Alright, so... The quotes (at least from the story map I\'m playing) seem to have given me the impression that buys into the whole \"a kid playing dress up\" kinda thing, like she wanted to seem more mature. Her description even mentions her curiosity for the festival. Plus her confession quote, from what I\'ve seen from the datamine as well, I think mentioned how since she\'s an empress and all, she\'s likely not gonna choose her love, political marriages and all, but that she\'d want to choose who to love just like a normal person.
For reference, here\'s Sanaki\'s quote:
---> \'\'\'Sanaki\'\'\' : I am the 37th Empress of Begnion. It is for this purpose I was born and to this end I was raised. I am different from the common person... So my wedding, too, will be different from the common person\'s. My groom will not be chosen based upon feelings alone. However, I think my desire to be with someone I love... Is the same as any other person\'s... Spending this time with you has allowed me to realize this. And someday, when I, too... H-hey, you better not tell anyone I\'m telling you all this! This is our secret, got it?! *ahem* Understood?
I\'m not exactly sure where the \"developing feelings for the summoner\" part comes from unless I interpreted that differently. Is it how spending time with the summoner helped her realize what love is? I don\'t know, I just saw that as her thanking the summoner for [[HeroicMime somehow]] giving insight to Sanaki on what love is. The summoner and Sanaki are from literally two different worlds after all. Maybe because of how flustered she is? Perhaps because of her station she\'s just not used to expressing gratitude or what can be seen as vulnerability, hence her apparent embarassment. Regardless, since the summoner doesn\'t even speak, it\'s very easy to see this as \"Sanaki now knows what love is because she likes the summoner\" and that\'s the issue, right?
I don\'t know. I\'m really trying to see it differently (like... a kid playing dress up, a young empress who\'s fated for political marriage, but is curious what love would be like between people if she wasn\'t royalty), but there\'s been enough outrage that simply having her in this wedding dress is already giving enough UnfortunateImplications and I\'d wonder if any amount of ingame explanation (or if you want to look at it another way, backpedaling) would make people see it differently too.
