Pairings and Tales of Beseria

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

To be perfectly honest, I'd like to pair up the characters in Tales of Beseria-- I've seen fanart on PIXIV and gone, "Oh yeah, I can get behind that", but for one fact-- there's really no lover-type dynamic amongst the group-- they are all pretty ambivalent to each other and you can tell that any friendship that they have for each other is tenuous at best. Eizen and Rokurou would look hot but there is something only bro about them-- and it only surfaces when they are saying that women are inherently evil; and I would like to pair someone with Magilou but omg, no one likes her.

In most series, I can find at least ONE golden egg; in Zestiria-- I liked Rose/Dezel and Sorey/Mikleo, in Yuri on Ice, Viktor/Yuri smacked me with a fish. But Beseria is that one freak series where I cannot for the life of me see any pairings, not that it frustrates me, just-- while I love the characters, there is no me wishing for a grand romance. I guess it is just one of those things that goes down as being refreshing/frustrating all in one go.

What can I say-- I guess I just am a shipper at heart.

But hey on unrelated note-- Bayley broke Charlotte Flair's Pay Per View streak, of course it was only because of Sasha Banks (which means tonight, Charlotte is gonna cry cheater at Bayley) but oh well-- Wrestlemania, here we come.

Yeah, I feel you. After finishing the game I still don't see many pairing possibilities... maybe excepting Theresa and Oscar because of their backstory. But like, I think Rokurou/Eleanor could be kinda cute (I'm seen fan art for it that's sweet, and it convinced me a little bit), for example, and yet I can't see it actually happening. But Velvet clearly doesn't care, and I agree about Rokurou and Eizen being more bro than anything. I don't know about Magilou. :/

My mind ias still willing to go to unfortunate places with Innominat, Artorius, and Velvet, though. I wish it wouldn't...

I still love Sorey/Mikleo.

Sorey and Mikleo-- ah, how I miss them. They had such a wonderful dynamic-- the sort that made me smile, that was the dynamic that I was talking about-- it was that deep kinship-- most anything in Tales of Beseria feels wrong because there's not that kinship and I feel like I'd be forcing them to kiss because I wanted them to kiss and not just because they wanted to kiss (or it would seem like such in the game)

It's not just you. I feel much the same in just enjoying the general crazy found/pseudo family vibe from the party in Berseria. So you're not alone in that, where I shipped Colette and Lloyd and Yuri and Estelle with other Tales for example. And to be honest part of me kind of prefers that over being entirely hammered with obligatory romance if it seems too forced.

Yeah, a part of me is relieved too-- but then a part of me is going 'but what couple can I fangirl over', and that's the part that is the incurable romantic--

Ah, that is interesting to note about the character dynamics in Tales of Beseria.

But Beseria is that one freak series where I cannot for the life of me see any pairings, not that it frustrates me, just-- while I love the characters, there is no me wishing for a grand romance. I guess it is just one of those things that goes down as being refreshing/frustrating all in one go.
~I can understand that sentiment in a way. I feel the same when it comes to certain series, though I guess I am also a shipper at heart when all is said and done for the most part. :D

I know I've seen fanart with Zaveid and Eizen, and I did enjoy Eleanor's interactions with Rokurou, but I didn't see it as a romantic sort of thing myself. And well, Zaveid and Eizen has a bit more history, given events in Zestiria tying in there as well, of course.
