Talk:Eric der Vogelweid/@comment-44958691-20200225202534

i think something most ppl miss sadly is WHY everyone moves on so quickly after his death (sans his family) it's kinda subtle if you dont talk to all the npcs religiously like i do. But it makes a lot of sense in the world they live in, death is everywhere and the luxary of mourning is afforded only to the rich now since everyone else is too busy getting ready for their next mission. I think tsubaki says a line about his death thats like”we have to keep moving forward so his death isnt in vain” they didnt want to move on, they had to and if they stop to really think about him and his death, how it was so simple and easy for him to die a meaningless death then none of them could keep going, that fear would that even the greatest among (not saying poor eric is) them can die to even the smallest of enemies would hold them back. So while it looks cold really none of the godeaters can look behind them because of the duty they carry they have to look and move forward to carry the burden of all those who've died. I like eric's character and how cute he is about his sister ^.^ I think lindow's arc better covers a lot of the point's of eric's death better but I think he was supposed to be this first hard hit to the player about what this world is like, how survival has really trumped all basic things we think are important to a society. Hey mayhaps im reading too much into it but I like to think the story was a little more thought out than 'he died how sad, lets be sad annnnd back to the missions' plus you can see how his death affected his farther and how his father's arc plays out in ge2 so he had lasting effects even if not everyone notices them ^.^;
