Favorite Ys Heroine

[Red Hairdo]

Pool is self-explanatory.

This suddenly came up in the Spam thread, but since this kind of discussion is always interesting, I decided to post where all ALOY members would see.

(Also, I get the feeling such a pool was already created... now was it?)

Well, here's my post from the Spam thread, quoted:

No we don't. What happened in Ys IV PCE never happens.

Only in your dreams (and in Ys IV PCE).

xD I was just joking, hehe. But yeah, only in Dawn of Ys (uncanon) and in my dreams.
Also that's why I put the " " xD

Though Adol does get married at some point, I guess someone here said that in the Ys I~VI Perfect Data book it is revealed Adol gets married when he's 23 or something, but it didn't say with who. (And it was when we began talking about a dating Ys Simulator game xD)
Well, I think Falcom could clarify that matter in Ys SEVEN. But I don't think they will, I think they could be afraid that depending of the woman they choose for Adol may hurt the series' sales, as some people would probably prefer another girl that wasn't chosen, etc..
Argh, damn Falcom & marketing. xD

But speaking very sincerely, I always felt inclined to see Lilia as Adol's most likely pairing... in both Ys IVs Lilia returns, being the only heroine that returns in an Ys game (Well, Feena too. But I understood she left Adol for good due to her Goddess' responsibilities). Lilia originally had a hair as red as Adol's, for me that seemed like a hint of some sort. Also in SFC's Ys IV she and Adol kiss (that is canonical! xD), and they have a son in the PCE version (uncanon, but still something? xD By the way, I never beat the PCE version... Shame on me. And I was accidentally spoiled on the ending. >.<) And she obviously had the biggest crush for Adol among the heroines.
(Also they kiss in the ending of PCE's Ys Book I & II, but I guess that's also uncanon.)

Well, that's why I feel inclined to believe she's the one. But of course, Falcom can do as they please. I may just be totally wrong on my guess.
If Falcom ever reveals who the girl is, I think it will be the most popular one in Japan. I think the most popular is either Lilia or Elena (but I still think Lilia's slightly more popular? I dunno, I feel that way because one of these lasts JDK music albums only featured Lilia in the cover (and not other heroines). Of course, Adol and others too.

That's what I think anyway. Who knows! *suspence*

[FM-77AV]

I'm honestly upset! Where's, uh, what'shername.........

?

From Ys 5! And 6!

I don't see the name on the list! The name that I've forgotten!

I can't even remember the name of my favorite. Guess I don't really like the Ys heroines.

Edit: Okay, I lied. I wasn't honestly upset. I wasn't even slightly upset. Just, bothered. Because I can't remember that name.

Edit #2: TERRA!!!

Now where's that name on your list? Where is it? BRING IT.

This thread fails. Why cannot polls be edited? Stupid Pro boards.

Actually I like all of the females but if I had to choose, I'd go for Feena. After all, she's the very first female lead Adol meets. But I highly doubt a Goddess and a human can be together.

Why not?! Godesses and humans (or atleast human heroes!) are a perfect match! They're meant to be together! Then the hero can die all happily at age 60 or something after declaring 'I must die to preserve my looks. Ha!' and leave a poor Goddess wife weeping. XD

Otherwise Lilia is perfect. She's the perfect candidate for 'the one who sits at home stitching flags and banners while hero trots around the world having loads of fun and multiple flings'.

Actually I like Lilia the most. I mean, I like Olha too but, I think I would prefer if Adol ends up with her rather than Olha. (Wouldn't he have problems with both sisters all over him? )

I voted for Dogi though! (since you said, don't vote here please! XD)

[Gamemusicfreak]

Carna

[FM-77AV]

Also, where's Lisa? She has a crush on Eldeel and is a helpless, useless loser though, so I guess it doesn't qualify as a heroine.

[Red Hairdo]

Uh, Terra, I knew I was forgetting someone.
But that's why I put that last option there, just in case!

I know.

Interesting phrasing of that question. Based on what you actually asked, I had to choose Olha, as she's far and away the coolest of the Ys heroines IMHO. If you had asked who I THINK Adol will end up with, my answer would have been Lilia... and if you had asked who I THINK Adol SHOULD end up with, my answer would have been Dogi.

-Tom

Oh yeah, a similar pool asking "Which Heroine do you think Adol will end up with?" would be just as interesting.

I ended mixing things up in my post, as Lilia is the heroine I like the most + the one I think Adol should end up with + the most likely heroine to be chosen (if ever revealed who Adol marries).

Oh! I see another reason for why Adol should end up with Lilia: their children will most likely have red hair!!!

[Incog Neato]

LILIA HATE

She's useless! >:E All she does is cause problems for Adol! Damn bitch.

It's Dogi all the way, baby!!!!!!!

[Ranzor]

Feena, 'cause she's the cutest and she's a godess.

[Red Hairdo]

As for that problem, Adol could just wait a couple of years or something. xDDDD


... You voted on Elena, right, MP83?
I memorized how the poll was progressing.


To be honest, all of them rule. Since Adol is a pimp...[/badmessagestop]

*blinks* Though, I don't mean to sound like I don't believe you- but where in the book does it say Adol gets married at 23? That should happen like... really soon in the games, because he's 23 in Ys VI. D:

Answer...:

Though Adol does get married at some point, I guess someone here said that in the Ys I~VI Perfect Data book it is revealed Adol gets married when he's 23 or something, but it didn't say with who. (And it was when we began talking about a dating Ys Simulator game xD)

23 years or something.
Also it wasn't me who said he gets married, but it was said in a topic here that Adol gets married around his twenties, and that the info comes from the Ys I~VI Perfect Data Book.

[Musa-Revived]

For some reason, after reading the earlier posts, I remembered something about Adol dying at the age of 60 something. So I flipped through the Ys I-VI Perfect Data and read that since his records ended sometime at the age of 63, he was deemed to be "missing" and not "dead". Well, that made me hopeful that he didn't die yet at that age...

[Copyrighted Name]

Just voted Lilia. She seems the most "right" somehow. Then again, I completed Mask of the Sun yesterday, so it could just be excess Lilia-rescuing clouding my head.

Edit: Though in termsof coolness, I'd probably say Karna, Dawn of Ys model.

And speaking of Ys I-VI Perfect Data, anyone know where any sort of info is on that? I'd buy it, 'cept I barely know a lick of Japanese.

[Musa-Revived]

There's tons of info in the book. It's huge and hardcover. You can probably smack someone senseless with it. It's basically stuff about all the games of Ys I-VI with synopses and picture galleries, well basically whatever information u need about the 6 games. However since Ys Oath and Ys Origin came out after the book, it's no longer the "Perfect Data".

Knowing Falcom, they'll try to milk money by publishing another "Perfect/ Complete/ Final Data" for the Ys series. I only hope they do that after they re-release Ys 4-5 and maybe give a preview of 7 onwards. Then maybe 10 years later after they officially end the series, there will some kind of "Ultimate Anniversary of Ys" or something like that


Unfortunately Falcom and Amazon no longer sell the book, so you're gonna have to find it elsewhere.

[Red Hairdo]

I looked for the book everywhere, it's just impossible to get it. I tried e-mailing Falcom, I tried to ask for it in a japanese magazine & books import store, but they said "it's out of production".

I heard Adol died at the age of 63. I didn't know that in the book was said "missing" instead of "dead" though. Are you very sure they used that word?

Note: I love Lilia. xD
But why some people actually hate her? =( As far as the heroines go, only Olha, Terra and (mostly) Karna aren't "useless".
Oh, also Karna rules! She's very "Adol-spirited", I think.

[FM-77AV]

Yeah, Lilia definitely is a terrible character. Especially when there's voice acting involved.

[Incog Neato]

IIRC, the Adol dying at a certain age misinformation was due some fanfiction set-up that a Japanese Ys fan MIDI composer wrote on his page a while back.

Can't remember the guy's name though and I think I backed up all the MIDIs I downloaded from that site, uh, 11 years ago so I can't even check for his name. ^^

[FM-77AV]

Yeah, that Atsushi Fukai dude and his fan story for his "Project Ys" cd. Adol went to the north pole in his 60's, and died.

[Red Hairdo]

Wait, wasn't it also said in Ys ETERNAL's loading screen that Adol died/ lived until the age of 63? Because if so, no one can go wrong with that.
