So how about you. Who's your favorite waivu?
I don't really have a "Space waifu" from Phantasy Star, mostly because I've only played PSO2 and New Genesis. I can barely remember playing PSO1 from Dreamcast.
While the obvious choice would be Matoi, it feels like that's more of the story pushing us together than genuine feelings on her. I mean don't get me wrong she's definetly my type but I still think she is intended for Ash. Ash is PSO2s default Hunter and protaonist of the game, it's ment to be his story. We the players are just filling his shoes.
I do see the appeal in Risa. She is someone I would normally feel at odds with with due to her dacnolagnomania but getting to know her more I can see why she is still a nice person. I would be tempted into a commited relationship with her but the same part of me that would love her would also fear her, and know I can never fully satisfy her without her gun to my head.
Quna is perhaps close to someone I'd regard waifu, and not because of how popular she is as an idol but from getting to know her through ehr story arc with Hadden. How she needed time to get to know me and me to her as well. It just felt more genuine than the story scooting me with Matoi.
Pati I also think is cute, though will admit she is a bit ditzy. I also have trouble keeping my eyes to her face at times.
As for New Genesis I'm pretty torn between Aina and Mannon, my new "friends" in New Genesis. I suppose if I had to choose it be Mannon.
Sorry if it's not a very clear or definite answer on who's my number one waifu is. I never really felt a proper connection with any of them off the bat (Nothing like the first time I watched MLP:FiM and had knew Fluttershy was my waifu the moment we meet her) Maybe if the story of PSO2 was less scripted on how my character interacted with others and perhaps implimented a "dating sim" feature of sorts I'd feel more sure about it.
