In fact, Colette gets no healing abilities and is actually more aggressive in her play style. Yet Colette isn’t the healer/white mage of the group. As such, it makes sense for Colette to carry the typical angelic-healer looks and personality: blonde hair, blue eyes, white clothes, and a sense of self-sacrifice that could make anyone around her feel ashamed. However, most people aren’t aware that this ‘chosen’ will end up giving their life, and instead believe that they will become an angel. Its story focuses on a religion that has been perverted to the point of sacrificing someone in waking up the goddess that will bring mana back to the world, and it just so happens to be Colette that has been chosen to-rather, has been bred to-become this sacrifice. Instead, my first true foray into the JRPG scene, and probably the RPG scene as a whole, was Tales of Symphonia.

This is an obvious choice in my case because, while my brother certainly is a fan of the Final Fantasy series, I never really got into it until X-2 and honestly, I’m still not really into the series beyond that specific game. Unsurprisingly, the character that I automatically think of when considering this trope is not, in fact, Yuna from FFX, but Colette from Tales of Symphonia. I still very much think this, but in writing said article I made myself consider the white mages that I had already come across in my gaming life. Good luck changing yourself.A little more than a month ago, I brought to light my dislike for the white mage trope in RPGs and my wishes that such lazy tropes would be re-worked into more dynamic characters in the future. Lloyd: Old man… There’s nothing anyone can do for you. I’ll change! Please don’t kill me! I won’t say “inferior” ever again. You can do whatever you want with this man.īoise: S–Spare me. But I hear that this world is glowing purely and beautifully. Yuan: Why indeed… Dark and repulsive feelings are still lingering on this planet. Why? Why didn’t they choose wealth, safety, comfort, and beauty?! Why? Zelos: Sorry, hunny, but if I had to rank all the women I’ve gone out with, you wouldn’t even make the list.īoise: I’ll run away from this. Kyrie: Zelos… Zelos!! *attacks, gets stabbed* So I reported back to the king and just waited for your next move. You must have felt so relieved that I was gone… All kinds of evidence came out after that. Zelos: I made up some story about evidence, played dead, and got you off my tracks.
Sorry I’m not dumb enough to let a woman’s seduction take away my brains. So I thought there might be a spy among us.
Zelos: Our investigation results were being leaked. Zelos: That’s already the third one that’s been silenced. We decided to pay him a visit, but we were a step behind. Kyrie: But I gave you a lethal dose of poison… Zelos: I waited under the hole and caught her right on the spot, bridal style. Lloyd: But I still believe that this world is not just dark and repulsive!īoise: I–Inferior being! Don’t tell me what’s right or wrong, inferior being! Kill him, Kyrie! Cut his throat open!Ĭolette: Lloyd! *runs into his arms* Lloyd! Seles: The world is not just dark and repulsive. I want to become strong like my brother.Ĭolette: The world is not just dark and repulsive. Seles: That is why I have decided to believe it as well. I’ve met plenty of people like you, who called others inferior. Lloyd: Don’t think everyone shares your illusions. Knight: We are Tethe'alla’s royal knights. Guard: My orders are the Prime Minister’s orders. You have to work and sweat under the sun a bit more. Man: It’s because you shut yourself in the castle that you’re getting weird ideas. Woman: He’s just a traveler, he didn’t do anything. Man: I don’t get it either, but let’s go back to work anyway. Man: We sometimes even receive cool beer, right? Man: I don’t get all of it, but I know I’m sick of seeing people die. Man: Since things became so chaotic, we just have to help each other, don’t we? D'you see any other solution? Manager: I don’t really get what he’s talking about, but…
