Title: Ayla is the Best Girl and the Ultimate Waifu
Post by: Boo the Gentleman Caller on August 19, 2020, 12:31:55 am
Fight me.

Reason #1: She's the only character in Chrono Trigger so awesome, she doesn't need character growth; she's already at the pinnacle of awesomesauce when you meet her, and that only carries over through the game.

Reason #2: I'm sort of scrawny and not a very big guy, and as buff as Ayla is, apparently she doesn't care about masculinity in the typical Americana way.

I mean, she likes Kino, and he looks like he's 12, right? So I am a shoe-in!

Ayla is my favorite as well.

It's true. Although I do wish Ayla had a sidequest of her own, she's the character who needed one the least, since she's already got her life together.

Kino might not look like much, but he's the second-strongest person in Ioka village. Distant second, but still.

I actually always thought that he was a girl in the original...I don't know why...

Hack idea: Kino is a girl.

Lucca's still my favorite waifu.

Post by: Boo the Gentleman Caller on August 24, 2020, 10:30:15 pm
Reason #3: Ayla isn't a damsel-in-distress and needs no protector. In fact, something tells me she'd protect me.

Fight me.

Gladly. Meet me at 12 at noon, in the middle of Greenwich. You can get your barbed club, while I get the cops.

Because obviously nobody can deny that Christina is the Best Girl in Chrono Trigger.

She's from a certain show called "Chrono Trigger 3 -- The Steins;Gate", where Lavos resurrects Queen Zeal to create the Illuminati in order to stop a bunch of engineering students from creating a the Epoch in the modern day.

Also her erotic explanation of time travel was great.  :)

Hokyo further establishing that he is a doofus.

I need to play more to get to this Lesbomagnetic field. Or will I need the anime for that bit?

Where were we? Oh right, Lesbomagnetic fields.

I've played the original, as well as SG0, but I completely forgot if the game actually had the Lesbomagnetic Field statement. I only know that the subbed-version of the anime had it (the dub changed it).

I do know that the game is filled to the brim with JoJo memes, from the Rohan Kishibe meme you used, to Kurisu messaging "ROAD ROLLAH" to you, to Daru pulling a Bucciarati in one of the endings.

There's even a Za Warudo when one of the characters is introduced.

EDIT: I just remembered that Hokyo even does a Joseph Joestar in the future in SG0.

Post by: Mauron on August 25, 2020, 05:52:34 pm
We will have our 69th Roundtable discussion to address the lack of Lesbomagnetic Fields in anime dubs.

I'm sure I'll miss most of the JoJo memes, except when they give a tip on them.

My first experience with Road Rollers was this:

(https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/aj8Qbrg_700b.jpg)

I later learned it was a JoJo reference.

I'll probably get to Steins;Gate 0 and Steins;Date at some point. I have weighed the pros and cons of Steins;Date.

Pros: Lots of cute girls as love interests.
Cons: You play as HoKyo.
Title: Re: Ayla is the Best Girl and the Ultimate Waifu
Post by: Mauron on August 29, 2020, 11:52:05 pm
I went and platinumed Steins;Gate.

There was an image of Part-Time Warrior and Christina the Pervert as Seiryu and Byakko at one point, which made me wonder who the other gods were. I'd say Mayuri is Suzaku for plot related reasons. Maybe Lukako for Genbu? Let's just get her to come out of her shell.

I love how we just straight up hijacked Boo's thread, lol.

Nah, Suzaku is Hokyo. I mean, he literally calls himself "Hououin", a Chinese Phoenix. While Suzaku and Houou are two different creatures altogether, they do share common symbolism with the Phoenix. Plus, just like Crono in CT experiences a death and rebirth, Okabe also experiences a (metaphorical) death and rebirth in SG0 in the Dr Jordan B Peterson sense.

That would probably make Mayuri "Genbu" for metaphorical and symbolic purposes. Or Lukako for the shell metaphor. Or Daru because looks like a turtle.

Glad to be of hijacking assistance. :P

Quote

"Houou as in Phoenix, then in, then Kyoma as a secret which must not be revealed."

Mayuri got shot, hit by a car, hit by a train, became a gelmayu, had a heart attack, and probably a few other things. Also I don't want to give HoKyo any credit if I can avoid it. :P

This one I can agree with. :P

Speaking of lesbomagnetic fields... Lucca tends to get all the pseudo-lesbian idolism, but...

Reason #4: Ayla recognizes, respects, and is largely attracted to strength. Physical strength, mental prowess, strength of character...

I bet she would swing any direction she wants and would refuse to even label it.

...5 minutes later...

After typing this up, I wanted to find her actual quote about liking strong people ("men and women"). Personally, I don't really think there is any intentional sexual orientation applied to the quote, but I found this and thought it was at least a little interesting: https://legendsoflocalization.com/aylas-sexual-orientation-in-chrono-trigger/

I share it between both of them. Especially with Ayla's line.

Quote
The only character whose sexual orientation ever came up was the villain known as “Mayonna” in the Japanese version, also known as “Flea” in the English version.
I could make a long list of exceptions, including one of particular note between two PCs, but I'm lazy and just grumble that is only referencing non-straight orientations.

Speaking of referencing non-straight orientations, Mayuri gets all the yuri flags in CT3: Steins;Gate, with Christina the Pervert, Faris Nyannyan, and Lukako LongJapaneseLastName. Must be her name.
Title: Re: Ayla is the Best Girl and the Ultimate Waifu
Post by: tushantin on August 31, 2020, 10:33:57 am
I dunno, man. I've always seen Ayla's appreciation for strength (physical, mental, etc.) as more of a sign of respect than an actual sexual attraction, even if "respect" often leads to sexual attraction (besides, I doubt anybody in her tribe is even stronger than her, physically, mentally or by character). Otherwise she probably wouldn't pair-bond with Kino of all people.

Besides, I generally don't give a rat's ass about a character's sexual orientation unless it's relevant to the plot or their development as a character (for example: Luka's development as he learns to weigh personal satisfaction and responsibility, a point in the story that gets overlooked by most fans, but is also what makes me admire the character, especially thanks to his extended development in SG0). Otherwise it only seems to matter to me if it's hentai.

Lukako LongJapaneseLastName. Must be her name.
Daga otoko da!
Title: Re: Ayla is the Best Girl and the Ultimate Waifu
Post by: Mauron on August 31, 2020, 01:17:47 pm
Maybe Kino is brilliant by cave person standards? In which case Lucca must be impossibly attractive.

Daga otoko da!
MWAHAHAHAHA! Do you think Lab Mem 006 would be restrained by a mere thing like biology? She was a woman, before and after the D-Mail! This is the will of Steins Gate!!!

Besides, else could Mayuri have yuri flags with her?

The thing about Mayuri, though, is that everybody seems to be attracted to her besides Okabe. Even without romance, she seems to be the reason why Hokyo even has friends, and WITH romance you get people like Daru simping over her sometimes, Fubuki (her friend) sexually harassing her, and even Fubuki's brother (in LBP) willing to give his heart and soul to her.

But SHE, on the other hand... er... well, you'll see. Let's just say she's only interested in one particular person's D-Mail.
Title: Re: Ayla is the Best Girl and the Ultimate Waifu
Post by: Mauron on September 01, 2020, 04:31:14 am
Fubuki gets on screen somewhere? Neat.

Based on what I've seen, Mayuri only has eyes for Christina... and maybe some Stockholm Syndrome feelings for the insane mad scientist that kidnapped her.

Biggest unanswered question in the game is how Daru had kids.

Yeah, in SG0. The VN, specifically, has an interesting role for her (I'm not sure if you'd be surprised by it, but it did surprise me.)

Reason #5 - She lives in prehistory, yet if you look at her closely, her nails look stellar. That means she gives great back scratches!

Actually...

Reason #6: Despite living in prehistory, Ayla's hair is bangin'. Long, luscious, and styled with no less than the finest floral agents the Forest Maze has to offer, Ayla has hair that makes even 1970s Susan Sommers jealous.

Frau Koujiro (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljz_mM8tYr0) from Robotics;Notes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bEBvS-zrh4). If Daru was a high-school girl with Christina's tastes, he'd be Frau.

Story takes place 9 years after Steins;Gate. Which means roughly 10 years after Chaos;Head, and 4 years after Chaos;Child.

(Note: Avoid the anime-adaptations for anything that isn't SG or SG0. Robotics;Notes anime is "okay", but the games are still preferable.)

<3 those pervy girls.

For real though, Ayla smashing into the scene, pinning Crono to the wall and then declaring that she likes strong men and strong women too (bi cavewoman rights!) and then reacting with "No rubbish or Ayla head go boom!" to Robo trying to explain what he is to her and then inviting them all to party with her tribe was one of the moments that made me really start loving Chrono Trigger. I also thought it was adorable and pretty funny that one of her moves is literally giving kisses to injured party members to make me feel better! And then later on she's able to steal stuff from opponents in through the power of flirting and no one can resist her sexy cavewoman wiles... absolute legend.
Side note: I also really liked the bit where she smacks Kino and then explains to him that no, it's not that she personally thinks he's bad, is that she actually likes him a lot and respects him and it disappoints her to see him act like a petty jerk to Crono. Minus the smack, I think it does a nice job of showing a level of social skill and leadership on her part, helps me understand why she's the leader of Ioka village. And then later on when she's willing to offer help to Azala (one of my favorite secondary/antagonistic characters in CT) it's like she's not even thinking about humans vs. reptites, good us vs. bad them anymore, she just wanted to help someone she respected. She has that line about Azala being really smart early on. I think it's probably easy to mistake Ayla for being just dumb muscle/eye candy due to her being a literal cavewoman, but she's actually pretty emotionally mature, at least in my opinion. Anyway yeah Ayla kicks ass
