He gave us ally Pepe, so small victoriesOriginally Posted by G-Man

Honestly Mashu's appeal wore thin for me the longer time passes so I wouldn't mind trading her for a wolfman either. She can rest in the shadow border and stop traumatizing herself
But he did stick with us despite all that, and he did help us because he felt Pan-Human History might have something better, correct?
Again, Skadi is a giant herself, and so is Loki, so they are definitely sapient unless Loki and Skadi are specifically freaks that are born with sapient while other giants are not.
How would he know that world is better when it's impossible for him to compare the two until we revive our world and show it to him? And given the survival of the fittest dogma of his world, he'd be more likely to sit back and side with whomever wins (which would be us, thank you plot armor).
If Norse myth is anything to go by, then yes, and the difference between God and Giant is quite arbitrary.
If they're intelligent and eat humans, it kinda makes their case worse.
It's pretty shitty to off a shitton of people for the sake of your supposedly treasured loved ones but grab one or two that you like just to make the audience feel a little better. Isn't all this supposed to be worth it for them? Why are you saying that one or two people are special enough to be in your world when you're disposing of the rest? At that point you're Leff offering Matt a place in Goetia's utopia.
A part of me knows that Mash is going to get her powers back after she confronts whoever that Galahad Gudao met was, but a part of me also just thinks she should just retire from the whole servant thing. Just go to a nice little cottage and be depressed in peace (• ▽ •
So just lie to him and let him feel the guilt of letting a better world go when he does get to our world and see it for himself? Even better.
He didn’t choose to give up to us because our world is strong, he even called it weak. Not taking the bullet for us would even directly show how weak it is. He only did it because it what he heard about made him think it’s better than his.
It still just show the inherent selfishness of our mission in the end.
"An ideal is only an ideal after all. As long as you embrace that ideal, the friction with reality will continue to increase. So you will someday face reality and will have to pay for your compromises"
Because saving all of them is impossible, otherwise that's what we would do?
I'm just saying, Paxti had no real attachment to his world beyond his already deceased mother, so there was no harm in extending the offer. It was never about lessening any guilt (never mind that Ivan himself said we didn't need to feel guilty because this whole unfair situation wasn't anyone's fault).
Yeah, my impression so far has been wow this world is fucked up yo.
LB4 does this worse imo.
Let's see,
Basically, Arjuna's trying to clear a Majora Mask-esque game in its first 10 days cycle (eradication of all evil). When he finds that he's unsatisfied with the result on the 10th day he reloads his day 1 save file. Seems normal, right? But the thing here is, Arjuna uses a gameshark to modify the game to remove whatever things he felt unsatisfied with on his previous run (something that he deemed unnecessary and worthless) and also to save and modify all the worthy npc's memories every time he reloads his save file. This is the trick behind his genesis nuke, it's not that he destroy and reform the world, he just reset the world to day 1 all the while making adjustment to the people living in that world, such as dead people remains dead, retaining the people's memories or removing Asha's memories of her wonderful dog (Fuck you Arjuna).
Tldr: Arjuna sucks at game.
Why did I understand Jinako's jargon? Maybe because we both like Karna hue hue.

Something
Would giving up and abandoning our world to destruction because we didn't want to dirty our hands be any less selfish?
As for the issue with Paxti, if we did come across a real utopia (I'm not convinced we will, even in Wordime's Lostbelt), we would have a whole bunch of other problems besides whether or not he wants to live there. That's literally the kind of thing that the whole party would have to discuss.
And then there's whether or not Paxti could even live in said utopia. It might be perfect except for religious dogma against wolfmen for all we know. Either way, we wouldn't have to kill him.
Well, even then, it was Douman who convinced him to reset at Day 10 as opposed to year 5000 or whatever. Also, fuck you Arjuna. What'd that dog ever do to you?
Thinking about AU Chaldea where Patxi is the team's designated sniper and survivalist, he gets to wield a Barrel Replica, and gets a fated showdown thingy with Orion and Artemis in LB5.
I wouldn't call it wasted potential, but man, what if. What if.
My Fanfics. Read 'em. Or not.McJon01: We all know that the real reason Archer would lose to Rider is because the events of his own Holy Grail War left him with a particular weakness toward "older sister" types.
Of course it is, both for the player and for Gudao. If I can save at least one person, that makes me the good guy!
It's the height of hypocrisy.

It was weak.

It was weak.
Isn't that the point of UBW, though? As long as one person is saved, it's not wrong or pointless. In addition, for the player, it's more to see another POV about other LBs, perhaps.

But it wasn't evil...I thought he'd be all about that.
Except you are literally the only person saying that saving Paxti is about making us good (you'll note nowhere in my posts do I state that saving Paxti and extending the offer makes us heroes). Here we are talking about the story potential while you're trying to ascribe false motivations to us, which feels a lot more hypocritical to me.
When you put it this way I can definitely see the Undertale vibes that Nasu might've taken as influence, although this chapter may've been conceptualized and written before he had that epiphanic experience with said indie title. Not like Nasu is unfamiliar to gamey concepts working their way into the worlds he writes, like /hollow's and Kagetsu Tohya's loops and how NG+-styled antics affect those on a narrative and meta level.Basically, Arjuna's trying to clear a Majora Mask-esque game in its first 10 days cycle (eradication of all evil).

LBs are, as an example, "Kill 9/10 people. Keep 1 alive." If you think you're not a mass murderer because you didn't slaughter all 10...
Why are we arguing about the Morality of hypothetically saving dog boy? We can't, he's dead. Even the. Saving him wouldn't make us good people in the long run (I don't think anyone is under the illusion it would, can he even leave his home?) though I don't think it would make us bad either. It's mostly just self satisfaction in the end.
I just wanted more dog boy screentime.
