My princess (?) partner is a bitch.

[here_inmyhead]

Secret of Mana and I are not getting off to a good start:

"WAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAah I WANT TO GO TO THE WITCH'S FOREST"
"But I was just told to go to Gaia's Navel. :/"
"I don't care about that! Go to the witch's forest or you're going alone!"
"Fine, fine."

*later*

"I can't get any further in here."
"I guess you need an axe... oh! You can get one at Gaia's Navel! Let's go there!"
"Aka the place you bitched at me not to go? gjdskghkzjldsghkfjdhgkjgh AUUUUUUUUUUUGH"

In a nutshell, I almost got my ass kicked in the woods just to get her to tell me I need the axe to get any further in the area. What a fucking waste of time.

At least the Sprite is cute? Much more likable than the goddamn princess by far. At lease s/he apologized for being a jerkass. :/

Heh, you turn into Moogles in this game.

Edit: Wow. I actually could've skipped the girl and gone to Gaia's Navel first before picking her up. Way to fail at design, game.

...You want to know the part that will make you break down into tears?

The canonical names for the three characters? Are Randi (boy), Popoi (sprite)... and Purim. She's only one letter off, and if you go by the "Japan has no 'm' sound" like some people do, it's easily bastardized into something else.

If it makes you feel better, going to Gaia's Navel first actually lets you break the game if you talk to her father afterwards, because you haven't 'named' her yet and so his script is confused as to what to say.

Nah, more like, "Been there, bought the t-shirt." Try having a snotty CotD who not only shares your real name, but has the exact shade and length of brown hair as you do. :P Basically Purim's only one letter off, I consider myself safe. XD

The good news is, if you did decide to break it off with the girl and go to Gaia's Navel alone, you'd later have to rescue her from a pair of extremely difficult werewolf enemies. So at least you saved yourself from that mess.

I always found it odd that, for a game where one of the purported strengths was its multiplayer capabilities, you have to do so much finagling to actually get the three characters together in the beginning.

Saves me the trouble of having to help the so-called "independent spunky heroine"! XD Yeesh, way to be more annoying, princess.

It's kinda a bummer I've only got one other person to play this game with too. XD;;

Ohgod, she was the reason I quit playing Secret of Mana in the first place. D:
