Chapter 11's End Rant [MAJOR SPOILERS]

[Moon Rabbit]

Was anyone else absolutely fuming at how utterly stupid the end scene was? How cliched, non-sensical and hamfisted it was? What an insulting attempt to show the "evils of war". Maybe if the damn thing didn't fly in the face of the game's own logic. Or the writers were smart enough to make it believable. But they weren't. and it sucked. In a big way.

The idiots who wrote this game decided that after the fight was over, this time and this time only the 7's would stand around yakking, with no one on patrol, or keeping watch. Isara takes a shot from some dopey imps that happened to still be bumbling around, as if S7 had forgotten they are on a battle field. Not the leader standing around, not the bigger armed threats like Largo. No they kill the one that we would all be saddest to see get shot. Because the lazy writers, are dumbs as balls.

So she goes face down down in China Town mid-handshake, talking about all the wonderful plans she had after retirement like the partner in the first ten minutes of every revenge cop movie.

Then the writers equip their trollfaces, and moonwalk past all logic or reason, and the magic stealth healer isn't called, despite being able to materalize anywhere in space or time, and having characters get killed by friggin mortars only to return to the field the next turn. Then Welkin sits there and acts as if a sitcom he didn't particularly care for was cancelled.

I've had it up to here with Japanese writers and the 'cutscene incompetence' crutch that they seem to live on, all year round.

And all for what? So Rosie can have some kind of revelation to stop being a weak tsundere bigot? As if all the other stuff like Isara taking her ♥♥♥♥ everytime with a smile, or the burned slaves didn't cut it.

And to top it all off, Alicia has the same thing happen and they almost trip over themselves calling the MEDIC! It's like the writers didn't even pay attention to their own narrative. ♥♥♥♥ing ♥♥♥♥.

Sorry for the outburst, but this made me more angry, than any of the cheap deaths I've encurred.

Not every decision in a story makes sense.

So what? That means I can't criticize it? That's not an argument.

true. who knows? Isaar might'of been the first Darcsen the sniper saw and without thinkimg about the "better armed" Zaka, simply shot. Things like that hapens, even with trained soldiers.

Maybe, but without that context in the game, it doesn't make the scene any better.

I know. but it COULD explain why the sniper shot Isara and not Zaka, which some people are complaining about. Also, if they did shoot Zaka, youw ould of lost a tank within the first mission you had to use it. XD.

And, they couldn't have known the fact that Isara was the tank driver, if memory serves me correctly, they didn't have the Edelwiess there. The canyons were too small.

True that. Also many people here assume that the sniper had a clear shot on every member of Squad 7 and thus could have picked freely. This is most likely not the case though.

They had the Edelweiss up on the ledge firing smoke round though. Also, at this point Squad 7 ought to be well-known among Imperials. Wasn't Isara also performing maintenance on the Edelweiss at the beginning of the cutscene? That would make it fairly obvious that she's indeed the pilot.

That's not true, if anything it would be her look like an engineer. Pilots rarely run maintenance on their own vehicles. You have specialized people for that.

[nothing_cool]

I can vouch with that.

[Rogue One]

Squad 7 was well known. Imperials likely knew who the leading members were, including Isara.

I'm not sure about that; they operated in different regions of Gallia, and beause they were militia it is likely that at least some Imperials held them in low regard. Also the regular Gallian army claimed most of the militia's exploits for itself, which may have mislead the Imperials too.

For example, general Gregor, who was an influential Imperial commander, didn't regard the militia as a threat at all one chapter earlier.

[nothing_cool]

Isn't Gregor the fat guy with the annoying voice?

[ZippyVtuber]

No, that's General Damon, or, as i like to cal him, General Demon XD
