She... kinda just woke up in a place that isn't Valhalla ^^;

She's a bit... speechless about it.

Unless I'm totally wrong, Valhalla isn't just "the afterlife for warriors", it served as the Norse religion's version of Heaven.

Kinda, but you -must die in battle- which is not her case

yeah but no
the "A armor? that a good idea" sounds so terrible
Or the " Touch me and you are dead " while being helpless ( at least in the moment) feel so cliché
But as i said , maybe that just a bad first impression , i currently play ff16 and the dialogues get way better after the prologue (currently mid game )

The Clive and Cid banter in FF16 is some s-tier character writing, each of their moments together is so well done

The fact that you're getting downvoted for having respectful opinions is quite telling with the community in a whole, sadly.

I personally was not a fan of the combat itself.
The lockon system gives Faye an artifical lock in. It's like her body, while doing jumps and spins, is only allowed to go up or down, not left or right, otherwise your character gets displaced with the lockon and it just makes the fighting feel... forced, or a bit floaty.

"speechless" but she doesn't stop yapping for five seconds throughout the entirety of the showcase
