‘The Hidden Fortress’ (1958). Directed by Akira Kurosawa.
Sweet Mishima… I love this boy
Same. One of the few things that disappointed me about
the game is it often felt like the dialogue options for him
were … a little lacking.
And I don’t mean in the same general way they were lacking
for *all* the men because you couldn’t romance them.
Though, of course, I romanced most of them in my heart.
I mean lacking in that, all too often, none of the options
felt very nice to Mishima. Sometimes, it felt like I had to choose
between being condescending or patronizing or mocking.
Let me be kind to him, damn it! He deserves genuine praise,
gentle encouragement, and peck on the cheek!
Maybe he wouldn’t have had his power trip in the first place
if the guy he admired and wanted to help had had more options
than to act like he was too cool for him.
