i really cannot overstate how utterly pathetic gale is. i say this with so much affection and love. it's just so bad. he had a good upbringing. he is a prodigy of magic. very talented, very intelligent, a loving mother. he even has a tressym that looks after him (not the other way around) he's relatively handsome too. he's had other relationships. but he fumbles his own relationship with a goddess (extremely unethical) and traps himself in a tower for a year. he grows out his beard and his cat has to basically force him to be a normal human. he has to eat your magical boots and doesn't tell you why until he feels guilty about it. you find out that not only does he have a BOMB in his chest, it's basically at risk of exploding if he dies and he has special instructions for resurrection. but then you ask, whats with the bomb? and he goes "oh it was because of a failed gift to my ex lover, the goddess of magic?" and feels WORSE about FUMBLING HIS EX than the pain. and then later, one of the most powerful wizards of the land comes to tell him news from said ex. half-way through the game and this bearded old man grips him by the shoulder and says "sonny your ex wants you to kill yourself. sonny boy its for the greater good." AND INSTEAD OF BEING UPSET ? HE JUST CONSIDERS IT? AND YOU HAVE TO TALK HIM DOWN AND SHAKE HIM TO HAVE SOME SELF WORTH BECAUSE HE REALLY WANTS HER TO FORGIVE HIM THAT BADLY!!!!

so you play the game after that and in your menu you have Blow That Wizard Up Option. where in a major or minor battle you can blow him up. but it pretty discouraged to do because it cuts the game off very early if you do it in the second act. but lets say you do it at the Final Boss. you let gale Blow Himself Up. it creates fucking aurora borealis, which doesn't exist in the game. the one he makes for you to share earlier in the game. he is the first and only instance of it ever. and then as if that wasn't enough to make you want to throw up, if you're ROMANCING HIM and he explodes - his fucking hologram finds you!!!!!!!! and says "i can see why i loved you" and you just have to live with that shit forever!!!!! fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
