I'll requote this in whatever ending thread we have and either claim my triumph or admit to my shameful wrong prediction.

Also dunno why you wanted him dead. He seemed like a nice enough lad, inoffensive and sweet enough.
Oh, I'm definitely with you on your thinking. The very name Phoenix has too many obvious implications to think anything otherwise.

I didn't really care if he died or not, I suppose, but I didn't want him around anymore. I didn't care for his voice actor and I didn't care for his personality. I very rarely like having children as prominent characters in video games which aren't focused on everyone being children. I don't like child prodigies either. I also don't like the super-innocent kind of vibe that a lot of anime fall into (hi, Clannad, I still can't watch you), where they're constantly apologising and being overly nice and overly timid all the time. It just agitates me. I mean, IRL I'm okay with it because I've known and cared about a lot of people who were or even are like that. But in a story it's just something I rarely enjoy. I'm more inclined to like children in stories if they are playful and happy, like in Ghibli films or whatever.

Maybe I just don't want to feel like I'm babysitting in my action games xD
