LRT: I didn't talk much or at all about Eden's storyline but yeah I unfortunately didn't enjoy some of the creative decisions that were made in E8...let's talk about it

(I have coffee, long thread ahead)

I wanted an emotional scene with Ysayle and not with Shiva! Yes, her story with Hraesvelgr is tragic and she is an iconic boss, but I didn't go on a journey with her! We didn't share an emotional moment! She didn't sacrifice herself for me! That was all Ysayle, my friend!

Even if we HAVE to go through the boss fight as it is, a small trip down the memorial lane before or after the fight would've been cool too!

If I had a tin foil hat, I'd wonder if there is some unresolved tension around Ysayle's character that results her being kept in the bg

Aside from our robbed Ysayle moment, one could hit me with the "(maybe) of legal age" boxing gloves as much as one want

but I will still feel iffy watching a minor getting anime style nakey-nakey and wearing costumes that are mostly considered as sexually appealing clothing

Also the whole thing with Ryne/Shiva's boss appearance in E8S

That's the design you consciously chose while taking measures to prevent unappropriate m*ding pics of her?

Not insiuating they had questionable intent

Just the whole "making a minor appear older to let them wear revealing clothes"&"looks/acts like a child but is 200 years old" anime shtick to give viewers "fanservice" makes you think twice about things like this

Just saying that her ethereal/angelic look and the focus on her pure, intimate relationship with our white draggo friend there could've been depicted other than
uh
that

(also they give me a strong Eve&Serpent vibe)

Oh well, I don't want to take up your whole TL, so I will end this thread here. Just scratching my head over some of the decisions the team made and a bit sad that my expections regarding Ysayle for the fight weren't fullfilled :<
