What a spectacularly horrible excuse for a character, let alone a main heroine. Its hard to know where to start with Shirley. Maybe that ear-bleeding squeak that she calls a voice? Its been months since my last playthrough of this game and I can still hear her shouting Senel! in my head. And it was intentionally that way! It gets deeper when she Or how about the fact that her entire role for the first three-quarters of the main story is to get kidnapped over and over and over? And then it even happens again in the Character Quests when shes supposed to not be deadweight anymore. Its like a running gag except Im quite sure it wasnt meant to be anything of the sort. Really, though, none of that matters. What matters is that shes the only playable character in the series who They try to wrap her up in this adorable little bow by giving her a cutesy design and making her all dorky in the Character Quests and making her the Oh, I just want to be everyones friend and if we just talk through our differences Im sure well get along girl and giving her an eventual bond with the other girls, and it just doesnt work. Too much damage has been done. Sure, shes not a jilted goddess on the edge of sanity anymore, but she is still a clingy, jealous girl for no good reason. And everybody treats her like shes amazing. Like, why is she the one talking Chloe off the ledge during Chloes Quest? Chloe barely knows her at that point. Their relationship is somewhat heartwarming by the end, but the lead-up feels so forced, because everything with Shirley feels forced. And shes not even good in battle. Casters are worse than melee fighters in Legendia to begin with, and the attempt to make her a hybrid just ensured that she was especially poor. Most of her spells are already known by the other mages in the party and she doesnt learn unique ones until veeeery late in the Character Quests. She contributes nothing. The party is better without her in it, but its not like shes a good supporting character or TL;DR: Laughable main heroine. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights ...
