due to my present low mental state im taking a break from suikoden v (too much angst for me to deal with at the moment -_-; ) and started tales of the abyss. ive been meaning to play this for like a year but my general rule for getting games for awhile was that it had to hit the used store before i bought it since new games are so overpriced (the ( Read more... )

She tends to lj-cut all the spoilers, if I remember correctly. And is obsessed with Asch. And totally slash crazy too. Chris is totally crazy. Kinda like you. XDXDXD

I have a question to ask you, but I'll email you instead. Oh yeah, I finally got the dj that you did (since Jae ordered two) and it's totally gorge, wenwen. <333333333

Sweeeeet I'm so glad you're playing it. There's a reason the fandom is like 90% BL fangirl.
Even so there's enough hetero canon shippage to make up for it.
But the innuendo only gets worse as the game goes on.

i really like it a lot just from the beginning, the story and characters~ i am sort of in love with guy and his crazy womanphobia.
man, wtf... i think its that there isnt really BL in this game (i could be wrong, though) and more that there is excessive amounts of innuendo. well, not that i can blame them... i mean there's a whole economic sector of ikebukuro that thrives because of the BL fangirls XD;;;

I dont ship any of the BL pairings in the game, mainly because there are established, WELL established hetero couples that I like and that breaks them up. But fangirls need very very little to ship characters so the innuendo is more than enough fodder to fuel their fires.
Okay,now that I think about it maybe there is one ship that I can get behind, but it doesnt break any established couple up soooo...yeah. I take that back. (I dont think it's canon tho, I dont deluuude myself)

yeah srsly i dont ship BL pairings if one of them is in a canon hetero couple its like HELLO -_-;; itd be like... yuri with keith instead of alice >( of course im sure there's a whole fandom/corner for that at comiket.... i think the tales games always have the main guy and girl in a subtle romance though, i cant remember any that had a viable BL pairing..?
i am still very very saddened by the lack of wonderchef :( maybe they figured there were already enough weirdos just in the main characters alone...

Yes, another player!

I second that you need to talk to aefallen, she's a frightening neighbour to have cos she really hates hated Asch (who's my favourite I converted her) and really loves Luke.

also it is sort of a good thing that you didn't get the JP version? if only because Karma (that Bump of Chicken song) has lyrics that may spoil the entire game for you <3;; and both versions are equally good in terms of voice acting!

I'm planning to replay in JP, which I just acquired; the voices for the skits are more than worth it, but also differences in the voice acting and the latent ambiguity of Japanese making it more gay are... well, bonus. ;)

As for the gay, watch out for Jade. Apart from being flamingly gay most of the time, he doesn't have a het pairing to save him; come to think of it neither does Guy....

hmm i really am trying to keep 100% spoilerfree for this game (i got sui5 spoilered for me and its taking away from the enjoyment of it) so im glad i havent heard the whole bump of chicken song, just that 15 second clip that played during the tv cm XD;;; im still at the beginning of the game though so dont know much about the characters/story so far~
