I think what you guys are forgetting about Alicia is what Welkin said to Faldio in Varrot's office.

Spoiler for lolwut:

Given the unstable political climate and Gallia's strategic position and not to mention their Ragnite deposits. Welkin doesn't want to use Alicia's power since that will make Gallia a force to be reckoned with; a threat to both the Alliance and the Empire.

It will only escalate the conflict causing the Empire to send in more regular troops - Maximillian was but one small part of the Imperial Military Machine - to crush the Gallians.

But seeing how upset Alicia was when the Gallian troops begged her to save Gallia, I don't blame Welkin for insisting she doesn't "stoke her life flame" to destroy the Marmota.

Alicia said it howself, "How do you respond to that? What sort of life can I live from now on?" Can't you feel her pain? I know Welkin could and I understand his reasoning. In his situation I probably would have made the same decision especially if you're in love with that person.

You can say that the loss of just one life is preferable to two or a thousand or such but what happens after that? What happens when the next war comes around and another enemy invades?

Valkyria don't exactly grow on trees so they may not find another Valkyria who could do such an act or is even willing to do something like that.

If you achieve victory with your own two hands what's stopping you from doing it again when another war comes? One of the theme's in the game is practically handed to you on a plate at the start of the game. "The story of how a small nation bested a Giant."

Regardless I love the game to pieces, I'm just pissed off my PS3 and TV are packed away at the moment until the new games room is completed.

Completion date October-Christmas.

WHAT THE HELL!?
