Yeah yeah. Sometimes though I think some reviewers grasp at straws. The whole "getting tired" thing? I'm fairly sure there was no subtle hint there and it was just a gameplay element. After all there are plenty of other characters, some male, to play as in the game and they get tired too.
I also can't help but be suspicious of valkyrie games ever since Valkyrie Profile...
Well, at any rate unless I notice something really blatant at this point it just kinda ruins a game for me to just try and look for anything that might be offensive. Too much work for what sometimes is often just a stylistic choice and maybe open for misinterpretation. I get the points and all that, but at the end of the day I don't really want a political movement so much as I want to have fun in a game world however the authors may have seen fit. I've disagreed with messages before, and honestly the biggest issue is that "just believe in yourself" stuff they keep tossing out. The gameplay itself and my constant losses go totally against that in-game lesson, and I laugh about it every time. Anyway, I think what I'm saying is I'm "part of the problem" apparently.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
