I really see Lloyd and Rixia working romantically along with Ellie. Falcom has been iffy on the whole thing and loves teasing with his harem. *looks at Noel* They’re relationship with eachother is honestly sweet since they represent the sun and moon, and are two sides of the same coin. Lloyd works by the law, dealing with barriers to limit himself, while Rixia works in the shadows, tackling the criminal underworld through whatever means.
Rixia is the best in Azure. Perfect look, fantastic background story, excellent damage crafts, and can be dodge tank while still maintaining an extremely strong melee attack near end game
Rixia's and Tio's bonding events were very interesting because they showed how their emotional growth led to catharsis. In Tio's case, trauma made her shut herself from others while Rixia had a very unusual upbringing that was devoid of parental love. These circumstances made them less empathic if compared to a typical person. So I'm really happy with what the writers did for these characters. The writers weren't forcing players to recognized them as canon ships. They instead portrayed Lloyd as a supportive and close friend.
While I don’t think the notion of romance v Gen really doesn’t speak to the quality of writing, it did show Lloyd being seen as the light of the city of Crossbell. Lloyd gave Rixia a shoulder to cry on and he didn’t have to hold her hand all the way through. He just made her realized that she found a new meaning in Crossbell. With her time in the theater, and with its inhabitants. Tio is still a child, and acts (I wanna say father figure) emotional support for her.
I’m not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but the writing throughout the game has been trying to push a harem on Lloyd. Every time Lloyd says something nice to a girl they always have a habit of blushing or making it a big deal out of it. I know Cold Steel gets flack for the romance options, but at least they were restricted to the bonding events. But no, in story, you have his encounters with Noel having her get all flustered when Lloyd says he’ll take her, and the freakin beach scene.
Considering I played the Crossbell arc after Cold Steel I already knew about Rixia being Yin but it was revealed to the player rather early nevertheless (which I thought to be a bit bad for the writing in retrospect) but she really really grew on me in those games and Reverie. She made friends in Crossbell which she thought would not be possible for her as Yin but over time she realised that she didn't have to reduce herself to that of an assassin but could be a normal person as well. I think she had the most growth during the Crossbell games (well it's kinda hard to tell since I like every character and Tio also grew a lot) Also Lloyd with the "the moon is beautiful tonight" line (although I don't know the Japanese way of saying it but I trust the translators of Geofront) threw me off guard. Starting a conversation like this was probably another way of pointing him as hella unaware of romantic things
We need a Lloyd and Rixia kiss scene if there is not one already. I appreciate that Falcom kind of leaves it open so that we can decide which of the ladies we want him with.
My final bonding event was with her. Rixia X Lloyd is my favorite ship. Falcom need to stop playing around with Lloyd and give him the true ending he deserves
np i just uploaded them because a friend asked me to lol and thanks I thought of them 5 seconds before uploading to make people cringe so I'm glad they served their purpose LMAO
I chose Elie in Zero but chose Rixia in Azure. Feels like her backstory more deserves it than hollow romance like Elie which will get reset in next games.
Reverie's village scene prooves Elie is the main Girl. so it didn't get reset. But we know how falcom are. they got the main relationship, but somehow make it open enough for other love interest to have their way.
Is this from the Geofront cut? Thank you very much! I didn't quite get them all on my playthrough, playing without strictly following a guide makes it a huge pain.

Rixia and Lloyd are made for each other. Burning sun and silver moon. Rixia saved Lloyd’s life, and Lloyd saved Rixia’s soul.
Ah yes I see Rixia inhereted some onion cutting skills aswell
it was part of her assassin training

A custcene i have never seen before,im glad you uploaded it
Rina Sato always knocks it out of the park.
Thanks for uploading all these, I only got my guy Randy on mine so saved me a lot of time!

there's a Yin inside all of us
My final bonding event was with her. Rixia X Lloyd is my favorite ship. Falcom need to stop playing around with Lloyd and give him the true ending he deserves
The end part reminds me to one of the best moment in Sky where Estelle hugged the crying Joshua in SC Chapter 6, but gender reversed! it's so good!
yo i just wanna say thx for the vids and the shitty puns your descriptions i got a good laugh
np i just uploaded them because a friend asked me to lol
and thanks I thought of them 5 seconds before uploading to make people cringe so I'm glad they served their purpose LMAO
Big Daddy Lloyd
Best Girl Number 2 (Second only to Randy)
Guess that might be why she was the party member he was with instead of his boy randy in cs2's epilogue lol
Best girl of Crossbell

it doesn't really get reset if you choose to bring your data over from Zero.

Yup! These videos are from the Geofront version of Azure :)
why is this in my recommended
