Give the pendant to Ciro Or Riltia, can't you see that FFS is trying to change the game into 'The Harem of Al the Lech'?
Implying that isn't what we're playing already. :3
Don't you dare give it to Slog.
But... but... why not? I see no better candidate! Even FFS himself has endorsed this course of action, and he would never lead us astray!
+1 Magical Slog Girl!
FFS seeks to railroad the game by enticing us to do stupid things. Under no circumstances should we intentionally follow what FFS wants us to do.
Now, whether or not we're able to determine what he wants us to do is another story.
"Railroad" may be a strong word for "offering freedom of choice with clear incentives and disadvantages." Perhaps even the opposite.
Originally I was going to be all over Magical Girl Riltia, but two things have dissuaded me from that course.
1) We know Riltia is supposed to die, probably by Ciro's hand. Hopefully we can avoid it, but it seems like a kinda Big Deal in the vein of Aeris dying that will be extremely difficult to dodge. Much like Al (who currently intends to leave the party prior to "The Event") I don't know if we should be putting all of our eggs in those baskets.
2) I've always been a fan of Goombess, and Magical Girl Goombess is
incredibly appealing to me as a character concept as outlined by Chris the OK. That's a bit of story progression I would be genuinely interested to see, and frankly MGG is probably the only character who would be changed sufficiently by the pendant to even potentially count as "story progression."
Optimal? Maybe not, but my vote is for
Magical Girl Goombess. I bet she looks really cool too.
