Rinoa isn't even good looking. Demon nose from hell <_<
Being given dialogue options that allow you to undermine and contradict aspects of the story that can't be affected *is* sloppy. It doesn't matter if you can expect that it won't change the ending, that doesn't change the fact that some guy with the IQ of a moderately clever cucumber thought to himself "Hmm, we have this story idea, what could make it better...I know, let's make half the players see a less coherent version of it"
