Despair! Not an OT3?!

[sincere]

Oh god I've never had this problem before, but I am having terrible difficulty.

So, first let me state that I finally finished Tales of Vesperia. It took the better part of two years, but I don't want you to let that affect your opinion of what I'm about to say: I think this is my favorite game of all time. And I think Yuri is my favorite game character of all time.

Now, to follow that up.

I ship both Yuri/Flynn and Yuri/Judith. So hard. That itself is difficult; usually I ship a lot of things, but there's always one I play favorites with. I ship Sora with Riku and with Namine, but my leanings for the Sora/Namine pairing are much stronger even though I would say operatively, I ship them about the same amount. So it's new to have almost a tie for favorite pairing. (Flynn edges Judith out just a teensy bit.)

And -- and when I go back and dwell on the PS3 version where Flynn is in your party, I feel like my ship leanings are literally collaborating. There are a lot of scenes where Judith is interested in Yuri's reactions about Flynn, or where it feels like she's measuring up Flynn because of Yuri.

I am concerned that the PS3 game is-- Judith is--

--that the universe is conspiring to make me want an OT3.

So, since I'm predictable, expect a lot of future posts about Tales of Vesperia.

I don't know if you've ever played Baten Kaitos II/Origins, but...that game is so set up to be a OT3 with the main characters. (Between the nice-guy assassin male lead, the unworldly female lead who beats shit up with her cudgels, and the tsundere genderless magical doll.) I really can't imagine the three just not being together by the end. (Even if it's not sexually going to happen but still.) I think sometimes they're just natural.

Anyway, someday I will play that game. orz I need more Tales of games. Is the PS3 version ever coming out in North America? Not that I have either system at the moment.

...That is so awesome. I ship them both really hard, too, and write both (here's the stuff in my fic journal), but it makes me SO HAPPY that the PS3 version encourages that further. ^_^
