NBIceman 02/26/20 1:16:54 PM #46:	Indeed it is, and speaking of cringey... #91 - Jay (Legendia) You fight because you have something you want to protect. It doesnt matter whether or not you can win. All five of these first eliminations were legitimate contenders for last place, but honestly, the trio of main heroines were in a class of their own. Suzu escaped that sub-tier because, upon reflection, I realized that while shes every bit as worthless of a character as the Roses and Shirleys of the world, shes not nearly important or relevant enough to actively detract from the greater narrative the way they do. And Jay is the same way. Jay has no redeeming qualities. His design is an absolute eyesore that doesnt fit with the rest of the game at all. Hes not fun to play as because Legendia battles are bad and his fighting style is dumb. I hate his voice. I hate the way he sits when hes on the ground. I hate his hair. Hes not funny. His backstory is dull and overly tropey. He exists only to provide annoyingly convenient information so the story can proceed and he can be smug about it. Even his fondness for the Oresoren, the one indication that he actually has some kindness in him, isnt explored enough to matter. Hes just an asshole that everyone forgives for being an asshole because hes really just not good at expressing his feelings. Seriously, I lost count of how many times one of the other party members said something along these lines. Its the most prevalent example of Legendias overbearing tell, dont show problem. Theres plenty of characters in Tales that really do come off as generally nice people that simply have trouble showing it. And thats without the rest of their respective parties directly saying it every five minutes. Jay never comes off like that. His jabs feel genuinely mean-spirited and until the last couple of hours of the game, he always seems to think hes plain better than the rest of the group. He mistreats Moses even worse than everyone else does and for absolutely no good reason, and no amount of dialogue gymnastics at the end of his Character Quest that try to tell everyone theyre really like brothers makes it feel true. He adds nothing to the party dynamic and contributes very little to the overall story outside of the aforementioned intelligence network. Just terrible. TL;DR: Awful in every way. Unfunny, unlikable, uninspired. Only climbs off the bottom of the scrap heap because hes also, comparatively, unimportant. --- https://imgur.com/UYamul2 Spurs - Yankees - Eagles - Golden Knights <cite>NBIceman posted [p:934905595] in Iceman Ran...
