I agree with what you said. Honestly, if you ask me the type of antagonist that would work really well with Luna. Is a master manipulator. Type.Considering the final scene with Iviel has her being unable to resist due to the curse and is only able to snap out of it thanks to Leo, I'd say she became somewhat corrupted. We know the protagonist from the first game did give in a little because of the image we see in this game, so I believe the developer wants the characters to be canonically corrupted to a certain extent. Maybe in future games the content will scalate to reflect the characters becoming more and more corrupted, but it's hard to say. In Luna's case her corruption has been reset since Iviel is dead and his curse no longer affects her, maybe there are some lingering effects but without a sequel we can't be certain. We would need another recurring antagonist like Sadi for the corruption to carry over and grow over multiple games. I would prefer if the developer doesn't use Sadi as the only male villain, having a different rival for each group would be better since they could be tailored to exploit the different heroines better. Clearly low level grunts aren't a good fit for Luna so maybe some other bigshot from the demon army will be introduced in the future. I wonder if all the antagonists will work for the demon king or if the human side will cause trouble too, we've already seen in this game that they're no saints either.
Who instead of trying to seduce her or bring her over to his side, is instead of trying to steal feelings of doubt in her mind and heart that she’s even good enough for Leo and attempts to rig situations where Leo is incentivize to make choices to not call on Luna or actively decide against her in favor of someone else, leaving her, feeling insecure and scared that he’s going to leave her.
That would honestly be the best direction for her and I would actually be very interested in playing a game with a story like that.
The game did seem to mildly be setting up this kind of direction too. With how she somewhat babies Leo and treat him like a boy that she has to take care of over a man she is in love with. This could’ve been really interesting, but it’s kind of dropped.
Kurone somewhat treats, Leo, as if he’s an adult and that clearly appeals to him. But again, it’s never really used in ways it could be.
For the next game, at least they are keeping Luna away from NTR stuff which does make sense because they after how messy mirage was….yeah.. you’re gonna need some time to figure out what to do with her lol.
But all in all well spoken.
The only minor gripe I think I have is that..Sadi isn’t really a good villain for Luna and Leo.
He’s way too weak. He’s pretty much all bark and very little bite.
When he actually had to fight head on he got his ass, handed to him incredibly quickly. By hayato and Celia who aren’t even strong. They just have the potential to become very strong. Both of them pretty much only have basic training. And have a lot to learn, but they were able to pretty easily beat him and force him to retreat.
Luna is way higher level, way more experienced, and hard counters, his magic with the mirage and does it have things to be exploited.
If she met him, she would kill him easily. Because he does not stand a chance against her.
