Samantha Weltzin Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Repost, since it's applicable.Krystal has no -set- personality, and that's where her fault lies. I like to call her schizophrenic because she has such a vast range of extreme emotions that she just doesn't seem like a real person.For instance, she is introduced as "kind," which is backed up by her going out of her way to investigate the problems on Dinosaur Planet as well as a few things she says about the emotions she feels during the Aparoid invasion. However, this description of her is blatantly contradicted at the end of Adventures when she grabs that staff out of Fox's pack and says, "Give me that!" without a word of thanks and only seems to be grateful as an afterthought once Andross is defeated, almost like she thought that maybe she had nearly missed an opportunity to "get some" (my interpretation of the "thank you" scene; not by any means official).In Assault, it seemed like her number-one priority was getting in Fox's pants as well, given the enormous amount of (unreturned) flirting she did in the face of a galaxy-wide disaster.I know so many people consider Command entirely non-canon, but I still consider the parts that were consistent to at least be canon character development, and one thing with Krystal that was consistent was that she had a hard time forgiving Fox, even in the endings where the two got back together. I don't -blame- her, per se, but again love didn't seem to be her primary motivator as she seemed to be weighing the benefits and drawbacks of the situation rather than forgiving the guy who saved her life a few years back.So I think the problem here is not that Krystal doesn't -have- a personality. She's not a blank slate. She's a slate that's had graffiti spray-painted all over it so as to completely obscure any actual artwork that may have been put on there.Katt, at least, has an established personality that remains more or less consistent, which is actually a bit more than even some of the main characters of the series can say. Yes, she's a stock character to a large degree, which results in predictability, but at least she's somewhat believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DRL Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I have already said what I think, too.Basically:° Both girls have good looks.° Krystal makes more in-game appearances, but Katt appears in the comic, which gives her some considerable development.° We know nothing about Krystal past's, exept what everyone knows. (He planet was destroyed, she is the sole survivor).° The comic gives some development to all of the pre-SFad characters; SPECIALLY Katt & Falco....So, to sum it up. Krystal appears in more games, and has more fans. BUT, Katt has more development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FoXXX Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Arguing over post counts <3Anyway, I think Krystal is more developed, mainly because she is a bigger figure in the games, however, there are a lot of things we don't know about her. Katt on the other hand, has only been in a few levels, and it seems she's only here because she's got a thing for Falco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krystal Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Katt is always a secondary character and has only been in two games. Krystal is secondary in Adventures, semi-main in Assault, and arguably the second most important character in Command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thu'um Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 also katt is a charater that does not need devoleped. krystal has so much more to devolep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DRL Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Katt is always a secondary character and has only been in two games. Krystal is secondary in Adventures, semi-main in Assault, and arguably the second most important character in Command.As the canon of Command is questionable,I would not recommend counting it.Additionally, Command does not develop thecharacters - it reworked them in an awfulwrong way.Katt, for example, is no longer pink.Krystal is no longer 'kind' - all the opposite,she can even be manipulative in that game.also katt is a charater that does not need devoleped. krystal has so much more to devolep If we go into account, ALL characters need development.I am not going to deny the fact that KrystalIS a more important character in terms of canon, you are right,but sadly she has not been developed much.If she were to be developed, yeah, her character wouldcertainly be improved. But sadly, we have yet to waitfor that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thu'um Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 no , you misunder stand . if katt and krystal were both fully devoleped krystal would have more too her. she is more emotionaly deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to faceit, Krystal is not very developed. I likeher and it is allright, but I can not callher character 'depth' - because sadly,it is not.As of time of writting, Katt is more developed.I am not saying that Katt is more 'important'than Krystal - but who is 'more developed'?Again, of time of writting, Katt.

Fox is one of THE LEAST developed and consistant characters, and he's the MAIN character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thu'um Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 frequancy of apering does have somthing to do with it. if a character didn't apear at all how could be devoleped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 frequancy of apering does have somthing to do with it. if a character didn't apear at all how could be devolepedIt happens quite well, actually. Most of the development is from the accounts of other characters, how Janos Audron was developed mostly in the Legacy of Kain series for a long time. Janos Audron wasn't seen until Blood Omen 2, the third game made in the series, and was only seen for a few moments. Before he was seen, however, the followers of the series already knew that he was one of the original vampires, and created Vorador, the first vampire to of been born mortal, and had Vorador create the Soul Reaver blade. And we also knew that Janos's heart, the heart of darkness as it was called, was ripped from his still living body, which is how he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thu'um Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 this frequancy also counts in speech but their is no dening that frequaincy of appring has an affect on devolepment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Monroe Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 this frequancy also counts in speech but their is no dening that frequaincy of appring has an affect on devolepmentYes, there is a correlation of appearances to development, but it is not an absolute. Like I said, Fox is the MAIN character and he is one of the lesser developed/consistant characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 this frequancy also counts in speech but their is no dening that frequaincy of appring has an affect on devolepmentIt depends on the character and story creators. Albert Wesker from Resident Evil appears often enough, yet his personality goes off the charts in some games. From being calm, controlled, manipulative, and analytical in the earlier games, he goes to an arrogant, egotistical mass of complexes in RE5, completely against previous character traits.
