I finished V's route! knocked out both the normal and good endings in one, of course. I was going to make notes as I was playing so I could somewhat concisely talk about him & his route when I was finished but I ended up not really doing that aside from a few random things like this

so we're just going from the heart.

while I was playing I was actually fairly certain I was going to end up with at least one bad story ending accidentally because well, he's very confusing isn't he..? you really have to find a sort of balance, which I found hard to do particularly when it came to talking to rika. I never had any idea what I was meant to be saying to her and it was also difficult to hold myself back from being hostile sometimes. the woman talks some utter nonsense. I went with the strategy "hear her out but don't agree with her" and it seemed to work. though I have to admit that I flirted with her in texts and calls just to see what she'd say, and I (unfortunately?) do not I regret doing so... being praised by pretty women (even insane ones) is my kryptonite 😔 the voice acting from both rika and ray when it came to specifically emotional scenes was soooo immersive and enjoyable. I sometimes find rika's voice in normal conversation to be a little grating, honestly, but when she's screaming? crying? shouting? panicking? her VA did SUCH a good job.

now, V... I mean this in the most affectionate way possible, you guys weren't joking about him being pathetic. mind you I love a pathetic character who consistently makes awful choices, but calling this man frustrating is an understatement. I quite often found myself realllly struggling to understand what he was thinking, or what he wanted. his lack of willingness to accept help even when he knew he was about to do something quite frankly ludicrous was the least admirable bravery(?) I've ever witnessed, and he is PERSISTENT. it made me feel relatively distant from him for a fair amount the route, mainly because the events unfolding just meant I felt horrible for the members of the RFA and he absolutely was not doing anyone any favours (though he thought differently). I was somewhat concerned I wasn't going to recover from my perpetual state of "?????" but thankfully I actually did in the end. maybe it's my inner "I can fix them" coming out (isn't that the premise of mysme really?), but him being so frustrating sometimes sort of made it feel more rewarding when he really starts to trust and believe you, lol. there were definitely moments that got me in my feelings within the last few days, his heartfelt spiels about learning to love at the forefront. it was nice to see him not only believing in you but actually starting to have faith in himself too – after how self sacrificing he's been he deserves to put himself first. that said, while sweet, I found the good ending to be a little underwhelming. I know a bulk of potentially more fulfilling content is in VAE, but I absolutely do not have enough hourglasses to play for myself so reading the wikipedia summary will have to suffice for me for now.

tl;dr I really enjoyed the route! for me it was a level of dramatic and angsty that made it consistently entertaining and surprising without feeling like it was too much. it was an absolute rollercoaster both plot wise and emotionally, and I had fun experiencing that with so little knowledge of what was to come next. it definitely boosted my affection for V, given how little I legitimately knew about him before :)

i was thinking that me as a mysme fan getting into death note, i can never escape the mysme characters cuz, we have yongsun kim (Seven's VA) voicing Light and.....we have......Matsuda who is scarily similar to yoosung. I feel like moreso I will never escape yoosung cuz he ends up finding me in many of the anime/manga stuff I get into. Im also getting a bit interested in NANA and there we have Hachi who reminds me of him. I was really into tokyo revengers at one point and...even there I found some characters who remind me of him

And no matter wherever I go, he finds me, whether in the form of Matsuda in Death note or Hachi in NANA and...can I confess I actually find it beautiful because I always always fall for characters like that and Matsuda and Hachi are my faves in their respective series.

Oh, I feel you on that front, anon! I always find myself either seeing some traits of my favorite characters in other media I consume, or I straight up start thinking of a way to put these two universes together. I rarely do anything serious with it, but it's a fun brain exercise! Like playing in a sandbox. It's like some of these characters are just that dear to your heart, you can't help but think of them even when you're apart. It's sweet even! I'm sure Yoosung would be very giddy to hear that you can't help but think of him so often. That means he's just that precious to you! And, you know what? He's definitely the type to do the same. You two would babble to one another about different characters that remind you of each other, and I think that's adorable <3

Also, this is off topic, but GOD do I love Youngsun Kim's (Saeyoung's VA) work as Light. I honestly sometimes listen to clips of it whenever I need to picture him in an antagonistic role. Reverse au? Definitely ><

Maybe you're tired of talking about "jihyun out of character in Ray's after ending" don't worry, you don't have to answer this anonymous but at least let me tell you that you delve very well into Mysmes characters without falling into superficiality and I wish many in the fandom understood that and didn't reduce the character to "Yeah, it's that and nothing else". Serious mistake. the Jihyun thing hurts, yes, you can hate his behavior if that's how he is but he's not acting like someone else, it's a reality where he's able to go to such extremes to protect Rika and the twins even if it's not in the healthiest way possible and ends up hurting everyone in the process, he knows that, he knows he's able to lose everything if he keeps going and that's how he ends up.

I don't know if you knew this but, one argument for why "V is very out of place in the RAE" is because his VA was saying he didn't understand his character's behavior: "Hey, why are you doing that?". "What's wrong with you, man?" Those were his impressions when he played him in the after ending. What I can think is that his voice actor hasn't delved into Jihyun (at least in that aspect of dropping everything for Rika making bad decisions and putting others in danger) enough to think his behavior is weird. I don't know... Maybe he also forgot what he did in Secret ending?

Anyway, Jihyun Kim is known to be quite complex and that makes him a very interesting character, he's one of the best I would dare say. There's a lot to analyze about him.

Honestly, the only part that I'm tired of is when people start a fight or discourse about the morality of the characters. People want to assign all of the characters with a black-and-white mentality where they are either good or evil. However, that isn't how the world works.

The world isn't a place where you've got good and bad people. The best people you know can do something that isn't great and hurt you or others, and the worst people you know might’ve done something right here or there for another person.

The world is not one or the other, the world is much more splotchy and gray. There are some people who do worse than others, and there are some people who do better, but to simplify it to something where it's this way or that way doesn't help anybody. Listen, there are situations where something is right and wrong, but that doesn't apply to every situation.

These things are circumstantial and personal. Oftentimes, it comes down to the feeling that you have about it and what you need to do for your comfort.

I would quantify it to the same conversation that I have to have over and over with people about the way that forgiveness works. That is another thing that exhausts me. I love to explain things so I don't mind talking about these things over and over again, but it really gets to me when the same thing is misunderstood over and over again.

Like, the difference between V’s After Ending and Saeran’s After Ending. I only enjoy one of these for a very specific reason. It is a matter of how it gives control and consent to not only you but the characters around you.

Forgiveness or Judgement? That is a personal choice that only you should make for yourself. You should never shame somebody else to make a decision based on how you feel. The game frames it in such a way that you are allowed to choose what you want, but one ending is clearly the good ending.

You should be allowed to choose what you want and it shouldn't affect you in such a way that it guilt trips you for choosing judgment or forgiveness.

When you have been wronged, it is up to you to decide how you want to handle that. You might want to listen to other people's opinions, but that doesn't mean you're going to ultimately make the same choice as them. It's important to inform yourself of everything that has to do with that situation, but you have to do what's right for you.

It bothers me to this day that that was something that happened. It was much more of a bloodbath when it initially came out. V’s After Ending’s release was all over the place. Because on top of dealing with the fact that he is already a complicated and morally gray character, we had to deal with the fact that the game was nudging a narrative where you had to forgive Rika to get the “better ending”.

Feel whatever you want about her as a character, it should be up to you and the others to decide what you want to do personally after you have all the facts. If you don't want to forgive her, by all means, you have that choice. I don't think the game should do what it does in the Judgment ending.

One of the reasons why I think Saeran’s After Ending took so long wasn’t just because of the timing since the pandemic started and slowed down a lot of work. I think they put more time into the narrative because of how big the backlash was. They put a lot of energy into trying to correct the mistake that had been made in V’s After Ending.

When you focus on things in a black-and-white mentality, you get something like this outcome where it's one extreme or the other. We might live in a world where extremes happen all the time, But your choice of forgiveness or judgment should not hinge on fearing what might happen if you pick the more “mean” option. I talk about this a lot when it comes to choosing to forgive somebody or not, but as long as you are not hurting yourself or other people, you can hold on to whatever is deep inside your chest.

If you don't want to forgive somebody or you don't want them back in your life, you don't have to do that.

You are allowed to pick what feels right for you. Like, with me, I hold on to a lot of the anger that's in my heart but it's not hurting me or anybody else to do that. I simply know that if somebody were to tell me they were sorry for the things that they had done, I wouldn't accept the apology.

I wouldn't want anything to do with them. I don't need an apology and I don't need to give forgiveness to be healthy or happy. However, there are some people who feel better after receiving an apology or choosing to forgive. I am happy that there are people who get to feel that way just as I hope that they're happy that I have something that works for me.

In the same way that people should be happy that Saeran got to choose what he wanted to do. He chose to forgive the people that hurt him but he did not choose to let them back into his life. His choice to forgive them was to allow himself the opportunity to forgive himself for the things that he did because of the trauma he suffered at their hands.

Or, knowing that Saeyoung will never need to forgive others to be at peace. He will hold on to the hate inside of his heart without a shadow of a doubt. It's not going to hurt him to do that. He doesn't want to forget what was done to him and he will continue to hold on to those feelings because it's not hurting him and it's not hurting anybody else to do so. He remembers for the rest of his life and he doesn't let people forget he remembers. He is allowed to do that just as much as his brother is allowed to do something different.

Anyway, I got kind of off-topic. But there is so much nuance and discussion that comes from a lot of these topics but they drained me emotionally with how much I have to explain what people don't seem to get without a lot of reflection. Just like I'm tired of dealing with people who don't seem to understand how morally gray Jihyun Kim is, I’m even more tired of people who get angry with Saeran for choosing to forgive.

Unfortunately, it has a lot to do with the fact that our world at large teaches people in many cultures and societies that forgiveness means “forgive and forget”. That is not what it means at all. Just because you choose to do something different than somebody else doesn't mean that that person is wrong or stupid.

There's a lot of critical thinking that comes with these topics and I understand that a lot of people aren't playing these video games to get deeply involved with character analysis and discussion. A lot of people are just here to have fun and poke a little mischief at the characters.

For that, I salute them. If you're just having fun and you're enjoying the game, that's really all that matters. But, for somebody like me who loves to get down into the specifics of characters and into their heads, it matters a lot to me that I can understand their motivations. I love learning what makes people tick. What I love more is helping other people understand what's going on if they didn't quite get what was placed in front of them. But, I think anybody who comes here understands that I take things a little too literally and seriously.

I think it can be very hard for someone to swallow that a person can be capable of good and evil. It's even more perplexing when you realize most people don't fall into good or evil, they fall somewhere in the middle ground where it fluctuates between the two paths. Sometimes, it feels like you need to feel shameful for liking a complicated character.

For some people, I feel as though there might be this feeling to somehow justify they were wronged by others to feel better about liking them because there’s a lot of intense hate and fighting when it comes to people who love a morally grey character. Rika fans get that the worst, with V fans being the second. You can like complicated characters and you don't need to erase their actions or choices to “sanitize” them in case someone bashes you for liking a character like Rika or V.

Hell, Saeran Choi, too. We just don't see him getting that treatment as much as the other characters do that are just as complicated as he is. But, let me be the first to tell you that he has done some pretty awful things throughout his journey in this game, none of which are justified. Like, cool motive! That’s still murder! I still greatly enjoy him as a character and he brings me a lot of comfort.

But, I can tell you without hesitation that he is not someone who can be labeled “morally good”. He learns from his mistakes and tries to make them right, but that doesn't mean that anybody around him had to accept an apology. Nor did they have to let him around them.

I love V, too.

I can't explain how interested I am in him in the vein of trying to understand what goes on in his head and why he does what he does. There are times when I'm disappointed in him because I know he understands that he can do better for himself and the people around him. But, there are also times when he does things that make me feel proud of him. Times when he can acknowledge that he was in the wrong and that he needed to own up to it.

Especially when you're playing through his route where he can confess he was not a good person. He is the one who says outright that he didn't do good by Rika just as much as she did wrong by him. He can admit and fess up to the enabling and pressure that he put on her. He did those things. It is undeniable that he did those things as he confesses the depth of his action in regard to that relationship.

Is saying that he is responsible for doing wrong in any way trying to erase or disregard the fact that Rika hurt him, too? No! But, if you're going to talk about their relationship in any capacity in a constructive manner where you talk about what happened, you have to accept that Rika AND V were both wrong.

Oftentimes, that is specifically why I don't want to talk about their relationship because of the way some people try to erase V’s actions. Sorry, everyone, but V is guilty, too. That was a toxic relationship both ways. Nobody should be trying to weigh what was worse. It was all bad. I'm just as happy to talk about Rika. She is guilty of a lot and my saying that V did wrong doesn’t erase her actions. She did wrong by him, too.

I had somebody say the other day that the path to hell is made with good intentions.

I think that's a good way to describe him as a character. It's not that he went out of his way to do bad things, but it doesn't erase the fact that bad things happened because of his choices. That's the thing about having free will to do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want to do, but sometimes you need to face the consequences of those actions. Whether you made a major mistake or you made a little mistake, sometimes you need to pay the piper.

When I'm having a matter-of-fact and interesting discussion with somebody about these characters, I don't hate it. The only thing I don't like is when I feel like somebody misconstrues these characters for whatever reason. When I know the person I'm talking to genuinely wants to learn and understand the things that I've put a lot of time into figuring out, I'm having so much fun with it. I'm just not having fun when I'm dealing with character erasure.

I realised that all the Mysme VAs voicing characters in Genshin Impact voice mainly Liyue based characters

Shim Gyuhyuk (Yoosung's VA)- voices Xiao

Hyunjin Lee (Rika's VA)- voices Shenhe

Hosan Lee (Jihyun's VA)- voices Baizhu

Jung Hwayang (Jaehee's VA)- voices Chongyun.

Jung hwayang also voicing Signora besides Chongyun might be a small exception but it still doesnt change the fact that all Mysme VAs in Genshin Impact voice Liyue based characters
