Why would it dinimish Loewe's character? Cassius, and most likely, Viscout Arseid would probably be likely of beating him too, does that diminish his character too? Why does it matter? Loewe, might be the best sword fighter amongst the enforcers, that doesn't necessary mean he is the strongest or most powerful either.
It's also important to note that Duvalie isn't an enforcer, but again, why does it make a difference? She also has the advantage of having been trained by the "Steel Maiden."
We don't really know the context for that fights, so I don't really think it even matters. For all we know Loewe could have just let her win just so she'd stop challenging him to duels.
/thread
No, that's not a /thread, as that would be ludicrous too, given that Duvalie was cakewalk for a few students to beat.
Because Sky FC and SC spend a great deal of time & effort building up Loewe as the Bladelord who is immaculate with the sword.
Then they completely flush that concept down the toilet at the end of SC by making Loewe into a loser who way lesser fighters can magically & suddenly beat out the blue (even though they couldn't before).
And now with this Duvalie nonsense, they further dump on Loewe's already-greatly-diminished reputation.
So in essence, Loewe went from being the nigh-unbeatable Bladelord, to a random chump who almost anyone can beat. Whilst for his first several appearances, Loewe strikes fear into the heart of his enemies, by the time of CS2, Loewe has become a laughable joke.
A good analogy would be like with what the old Star Trek TV shows and movies did with the Borg. At their first appearance, the Borg were terrifying. But as the writers kept writing about them more & more, they soon became a non-menacing clown show & yawnfest. Such is the case also with Loewe. How tragic. He could have been a great character if they hadn't of ruined him in the ways I've described.
Subjective and entirely your opinion. For most other people he is still same well designed character he was before.
To say she was "a cakewalk for a few students to beat" is also completely wrong. Class VII definitely struggled to do so, and that was a good number of them against Duvalie alone. Being a member of the Stahlritter, she's still an extremely capable fighter. It's not out of the realm of possibility for her to best Loewe in one duel.
I really don't see how that makes Loewe's character any worse, either. He was able to fight Estelle's party to a standstill, and was able to continue fighting without showing signs of fatigue even when his opponents were struggling to stand. If you recall, the only reason he lost to Joshua is because his concentration was broken by Joshua's words about Karin and Joshua took heavy advantage of that to knock his sword out of his hands. If he hadn't done that, it's almost a certainty Joshua would have lost. Duvalie is stronger than Joshua, too - while it's certainly not expected, it's not a bad loss for him either. You're not giving her enough credit.
Joshua and Duvalie are both powerful fighters. It's pretty unreasonable that you think he somehow became a "random chump who almost anybody can beat" because he lost once to an Enforcer and an Enforcer-level swordswoman.
Yes but I wish the final boss didn't die in 1 hit on nightmare mode. At least make nightmare difficult.
Honestly story, well more so the way its told is my biggest problem. The focus is too much on Rean. Some people defend this but if a game can't give enough time for its other characters and have them just to make the main one look cooler, that is an objective failure. The difficulty I can still stomach but the focus on Rean, especially in CS2, is awful. Lemme put it this way, Elise, Rean's sister, 98% of her dialogue is about Rean. She is either teased about him or is worried about him. And I do mean 98% of her dialogue, the 2% is me giving her the benefit of the doubt. Easily the worst written character in the series. She is a literal husk without Rean. Not to mention Rean is a very bland, generic character who doesn't grow much, unlike Estelle and Loyd, so focusing on HIM of all people is a terrible idea.
Its really a case of too many characters imo. I mean the character count in the 1st game was already damn big for a jrpg then it just gets bigger with each subsequent entry....They really need to start smaller with the next story arc imo..
That said, this many character would of still been okay if the games hadnt been too Rean centered. Imo it was a missed opportunity to have all the class trips being told from Rean's pov only.
