The others are there to be generals on the battlefield. I wouldn't consider it a harem. --- Let's go Brandon! <cite>The_tall_midget posted [p:964449875] in What's up ...

Cruddy_horse 04/21/22 1:57:21 AM #12:	Because Anime and by extension JRPGs are marketed almost exclusively to teenagers and teenagers are obsessed over things like sex and having pretty girls at thier beck and call. It's a nerd thing too so it gives them an escapist fantasy to a world where they can have tons of attractive girls and super powers thast let them save the world or whatever the plot calls for. <cite>Cruddy_horse posted [p:964450928] in What's up ...

Entity13 04/21/22 2:24:14 AM #14:	This reminds me, on a semi-related note, how the best party in Wild Arms 2 was the three girls you can get. In many RPGs, I find that having two or three female party members is often the best way to go by endgame. It's been a common trend since the late 90s, I think. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg <cite>Entity13 posted [p:964451244] in What's up ...

Hmm, I don't know about the best party, but then again I don't remember WA 2 that well (Loved 1 and the intro a ton, and I think 2 had a worse battle system (or didn't like it as much). I have to wonder how many people who have been in a long term relationship with a woman would really want a harem though. My wife actually wanted to add another woman for awhile (she was Bi) but I was not into it. I can't imagine having a relationship with like 4+ women, that would be crazy. I guess if you like only see them for sexy times or something lol, but I mean, wouldn't that get old eventually if you have no emotional attachment at all to them? Wouldn't the point of a harem be to actually have relationships with the girls in your harem? Yeah, I'd pass on multiple relationships, maaaaybe, i'd be open to 3 people (if we all cared about each other) anything over that it would take really special circumstances. --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos."
