For context, I quit the game after losing the 50/50 to Rina on Jane's banner

Rainbow Quartz (Emerald x Ilia)

I think they could relate to each other a lot, and also they would be super cute together

Still, them being mostly blank slates save for a few details set in stone (looking for sibling, having a stellaron, etc.) is what enables that. The more clearly defined a character, the harder it is for people to treat them as a self-insert

With how the fandom treats them, I respectfully disagree

And honestly, it's even hard to keep the writing consistent with "blank slate" characters like that. I see it a lot with Genshin's Traveler where one quest they'll be like "you have a problem? sure I'll help" and then the next one it's"well you're not my sibling so idgaf"

A dziękuję 😌

And honestly, the order is not very set in stone beyond the top 3 (DRV3, HI3, NieR: Automata)

After I first watched V1-3, Weiss was my favorite

By the end of V5, Yang took the crown from her, I think it was mostly seeing her pick herself up after Beacon, and become so much more mature

The Raven-Yang talk in the Vault at the end of V5 is still one of my favorite scenes

You know, I appreciate when people use AI art in video thumbnails because it lets me know even without clicking on it that they have nothing to say that's worth listening to
