you could say that for most tales games lol

14: assign a fashion aesthetic to this character. (raine)

cottagecore popped into my head first so i’ll commit to that

18: how about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire? (colette)

colette and zelos have SUCH an interesting dynamic and i love their parallels a lot (something about the way colette becomes an angel to help everyone and loses her consciousness in the tower of salvation vs. how zelos does it to help himself/his sister and the first time we see him be fully honest about his intentions is in the tower of salvation (per the kratos route, anyway)). the “two chosens” skit also lives rent free in my head, just like…the way zelos says he could never be like her. and she really does think he’s a better person than he is because she thinks everyone is better than they are lol but one thing i love about their dynamic is how like…zelos’s fate depends on lloyd’s trust in him, but the one other character in the party who seems to trust him at all is colette - and she does that way before lloyd does! but for zelos it doesn’t feel authentic i guess, because she trusts everyone. and idk i just think that’s a super interesting part of their dynamic that the game doesn’t touch on much

10: could you be best friends with this character? (milla)

tbh the xillias are some of the only tales games i haven’t played, but based on spin-offs and stuff i’m going to say yes. i think she has a sense of adventure that i would appreciate as a closet thrill seeker lmao
