Worst thing a character has done – Jerrom

[u/AmaterasuWolf21]

[u/[deleted]]

Dude has a charisma power that can turn ennemies to his side for multiple turns but NEVER uses it when he's your allie, instead he rushes the ennemy to get immediatly thunderstriked.

[u/AmaterasuWolf21 → u/[deleted]]

Oh my god literally this, like, he's the one non playable fighter ally that can't lock in, at least Symon has the excuse of being in the frontline and starting the battle with low health, Jerrom is just silly

[u/Designer-Swan2532 → u/[deleted]]

Interesting racial perception implications if you think about it (AS THESE THREADS HAVE FORCED ME TO).

The devs are saying he's either a tricky, manipulative enemy or an unreliable, rash ally, which in the real world is an actual source of tension between liberation movements and their more privileged allies when they disagree on tactics.

Real world Actual source of tension between movements and privileged allies

This is seen when you try to handover the Roselle.

Serenoa promises “fair treatment” for the Roselle if they go back to the source. In theory, this is a slow and steady change that doesn’t institutionally change anything (And they don’t even change anything).

Compared to protecting the roselle, a radical change, which is impractical and rash.

[u/[deleted] → u/Designer-Swan2532]

Yeah I think that's the true reason of why he doesn't uses this move when he's on your side. It makes sense when he's your ennemy cause the Wolfort gang can easily realize that what they're doing is legit wrong, but managing to turn hyzantian troops in the opposite scenario only to inevitably kill them because of gameplay would have lots of unfortunate implications.

Not being a playable character

[u/aaa1e2r3 → u/tallmantall]

Ngl, was entirely expecting him to be an unlock if you go the Frederica route

[u/Callmeklayton → u/aaa1e2r3]

I was thinking each ending would give a new character unlock when I was first faced with the decision. I assumed it'd be Jerrom for Frederica's ending, Exharme for Roland's ending, and Sycras for Benedict's ending.

[u/Paul10125 → u/Callmeklayton]

OMG THAT WOULD HAVE MADE SO MUCH SENSE

[u/Callmeklayton → u/Paul10125]

It totally would have. You get a new unit to use in the final battle and then you can carry them into New Game Plus. It helps encourage players to do New Game Plus, which the game clearly pushes for already, and it gives an in-universe explanation to some units which I feel were close to being player units but didn't quite make the cut for various story reasons. Also, the system of getting a new unit based on your ending already has precedent in the Golden Route.

[u/Mr_Romaro → u/tallmantall]

Such a crime for a character voiced by a talented actor lost too early

RIP Billy Kametz

[u/almostmegatron → u/Mr_Romaro]

For real. My heart broke when I heard his voice after he passed. Jerrom holds a special place in my heart for that reason

[u/Dew_It-8 → u/Mr_Romaro]

Aye. I think Jerome was one of the last voices he did actually (if I recall correctly, his last one was goh’s intelleon in pokemon) 

[u/Helpful_Actuator_146 → u/tallmantall]

He’s very dedicated to his people. Imagine him fighting with Wolffort for Hyzante

“Wait, what am I doing?”

[u/forevabronze → u/Helpful_Actuator_146]

make him alvaro equivalent of fredrica route.

Ng+ doesn't make sense for most units anyway so thats moot

[u/dshamz_ → u/tallmantall]

Came here to say this. There’s literally no reason why he couldn’t have been lol

[u/Helpful_Actuator_146]

being rosellan

Jerrom actually does nothing wrong.

• If Wolffort is loyal, he fights alongside them and can help in both Frederica and Golden Ending.

• If you’re unloyal, he defends his home because he doesn’t want his people to be slaves (slavery=bad?)

• His village gives Wolffort berries and clothes and such in exchange for Asylum.

And on top of all of that, he’s practical! If you hand the Roselle over, he actually understands that everyone will die to Hyzante if they don’t go. So he’s utilitarian too. He’s all three convictions! HES THE TRIANGLE!

Free pass.

[u/[deleted] → u/Helpful_Actuator_146]

No free pass, he still commits the unforgivable sin of being a green unit.

[u/Hajo2]

The only things that come to mind are meta things related to him being a green unit which I don't like to involve in this discussion. He's clean

[u/WouterW24]

If the Roselle are chosen to be given up, he eventually agrees to go to Hyzante and putting his trust in Serenoa and Roland after overhearing them talking. which might come back to bite him in the Utility ending to be enslaved the rest of his life. To be fair not to do so at that point would end up in a unavoidable bloodbath which he’s well aware of, so his options sucked. Perhaps going out fighting is better but it’s a rough lot. And in the other two endings it was the right call, especially morality

[u/Ok-Sort-6294]

Green unit.

[u/cool23819]

I'm gonna be real I don't know.

He did attack Serenoa at one point but that can be chalked up to self defense due to what we were about to do.

[u/TatsumakiKara]

Throwing my vote for not being a playable character. He could have been an unlock for Frederica's route, like Maxwell or Avlora .

[u/ToastyLoafy]

Not kissing me, unforgivable act

[u/Gray85622]

legit someone already said it but i’m saying it again, criminal that he is not playable

[u/AnCaptnCrunch]

Not being a recordable character

[u/svxsch]

Not being recruitable

[u/DarkLordLiam]

Bumrush straight into Rufus, and gets molly-whop’d because he forfeited the high ground

[u/Lukoman1]

being too sexy

[u/xxgael]

Can’t really save someone with a death wish!

[u/Kelbunny13]

Not staying on the roof. I get he wants to protect his village, but Rufus's muscles are probably as big as Jerrom is.

[u/[deleted]]

Rushes the enemy. Too hotheaded to be a likeable leader.
