I remember that during the slaughter of Ryube village Luca said something like: "All I've been fighting lately is this old man." Anyone know who he was referring to? In the beginning I thought he meant Genkaku but he died a natural death, didn't he? Or could it have been figurative speech and was he talking about king Agares? Or is Luca just full of crap?

He was talking about being trained by Han Cunningham.

Right! That makes sense. Now that must have been some intense sparring matches! I wouldn't mind getting a chance to sit in on one of their training sessions. :mrgreen:

I think he must've meant old men like the civilians in the village because if someone called an old man, he would've probably meant someone who's weak like a weak old man.

That's how he thought of Han Cunningham, Luca didn't have a lot of respect for him, or anyone for that matter.

I always thought he was refering to Agares, since Luca had just been given control of the military after the king was commanding them originally. The term "old man" is always associated with "Father".

True, but he really can't spar with his dad, as much as he hates him. During my first few playthroughs, I thought he was referring to random old man/men he killed in Ryube, but then I learned that he was being trained by Han Cunningham.

From the way he fights when you encounter him in the game, I guess he had every right to be bored. Three parties, a platoon of archers, and a duel at the end. Fierce. :D I actually had to reload and train a bit during my first playthrough. XD My sister dreads the actual fight and trains/sharpens her weapons/equips runes properly like mad before the fight. She even has her parties listed down in one of her notebooks. :lol:

Yeah, but that's more like "my old man". Luca said "this/that old man", so it clearly wasn't a direct reference to his father. I also think he was referring to Han Cunningham here.

Luca Blight is referring to a fight that involved a sword though, so I don't think it's Agares Blight. I share Decado's belief that it is Han Cunningham, as he is the one who trained Luca. Plus, regarding tha "old man" term, didn't Viktor call Han the same thing during the capture of L'Renouille?

I thought he was making a joke about his father actually, Han Cunningham seems to make more sense though.

I actually can't remember him saying something like that, maybe because it was just one line.. But now that you all put the pieces together, Han Cunningham makes a lot of sense.

I thought he was referring to the fact he's been battling with his father over the war with Jowston, not an actual fight. It didn't really make sense for him to be talking about Han at the moment, but I guess it could be.

But don't forget the whole "This/My old man" doesn't really work since Luca didn't consider him to be his father, and thought he was pretty useless.

I'm of the same sentiment as Milan, though I suppose either interpretation could be correct.

Yeah, meant to be Agares. A better translation would have been "All I've been doing these days is dealing with that old man" which is what Luca's been doing, politically speaking.
