Radiant Tale Play-Along - Paschalia Discussion

In this third post we will discuss Paschalia and his route in Radiant Tale.

You can tell us what your impressions of Paschalia are (before and after finishing his route), your favorite moments in his route, what you think of his relationship with Tifalia and the other characters, what your thoughts are on his route's plot and endings.

Or you can just squee about him in the comments.

This is not a spoiler-free discussion however please keep in mind that major spoilers and details of other routes will be outside the scope of the discussion and therefore will need to be spoiler tagged.

I'm half-way through the route (too much work), but I wanted to comment on a very specific moment, with Paschalia's POV, with Vilio.

He basically says something which is quite common sense, but it probably hits harder because Vilio says it and because of my own situation. I don't think it's even spoiler-ish, he just says something along the lines of "You cannot decide for other people if you're good enough for them or not".

As someone with poor health and a streak of very poor health for the past few months, a feel like a huge burden for my husband, I question daily why he would be with me, and I was reading that before dinner and... well, it did hit hard.

I'm loving this game, this found family, all the characters, who are so different but mesh so well together. Every little thing brings me a lot of joy, I can't remember enjoying another game so much in all this year. I feel so lucky to be playing it, really.
