Unfortunately, when asked about expanding on Carol's Adventure mode, response is basically 'probably not going to happen'. Which is a bit depressing, considering the missed opportunities to expand on Carol's character (and Lilac's, by extension). It's harder to justify cutting her from the game since she does do things that are important to the story, but realistically, if you beat Lilac's Adventure mode before Carol's, you really aren't missing much at all. Carol's major contributions to the story are convincing Spade to help save Lilac from Thermal Base and convincing Gong to talk sense into Mayor Zao, but otherwise doesn't do anything worth talking about from a story standpoint. Save for a few extra lines of dialogue and a new stage, plus the fact that you're playing as Carol, one would be forgiven for not being able to tell the difference. She has an entire Adventure mode to herself, but one will note how disturbingly simliar it is to Lilac's Adventure mode. From a story standpoint, she could be cut entirely from the game and not affect a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.Ĭarol is the bigger offender here, though. But in the story, she really isn't important she mostly exists as a mascot for most of the game, with her crowning moment being turning into a monster after getting nicked by Brevon's knife, because plot twists and kicking the player in the metaphorical balls. Milla is a lovable character, as evidenced by the fact that she seems to be a popular subject for fanart. But that's sort of the problem once you beat Lilac's Adventure mode, you just experienced 95% of the story. The cheesy parts can be forgiven by how solid the overall story is. It has some emotionally hard-hitting moments (end of Jade Creek and Thermal Base, Final Dreadnought 3), and presents Lilac as a flawed character that's just as hurt by her chronic hero syndrome as she's benefited by it. But all of that would be fine if the non-Lilac characters played a more active role in the story. And that's pretty much it.Īlready, there's a disparity. And she has the ability to survive on her own for X years. She's a 10 year-old dog with conspicuously dead parents who can fly, create blocks and shield from basically nowhere, and abuse physics to move fast in almost any direction. She's also notably less heroic (initially can't be assed to help Lilac save Torque until she sees the threat of what they're up against) and less intelligent (suggests an absolutely boneheaded dress-up plan when they're in prison).Īnd take Milla. She's a 12 year-old wildcat with conspicuously dead parents who's basically Evel Knievel when it comes to riding a motorcycle, and rolls with Lilac after they left the Scarves. And lastly, she has the nice mix of being good at ass-kicking while being intelligent and resourceful. She has a chronic need to save people who are in trouble, and she used to roll with the Red Scarves before some sort of turning point happened. She's an average 15 year-old dragon with conspicuously dead parents and a very Robin Hood-esque feel to her (lives in a treehouse, is a thief that steals only from the rich). While the story of FP is surprisingly mature, if not all that deep, there's the real issue of it being very Lilac-centric. Also a wall of text, and I may be mistaken about certain parts of the story, so apologies for that.) (Spoilers up ahead, in case you didn't beat the game.
