So, as much as I admit to not understanding, I managed to stumble upon two routes. Some how I ended up with Chinami and Ernest without even doing much. They must be the easiest to get and I'm starting to think that Ryouma is one of the harder ones. Oh dear.
Anyway, I was wanting to go through Ernest's anyway because I wanted to hear more of his english and oh boy... I understand why every one was complaining about his voice actor. While his pronunciation was excellent except for his Vs, He says everything in the same snakey snark voice as "If you WILL" and whatnot. Some of the lines like "cross my heart" "Checkmate" and "please don't make me beg" were absolutely brilliant, but the longer ones... well, I think they were going for sexy but it just ended up... lispy sass? I'm very forgiving in this area thought because of how deep his voice is. I swear I've never heard anyone that sounded so high and low pitched at the same time like that. It's like there's two levels to his voice. What's weird is that it goes higher when he speaks english. It's like there's two people talking.
As for his story line, I didn't trust this smarmy jackanapes the moment I saw him. Those eyebrows, that combed back hair, and ENGLISH, gah, no good can come from that. As the story line went along I feel into his gentlemanly traps. Oh! he's serving me tea, it feels just like home! I can use english on him at some points, I can even make him blush really hard. gah, I love the blushing. But then some things happen which I don't really understand. Some orders from england or something and he pulls his gun on you.
As for his ending, I really didn't feel the chemistry. He's sort of a really watered down womanizer that can speak english once and a while but other than that he's pretty bland but it is interesting seeing the conflict between being loyal to your country and being loyal to complete strangers that say you now have magical powers to protect some dragon god and their priestess. I can see why he'd be conflicted. Some of the interactions between him and Chinami were great. I'm pretty sure that Chinami understands a bit of english but still tells Ernest that he's in Japan and needs to use JAPANESE. Also the confusion of the other characters whenever he says something in english or mentions an english thing mid conversation is always fun. You'd get a lot more out of this character if your were fluent in both english and japanese. I wish they had more english interactions with him. Maybe even a full conversation where you had to prove you understood what he was saying but that's asking a little much. Over all I really enjoyed his rout because of how much I understood of this character and seeing a soft blushy side to this otherwise collected and serious character. As a romantic interest though he's pretty low on the list. I'm having loads of fun though. Gosh I love this game.
