Help me out here, /vr/. Who is the better Waifu in Final Fantasy 6? There is no definition in "waifu" for the purpose of this strawpoll. You can base this just on looks, on story quality, on gameplay, or a combination of all these things or none at all. I just need some votes in this.

Celes meanwhile is loyal, doesn't ditch the party to play mommy, and canonically beautiful enough to be kidnapped by a dangerous rogue.

Also, Terra is 200% more likely to have been molested by Kefka.

In Japanese entertainment they often use certain phrases to give characters more "character" despite it not being the way actual Japanese speak. It's kinda like a coded system to make cheap character moments, Celes has been talking like a man sofar but omg now she's speaking like a girl because she wants Locke's dick or whatever.

The example"わ", which is a "Wa" sound, is a feminine way of ending a sentence in Japanese to make yourself sound like a girl. A masculine equivalent would be ”よ” which is "Yo"

maybe that person just has, you know, more aptitude. you'll have brothers and sisters with mostly identical genetic material but entirely different aptitude for various skills.

you are entirely ignoring the fact of random distribution and assuming some sort of biological predetermination. what are you, an online graduate of trump U?

Terra:
+ Mothering instinct
+ No in-laws
+ Aren't you at least a little curious about plowing a girl who's part monster?
- Emotionally conflicted; probably often not in the mood to bone.

Celes:
+ Most likely is a better fuck than Terra, all things considered. Has a martial background, probably is more fit, probably a bit kinkier, higher sex drive I imagine.
- Damaged goods.
- Drama queen.
- Bad taste in men.
- You'll probably have to visit that retard Cid every so often, seeing as he's the closest thing she has to family.
- She's military. She'll probably be distant and eventually cheat on you, albeit in a naive way with regret.

No one, because I'm not autistic and don't have to self-insert onto a character in every game. FFVI has an ensemble cast you get to watch interact and learn more about as the story goes on. None of them are me, I am simply watching their stories unfold.

>> No.5181949

>>5181486
>>5181554
It's obviously both. There is the basic genetic sequence which predicts a spectrum of possibilities and the actual growth of that material that physically ends up happening due to interaction with the environment it finds itself in which is to say there is the organism and then the entire rest of the universe as a context for that organism's development. To suggest that genetic viability is not a thing is to suggest that a zebra could be a pro basketball player or a rocket scientist if it were only given the right opportunity when everybody knows that zebras are predisposed to have little interest in either of those things and a great difficulty with the languages they're historically taught with.

People are not created equal but all living things thirst for life. Each individual is able to accomplish something in the context of their own life that no other can truly match, but it's sheer absurdity to suggest than anyone can do anything if they only tried and were nurtured correctly, to have such a thought is to attempt to negate the individuality of others to massage the insecurity and cognitive dissonance from your own brain.

It's an incredibly selfish concept of a trained quitter is what I'm saying.

the ability to empathize or relate to people or characters is basically the antithesis of autism

>> No.5182025

Empathizing or relating to characters is not the same as "thinking of [a character] as 'you' in the game."

Empathy is the process that allows you to relate, so for the purpose of this discussion, it is.

Terra, I like her design better.

>> No.5182105

>>5182065
I would argue that someone who has to self-insert onto a character and see that character as being themselves to be invested is not really empathizing. Empathy requires the recognition that the person you're empathizing with is not you and that you don't necessarily have to agree with how someone feels to understand why they feel the way they do.
