Anyone else actively hate this character?

She actively and knowing took part in genocide of a 1000's of years old peaceful culture, was actively racist throughout it as well yet never seems to face any sort of karmic resolution or redeems herself in anyway shape or form since every good thing she does later on is purely out of her own self interest, put is then treated by the game as a hero anyway, this would be like if a WW2 game suddenly decided an unapologetic Nazi who killed thousands was one of the heroes at the end.

I think some people might make the point of a similar comparison to Reno who also killed a bunch of people but even in that game he isn't treated like a heroic figure later on like Beatrix is.

You're pretty much spot on here. JRPGs have a lot of """sympathetic""" characters.

Kingdom had a huge rat problem so they called in the exterminator. I'm not seeing the problem here.
>>
>>377003905
Muh loyalty.
Her troops killed maybe 5% of the casualties and she clearly resented the queen for resorting to eidolon warfare instead of good ol' occupation.

Not to mention she's in a good position since she saved the new queen and is her biggest support in Alexandria, asking for her head or imprisonment would weaken Daguer and Cid knows that.

So yeah, it's unfair but not suprising

Yep.

Well. She is a knight. And her queen gave orders. She tries to go against them and brings the issue multiple times, eventually being ready to DIE 4 U, which Freya stops.
Honestly she and the actual alexandrian soldiers barely even do much/kill anyone. It's mostly the black mages and the elephant.
And when she does see the outcome of it she is terrified, as she didn't assume they'd wipe them out.

I think you probably just don't remember the pace of the events. Happens.

Doesn't that make it even worse?

Insulting someone, even of other races, isn't necessarily racist.

When did she commit genocide?
Most of Cleyra was evacuated, and Beatrix didn't summon Odin.
Burmecia was evacuated.

Which is why she ends up betraying the Queen, she's basically a female version of Cecil.

If you hand someone the gun to shoot a tied up prisoner are you in no way at fault?
>>
>>377006856
That analogy because the gun was stolen came from Garnet, which Beatrice didn't know about. Beatrice stealing the crystal wasn't what allowed Odin to be summoned.

Beatrice had nothing to do with Odin being summoned.

Didn't you ever try looking at Garnet's initial eidolons at the beginning of the game, before they're extracted?

Cecil's commits two great wrongs, as far as I'm aware, the attack on Mysidia, and the burning of Mist. He really didn't know what was happening in Mist, but Mysidia is definitely a horrible crime. So I can see how you'd think Beatrix and Cecil are similar.
The difference is that Cecil goes back to Mysidia and asks for forgiveness. He goes directly to the people he wronged and asks them how he can atone. They give him a task that they literally think is impossible -- atoning on Mount Ordeals. Once he does it, the people of Mysidia forgive him.
The difference to me is that Cecil seeks forgiveness from those he wrongs and atones according to their tradition. Beatrix does better, but she never seeks forgiveness as far as I remember.
It seems to me like the player is the one who forgives Beatrix, which isn't as strong or meaningful as Cecil being forgiven by the Mysidians.
>>
>>377007037
But when she cuts them women and children down with a sword and a black mage army she orders to get that crystal that doesn't matter right?
>>
>>377007347
The Elephant wanted that crystal because it's one of crystals that are needed to summon Alexander, did you even fucking pay attention?

Odin came from Garnet not from Cleyra's jewel.
>>
>>377007589
You didn't actually respond to anything in my post you worthless faggot
>>
>>377007257
Beatrice does the same thing, except with Beatrice it's Burmencia. When she was in Cleyra she only stole the crystal. As for forgiveness wasn't Beatrice forgiven by Freya, who if anything understood because she was also a soldier?
>>
>>377007969
Freya is a worthless race traitor, the right thing to do would be murder Beatrix when they were alone together
>>
>>377008048
Could of added some conflict for the player, you could decide if you sided with Beatrix or Freya after.
>>
>>377004131
Selvaria is only liked by the fandom though, the game's setting never hails her as anything, she got at most some sympathy from some 3 people who thought she was used and discarted, thinking she could have leaded a different life.
>>
>>377007758
I did dumbass, the crystal that matters because of what it is, and besides that wasn't it the Black Mage's that attacked the Cleyran.

Also that family in Cleyra survived, you can find them in Lindblum in disc 2.
>>
>>377007347
It was the black mage army that attacked the family.

Beatrice only shows up in the church on the hill when she steals the crystal, and besides that she was acting on orders.

They are Burmecian, that's like calling a black person a monkey because they are descended from them.
They maybe designed as anthropomorphic rats but calling them rats is racist.

Justice for Burmecia
>>
>>377009967
Burmecians were a bunch of antagonistic warmongers who deserved to get wiped out. The Cleyra settlement was founded by pacifist defectors who didn't want to deal with the inevitable fallout. When Burmecia finally does get its ass kicked, Cleyra lets in their refugees to make a point, and as a reward they get fucking Nagasaki'd.

Burmecia was a mistake.
>>
>>377009713
Because of history, calling black people monkeys was something that was used as an racial insult. It's for the same reason why a white person calling a black person a negro will end in said white person getting his ass beat.

It doesn't help that that shit is still used as an insult.

But that's just like real life, Anon, Andrew Jackson genocides a bunch of native Americans even against supreme Court ruling and he was a hero in his day.

Beatrix absolutely participated in committing atrocities, but not any more than your average soldier who goes off to war and shells a bunch of "terrorists" or executed some possible "spies". Furthermore, Beatrix's loyalty was needed for Dagger to successfully complete her coup.

I've heard a few times that after Alexandria falls, Beatrix begins contemplating suicide.

I looked for this the last time I played the game and didn't see it. I imagine its supposed to be that scene where she's wandering around town aimlessly as Zidane is looking for Dagger, but unless something was removed from translation I think its a bit of a jump to assume that was her contemplating suicide.

Does anyone have more solid proof of this?
