Quite possibly the best written female character in video game history. We all wish we had some annoying, yet infectiously cheerful, tomboy childhood friend to pull us out of crushing depression.
Estelle is the best written female main character of any fictional media I've ever seen. Much better than flat girl boss supposed to be 'badass' main character like Lightning (FF XIII), Rey (Star Wars), or Captain Marvel. She is infectious, with funny and hilarious personality (but not annoying like Forspoken MC), she can hold her own in a battle, but there's more to it, she can fall in love like teenager girl as well and be depressed when she got "cucked" at the end of FC. As MC duo with Joshua in the sky FC and SC, she can hold her own against Ouroboros but she aren't all powerful like many "girlboss" MC in modern movies, sometimes she need Joshua or the others to help her too (and not make Joshua the weaker and imbecile ones to make her shines).
@@thebosicothe Bro I had the exact same experience lmao. I played Sky like a year or two after Berseria and Estelle immediately shot up to Velvets level, if not higher.
Her honest and kind personality that clashes with her hotheaded personality many times results in unintentional comedy, like how she gave a legit advice to duke dunan or how she apologized for the ruckus right before the race in Crossbell Like, you have to be a really miserable person to actually hate her lmao
Trails series got some same characters name, like how lloyd bannings mentioned by estelle he got same first name as someone from liberl fisherman guild.
@@alfianardiansyah6663 Oh, I know there are some names across the different series of games in the Trails franchise. But at 11:15 or so you have Tio there with blue hair, and at 43:13 it's black. Usually they have unique names inside the same game so I just thought this was unusual :) I'm assuming these are the same character.
@@nicogalax Nope. Tio Plato was introduced in the Crossbell series. The Tio in this video is a friend of Estelle. Yet she appears twice and with different hair colours ^^ Maybe she was just going through a phase ^^
In a vacuum, I can totally understand this sentiment. At any given moment, Estelle is very tropish and doesn't seem all that interesting. It is the development of her character, how unapologetically the writers lean into all her tropes to the point where she becomes something greater than the sum of her parts (yet still remains a very believable and flawed human), how unyielding and bold *she* is (which to be fair, means a lot more in Japanese culture than American culture), and of course, her level of brutal honesty (even about herself) and snark. For me, I particularly loved how the writers pushed the boundaries of her character to such great effect to really punctuate the story. When she finally "breaks" in the second game, it was a moment that really meant something because of how strongly the writers had established her unbreakable nature.
@@CurseOfTheSox You are amazing. It could have been easy to give some snarky reply or just bash the OP for not understanding. Instead, you put in time to respectfully understand where OP might be coming from and explain your personal opinion. The world needs more people like you. Also, I totally agree with you! 💛
@@lexaurelio2446 Wow... Thank you! It's probably a fool's errand, but there's so much negativity everywhere that I'm just trying to do my part to get back to a world where we can all have different opinions, yet we stay respectful and try to walk a mile in each other's shoes, and we all still hang out together at the end of the day even if we disagree.
even as a child, estelle is so likeable... one of the best main character i ever known..
"(Was it always so...bright...?)"
Small one but I really like that line.

Before this series, Velvet Crowe from Tales of Berseria was my favorite female MC in any game/media. Estelle is firmly tied with her now

Fucking love when she jumps and kicks him in the head lmao
The next trails game gotta have Luke and Pat as main characters
Estelle is the best female protagonist of all time
Well, that was just beautiful as well as a nice official wrap-up to the end of SC
well Estelle and Joshua's journey in general.
37:43
protect that smile
thx for showing this !
Poor Joshua never stood a chance 🤣
that savage tio of liberl lol
If only i could play this on the psp😭
< < I already miss liberl and only on zero
wish Estelle was my sister...
roll tide
I see, that why Perzel's twin like Joshua
I've not played the Sky series fully. Any reason Tio's hair went from Blue to black? XD

@@Sintakhra wait, there are the same characters? Haven't played zero but I know there's a Tio there, dunno if they are the same

@@Sintakhra ah yes, it is a 5-6 year difference so she probably died her hair :P looks like dark blue
Still can't see why Estelle is likable
oof
OOF
