Line #2 Headscratchers/RadiataStories


1	* Jack's reaction to Ridley's plea if you choose the Human path... seriously, WHAT THE HELL, "Just a rebelious phase"? that's all I get? couldn't they make it so Jack lose track of Ridley and have no choice other that go the the castle or something?
2	** The point is him choosing not to help her, and going to the castle as ordered, though they could have done it a little better. Him losing track of her wouldn't be a choice, it would just be him always deciding to go with her but being forced by the plot not to. However yeah this whole decision is wonky because Jack never actively makes the decision to either side with the humans or non-human's in the war, he either goes with Ridley, and ends up having to get caught up with the elves to save her, or goes to the castle and ends up coming to blows with the elves because he's hunting dragons. The manga at least, handles the Ridley thing better. After realizing Jack was gonna go with her, Ridley deliberately pisses him off with a comment about nobility and his father, so Jack is mad at her and it's more understandable when he decides to leave her alone.
3	** In Jack's defense, aside from a bit of {{Idiot Hero}} syndrome, Ridley wasn't making much sense, going back and forth between talking about her plans and frantically pleading with him to do something to make her feel better. When he goes to put his arms around her to comfort her, she immediately jerks away and brushes him off with an apology and a goodbye. Choosing the Human side likely has him fall back on his brash explanations since it would be the only thing that would make sense for her behavior in his mind since he's also preoccupied with needing to meet Larks.
4	* Ganz's death, in the end of the non-human path, seriously, I'd understand if he had nothing to go back to, but not only did he have Rynka, Cody, and Flau, but his whole life ahead, and instead he just stands there?
5	** Uh, Rynka, Flau, and the rest of humanity are also affected with the whole revising of the world thing. Not to mention, Gawain and Ganz have been separated for sixteen years and then suddenly Gawain dies. Pretty sure there would be nothing anymore for Ganz.
6	** Also, consider every major event that has happened to Ganz up to this point on this path. The Rose Couchon was disbanded and he and Jack expelled for "incompetence" by Jasne; he failed to enter Theater Vancoor and was left to simply wander until falling in with Flau and Rynka; he discovers that the knights of Radiata (Cross especially), his own previous companions and colleagues, were behind the massacre of the dwarves; he joins Jack to find his father and even fight against not only his own race but those he once protected and served as a knight; and said father is killed atop the tower at the City of White Nights while trying to save Ridley from Aphelion. Honestly, by this point, the trauma Ganz has experienced nonstop since the start of the game has likely caught up with the poor man and left him with little desire to go on anymore.
7	* The description for the Wooden Breastplate details its origins, said to be made from the timber of "a magic tree that can be seen from afar, but disappears like a mirage" when one comes close to it. So how exactly is the wood harvested?
