Justinstrife did not call Welkin a harem lead, full stop. He/she can compare Welkin to whoever or whatever, and that doesn't mean that Welkin is that. Anyway, justinstrife didn't even compare the two, so what the hell are you on about?

I find the anime version of Welkin much more of an airhead, than the game version. Maybe it's a marketing reason for why they changed him from a guy who takes the initiative, doesn't hesitate towards battle/war, and willing to help whatever the situation calls for, to the wishy washy guy we have now. It's just like my dislike of the anime Alicia compared to her anime twin. -facepalms- It was worth buying a Ps3 and the game just to see the real story.

I REALLY prefer the game version of Welkin. He stands his ground and doesn't take crap from anyone. How he handled the issue about his sister and his in-experience to the Squad was awesome.

Lets say, for example (just an example) this sentence - I am tired of plain speech pattern that idiotic people use, but Shiroth's speech pattern is better. Though I am not comparing you to an idiot (and actually saying you are different) you definitely can sense a hint linking you to that since I could have compared you to anyone but choose 'idiotic people'. It is not a direct statement, yet a hidden implication because of the comparison. It never states directly who you are but the hint is still there because of the comparison. You have to be careful about who you compare with whom because of these implication's. I even had few of points distracted because my professor of the logistics cathedral thought that the comparison implications in my work about French Postmodern philosophy were incorrect even if I was not stating anything directly. So yeah, you have to be careful when you make comparisons, as to with whom you make them, because those hints can be misunderstood very easily. if regarding the discussion above - I am with justinstrife in this one. In the Game welkin even off-duty was not as badly airhead as he is in anime. Though, differently from Alicia, I cannot see the point of changing his character. After all, Tsunderes sell well these days, but airheads... Well maybe they thought that much more airhead Welkin would suit Alicia's new tsundere personality better?

I think you assumed too far with what I said, and was looking for something to be implied. I was very clear and to the point with what I meant. But enough about that topic.
At least we can agree with the game Welkin and how much better he is compared to his anime counter-part. I LOVED how he responded to Largo and Rosie when they ridiculed him for being green and not following him. He showed strength, far more than he did in the anime. Strength I can relate to, to be honest. |

My main guess of his character change is that Alicia's character, technically grew stronger (being a somewhat tsun-dere) so they decided to make Welkin's character dumber and weaker. If he is dumber - he will piss Alicia better, and we will see tsundere trademark funny expressions, and if he is weaker we will see more of Alicia's tsundere strength.
You know kind of like Shinji and Asuka or Yuuji and Shana. The main lead is weaker to expose the tsundere strength better (though Yuuji becomes a badass later on). I guess I would not mind it so much if game personalities were not good, but I think game personalities were pretty good so I do not think they should have been changed to begin with (though in Alicia's case, we see them jumping back to more of her original character after episode 7, can't say the same about Welkin so far, though). |

Alicia is very likable to me in the game but I can't say the same in the anime. Welkin I can see as a leader in the game, against, can't say the same in the anime. This is why I bought the game. So I could see the real personalities and accomplishments. Nothing sugar-coated, or dumbed down for the markets.

I wouldnt call welkin dumb. But everyones untitled to a reasonable opinion so meh.
But I knida aggree with the teasing of his sister scene. Would of been nicer if he handled the teasing of his sister more agressivly (how a brother would defend there sister) instead he did it calmly. but tt could of been because he didnt want petty fighting in the squad, as it leads to trouble and bad moral. So he kept calm and addressed it in an apropiate manner. Or he already knew she would get a hard time being of an acient unliked race and prepared for it, which is plausable. I will watch the scene again soon and observe better.

Probably one of the most funniest parts I can remember from Welkin, is when Alicia asked Welkin to make him put on his shirt. Then hes like, yeah shes right, you'll catch a cold. kekeke
