>>55423397>But didn't Ohmori do most of the writing? I know he wrote Arven's character. Plus Lillie had slight romance bait too. Are you sure he isn't partially responsible for this?That's exactly why I specify the DLC. The main game had the same amount of minor hints as other 3D games, mostly Lillie (as Elio) and Shauna. Maybe Marnie, though that might be the dlc tournament. Nothing out of the ordinary, but still slightly more kiss-up than even the usual, though I let it slide since they're a legitimately good friend group for the first time in forever.
>Although I'm pretty sure the "main culprits" are the women on the team with how much some parts are basically straight out of an otome game, especially Kieran's story.Those have been my suspicions, too. The whole Drayton thing at the start makes it even funnier. The sheer pain you can see the writers in every 2 minutes of dialogue, including post game and in the league club, trying to not make it a romance vn you can find on the eShop is a greater source of comedy than any joke in the series, though how many women (especially Japanese) actively lust for Kieran irl with no shame or fear comes damningly close for just how blatant it is. "I can fix him" my ass.
