OKAY GOOD IS NOt just ME THAT FUCKING HATED THE WAY SHE WAS INTRODUCED LIKE??? Her body literally looks twisted in a way that it’s almost uncomfortable. Her intro could’ve been done in a much better way I agree

   Her intro is actually reminiscent of a scene from final fantasy 4,
especially when it’s revealed/implies that fernand liked her as well,
giving us that short lived love triangle between the three. Certain
aspects of the game could’ve been done better but overall I actually
really love Echoes    

It’s not just you!

I didn’t know about the scene in FF4, I don’t really venture out much beyond FE honestly!

I really love Echoes too! Honestly it’s in my top 3 FE games! But that doesn’t mean I won’t criticize the things they do wrong ahaha

zldane replied to your posta reminder that I’m still fucking livid about how…

Can I ask why! I love hearing about people’s opinions on games and how they handle things

Sure!

For her introduction, she’s in a prison cell (fine) but she’s literally kneeling in a T&A pose. A) that’s not how people tend to chill. B) she’s talking to someone who is a fellow knight (as far as she knows, one of her closest comrades), with whom she presumably shared a mutual respect. That is not how you greet an equal you think has come to rescue you.

Her being caged, submissive, and sexualized while Fernand is lording it over her really seems like some dumb fantasy of his and not reality. There was literally no legitimate reason to treat someone as vivacious, strong, and confident as Mathilda in that way, so it strikes me as a really bad choice.

In the rest of the game she’s flawless and I love her sooo much and would probably die for her. I think they did a good job with this awesome lady knight but her introduction was handled so poorly by comparison it makes me angry.

As for her ending…I feel like her and Clive’s endings should be switched, it would be much more in line with their personalities!
