Capable of being very, very nasty (getting revenge on her lover by killing him and imprisoning his soul as her plaything forever claiming students who wander out too late as "victims" playing games with Opalneria's life by deliberately withholding the dangers of her magic cursing Chartreuse into beast form for not giving in to her seductions screwing with Opalneria's mind so she'll keep pursuing Chartreuse just for the sake of annoying him). Capable of being nice (such as when she helps Lillet). Very, very chaotic-and as Laith points out, very, very crazy. But while he is very harsh on devils (both in his "devils are the root of every evil" speech when he meets Lillet face-to-face for the first time in II and more openly in IV/4-2 when he comes down on Lillet for her use of the Lemegeton with force), his shortsightedness in the creation of his "ultimate homunculi" (especially the concept of using an angel as a component in a magical experiment!) doesn't seem particularly "Good" to me.although similarly to Bartido, that may be more of a case of his emotional stuntedness than an actual LN alignment. Chartreuse: I see him as Lawful, given that the very laws of the universe are his special field of study, and also given that he's put aside nearly everything emotional for the dedication of his intellect. "Good") behavior he also sticks up for Hiram and Amoretta with Ms. His reckless hotheadedness tends to confirm this, although "reckless" doesn't necessarily mean "chaotic" his willingness to sell his soul to Advocat to save Lillet certainly indicates his ability to engage in self-sacrificial (i.e. Most of the "spy" classes tend towards chaotic alignments, given the necessity for the spy to lie and sneak even though they may be very loyal and honorable to their actual cause/employer/nationality. While taking responsibility for the Philosopher's Stone disaster, being a kind headmaster, and protecting his students when need be, Gammel also shows submission to lawful authority in a number of ways, including hunting for the Philosopher's Stone on their behalf and kicking out Bartido when he finds out Bartido is a spy (see Epilogue).īartido I suspect would be Chaotic Good. He's honorably bound by his contracts, and although while he'll certainly try to work around them will follow them (see, eg. He always tells the truth.if in a way that suits his motives. Seriously-Advocat's portrayal is actually one of the better Lawful Evils out there. But at the same time she's involved in a plot to restore the Archmage, which is most definitely not the act of someone interested in law and order, she breaks her word to Lillet and steals the soul container in Loop IV, and in the Epilogue rather than work with the authorities she goes off fighting her old allies on her own.Īmoretta: Lawful Good. Margarita is basically a nice person, to wit her kindness towards Lillet right from the start and her refusal to kill Lillet and Hiram in Loop II when she had the chance and it would have preserved her secret. Hiram tends to be upright, honest, suspicious of evil, sincere in his affections, and strongly respects the rules (see Loop III, though there's some "in love with Opalneria" factored in there as well). On the other hand, she freely violates school rules and the government's law (she openly conceals the fact that Bartido is a spy from an "enemy nation" as well as Margarita's traitorious activities) all over the place. Opalneria for trying to sacrifice Amoretta in Loop IV). Margarita), but also those who make nasty errors in past lives (say, Ms. The "good" part is pretty obvious, as she goes out of her way to try to save everybody except Grimlet, Surely, and Calvaros, and she's got the whole "forgiving" thing down to a T, not only with people who do wrong (eg. *sigh*ġ Having played Soul Nomad & Phantom Brave makes me really love and hate Lujei The mission where you can only use Alchemy. I actually expected GrimGrimoire to be an average game at best and was actually impressed that it had excellent graphics, a good storlyine (Goddman it Lujei, goddamnt it 1) and a fun gameplay. Then play Muramasa, a character driven story with an altered version of Odin Sphere´s gameplay. On the other hand, I preferred Odin Sphere's gameplay-I'm not an RTS player, so while GG was fun, it was well outside my comfort zone. That said, they're both so generally awesome for story and characters that it's like deciding whether you'd rather have someone give you $1,000,000 or $1,000,007. Personally I preferred the characters of GrimGrimoire to Odin Sphere's I think the small-scale, "closed environment" of the story allowed them to develop better, while the epic scale of Odin Sphere's story maintains some narrative distance between characters and player.
