About Del and Basilio (Spoilers)

[Actuallynactual]

I don't know about anyone else but these brothers quickly became some of my favorite characters in the whole game. I genuinely like Del and his voice actor is amazing. couldn't do anything but smile every time he spoke.

Watching him die was some of the biggest pain i felt in a game in a long time and I know he was not a good guy and had many flaws but as soon as i met him I hoped we'd become really good friends with him and watch him grow. This game story is amazing but damn does it hurt.

Haven't finished the game yet but i know who i want to avenge (even more than the prince lol)

Since you haven't finished the game yet, I sadly can't spoil any other major character deaths so I'll be really vague. But I agree that Metaphor handles the topic of losing lives unexpectedly well and with real depth.

I even felt bad and a shed a tear for someone I never met (Heismays son) or someone who did atrocious crimes like Joanna (and second lady later on). There's another character that dies very late in the end who you know for a long time and that suprised and saddend me as well especially after making a promise that will never come true with that one. Grius and his efforts were also never forgotten by the cast and side character, which shows how every character in this game mattered. There's even a support character that might catch you off guard in his/her last 2 support ranks...

On a side note, since I think I'm the only one feeling like this:
Joanna who is seemingly universally hated by the community impacted me also more than I expected. I think it's amazing who she didn't hide or run away and knew 100 % she would be executed when she showed up in Brilehaven. She walked towards her own execution, how many people would be able to do that? She ended the lives of many innocent people, but let's not ignore how before she became crazy, her life and that of her loved ones got also destroyed by society. She walked towards certain death to make this publicly known. And because she hoped our MC and his group will create a world where nobody will have to suffer the same fate as her child. I can't help but love the not black/white writing here.
