Alisa Ending | Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

[@theheadguy1212]

I wish the trails games had set romance again. Like with Joshua and Estelle so they can properly flesh out their relationship. It feels weird pairing up 2 characters and then the next time you see them in a new arc they’re just friends again.

[@PrOtaku123]

This is definitely the cannon bonding event

[@mystery8820]

The most logical choice of romance when it comes to chemistry with Rean. At least IMO.

[@aquila519]

Alisa was cannon romance for the first 2 games but they changed it after cuz a lot of people did not like Alisa’s personality and would chose anyone besides Alisa even though she’s cannon. So they changed it and gave basically everyone equal romance

[@Blarglesnarfe]

Unfortunately, it isn't. None of them are canon in the first two games.

[@CastDeathGames]

@@aquila519 I don't dislike Alisa, but my god it felt like she was being pushed on me so hard i just steered clear out off pure reflex and by the time i realized she was not the stereotypical tsundere blonde in every anime, I had already grown attached to Laura and Emma.

[@aquila519]

CastDeath that’s the developers fault for pushing Alisa too much in the first 2 games. You can tell they don’t push really in the CS3 and CS4. But same, I’m so attached to Emma and Sara

[@xaus9287]

It’s kinda obvious this ship is the canon one. First girl he met, first one to fall for him, she bumped into him like how every relationship ever starts

Yeah, they did make it super obvious from the very beginning, but the other ships are good too. And just as wholesome.

On a sidenote, I wish the japanese version was fully voiced as well. It's such a sad lack of audio most of the time. The first 3 games even have most NPCs voiced, kind of a let down how that gets progressively worse as I work my way through the series

[@ryuhayabusa2215]

Is this from the newest version of the game because I don't remember Rean voicing this part in the game?

[@rizzamaetiglao6585]

Will he forget her in 3? Lol, or how do their relationship start again on the next one, I know bonding level will reset right?

[@ViciousKrimson]

The game will treat Rean as being single but since he and his classmates are a lot closer than they were in previous games, bonding with the girls becomes romantically suggestive much quicker. Bonding levels are now shown as stars and are viewable in the Character notebook; former classmates start at level 2 (out of 5) but will quickly progress to 3 even without optional events, so it's not quite a complete reset. It's safe to say Alisa's crush on Rean is canon. Whether he reciprocates is still up to the player. Oh, and there's still plenty of Rean x Alisa teasing.

How tf is Alisa Tsundere? Her bonding events prove otherwise

[@kyra9337]

She was in the beginning of CS1 or atleast was being kind of jerk to Rean over the hole falling on top of each other issue and kept calling him an perv even tho she knows the whole thing was an accident. Its the one thing that I didn't like her character since she kinda came off as kinda immature and think it mess up the first impression of her character. Fortunately, she gradually steps out of that now the more the plot has moved on throughout 1-2.

[@potatoesblink3299]

@@kyra9337 She had a tsundere first impression (Bond events reveal she didn't know what to do with falling love the first few weeks) and had the blonde hair and background to go with it. But she shows the opposite after at the start of the first field exercise. I mean she couldn't be farther from Chitoge (nisekoi)and Erina (Shokugeki no Soma). I swear. But yeah. You're right when it comes to Bad first impression.

[@panpan1287]

She's a Tsundere at first but unlike most of them she actually develops into a way better character I couldn't stand her at first and now she's my favorite character in the story, well except for Crow

[@RoninXDarknight]

The answer to that question is she isn't actually a tsundere. The reason so many people think she is is because she had a number of flags that generally indicate that's what she would be after the accident in CS1 and wrote her off w/o looking deeper or seeing her bonding events. Ultimately though whereas a tsundere lashes out because they cannot deal with their feelings towards the target of their outbursts, Alisa lashes out because she was scared and embarrassed about the situation and then takes a couple of weeks to apologize because she was embarrassed by her own behavior. Keep in mind too that she does apologize for her reaction...something an actual tsundere never does. There's more to it than just that though and CommRio has a great video "Why Alisa Deserves More Slack" that dives into the psychology behind her upbringing that fueled her initial reaction to Rean after their accident so definitely check that out.

[@potatoesblink3299]

@@RoninXDarknight Yeaaah!! She was just a teenage girl who fell in love and had a "meanie phase" when she was still trying to process it. She's very open to Rean for the rest of the series and a lot of the outbursts post CS1 was because she was put on an embarrassing spot.

[@SuperSpells]

A bit miffed that they got a kiss and Emma didn't... Buuuuut it'll just make the eventual pay off more satisfying I suppose. Emma is my prefered romance, but I am just looking around since I doubt I'll replay the games for the other bonding events.

@@DanTE_1203 I always thought it was pretty clear that Rean and Alisa was the canon romance I mean they get romantic moments outside of bonding events, unless I missed something Alisa's the only one who really gets that treatment The ones that stand out are when they stargazed together in Nord, their conversation on the balcony in Roer, what Alisa says to him when they get split up at the end of CSI and when they reunite in CSII

[@DanTE_1203]

@@panpan1287 it was pretty blatant that the devs were rooting for alisa in cs 1 and 2 especially by giving her a childhood backstory with rean and the only one that kisses him as well. but from 3 (currently finishing 4) it got toned down. Since the relationships with the girls reset back to square one. There's still some nudges to alisa but not that obvious compared to the first two games. tbh if it's mostly story related, outside bonding events, w/o bias, IMO emma should've been the main heorine since i think she is the most important member of the class alongside rean plotwise and whose main goal is directly intertwined with his. Not to mention celine is always there whenever rean is alone cs2 and cs4

[@KunjaBihariKrishna]

So the ending for romance paths are all the same. He breaks up with them, and gaslights them with some story about walking your path blabla. Hey listen for moment, Alisa is like the equivalent of Jeff Bezos' daughter. She has private airships, chauffeurs, special ops maids, connections all over the continent..... BUT .. apparently dating someone who lives in another town is IMPOSSIBLE. Rien is literally the son of one of the most powerful people on the continent, is also a crucial military asset that can't be replaced, and pretty much has his place in Society guaranteed .... What I'm trying to say is, there is no reason to break up with anyone. Which makes these 'endings' kinda stupid. It would be cool if he was actually gaslighting them, instead of just apparently. At least that would have some integrity in terms of story.
