![]() Once the plot stops trying to make her a real participant in it her creepy behavior fades away, and for a bit there she basically doesn't have a personality at all, only really gaining one once she's got a girl to tsundere at, but it's pretty hard to shake this strong and consistent first impression. And not like a creepy obsessive lover psychopath who murders her rivals or something at least tangentially related to a tsundere, but just plain a cold-blooded killer with the only excuse offered being an attempt at a sympathetic backstory boiling down to 'the bad guys killed my family, so now I'm fine being a monster to literally everyone in the universe'. The player character? Yeah, no, she's a psychopath for him. Nonetheless, this trait is not even slightly in evidence within the story until the last Ryder pilot joins your team and she starts pulling tsundere stuff at them. Icari's combat/voiced dialogue makes it pretty obvious what the creators were thinking with her: Icari is a tsundere, hating and loving you in the same breath. Icari herself is yet another example of the game not knowing what it wants to be or do. It's bad enough that I'm trying to play a cool tactics game and don't really like it when the game suddenly intrudes with Sexualized Naked Girls, but Icari is unavoidable anytime I'm playing said cool tactics part of the game and seriously it looks like her breasts are just out. I'm not exactly a fan of the design of these things in general, but Icari's in particular has large portions in a color that's so close to her skin tone color that her form-fitting suit ends up looking more like a barely-there stripper outfit. I also hate Icari's not-a- plugsuit design. They really made her last name 'Isidolde', when 'Isolde' is a real name that doesn't look and sound like an abomination.
