>>2132268 (Dead)I meant character proper, as in you're not thinking of Rei Q as a character, but more like a plot-device character.
>Is it really horrible to have simplified characters?Depends on how you simplify them and upon the context, but the answer is generally yes. Why simplify, and why at the moment when the character would only suffer from it?
>What's the point of having complex characters if you're not compelled to care about them?Then you'd have a complex character instead of a weak one - caring is subjective.
As far as I'm concerned, Rei Q should never have existed if they wanted to make a quality character out of Rei. But considering 3.33 and Rebuild as a whole, I'm certain they never intended that.
That's why Rei Q should be a problem for people who'd like to see a strong Rei character.
