Will Flik get over Odessa?

[Mikain Clan King]

means both sword and girl

He could always dual wield...

LOL! i like the dual meaning of that!

[Mio]

meh... Flik failed to fulfill the meaning of his sword

he should definitely get a new one and start over

means both sword and girl

Could you explain how he failed the meaning of his sword?

And i was under the impression that the Warriors Village warriors would only HAVE one sword, hence the necessity to name it.

well i assumed that the code of the warrior's village was that a sword is meant for protection

recall how Hix got accepted by Zorak as a warrior

Hix wanted to protect someone with his sword despite his inhibtions

the inscription is the name of the maiden that the warrior vows to protect

Odessa getting slain is a disappointment to that vow, correct?

hence he failed his oath

that is, according to my assumption

i suggested that he gets a new sword so that he'll be able to move on

and won't be reminded of his past everytime he looks at his 'Odessa++'

little 'Flik++' could be getting limp, i mean lonely ya know *wink wink*

i dont think that the name of the sword is always a woman. As i recall the way it was put forward in Suikoden 1 with the few random characters that talk about swords and their names, it seemed more like everyone's sword was named, but only a few named them after their loves. Like the one lady who says something like "He acts tough, but i know its my name on his sword" Obviously the man could have named the sword ANYTHING but he CHOSE to name it after his love. In Flik i would think its much the same thing, and i think that whether he finds a new woman or not, he will always love Odessa, and he may see it as disgraceful to her memory to be rid of the sword he named after her (my only basis for this is his hopeless romantic status).

Just like with any broken heart, it takes awhile to get over it.
If you really loved someone & you planned to be with that person, it can take years for the pain to heal.
Sometimes it takes years. You never forget it.

So yea he may get over it, it will just take years by Fliks actions.
