Okay but look how clean and shiny that floor is, nice.

god I miss these two

^^wasn't the framing device of those that they're Adminstration-sponsored docuramas and naturally duly gloss over or leave out parts that would be particularly embarassing to the organisation?

^Specter would be the only one that isn't pure crack (Skadi repeatedly tried to behead Grani basically for no reason during Knights' Treasure) and memery (orca theme, penguin, joke writes itself) so, yeah. Their personal issues aside, ie. Spec being clinically insane and Skadi being a sullen brooding edgelord, they clearly share a background and looking after the crazy nun seems to be Golfer Girl's main reason to stick with Rhodes.

Add Specter and... voila.

My word is this just mind-blowing...

I love the dark and slightly twisted tone combined with Yachiyo's gentleness. Also the fact that they both look a bit older here.

^ Spectre is an AoE, so she could do both of them, right?

^free Science PenguinMagallan's hands and you could add toys ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <3

Lovely.

I really was shipping them. But for me this game was not so good. Story confusing and gets boring and most of the characters are so stereotyped. But you can ship Rita and Estelle really good!

Yeah, the story is a weird mix of over complicated and too simple.

I like.

Tomoe and Kaoru & Lisa and Moca are a no for me but other than that, MY SHIPS

It totally did, you’re her f*ckin sun.

That's cute

blissfully wholesome

angry but in love

Ch2 of this matches this pic really well at a couple parts

It's the only Tales game I've played so I wasn't too put-off by the gameplay. After spending 3485394 years grinding for 1-2 bosses in EVERY OTHER JRPG EVER, this was a nice change of pace. Yuri's a fairly unique protagonist, especially in Japanese media, Estelle is an absolute sweetheart who is the exact opposite of street smart, and Rita is the introverted cave goblin we all know we are. I think the world's fairly interesting with lots of different locales and story beats that make sense. There's commentary on the flaws of justice systems and laws.

And I cannot stress this enough how insanely healthy and charming the relationship between Rita and Estelle is. It's subtext, but like barely. If it was made today, they'd be gay. One of the unique things about Vesperia is that the two opposite-sex leads are only platonic. Estelle has the most chemistry with Rita and Yuri has the most chemistry with Judith, who is honestly more on his intellectual level than Estelle. The dynamics between the characters is really great, especially when you start unlocking each of the dialogue sequences. It's long-ish, but I burned through my first run of it in less than a week because I couldn't put it down. I loved it so much. Even years later, Ristelle is in my top 5 pairings of all time because their dynamic is unbeatable. I'd seriously recommend this game to anyone, especially any yuri (pun intended) fan. You might need a guide for certain sequences, though, to unlock all the dialogue scenes.

So, what did Estelle find in Rita's drawer?
