>ungodly abomination that needs to be put down
i really want to see it now

>the king, black magla
that makes sense.

the ghoulish people all just run away at the end though.
where do they go and will they be back?

>>4204
I think that "by definition" I meant that though he looks visually like "an Elda" (having no other traits) he's still a half-blood. Though the game still calls him an Elda all the way until the end which is a bit annoying.

>>4206
I think some of them did die (there's a lot of covered up corpses in Brilehaven and Grand Trad for example). Some of them may have gone rogue, who knows. Maybe they turned into mob human monsters you find in different dungeons.

the game never really gives the player any reason to think trusting others is bad.
no one ever really lets the player down, except maybe some npcs that don't really affect anything.
npcs start acting crazy near the end.
but some of your bonds and even other candidates also go out of their way to help will garner support during that time frame when the npcs are acting crazy and they even successfully calm a lot of them down.
everyone in your party is loyal.
why would the player want to cull all these people?

even when you have to trust a previously antagonistic figure like joanna, the game rewards the main cast.
there was some question of if she'd even show up to do her part at the brilhaven contest but it's quickly resolved.
she even gives her life up because she trusts the main cast to make a better world (and repay her crimes) and i'd say even her trust was rewarded in that will does make a better world even if his world isn't perfect either.

not necessarily saying the game would've been better to just have everyone betraying each other for no reason, but with how the game's story rewards the party for trusting others it's harder to see louis' pov.
he's basically distrusting because he was betrayed twice.
and that's mainly why he wants to cull most the population (the game does also use the crazy npcs in favor of his argument but it's kinda moot since most of the npcs get calmed down by will supporters. i assume everyone who ended up in favor of will was calmed down).
and louis even still had zorba, who'd do anything for him no matter what.

I have lost ALL respect for this dumbass (lovingly)
>>4202
Could be true, Nonners? I'd bet on an imposter tease sometime soon.
I loved how crazy and dramatic things have gotten. I'm glad the leading boys are back.

lol sebastian is becoming more and more human and it is so cute to see. he's so silly
yana really went for the bpd ex trope… i giggled the whole chapter especially at ciel wanting to know all about sebastian's contractors. jealousy? ♡

>>4209
It's fun to see people meme on it.

>>4056
These are all great points. I think they definitely must've retconned parts of the first two games' lore.
>Also I don’t think that much time actually passed between 1 and 2.
It's been a long time since I played the first games, but I kind of assumed there was like a 20-30 year time difference, and once you factor in the extra years from Aaron/Aria growing up, I was thinking Cecilia had to be at least 40 by the end of RF2. Again, it's been a long time since I played it, so I'm probably misremembering details. It's probably also colored by my bias in assuming that all elves/half-elves age more slowly.
>a slightly older Candy meets Frey in the rune factory 4 manga
I did not know about this! I'd never read the manga, so that's very interesting. It probably hasn't been that much time, relatively speaking. I never assumed it had been, like, centuries between the first 4 games because of stuff like Ethelberd's reappearance, reoccurring characters, etc. I definitely assumed it had been a few decades, though.
>Then again, maybe being an Earthmates cancels out elfyness seeing as Orland can be 1/4 elf and still gets the elf ears while Aria and Aaron never get a hint of elf if you marry Cecilia. But then Micah isn’t a confirmed Earthmate.
I kind of assumed Micah wasn't an Earthmate, but instead, just a half-monster, which let him be good at the farming stuff. Even if he were 1/2 Earthmate, that would throw a wrench in the "cancels out the other species" theory, considering he still vhas the monster traits. I always thought it was weird they never mentioned if Micah was one, though. It's also strange because Raven is a half-monster and has elf/dwarf-ish ears, but Micah doesn't despite them basically being the same species. I know this is all super trivial and nitpicky on my part. The thing with Aria/Aaron and Orland really bothered me (doubly when we consider that Micah and Daria's or Lest and Meg's kids would be 1/2 elf and still don't look like it), but I personally just attribute the inconsistency with the kids to limited character portraits/in-game assets rather than a definitive statement on lore.

I know it came out at some point that the developers gave the characters in 5 ages and Fuuka was 14. I wouldn’t be surprised if that logic was there from the beginning of the games. Like in 2 especially, even the first generation bachelorettes are awfully young, not just by looks but personality. Julia and Yue give off the oldest vibes, while the rest make me think they are still very new adults (Alicia and Rosalind) or even adolescent (Mana and Dorothy) even their rivals match with Ray and Max acting more mature than Jake and Barrett who both act like angsty teenagers. Mana’s a special case. But I genuinely think she’s meant to be super young seeing as Douglas acts like you’re cradle robbing and it’d be weird to act that way if both Kyle and Mana were 18+ imo. Also Dorothy is definitely young and acts even younger than Amber from 4. This all combined with the Fuuka is 14 data mined stuff makes me believe that the characters in 2 are actually meant to look young to reflect their age and not just for chibi style. With that said I think the time between the end of 1 and start of 4 is about 20 years. Ethelberd looks about 40 in 1 and he’s still pretty spry in 4 but clearly older so 60 would track. I feel like 70 would be too old for him to be kicking around that much unless he’s younger than 40 in 1. Which isn’t impossible but that’s a rough 30s if that’s the case.
>just a half-monster
Also I forget Micah is a half-monster. But you’re right, he’s got normal human ears and if Earthmate canceled out halfness, he’d probably not be one anyway. Still annoys me that the halfness wasn’t addressed in 2 or 4 which had ample time to address it seeing as you only have 1 kid in those and it could be a simple flavor text about half(?)-Earthmate children.
>I'm sorry if my post was unclear.
Oh no I meant it more like the developers are connecting them by making dwarves a different flavor of elves.

I was absolutely devastated to learn that Iwasaki, the character designer, didn’t work on GoA. I hope she returns for 6, but I have my doubts. I’m really hoping they’ll at least do more cameo characters in 6 from the older games like Tabatha, Minerva, or Mei returning. Or even the forgotten Marco.

Eito is pretty prime fujo character, I already cried like twice for him kek.
Kodaka's kind of the king of this character archetype because I fall for it every time he does it.

>>4184
holy shit already? the game's barely a month old. I'm not surprised about Eito but I'm definitely surprised over the twins.

Real question is what is their best look? I like the Osokun throwback suits and wish they were worn more. S2 is probably the best proportions, the grey shirt look… they seem a bit bobble headed.

>>4107
I like the deranged monkey-esque expressions from S1 the best. S2 has the better portions though. S3 feels too moeblob and S4 is wonky.

Osomatsu-kun 88 is finally physically available for pre-order from Discotek! I hope they end up doing the 60s series as well.

Never heard of this before but the premise sounds intriguing.

I just finished the Bridon arc and woah the gayness between these two is off the charts, might as well be a BL at this point. I love LG's 'jealous' moments and CXS taking care of him when he was sick.

Also, is the Bridon arc part of the current (S2) timeline or not? I thought for sure it's an earlier loop but I've seen other people saying it's the same loop and I'm completely lost. How many times has LG looped anyway? I feel like it's atleast 3 but definitely not more than 10.

Yup! Char could have chosen happiness. He had all the chances to kill Garma during their academy days, but poignantly did not.

It's even more explicit in the novel, where Sayla mentions that Char used to write her letters, where it seemed like he was forgetting about revenge, and genuinely making friends with Garma.

>>4135
Yes, this! I also like to think that they did have a lot of genuine moments, it's just that the story didn't leave room to show it. The Origin manga is very dense, and cute slice-of-life hardly appears, it's pretty much all suffering and hardship (Even if it's a good story).

There's a cute scene in the manga where Garma asks Char if he was intentionally throwing a test for Garma's benefit, and Char laughing in response. This shows both of them being familiar with each other, Garma has realised by now that Char is a schemer, while Char finds Garma's perceptiveness and lack of self-esteem to be endearing. So he laughs. Notably, he doesn't seem to see Garma's perceptiveness as a threat, despite Garma basically having uncovered his modus operandi.

To cap the Charma off, here's a screencap from Super Robot Wars. Most of us know Gihren's Greed Garma, where Char goes all pissy on Garma asking to be friends again, but the Super Robot Wars one is more interesting imo, because Quattro in Zeta is very looking back on his past with maturity and some self-awareness. And his reaction to Garma's being alive, comes across as startlingly genuine.

Does somebody remember official art of Camille sitting on coach with bare legs like a pin up lady? Was it fanart? It was so hot…

Nvm, I found it as soon as fixed his name kek
It's real, it did exist. He also posed naked. Why is drip marketing not shaped like this in current days

I came across a news post from one of the mobile games while on Xitter and I'm so fucking immature, I've been giggling about this anim for like five minutes now.
