Why is Chai so arrogant?

[伊唯洋]

I like the game but dislike Chai😕 I don't like arrogant people. Most of time they listen to no one but themselves (just like Chai), which makes it hard to start a wholesome conversation☹️

Yes of course it'd work between teammates. But you're not supposed to be Chai's real teammate either.

Real teammates facing real probmems. This is just a bunch of cool kids rebelling against a big corporation that met 5 minutes ago in funny situations. The ''team'' of this game is very artificial. They are a team because they say so but truly, they arn't. Nothing about this game, story and universe is thick enough to require or even justify some mass effect level of conversations. It's about the gameplay, the aesthetic, the pace and the vibe.

If you take the game seriously, I mean Peppermint would be the worse human in the universe and would not deserve listening less following, just consider how she treats Chai as a literal disposable meat bag for a good half of the game without even an once of gratitude, while constantly mocking him and not being much careful when she sends him in dangerous situations as if it was nothing...I mean, if we look at her from an IRL perspective, she's an horrible person too. Way worse, in fact. As they all are. And for one Peppermint mocks Chai for not being careful or responsible, she sent him into hell without even a B plan five times more.

Yet it's a funny/childish/cool/not serious universe so she's kinda doing a good job at what she's intended to be. As many loved characters are. They are characters, not persons, and they serve a purpose. Chai and Peppermint's purpose is to serve the game's vibe and pace. They do it quite well. Their evolutions and relations are very meh and as artificial as the dangers they are facing. It's the Big Mac level of unique and legit, but something deeper might have harmed the game as it would have been trickier to do, and might not fit the game at all. Sometimes it's easier and a better decisipn to be lazy and Tango chose the safe route. Good for them and us, I think the result is decent enough to serve a good game.

Please apologize my english

The game doesn't take itself seriously which is a nice change of pace from literally every other release from a major studio. He is a lovable idiot who while having aspirations to be a rockstar doesn't view himself as superior to anyone else in the team or come off as haughty. In that sense he is far from arrogant. Occasionally thinking a dumb plan he came up with is brilliant is far from the constant overbearing superiority complex that emanates from arrogant people. And he actually takes criticism, even when its a bit meaner than deserved fairly well. When his plan is shut down by pepperment he will maybe make a remake about how he thought his plan was super cool or whatever than just do what she says. An arrogant person would never follow pepperments plans and would just follow their owns to the bitter end.

An individual that reeks of insecurity and feels the need to place said insecurity on display by giving people points.

Something tells me that they're lacking in the avenue of critical thought.

I get it, thanks for your comment

[Star Rain]

It's like Jet Set Radio the point is to be cool and fun not realistic.

[ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ]

He's just Sokka, or more accurately Callum from Dragon Prince.

[Iido]

His voice and personality remind me a lot of Ron Stoppable, he's not really arrogant, just, as another put it, a lovable idiot.

[PopinFRESH]

Holy Jester farm batman. lol Someone just bought a Steam Deck and spent all their Steam points on this thread

[chero666]

Because he's an idiot. It's not deep, he's a comedy character that gets himself into situations where he has to fight. He's not complaining though, he's enjoying the fight.

I feel like he's just a typical teenage "know-it-all"? He doesn't bother me at all, but then, I've had two teenage boys.
