Tsundere-senpai. Favorite character of the series. :P I agree that it is sort of odd that he's just as "normal" as everyone else, though. The route's not as spiffy as I'd thought it'd be, but yeah, it's worth it. (I thought the CGs were pretty nice, though.) Ah… Tsundere-senpai. Favorite character of the series. :P

]]> Comment on Avatar IS ethnocentric by admin http://www.tehvidya.com/2010/01/24/avatar-is-ethnocentric/comment-page-1/#comment-437 admin Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:26:51 +0000 http://www.tehvidya.com/?p=152#comment-437 I've heard that argument before, and I think it's right on some levels, but I also think it's telling that it takes this outsider to ultimately save the day - with help, yes, but he's still the hero. That implies on several levels that without this white man's help the natives would be done for. So it's saying that lots of white men are evil, but they're still better/smarter/more innovative than the natives, and the good ones are <em>really</em> good.

It certainly doesn't favour Earth culture dominated by money and interests. It tries to give us a portrayal of Na'vis as creatures more in balance with their environment, more spiritual. It's the old tale of the bad modern white against the good kind primitive native. And Jake exits one culture he doesn't like (and which doesn't care for him) to embrace the Na'Vi culture (in which he finds friendship and love). In the end he doesn't save the day cos he's the representative of a superior culture (which itself is never described as superior), he saves the day (well he doesn't do that all alone, he needs the whole planet to help him) cos he's got a heart, he's the hero of the tale.

Just to be fair I waited and played and waited. Story after the beginning becomes non-existant, charas you encounter in villages and their problems are not something you care for, combats are a single button mashing fest.. I dunno. I think I am ok with repetitive mechanics in a game but the game itself must be fun and challenging. Pushing a button all the time, not even knowing why you re doing it cos story is so dull, rarely encountering something you can't defeat the first time is not my idea of fun.

In fact it depends on the annoucement in the journal in the network, it speeks about his novel. When his novel first gets out you have to go to do shopping. Then, you have to go shopping to meet him again, there will have options. Go shopping or go to the bookstore. It is difficult tou explain but if you see "初恋" you have to go shopping aned you will surely meet him. Hello I finally got him.

I think thath I was quite lucky. There is another hidden xharacter who is a writer. I don't really know how to meet him, I was very lucky I think, but I couldn't obtain him. I will try again. I could suppose that there was a story with this kind of man because in the website there was news about a novel quite often. "hatsukoi". I could discover him when I was trying to obtain koichi hello i also play this game and I had all the official characters. I think thath I was quite lucky.

I'm thinking of going in this order next: Shitara - Ruka (for the 'true' story) - Junpei - Oozako. Then we'll see where I go from there. And I still haven't tried any of the Triangle Relationships paths yet. Ooh, thanks. I’m thinking of going in this order next: Shitara – Ruka (for the ‘true’ story) – Junpei – Oozako.

Konno really is a bit of a bore but I love how he and Shitara always bicker at each other xD At least he's got some spine for talking back to grouchy Shitara, no? How about going for Shitara next? After my first playthrough with Ruka I thought I was spoilt for all the other guys for good, but somehow I ended up liking Shitara best o_O Funny how my first pick never turns out to be my favorite at the end of all TMGS games... (I picked Madoka/Wakaouji first and ended up liking Hazuki/Shiba best in GS1 and 2). The Japanese wiki page is constantly being updated if you can read Japanese http://www29.atwiki.jp/3rd_story/ You can also find a guide for GS3 in the LJ comm of TMGS ( http://community.livejournal.com/tokimemogs/ ), but you need to join the community since all guides are friends-locked.
