Serious or playful?

NeonMouko · Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2006 2:58 pm Post subject: Serious or playful?

Which do you prefer your character to be? Rather, which way do you choose to answer questions? I was thinking playful, but I'm not sure what the benefits are of being serious.

I wanted to get the guide to see what the benefits and negatives are of both, but my local Gamestop doesn't have any. -_-

I enjoyed flirting with Lim, but then Lyon got mad so I decided to tone it down. ^^

i like to play serious at first then switch over to playful or fun just to see the way things change sometimes it cracks me up :mrgreen:

You can expect Lyon to get mad whenever you choose a choice that isn't particularly 'heroic'. But still its fun to watch...

I personally like to be serious, as I don't like the scolding I get for kidding around.

im not very far into the game but it seems to me that they are giving you pleanty of chances to answer things in either manor so far i love the game

Well, it depends what character I'm talking to, but mostly I make the Prince a stupid one. You know, always clueless and easily fooled.

Totally me... >_>

I make him look more realistic. Since some choices can let him show hesitation, it can make the main character dramatic and deep.

I tend to go serious, but with a playful side at times, especially when Lymsleia is around. And does anyone else feel like they did a really good job with the "silent hero" model this time? It just seems like, for once, the whole concept worked and that you actually get to sculpt the main character's personality. Perhaps it's because of the frequency of the responses, or maybe it's the visual gestures the Prince makes, or maybe it's just the diversity of the choices. Probably it's a combination of the above, but the Prince just seems like a real person, instead of the piece of emotional cardboard that other silent heroes (cough*Lazlo*cough) often turn out to be.

Both. I like to mix it up on occasion, though i suppose i mostly just make choices according to how i personally might if i were in the Prince's position. Usually playful and stuff when it was around Lym or whomever, serious before battles or big decisions (or really, any other moment running high on the "emotional" scale").

And Camus, i completely agree; it added a whole other dimension to the game, made the choices much more than just a press of the directional pad and the X button. Being able to see the Prince's (and everyone's, really) reactions to the choices made actually made it feel much more important, much more personal.

I pick whatever I feel like picking. I don't try to play the Prince as one type of character or another. Rather, I'll just pick the option I would were I in the situation. Sometimes I'm scolded, sometimes not... I think next time I'll go hit on everyone and be an asshole.

I agree with others; the reaction to your responses makes it seem like what you say actually matters.
