Really it is. His ghost appearences, in the end we find out it really wasnt him, no depth was given to his character. Ashe was the only who could've developed his character for us if she talked about him, but we were only left with a ghost and one flashback. But it shows that his character did is not meant to be any kind of impact on the storyline, merely a character to support another character. Whenever any kind of discussion takes place, drama always gets pulled in xD people somethimes let their own feelings cloud their judgment. If someone got offended by my own opinion...well, stop listening to my opinion then xP
Pfft, total noobs. I have a couple of friends who don't share a few pairings I do, (minor pairings though, not major) I just never enter discussions regarding them. I still encounter many diverse shippers, but I'm definitley befriend the better lot myself =]
Yeah exactly. When they're beat, they pull the last cheapest move they've got left. I dont even like to acknowledge that kind of reason. Ya know I once came across someone saying that Fran was too old for Balthier. My God, please -_- ....it's a whole different thing for Fran anyways since she's a veira, they have longer lives, and many take her as a young veira as she does look young so she could be equivilent to a hume girl in her early or mid 20s, but with far greater knowledge of course. Be it early 30s if it's so, age should not be a limit in love. Yes, exactly, the whole judge thing serve a better arguement. Basch and Ashe is love, he's probably been around since she was a little squirt, just adds to how deep the love could go.
Heh, really? Same here. I keep my status offline mostly cuz whenever i get online, I get attacked xD many random people tryin to talk to me, even weirdos i dont even know who just add me. Piece of advice, never add a pakistani dude unless you know him or his nick isnt some corny line about love. I swear, some Paki guys can be so desperate xD They're not all like that i assure you, but its those desperate kind that are MSN-ing constantly lookin for a girlfriend. If another guy wants to try and flirt with me, I say they learn proper english first! xD
I believe thats a scene from the ending right? I havent finished the game yet, 72% complete, but I saw a bit of the ending on YT. Heh, I couldnt help myself xP It was during the time I didnt have the game and I thought it'd be ages till I get a DS until my bro whacked me on the head and then I realized we had a DS emulator xD Laughs with him? Ooh I have yet to see that. If only stinkin school would get off my back, I could finally get some time to play >.>

Rasler wasn't an important character at all. If you ask me, his existance is just to bolster Ashe's determination on restoring her country. It's better if there is something tangible and for the gamers to see than just saying that Ashe is fighting for the sake of her country, and that'll make us feel more detached to her character. Those are what I call secondary characters, they serve no specific purpose on their own and are only there for others. As for the main cast, they are there for their own reasons, and to develop into a better person (that's what RPG is mostly about X3). Even without others, they have enough depth of their own :) But yeah, true, don't like, don't listen. I have read a lot of comments that mayb not be msuci to my ears, but then again, who am I to judge unless that person gets offensive. Anyhow, I'm so happy that the idiot that I was talking about left the forums, good riddance O__o
Am I included as the better lot then? XD ::kidding:: But yes, I mean, it's ok to befriend all sorts of people, but to play safe, let's just not try to start on a topic that we know we will disagree. Me, fangirling about Basch/Ashe to a Bal/Ashe fan is a big no-no, and if I hit a blunder in that way, it's my own fault ;) Though, I do expect the same kind of courtesy extended to me as well :3 (I wish XP)
Oh yeah, Fran's too old for Balthier? I might buy it better if someone says that Balthier couldn't match up to Fran and feels low self-esteem. (I always thought that the reason why Balthier is what he is now is because he wants to live up to Fran's high expectations, which made Fran roll her eyes at him XD) Still, yes, she's a young Viera, and Balthier hates the silly people that bring up the age topic (look how offended he is when Vaan said it, he looks more angry than Fran herself ;)
For Basch/Ashe, well, personally, I don't quite believe in love at first sight, attraction, yes, Love, well, not exactly, and the thing is, Basch/Ashe, like Balthier/Fran goes way back, and if true love were to blossom, it would grow in that manner. Not those, hit and run sort of relationship :P Besides, I always thought that Ashe has a immense, incurable crush on her captain when she's younger. And it grow into something else, but quite unrequired, due to Basch's lacking the romance department and their social standing. Ashe doesn't care, but Basch just won't start a liason and ruin the princess, who is the most important thing to him... So yeah, I don't buy the instant love card, it's love, not noodles XP
LOL, I dar not simply add people that I don't know, cause the last time I did, my entire MSN broke down and shut off itself, and then, there's this virus infection that attacks all those on contact list :( But whoa, that desperate... XP Oh well, I don't think I can live with a long-distance relationsip anyway XD Too bad for them ^^
Yup, a scene from the ending ;) Oh, I don't want to spoil you but people have lots of intepretation about the looks that Ashe gives to some other dude as well. But c'mon, she smiled at Basch, whether for love, or acknowledgement, she addressed him first. So, what does that mean? His personal opinion obviously matters the most to her XDD I'm probably going to replay the english version again, I've long completed the japanese version, but I could never be bothered in playing the english one after that. Still, I might replay it again... just to kill time XP And heheh, good siblings, always there to remind us of our silliness and impose their brilliance XP

Wrong thing at the wrong time? Lol, well sometimes I have a tendency to do things when I'm suppose to be doing something. And that mostly happens when I'm studying for an exam. One minute I'm studying, suddenly an idea pops into my head and the next thing I know I ditch my books and start on the idea. But then after after a while I'll realize I have an exam tomorrow and then I'll quickly rush back to my books xP And that usually happens 2 or 3 times while I'm studying, lol. Bad habbit.
In the beginging I didnt like Rasler at all, mostly cuz I was a fan of Ashe/Basch, I was being noob-ish about. But I realized it wasn't fair just to hate a character because you prefer his girl with someone else. So I came to like Rasler after a while. Rasler/Ashe? Well it's not like I could ignore it, it's part of Ashe's past, but it's not I'm crazy about but I don't hate it. Baschu and Ashee all the way x3 But yeah, his character is just there for a minor purpose, he really has nothing to do with the story.
Lol, of course you are hun! ^_^ Personally, if a friend started fangirling/boying on Bal/Ashe, I wouldn't really mind I mean it's our choice and fun, I have no place to ruin that for them. But if their being rude, and begin bashing other pairings, and that's completely different. Yes have to careful when making friends cuz sometimes choice of ships/fandom and all that becomes a determinant for some friendship, but I'm quite against that. In the end, we're fans of the same game no?
Actually I never thought about it like that but I like that theory. Fran did once stat in RW how Balthier was quite childish xP
Lol, yes who could forget that momment xD From his expression you could really see the frustration.
Love at first sight. Really don't an opionion about. Maybe it could happen, maybe not. Ashe as a child having a crush on Basch, is so cute x33 Very believable actually. Ah Basch is such a noble heart. Duty, honor, nobility, blah blah blah xD But that really does show how much he cares not to put Ashe in a chancy situation.
Ah that's good. There are lots of creepy people out there in the world of the InterWeb >.>
Would this other person be Balthier? I think there's a scene where the two are talking on top of the Galbana. Haven't reached that scene yet though. Ya know I really don't get Bal/Ashe. They way I see it, in the begining they possibly did not take quite a liking to each other (mostly Ashe, didnt seem to fond of Balthier especially after he took her ring) but as the story progressed, they came to an understanding seeing as they both come from similar worlds. Both are of noble families and endured hardships. Balthier chose to leave and run what was bestowed on him (being a Judge and all that), and Ashe, well she cannot run from her duties. And it could be seen how he become more involved with the story instead of simply being an observer. So he was of course there to help Ashe as well, being as he as much involved as she was. I believe that Ashe, Balthier and Basch were most connected with the storyline. Dalmasca, Dr. Cid, Gabranth (did I spelt that right? <.<), respectively.
I hate it when Bal/Ashe shippers use the ending as a 'sign', the whole calling out to Balthier thing. Please...I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but honestly, were it Vaan or Basch in Balthier's place, Ashe's reaction would've been the same. Of course she wouldn't want Balthier to die, she wouldnt any of her companions to die, not after all they've been through together.Oh and that whole thing of Balthier looking annoyed when Al-Cid was talking to Ashe, it was obvious he could not tolerate someone else 'attempting' to be cooler than him xD
Oh, forgive me for reply late. Exams and all, keeping me busy x.x
