What is the nature of the friendship between Lea and Emile? (Spoilers, perhaps)

[PvtRyan]

I mean, there *was* that hug on the top of the desert temple, y'know - a pretty intense one. Lea, too, seems to get pretty sad whenever Emile logs off. I imagine that there's some kind of <plot reason> why this is the case, but that doesn't really change anything.

Surely you don't put that kind of stuff in your game and just not expect the player to strap on their ship-goggles so hard it almost cuts off circulation?

(holy smokes this also makes me realize just now that Lea and Emile have complementary color schemes of Blue and Orange. Coincidence? Probably, but that's not stopping me from ascribing meaning to it!)

Bad fanfic! Bad! *Smacks the fanfic with a rolled up newspaper*. Geez, you get a game with anime flavor and they just show up sooner or later :D.

Very 1-sided. Emile ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about her life and Lea nods along. Emile didn't even realize Lea couldn't talk.

OP you can take off the shipping goggles any time now.

Seems to me that Emile is just one of those people who's just not good at those observational skills in general, always having a hard time with second-order logical conclusions.

Lol I'm finding this post to be troll on Emile since she's always running after Schneider. She always wants to be with that guy and even joined his guild. Anyway I hug girls all the time it's just something us girls do. ;)

Pretty flimsy excuse, if you ask me. Schneider is a "literally who" character as far as I'm concerned. He's just a guy-friend. No true love potential there.

Jesus this crap again. Same story when Tracer kissed girl in comics

Ironic that her name was ALSO Emily, just with a slightly different spelling.......and now that I think of it, Lena is only one letter up from Lea, so...... the coincidence might be REALLY strong.

Since we're talking about Overwatch references, anyone else catch the flavor text of the Golden Revolver? Lawl.

hmm... yuri

I don't like ships all that much, and you can ship 'em if you want, but the truth is, Lea is very confused and lonely due to her situation, so it only makes sense she would want to play with Emile as much as possible.

You don't even know what games she wanna play yet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I am actually more with you in general. Fun to speculate/fantasize about, but outside of that, personally, I don't think it would add anything to the game, nor would it change how I feel about the characters, whichever way the story goes.

I feel like, romance in video games is really hard to pull off effectively, hence why it's not done very much, if at all. I guess it depends on the type of game, just as it does for movies. CrossCode isn't a very cinematic game, whereas let's say, Life is Strange, is very cinematic. So for the former, it's really hard to get a romantic moment to glow or seem magical, and in the latter, they can get away with liberal bloom effects and that charismatic guitar music to set the mood and help the moment grow. Just as one example.

Games don't have to be cinematic to do a cute little couple at the end, though. Check out Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt. That game is dead-simple and it does romance within its extremely narrow scope.

Also true, 'cute' is a nice touch and that moment on top of Faj'ro was certainly heartwarming.
