About Video Game Sophistry:
Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.

VGS - Video Game Sophistry

Aloy's facial animations are so impeccably detailed. You can see almost everything she's thinking with just her face

[johnb.d]

I honestly didn't expect this- but i'm not too opposed to it either, i always wondered if Aloy would ever allow herself to be romantically involved with anyone considering how stoic she is.
She always gave me the vibe of someone who's too focused on her missions to ever think about settling down and live a simpler life.

[TheNorthie]

What I like about this romance, even if it doesn’t pan it out, it gives Aloy something more personal to fight for. Have a relationship and share it with someone she truly cares about. Thinking big picture is alright, but when the times get rough it’s nice to think of someone you are fighting for

[caelen]

The thing I see is that both of these women see the same thing in each other as they see in themselves. Which is why you work so well together. Both carry heavy burdens that they don’t want others to have. They both feel like they don’t fit in with their people. I think what sold it to Aloy was when Seyka admitted she doesn’t want to go home because she doesn’t fit in. There more underlying things but off the top of my head that’s what I can think of.

[ArkadiBolschek]

I don't mind the spoilers because I'm not going to play the game. But I'm a bit spooked at how freakishly realistic CGI has become: the movements, the facial expressions are so lifelike, you have to remind yourself these aren't real people. Kudos to the animators, I hope they're proud of their work.

[AxioMunk]

Aloy is such a chad. Kills the leader of her gf’s tribe, is heralded as a god for that same tribe, kisses the pretty girl of the tribe, leaves.

[tiagopatricio]

People miss the point of Aloy's journey in Forbidden West. Thanks to Varl 's insistince in coming with her and never giving up she grew more comfortable around people. This isn't out of nowhere and its not forced. If you play the dlc you'll see how much chemistry she and Seyka have throughout and Aloy's inner monologue shows how strong her feelings are growing for Seyka. And just because the world is still in danger doesn't mean its out of character for her to have one quick kiss before leaving. The dialog in this very scene shows she's still has her priorities in order. She just has even more reasons to fight for than just because its what Elizabet Sobeck would have wanted.

If this happened at the end of Zero Dawn I could see people's point but we had a whole game of Aloy growing into being more open and receptive to other people.

[jakeythecrow]

This leaves only Kratos and Thor to form a romantic relationship now

[kathyisopod]

It's shame to see end spoilers so early after release of DLC (it released like yesterday?), but nonetheless I am happy for Aloy. She did lots of character development in HFW (after all those loner years) towards learning how to trust others and what family means for her. Makes complete sense for her character to start looking into other kinds of relationships as well.

[msnoodles]

You have to consider that people in survival mode like them truly live day to day, notwithstanding the idea of the world ending soon. It brings true feelings to the forefront.

I'm not totally sold on their longevity but I'm happy that Aloy has reached a place where she can open herself up to relationships like this. I was hoping it would be Talanah but she does have more in common with Seyka.

Also, as a queer woman, I saw her sexuality from a mile away. And it's amazing to already love this game and relate to a video game character even more.

[namedmangreg]

Like the idea of romance being added not personally sold on Seyka though. Always liked Petra, Ikrie or Erend.

[brandonhession]

I wouldnt’t see anyother way with the romance option as much as feel aloy and someone along the lines of say like a talanah i feel much more for aloy and seyka so glad they finally put an end to no romance hope they continue on from this if theres more for the horizon series moving forward

[MrReddragongamingHD]

How did people not expect this? There were SO many hints during the DLC. Even prior to it, Aloy has never shown any interest in males or reciprocated any male interest in her.

[tarouyamada]

*_Do more than just survive. Flourish. - The Enduring_*

Probably only second to the cute "Miss me?" Aloys says when you return to your flying mount (before jumping, gliding down and leaving Seyka freaking out up there 😅)

[josuetorres]

I saw this coming from miles away and It was still unexpecting. I love Aloy and seeing her being vulnerable with someone other then a friend was refreshing. It didn’t come out nowhere, nor was it forced it was simply two warriors discovering love for the very first time. I wonder what’s gonna happen next, considering everyone is ready for Nemesis. I love this franchise and I love how they basically changed everything for Aloy but in a fun, creative and new way.

[ellencah]

I loved it. After everything Aloy has been true from the begining she deserved to be whit someone that understand her like Seyka did.
Aloy deserve to be happy and to find love. Hope we see more to that inn the 3rd game. It's great that there is 3 choice to pick, but I wil always pick the love choice

[almilac]

True, the romance was a little too fast, but I think the two have chemistry and have a lot in common. Both are brave and selfless.

[Jhanneditor]

Well I was not expecting that Aloy would have a romance but that's very good, I didn't see that in a long time. That's what we want, a good writing about two characters evolving together, beautiful scenes who are not so silly. That's not like the romances option in Ac Odyssey that gives nothing to the story and after we don't even care about the characters

[heymomm]

Sony, try not to make every character gay challenge: Impossible

[crypt_yt]

I really hope she gets to meet up with seyka in the next game and they can even fight alongside each other but I doubt they’ll do that. This dlc tho was incredible 😊
