Question for all of you on the Sasha "Hype Train"
Why Exactly?
There has been hardly no character development with her whatsoever.
Here is what we know about her... She has blond hair & blue eyes with a scar on her face. She's wearing one of Nami's earrings for some reason. She's quiet...Shy perhaps, she exercises, sounds like she does competitive sparring with Ayua, she's a bookworm, and she stares at the MC when he is not looking.
Sure there is a touch of mystery about her, but why does any of this warrant her being so high up on the charts of so many people's favorite characters??? The only scene where she interacts with the MC she came across as very dull and we learned absolutely nothing about her personality/character.
I get the initial hype when she first made an appearance and there was a ton of speculation that she might be Summer, but now that Ocean has cleared that up, what is left? Just a pretty face with a scar? Her character thus far is a closed book.
So again I ask, Why the Hype? I mean, if I had never played this game and just read this thread, I would be thinking "wow" Sasha must be an amazing character, only to later be gravely disappointed with her after playing it.
Seems like it is just "The power of Suggestion" at play here. The dev says that it is one of his favorite characters, so everybody feels the need to cuddle up with the dev or something? Ocean has the script, so I get why he likes her so much. He probably has an amazing story line ahead for her character. But from the players perspective based on current game content there is no reason why she should be rated so high, unless it is solely based on looks and a scar, mystery and intrigue.
To me, most of the girls in this game are fairly close in the realm of good looks, so what sets them apart are their personality traits, and so far Sasha has shown me virtually no personality.
