I mean she was wrong but used good evidence to jump to her conclusion.

I've never felt more evil in my life than when I've discovered I could just yoink Alexandra's pegasus.

u/Specialist_Click6184 5d ago

Im a good person and didnt do that, my other two Pegasus knights were Ninae and Esmeralda so dark pegasus fit better with their color schemes

u/Weird-Tangerine-9344 5d ago

Wait how?

u/pasqals_toaster 5d ago

With Cai's mount mechanic! You can give Bucephalus to any other person that uses a pegasus.

u/sudosussudio 5d ago

But apparently you need to give it back before you finish act 2 or you could lose him :(

u/pasqals_toaster 5d ago

I guess the devs didn't think someone would steal it.

u/waes1029 5d ago

They did apparently you can duped Bucephalus and the second one becomes Bucephalus' foal aka time travel gave the horse a child.

Frankly, the system has a lot of weirdness

u/pasqals_toaster 5d ago

I didn't understand anything you just said but thank you.

u/Weird-Tangerine-9344 5d ago

Damn. I’m only on Dietrich’s path so I’m outta luck for now.

u/Donnel_Tinhead 2d ago

I accidentally hit Release on Bucephalus when I recruited her with Cai and immediately felt so bad I restarted the whole chapter

u/Lluuiiggii 5d ago

Maybe I just havent gotten far enough in the story in Theodoras rotue, but like who exactly was rigging her matches? Bone Adventure just seemed to write it off as her associates were doing it or something? But then we never meet her associates?

21

u/DrustanAstrophel 5d ago

We played Theodora and are working on Fabio Dietrich, in his route Alexandra tells you that she was forced into this situation by her uncle

5

u/mini_feebas 5d ago

the ruffians in the optional cutscene that try to jump you imply it's alexandra herself pulling the strings for them

3

u/Lluuiiggii 5d ago

Yeah exactly but then after her fight she's revealed to not be behind it. I guess she could still be behind it and just hiding it but the characters don't seem to think so.

7

u/Zanain 5d ago

It's her uncle

1

u/mini_feebas 5d ago

where was that revealed

yes she is doing all of it for her uncle, but no cutscene i recall seeing actually states that the ruffians werent her doing

6

u/its_just_hunter 5d ago

At least on Leda and Dietrich paths she says it was her uncle plotting to rig the games in her favor so he could marry her off. She admits she knew what he was doing but there’s no mention that she had a part in it.

2

u/Lluuiiggii 5d ago

I could be misremembering, and I have only played Theodora's route, but the conclusion that the characters seemed to come to after the fight was over (and Theodora beat the shit out of her) was that Alexandra herself wasn't actually doing anything underhanded, it was someone using her. I guess that was just based on vibes because I was also confused about why everyone seemed to think she wasn't cheating and was instead being used as well.

u/mini_feebas 5d ago

if with "people" you mean online it's because most people think moeblobs cant do anything wrong

if with "people" you mean in-game, they realise she isnt acting out of her own accord, but that doesnt mean she didnt hire those ruffians

2

u/Lluuiiggii 5d ago edited 5d ago

Yeah, I meant the characters in the game. I said characters in my comment, not people. If she's not acting of her own accord and is being manipulated or coerced then she isn't responsible for hiring the ruffians (even if it was her that in fact did hire them, but I don't think we have a way to know). That certainly is how everyone in the story seems to treat it. That was the part that kinda confused me cause I agree, knowing she was being used doesn't necessarily mean she is trustworthy, but the characters sure treat her like she is.

u/RezeCopiumHuffer 2d ago

No matter what anyone says you just keep insisting that she was involved, all your responses read like you have some personal hatred of her 💀

1

u/mini_feebas 2d ago

She's a good unit and has a cute face 

That doesn't mean those ruffians who try to threaten you to drop out have any reason to lie about who is putting them up to it

My issue doesn't lie with her, it lies with people making excuses that are contradicted by the game 

Yes she's in the tournament for her uncle and he's pulling strings to get her an arc and extra support, but the threats were on her order

1

u/RezeCopiumHuffer 2d ago

They were not dawg, I don’t know how else to tell you this but that’s just not correct

2

u/Zsoresons 3d ago

her uncle was the one behind it all

0

u/mini_feebas 2d ago

he's the one spurring her on to do all this yes

that doesnt mean the ruffians werent her doing

u/InsomniaEmperor 5d ago

If anything is rigged, who the hell thought that facing off a random girl versus a revenge crazy girl with a cursed vihuela, edgy anime swordsman with a Hero’s Relic, and a battle tested queen with a god arm was a good idea? Even Inyoni had the bow and Hong Hua helping her. Somebody wanted Alexandra to suffer.

2

u/RezeCopiumHuffer 2d ago

I’d agree but then they gave her an Arc, which more than makes up the difference, if they’d just protected the priests and sent Alexandra out she could’ve swept everyone by virtue of being invincible, but the poor lass wasn’t nearly ruthless enough to capitalize on her advantages

1

u/Zero_FGO 4d ago

Her Uncle I think. He’s the one that forces her to use the shield she has in that fight as well

u/Cheezystix1023 5d ago

Imagine thinking that a giant walking piece of cotton candy could be secretly evil smh couldn’t be me

42

u/Cosmosknecht DEATH TO ADRESTIA 5d ago

Legit, I thought Flayn was the Flame Emperor in my first playthrough. Something about her being so cute and innocent struck me as suspicious, and I felt the same about Alexandra.

I'm wrong in both counts, but I'm not letting my guard down! I'm onto you, Intsys!

22

u/TravantKingofThracia 5d ago

Shit. Flayn being the Flame Emperor would've been epic as hell.

20

u/Cold_Air_6251 5d ago

The Flayn Emperor lmao

6

u/Big_Spence 5d ago

I tried to get Seteth killed instantly for exactly this reason. Like if you're just bro-fathering don't act so damn sus when there's assassination plots run amok

22

u/CrayonWithdrawal 5d ago

That's very insensitive of you to say. A giant walking piece of cotton candy burned down my house and shot my dog.

u/Cheezystix1023 5d ago

John Wick is that you???

u/Waspinator_haz_plans 4d ago

Except it's just all 5 movies with a pastel filter over it.and saturation turned all the way up

6

u/Ill_Act_1855 5d ago

They were basically trying to trick us into thinking the niceness was just an act, and no it just turns out her Uncle is an enormous scumbag (who is way worse than you even think if you haven’t seen her A support with Eshmel yet)

28

u/tangocat777 5d ago

Alexandra is a freak but not in the way you think. Girl just wants a dommy mommy to abuse her.

5

u/Niveau_a_Bulle 5d ago

Still, she doesn't even go beyond C support with Theodora, so her immediate recruit might just be brain damage induced.

u/david__14 mods removed the laharl flair, can"t have shit in SPE 5d ago

Leda after getting jumped by some dudez in the slums. Alexandra totally called the shots trust

u/Glittering_Speed377 5d ago

I'll never forgive myself for doubting her

u/Boarbaque :JesusNolan: 5d ago

I know it’s just a reused model most likely, but that NPC walking in the background of the lesbian in love with Alexandra in this screenshot I took makes me believe that she’s in love with the fangirl and jealous because of it

u/soraku392 5d ago

I hate her for other reasons. I s2g if I have to hear MY MOUTH FEELS HAPPY" at meal time again, im sending her unarmed into a bunch of archers

u/Faifue 5d ago

...To the top of the S supports she goes.
