>chaos: I can just get rid of gnosis, the biggest threat to humanity that required the collective intelligence of humanities lead scientists to even combat at a local level. it's something I'm good at! Everyone has something they're good at right?
>Shion: hmm when you put it that way it makes sense :)! Guess I won't question it ever again.

WTF how do we go from Fei to this? At least Shulk was good after, even Cross is better as a silent fuck

Because women are fucking idiots, user. They are stupid, stupid, pathetic creatures who are only called human by cruel technicality

I think Xenosaga made me hate JRPGs

MOMO was pretty smart tho inb4 she's realian and doesn't count

Hey I think Shion is pretty smart and stuff.

She doesn't, not only is she a Realian, but she's a custom made "MY DAUGHTER IS DEAD" Realian.

>I think Xenosaga made me hate JRPGs
Episode 2 made me hate gaming companies.

I remember when it first came out and the creators were promising six episodes and this massive amazing story line then they all got shitcanned and the B team took over for E2 and turned it into this fucking steaming pile of garbage that was so bad I refused to even bother playing the attempt to unfuck everything that E3 was. Just thinking about the series made me want to break something in an autistic rage.

I nearly shut the game off at that point but thank god for Ziggeraut 8 and albedo

this guy at least pointed out how retarded she was for not questioning it after

XS3 is great m8, you already suffered through the horseshit why stop before the good part?

You're only just now realizing that Old Miltia drove Shion insane and her viewpoint on reality is completely fucked to the point that she routinely blanks out and talks to dead people, touches Zohars and survives Gnosis attacks and the only thing that makes a ripple in her outward behavior is her gay brother calling her on the phone?

Shion is fucking mental and she's mental for all three games. The shit she went though on Old Miltia broke her.

all that shit is cause she's the reincarnation of mary's maiden not cause of old miltia

She's a woman. They're all fucking mental.

Remember that you can use Ziggy's neck-snapping move against her during that boss fight near the end of Episode III.

I'm more confused by that one lady you had to fight in Episode II who I can only ever remember because Jr. approached her saying "YOU BITCH"

I quit during the fight with Margulis like half way or something through E2 because the battle system made no fucking sense.

>Remember that you can use Ziggy's neck-snapping move against her during that boss fight near the end of Episode III.

exactly what I did, over and over

No, being able to touch zohars and live through being bleached by Gnosis is because she's Mary Magdalene's reincarnated girlfriend.

Completely blanking out of situations, forgetting her research in the lab, randomly going 'YEAH OKAY' when chaos does Jesus shit and just sort of accepting it when Kevin comes back from the dead is just the outward signs of her ridiculous insanity levels. At one point in 'A Missing Year' Jin has to slap the fuck out of her to keep her from going postal. She's fucking nuts.

Again. That's just women in general.

isn't shion supposed to be some kind of autist?

I always thought she was, she's too fucking awkward to not be some kind of disabled

I took this scene as Chaos having some weird calming aura that just calms people and makes them ok with his shit. How else would these hardened space hobos have no problem with a girly twink hanging around their ship doing fuck all? No him popping Gnosis once in a blue moon for them is dumb.

Also it didn't work an Allen because he's an atheist.

>Fei

Fei is a complete fucking retard.

Fei wasn't portrayed to be a scientist yes I know so it's not so bad, he was competent anyway

>implying he didn't step on that food on purpose
DAMAGED

>isn't shion supposed to be some kind of autist?
Worse
She's a Woman. You can at least brute force some level of competence and base understand on how the world works into an autist, women not so much.

...

>competent

>has shinji-tier logic about getting in the robot
>runs his fucking mouth in the slums until he gets beaten near-death for it
>shouting about how his culprit friends are being hunted in a massive crowd at Solaris
>Bitches incessantly about his daddy issues and blames everything that goes wrong on others
>Can't think 2 inches beyond Elly's tits

He's the definition of a meatheaded danger to himself and everyone around him. You can tell the only thing saving him from a mercy necksnap by Citan is the fact he's the Contact.

At least Fei didn't grab a piece of shit out of the toilet like Billy.

Shion is not smart, user. buckle in. it's only gonna get stupider.

My favorite character was Cherenkov

After that, probably Yuriev. That guy did not fuck around.

She was one of the few that UDO could make contact with and she summoned the Gnosis.

>Fei wasn't portrayed to be a scientist

Yes he was. Sorta.

ya too bad ep. 3 was smashed in as 3 or 4 games, I would have loved to see more yuriev, he was obviously meant to be a final boss of one of the games

I also find it weird cherenkov didn't come back as a testament but vergil did

Cherenkov did nothing wrong.

Cherenkov was the only good part about the story. After he died that shit went dumb. I think I only beat the game because if that dumb summon that one hits every boss.

Being Citan is really suffering when you look at the game from his viewpoint

>Leave your retirement and make sure this chosen idiot doesn't kill himself or too many important people
>Goddamnit...can't we just use Ramsus?
>No.
>Fucking hell...

Counterpoint: FUCK Citan

You're posting this as if chaos can annihilate every single gnosis he comes across. Did you even finish the series or making judgements off the first hours of the first game?

>Yuriev

Fucking around was all he seemed to do. I played through each game and I still can't tell you what his endgame was.

it doesn't matter, the act of it alone should be mind boggling

It's still a big deal when someone turns them to salt or whatever by touching them.

No it's not gonna work on any army of them by science is about the process as much if not more than the end result.

he wanted to ascend to the upper domain with God

I actually kept him on my main team through most of 1. KOS-MOS, Jr. and Chaos for the most part. At the time, I felt his LUNAR SEAL special was pretty good, so I always buffed that. I also subbed in Ziggy occassionally since he has high hp and good damage.

Hijack god.

Kos-Mos was the only good thing to ever come out of Saga.

>not ziggy
>not albedo

If Shion actually acted as smart as her backstory says she was, half of the problems she faces wouldn't be real threats.

Waifufags ruin video games, more after these following messages.

>Episode 2 made me hate gaming companies
To date, Episode 2 is still the most disappointing game I've ever played. The hype leading up to it was fucking unreal. All the E3 trailers, front cover on every single gaming magazine, fan disc leading into E2, and look at what we got. Episode 3 was a nice com back but Episode 2 doomed the entire franchise. What a fucking train wreck.

Reminder that Shion is somehow friends with Kazuya Mishima. He sent her an E-mail in ep.1 and bragged about how he is going to beat the fuck out of his son. Combine that with Kevin, that is enough to tell you what kind of person Shion is.

A shameless whore?

I don't think anyone has shion as their waifu

She certainly gets acquainted with the wrong guys at least.

>Guess I won't question it ever again.

Except she does. Several times. And no one explains shit till the third and last game.
Though Shion also has literal brain problems, like amnesia and she has visions all the time.
Shion is the main character but she is pretty much the least important character of the crew. Think of her as a "observer" and stop complaining.

He was scared to fuck of death. Not little individual death, but the holy fuck everything ends the entire universe cold and nothing death that U-Do instills.

So the nigger kept trying to find ways to kill death. To the point that his literal endgame was using a giant robot piloted by the concept of death to kill itself.

At least Albedo knew what the fuck he was talking about when he started screaming he was the infinite telomerase.

I tried replaying these games recently.

My tollerence for anime bullshit is not as robust as it once was.

I got through the first game through virtue of nostalgia alone. It was a fucking slog all the way through.

I couldn't be bothered with the other two. Started the second one, got part way through, watched the rest on youtube.

Started the third, got to the bit where you go back in time for seemingly no reason and only start to question what the fuck is going on after a solid TEN FUCKING HOURS of fetch quests.

>oh decapitating myself would've been too gory for american audiences
>let's just rip my head off with my bare fucking hands instead

>go back in time
>do jackshit for three hours, but hey, here's a lawyer-friendly Maria Balthasar and Seibzehn cameo!
>the Professor bullshits about how interfering with the past risks causing a ripple effect that will destroy space-time itself
>do it anyway
>lol it was never the past at all, it was Shion's subconscious domain, somehow
That part of 3 is so weird.

With Japanese censorship laws, it should be the opposite.

They for whatever reason think beheading is super taboo.

Well as a scientest her first fucking thought should of been LET ME STUDY YOUR POWERS!

All that work into trying to fight the gnosis and a living test sample falls into her lap, she does nothing.

Fuckign study him, learn to recreate what he does. He's a fucking holy grail to advance anti- gnosis tech and it's ignored.

So yeah it's really fucking easy to make judgments after the first few hours. Fast foward to all the shit she does in game 3 involving her old asshole boyfriend and geee... it looks like those judgments were correct.

>They for whatever reason think beheading is super taboo.
Thanks to Masakado it's superstition that a beheading is the only way to make sure someone stays dead.
