Who's your favorite and least favorite characters from every tales of game you played

Oh heck, you gonna make me choose? Okay, here it goes--

Symphonia

Fav: it's a tie between Colette and Emil! As for who I like to draw more, that's definitely Colette :P

Least Fav: Yuan. I dunno man, I just don't click with him. I sincerely wish I could love him as much as so many fans do!

Abyss

Fav: call me basic but I love Luke so much

Least Fav: Mohs LOL I don't dislike anyone in the main cast! One of the more solid groups, to me. Mohs can die tho (and did)

Vesperia

Fav: Judith! Don't get me wrong, I love Flynn. But they make him so boring in the definitive version, it's very hard to defend his character there.

Least Fav: Zagi.

Graces

Fav: Sophie!

Least Fav: ngl, it's been a hot minute since I've played Tales of Graces, and a lot of my memories of it are mucked up due to dealing with a toxic relationship at the time. Atm I'd say mix between Cheria and Malik? But I plan to do a new play through of that game some day soon to get a better, fresher feel, I promise. Carry this opinion with a grain of salt.

Xillia

Fav: tie between Milla and Gaius! They're both so awesome, and I LOVE drawing Milla when I get the chance! Gaius especially gets up there after playing Xillia 2.

Least Fav: Presa.

Zestiria

Fav: I LOVE LAILAH I love her so much. But call me basic again, cuz I also really like Sorey and how they characterize him. He's still a basic main character, but there's this small twist to him, y'know?

Least Fav: I had to rewrite this because I legitimately forgot Lunarre existed. Haha! I feel like they just kept him in because they liked his design so much.

Berseria

Fav: why try and put a bunch of bad bitches against each other?

Least Fav: I do, however, have complicated feelings about Kamoana. The role she plays is a good concept, but. That's a child. Put some clothes on her. (also this is a personal thing, but I really can't handle her English voice actor's performance)

Arise

Fav: tie between Law and Shionne!

Least Fav: Vholran.

#long post!#I like doing these!#it's very hard to not go into a tangent tho #surprise that most of the characters I don't like are the villains haha #the small ones especially are just.#ugh.#anyway Arise is very short #I feel like they're very obvious answers but I'm always happy to expand on why!#Tales-of-Sunday #anon #mewnia murps

So regarding this post,

(1ST NOTE - This is a theory based entirely on my own interpretations of the 15 fears. Feel free to take whatever I say here with a grain of salt)

(2ND NOTE - In this post I divide the Web into two focus areas: the Mother of Puppets, who deals with the mental fear and the paranoia of manipulation, and Mr. Spider, who deals with the physical fear and the arachnophobia. If a Fear doesn’t have a huge imbalance between one versus the other, they’re simply connected to the Web)

Here’s the listed version of how the Web connects with the:

Buried - Fairly easy connection, both deal with being trapped and/or unable to escape. (There’s also something called a trapdoor spider which snatches its prey and drags it underground, so I’d say the connection is pretty deeply rooted (pun entirely intended))

Corruption - Also super easy, creepy crawly spiders and the betrayal and manipulation that comes with a truly corrupt society

Dark - Have you tried to catch a spider? The minute you can’t see it, that sucker’s gone. Not to mention betrayal hurts so much more if it completely blindsides you

Desolation - The connection’s a bit weaker, but the ability to truly destroy someone’s loves and hopes and dreams takes some serious string-pulling

End - imo the weakest connection, bc the Mother of Puppets may prefer to play with her victims into eternity, but if those same victims become numb to the fear and feed the Web less and less, it may be better to hand them over to the End and find some fresher meat

Extinction - Because we know so little about how this Fear operates versus the older 14, the connection is fairly weak. However, the special kind of dread that comes with knowing you’ve shot yourself in the foot and you’ll never recover from it is a special kind of self-betrayal the Mother would do good to invest in

Eye - Considering the strong connections with both the Dark and the Stranger (below), you’d think it’d be difficult for the Web to also establish a connection with the Fear specialized in all-seeing knowledge. Then again, the Eye deals with the fear of having your secrets revealed as well as the fear of being watched. The Mother of Puppets can use both of these, while Mr. Spider works better with the latter.

Flesh - Definitely connects with Mr. Spider more than the Mother. Have you seen how a spider consumes its prey? Truly gruesome

Hunt - Spiders are very precise Hunters, though they usually wait for their food to come to them, rather than go after it themselves (though there are a few notable species that rely on ambush Hunting). The Mother, however, is an expert on paranoia, and will force you to play her game until she’s had enough of the Chase

Lonely - Fairly strong connection, as manipulation works best when the victim is isolated from those who want to help them. Plus, spiders are rather solitary creatures in nature

Slaughter - A pretty weak connection, ngl, as the Slaughter thrives on violence for the sake of violence rather than thinking through ulterior motives. Although, doing something “for the thrill of it” is a sentiment I think the Mother could get behind (does she have ulterior motives? If you’re afraid she does, that spiralling rabbithole of conspiracy is her personal 5-star buffet, regardless of whether it’s true). The connection’s there, but it’s a stretch at best

Spiral - Easy connection, because if you can’t even trust your own mind, can you really trust anything? The web pattern design itself also connects really well

Stranger - Jeez, these two are practically attached at the hip; she’s literally the Mother of Puppets. Not only that, but betrayal can come from anywhere, and if it comes from someone you’ve known for years... well, did you really know them?

Vast - As mentioned in the linked post, you have no idea how far that web spreads, or how small a role you play in it.

...And that’s about it. Like I said, pretty much every Fear can feed the Web in some way. However, there are some Fears that I think connect with the Web the most, and they maintain an ultimate feeding operation (intentionally or otherwise) that allows the Web’s intervention in society to remain at a minimum (being a strong reason for why the Web “prefers the world as it is” and doesn’t currently have a known ritual)

Considering this post is long enough as is, I’ll make a separate post later (probably tomorrow) about the Top Chefs of the Web, but for now, I hope you enjoyed my organized ramble.

Take care, have a good
