This Is a Reddas Appreciation Post

[rynling]

Reddas has a fantastic redemption arc, and if you disagree you are wrong.

Reddas is also Peak Fashion, and if you disagree we can't be friends.

I just really love him a whole lot okay.

You have excellent taste, and his unique fashion sense is clearly an omission in that famous "Bausch: a Fashion Disaster" essay.
You know, I've seen almost no fanfic with Reddas, which is surprising, because obviously a lot of his story is implied rather than shown in the game… Which is usually a ripe opportunity for storytelling. He has such a wonderful voice and he is quite a rogue. Did he know young Judge Bunansa? Was he always this flamboyant? How did he become so ensconced in Balfoheim, since it's only been two or three years since the disaster at Nabudis? What did Cid and/or Vayne tell him about his mission there?

Sorry, I'm babbling. I just love his voice and his mannerisms, which are partly due to the excellent English localization.

But yeah, Reddas rocks, Even if he gets stuck in the unenviable position of "secondary character who self sacrifices is to prevent a main character from doing so." Funny how often that happens.

Sheffiesharpe had done rather a lot with Reddas, if I recall.

Otherwise, yes, to this entire comment.

I just read through this writer's backlog of FFXII fic last night, and it was wonderful. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

I'm glad to be of service! She writes such good things. even though her pairings of choice are not mine, I don't even care; I just want to swan-dive into everything and roll in it, and to me, that's the mark of a brilliant writer.
