I like to think Gilbert’s is quite romantic, cause they say friendship and then he says that Gilbert is the one he cares for most. So I think there's is decently romantic.
And Adel although taken aback was all ready to be Alain's, seems a little put out when Alain says it's about trust/friendship, too. Sad the guy ones're a bit more read between the lines, but still feel like they have the feels.
Thanks for the uploading. I was curious about the partner options with the boys, so this video was just in time. Of course, most of the guys end up in platonic relationships, but they are still pretty nice (some reactions are funny to me). I personally like Travis (perhaps because we share the same hobby), and I'm glad to see that he gets along with Alain.
@quixoticaenigma ehhhh I like to think they are going the more subtle "they live together, stay together, raise a child together, have sex together, they must be best friends!" Vibe. Like most of the male ones feels very much like bros but it is probably what I would want out of a relationship honestly.
While I'm really happy they let the player choose regardless of Sex because both Persona outside Innocent Sin and Fire Emblem could never. The dialogue for the men were so dry... Felt like they were just put to the task and they said okay, was comedic or platonic at best. It was a nice try but man we have such a long way to go for a JRPG with same sex romance options that feels romantic.
@@zackfair6791 They don't lol. The base game had 1 actual romance and 2 platonic ones with old dudes (worth noting if you played as a women you had 5 fully romantic options with other women)
@@doge7877 It's a choice but not a self insert. This game is similar to The Witcher series. You can make choices in the games but at the end of the day Geralt is still Geralt just like Alain is still Alain. There are certain things you cannot change about them. Cyberpunk 2077 is an example of a self insert game.
The older/more muscled guys get more platonic endings. The super loyal guys get more platonic ending, and the super sly guys get more platonic endings edit: lex, lhinalagos, Gilbert had the most romantic sounding male endings
A part of me wants to follow the canon choice being Scarlett, but I thoroughly enjoyed Berengaria's, Jeremy's, Rosalinde's, Amalia's and Fodoquia's. Honorable mention for Bryce because his was a bit more real than I thought. To be honest, I actually wish all the reactions were platonic. Romance being forced in the middle of war feels like you only get to scratch the surface, but friendships during those times are so much more objectively beautiful.
A mess of thoughts as I watch through these: Josef's is actually really sweet, I like it a lot more than I thought I would. Also really like Bruno's surprisingly. He's a really neat character in general. Fran hiding is really cute. Alain breaking Kitra is really funny, I thought she was going to knock him out. Imagine Melisandre's reaction to Alain giving the ring to Colm of all people. Would love to see that cutscene. Alain and Monica getting married and meanwhile Clive is just sitting in the corner of the room, plain faced, "This is fine..." Virginia is weird and pushy and I do not like her. Also "step-bro" energy. I love how much of a goof Primm is at first. She's such a dork. With the two choices and the character models actually interacting, it's almost like Berengaria is the CORRECT answer or something. Also just showing up and saying no instantly is one hell of a power play. Alain did Jeremy dirty. Shame Gammel gets such a short conversation, he's a very unique character. Dinah is perfect. That is all. Alain standing next to Amalia looks like he's a ten year old. Also very fitting that she actually makes him fight for it. Jerome is even more of a dork than Primm. Also Lotti is great.
@@GutsOfRivia of course of course, but there's still room for suspension of disbelief in games. they could easily explain it away with the use of a surrogate or something. it's mainly just my own personal bias showing, not necessarily a criticism of the game
@@dualityofemme too but I’m delulu and I imagine a high fantasy world where people are smashing other creatures and incest… pretty sure bisexuality/pansexuality is more accepted. Even if alain has a queen, that doesn’t stop him from having a court of men to sleep with 😂. Some of these options give emotionally gay or romantic.
@@GutsOfRiviaI mean the dude can marry an owl just fine, and imagining them hatching a baby requires more suspension of disbelief than a gay king who had a surrogate/beard.
All Characters have overworld conversations (no voiceover for their conversation just a text based conversation) Alain has these scenes to give the ring to anyone who has maxed out affinity with him
Darn, Gammel's was really disappointing. I don't know what I expected, but I at least would have liked it to not be so short and to the point. Some reason or emotion would have been nice. He becomes a completely changed man after you let him go and dedicates himself to helping people, but none of that is even mentioned.
No. Sadly, there’s not a single romantic one with a guy. I just skimmed through every male one, and it’s all “two bros sitting in a hot tub, three feet apart cause they’re not gay” energy.
@sethzarandona2325 it gives off the "Aww they live together bath together, have a child together. They must be BEST friends" vibe... which is fitting for the time period I suppose 😂😂😂 Forever in the closet but still very cute
@@kaein2973 😂 Yeah, fitting for the time period, though… it’s still a fantasy world lmao, they don’t HAVE to do it like that. 😂 Eh, it’s alright. I have some characters I like to read as gay or lesbian, and I’m just gonna pair Alain with Berengaria, Miriam, Fran, or Melissandre. Tryna pick between those four. 😂
Some of yall havent seen many non hetero relationships and it shows. Here a quick run down for 1st 20 min Josef is daddy akin to some website dialog Chloe is a lesbian bestie Travis is a bottom Rolf is a top Lex is himbo gym bro and alain his first bi friend Clive is marring his girl Hodrick want josef and alain Aubin is gay for pay.
Would have been A LOT better if you'd put all women together and then all men together in the other half of the video instead of intermixing them so you can just listen to the ones you want without have to skip around constantly.
Okay, Adel was 100% into it being romantic. That's adorable.
I like how Virginia and Aramis are just like, Yes, I know I'm gorgeous, now gimme the ring.
Came here to see how the Virginia one plays out...
She even mentions that his mom is her aunt, that's some shameless Abalama-ing going on lmao
But it's historically accurate at least.
Royals were notorious cousin fuckers
She even says Alain was like a brother to her. Way to make things more awkward girl. 😅
Historically accurate pairing

Also he and Auch are one of the few male characters that are dejected after Alain tells them there was a mistake.
The male ones aren’t that romantic, more like a bromance, but they’re pretty cute regardless.
The Jeremy one is hilarious. It's like the game itself is really questioning your life choices
Ngl, it's disappointing
@@quixoticaenigma A future king needs heirs so what did you expect?
@@GutsOfRivia for a game who is already full of fantasy to make me feel included, at the very least.

Thank you so much for posting this… I’d been waiting for someone to upload all the Rites! ❤
The funniest is Colm poor guy, Melisandre is not going to be happy

Fire Emblem games like three houses has that does it not? It's kind of unrealistic to expect them to pander to you lol.

@@danielbarnes1241 Well, UO isn't a self insert game so i'm not really sure what you expected.
@@zackfair6791 i mean, choosing who Alain marries is the most self insert part of the game though.

Thank you for putting in the work. Try as I might I can't seem to properly count all these. Also, I'm kind of surprise of the recruiting order.

Fodoquia’s sounded romantic to me for some reason.
What about Auch and Travis? Both are quite dejected when Alain tells them there was a mistake so I think there are some feelings there.
NGL: the writing in this entire game is so well done.

Not the cousin 😭
Bruno, Bertrand, Monrard, Amalia = A prince of refined tastes!
Is it just me? Or mandrin doesn,t feel like it just bromance 😊
The way both talking it feel more then just bond of friendship
Gilbert is the most oblivious romantic male couples in those. Alian say that Gilbert is the one he care the most is oblivious.
I think Rolf is
A mess of thoughts as I watch through these:
Josef's is actually really sweet, I like it a lot more than I thought I would.
Also really like Bruno's surprisingly. He's a really neat character in general.
Fran hiding is really cute.

Alain did Jeremy dirty.

Jerome is even more of a dork than Primm. Also Lotti is great.
Virginia is one of my favourites but idk why tf they made the one family member conversation romantic 😭😭
Damn the Gilbert route is the closest we can get to gay romance.
I would say wolf boi and lion boi are close, lion boi even says it was a proposal.
siiiigh , as a gay lad myself it does bum me out a little that most of the male options seem to be platonic
How would a king have an heir if he was gay. Not a luxary he can have.

And then Alain got a kid in every girls, the end.
Is it just me? The one with Berengaria was the best written and it also ended with a kiss.
I'm stuck between my favorite scenes and my favorite companion
Is there a support conversation between the other characters? This is just Alain, what about the others?
This isn't a support conversation its something unique to Alain. Everyone has rapport conversations but that's not shown in the video
All Characters have overworld conversations (no voiceover for their conversation just a text based conversation) Alain has these scenes to give the ring to anyone who has maxed out affinity with him
Alain has rapport convos with everyone, and the other characters have convos with each other but only with certain characters, just like Fire Emblem
I was expecting a full romance with hodrick and Bruno 😢
Hodrick love Josef or renault
Bruno love the sister

FE could never.
Eh, Fire Emblem has done better. Especially with actually having a few (emphasis on few) actual gay romance options.
None of these are really gay options though, if that’s what you’re talking about
Engage clears this lmao.
Is there a special ending for each character we chose ?
Kinda at the epilogue
Josef: What is this failure i taught for the past 10 years of my life 😂😂
Mordons is great 😂
What about Alcina.
Post game characters cannot be romanced :(
