kinu options

[Lunarghost]

is there any way to make kinu not married to any one or a possibility to make it not happen in the future. i just don't like how we don't have the choice to decide her future or have more choices with her. or at least have more fiances to choose from preferably female ones, i'm just not a fan that the option is locked in.

No can do bud, Tobs himself said that's not a thing that's happening. The idea behind Kinu is to make a character who you don't get to control. you don't get to make decisions for her aside from her events in the astral plane which shape her for adulthood.

Once she leaves the astral plane, your champions gets to just sit back and watch her/his daughter turn to greatness ^^

That's a shame seems like a wanted opportunity in my mind but oh well if that's what they decided not much you can do about it i guess,thanks for letting me know.

Let her be her own person instead of you choosing everything for her. The point is for her to leave your shadow. She can't do that if you're deciding how her adult life should go.

Yeah, part of the point of her character is that she's her own person and is going to determine her own destiny without her parents/you the player getting to decide her life. Her potential romantic partners are fixed, her questline is independent and told to the player in retrospect and all the control you have over her is how you raised her before Keros' timeskip antics.

Welcome to parenting, enjoy your stay.

Outside looking in feels like there are a ton of control freaks playing these games

I personally don't see the appeal in controlling everything as, for me, it's too much to keep track of. I like seeing Kinu use the skills the Champion taught her to become her own person, and it really stokes the fires of pride for me. As long as she doesn't forget to check up on dear old dad every once and awhile

ngl the propensity of weeb bois to act like Shōwa patriarchs is pretty creepy even if totally unsurprising

I find this and a number of similar threads disheartening, I find the lack of the concept of what a parent is/does is worrying
As children grow and eventually forge their own path
You take pride when they succeed, and make yourself available when they fail
<----- This from a man who has used this picture as my avatar for 25 years [when my kids were that size]
Why?
Much as it was hard to find role models for my daughter, it was hard to find depictions of fathers who weren't one of the following resentful, controlling or ineffectual.

Itto over here is a single parent whose lack of support network and child care never cause him to resent Diagoro [rather he he sees him as one of last vestiges of joy]
Itto recognizes the importance of agency in your child's life
one-year-old Daigorō is given a choice by his father: a ball or a sword. The boy chooses the sword follows his father on the cursed journey for vengeance

Not saying that it would be a choice I'd like to give my kids.

You have no idea.

It would have been better to see the champ reacting better to that prospect, and took into the account that the champ didn’t see kinu as much as kiyoko
