I'm really surprised that some here still question that Dylan and Ellie as Sophia's children are part of the main story in "A Wife and Mother", while the side jobs are just useless side stories. A good way to recognize which events are unnecessary is anything that does not advance the main characters (e.g. Sophia and her familiy).
Does the meaning of the main character differ from country to country?
In "Endgame," the person who reminds Tony of his worth and makes him feel how loved he is, is his daughter.
And the person who gives Tony the courage to attempt time travel is his wife.
These are obviously important characters, but are they the main characters?
The main character is the person at the center of the story, and the story is structured around him.
The fact that not only Sophia but also Dylan and Ellie are main characters means that not only Sophia but also Dylan and Ellie will have their own stories centered around them. (Of course, that's how it's going right now)
Just because they are part of Sophia's family doesn't mean they automatically become the main characters.
(Liam is also the main character and her parents are also main characters?)
What is the standard for distinguishing between main characters and sub-characters?
Of course, sub-characters are those that assist the main character.
People wanted to see the process of Sophia becoming corrupted through Ava's children.
People wanted to see the process of Sophia becoming corrupted through Dylan and Ellie.
People also wanted to see the process of Sophia becoming corrupted through Patricia, Sam, and Aiden.
They were all in the same position.
Are these all main characters?
I'm not saying "Dylan and Ellie aren't main characters," I'm saying "Dylan and Ellie shouldn't be main characters."
This is because the main character is not automatically inherited because of family, but becomes the main character when the “writer” or “producer” decides.
The main character is someone who can lead the story even without Sophia.
(And now players are watching an event in which Sophia does not appear)
Dylan's solo story and Ellie's solo story cause Sophia's story to be delayed.
So I said in the past that there should be separate games for Dylan. (Ellie too)
And because this developer did not do that, Christine was added for Dylan and Amy was added for Dylan.
This developer said he would focus on the main story.
At the same time, this developer is cutting out a side story (Sophia's side job) while simultaneously adding another side story (Dylan's love life).
- Of course, to you, Dylan's love life is the main story, not a side story.
This is the situation you want and this is the situation I am criticizing.
And this is for the reasons you want and for the reasons I criticize.
