Recently, the black box has launched a phase of the old man's ring wife selection activity, who will everyone choose?
This article will take you to rationally analyze the reasons for the current collapse of Melina's entire line.
The opening meets
Melina
Melina appeared earlier than Lanny, and Melina in the first defeat CG was already riding on a horse to meet the player, and the subtitle expression of the Chinese at this time was also quite gentle:
Don't worry, Torett, and save Oh~
At this time, I first most of the players' mood is the same as mine, this game actually has a sister of the Heavenly Descent Department?
And the appearance after taking off the hood when sitting on the fire for the first time also makes the player's eyes shine again.
Radni
In contrast, The appearance of Lanny is very cold.
Half sitting on the ruins, it is a very classic mission NPC sitting posture, waiting for the player to talk to her.
Such a perfect start! Cheers for Melina!
Mid-term plot
Melina
However, in the middle of the game, Melina's presence is greatly reduced, what did Melina do in the middle of the game?
Sit on the fire and chant, gone.
Looking back at the WormHeart battle of StarCraft 2 in the past two days, I found that the positioning of Melina was very similar to Isa:
She taught Kerrigan skills and recalled fighting skills, but like a stone, without any emotion.
Zagara and Dehaka have ambitions, and Sdukov wants revenge, but Isa answers whatever she asks her.
Melina is the same, like a machine.
Radni
And the Rani?
In the process of handing over the task and interacting with the players wildly, you and I say a word, which directly leads to the character image of Lanny, who was originally a supporting role, to immediately become plump.
In addition, you can also pick up a Rani doll in the middle and late stages:
Well, don't look for Melina when you sit on the fire, you can chat with Lanny directly.
In the middle of the game, Melina gradually becomes invisible.
Later ending
Melina
What did Melina do? Burn trees.
This was originally a very tragic scene, a very emotional plot that could touch the player's emotions.
However, it is because Melina was arranged to be invisible in the middle of the period, resulting in this tree burning plot that originally resonated with players, although the player was touched, but obviously not deep enough.
It's not that we don't like tragedy, we just don't like tragedy that isn't paved.
But if Fando arranges a little mid-term interaction with Melina, I believe this tragic ending will go straight to the emotional upswing.
Radni
On the other hand, the lakni ending, directly married in situ.
I believe that many players like HE, otherwise the old man ring would not have had to arrange for the epilepsy to save Melina, and then arrange for the golden needle to prick himself to give up the plot of the epilepsy.
The question is, choose to be ruthlessly burned to death, or choose to marry a strange princess?
I'm sure you already have the answer.
So in terms of plot, Lanny has crushed Melina's plot arrangement, but what about other aspects?
Shape design
Melina
Melina's design has no highlights except for the closed left eye, which is a very ordinary European medieval girl image.
The point is that even this only "closed eye" highlight is not given a clear and reasonable explanation in the game.
Why did Melina close her eyes?
What is the totem on the eye?
Why are the eyes open again at the end of death?
Radni
Let's look at the image of Rani.
The puppet shape is very curious when you meet it, and you want people to know about the four hands + blue skin that you want to explore.
Then we learn that The essence of TheRanny has been burned, which makes people more curious about what the body looks like.
This image is clearly superior to Melina in terms of freshness.
Linguistically
Finally, it has to be said that another reason for Melina's poor popularity is "attributed" to the line writing and Sinicization group.
Originally, Melina's positioning was guided by a part of the novice guide, so the lines were flat and normal.
And she also had to recite a lot of Marika Proverbs, and the Chinese group got a pure text without a plot this time.
The lines that directly lead to Melina are like boiling water.
Look at the text of Lanny's lines.
A large number of Old English words appear to highlight the nobility of identity, and there is also a lot of interaction with the player in the text.
After getting the petite la ni in the middle of the period, "intensifying" did not hide it and directly began to speak proudly.
epilogue
So Lanny's design is almost all-round crushing Ofina, so it's not surprising that players are one-sided.
The three-dimensionality of the plot, the image, and the text is better than Melina's.
