Will Flik get over Odessa?

[Masamune.]

One thing I admire about Flik is that he's a hopeless romantic, and won't move on from his love for Odessa. But do you think he will ultimately? Or will he carry on as a lone wolf with Nina badgering him?

[abs]

I dont think so...He said so himself....Its not that he cant forget odessa its just that he does not want to.

[Oppenheimer]

The only reason he'd get over it is if he met someone equally amazing. Then of course, he'd have to get a new sword.

I agree, its like with anyone trying to get over a love, you would have to find someone equal to or greater than the last love, I think flik secretley enjoys ninas company, i mean, at least he is getting some sort of affection from someone else, its almost a way for him to (not forget about odessa) but temporaraly distract him from thinking about it.

I dont think he would neccesarily have to get a new sword. The name would probably remain as a tribute to his first love, and i severely doubt that Flik would fall for a girl who wouldnt be able to accept that.

I think its quite likely that Flik will find someone new, or would find someone new, since i doubt we'll have another game that revolves around him. Just because someone says "I'll never love again" doesnt make it true, i mean how often have you heard a girl say "I'm done with men!" and then not become a lesbian? Its along the same lines. When caught in a web of emotions, people say things that are not neccesarily true. I dont see Flik as anything other then a real man, and therefore he is likely to say something along those lines (especially given his "Hopeless Romantic" branding). Will it be Nina? Maybe if she ever grows up and becomes a real woman. But in answer to the question, yes, i do think that Flik will eventually get over Odessa's untimely and heroic death and move on.

He could find someone equally amazing in his eyes, but the sword thing is probably to much for him.

Yeah, but in the example you used that's like when a man has cheated on the woman or messed her around, which is why she blurts out with something like that.

This is entirely different.

Odessa was a woman Flik profoundly loved and respected, she was his everything. Five years on from then, he's still grieving and won't even entertain the idea of meeting someone else. Flik's like any other hot-blooded male and will have his needs, but I think that love for Odessa could always come between his potential relationships.

[JanusThePaladin]

I disagree. He was still caught in a tangle of emotion and pain, true. But to believe that he would never strive to remove himself from that seems folly to me.

[Masamune.]

Why not? He wouldn't be the first man to never love again.

^ In reality men do tend to fall easily...

[Pollensalta]

This happens often. It takes awhile after the loss of a love to be able to love again... but statistically, it happens more often than not (except with elderly people.)

Realistically, given his young age, he would probably eventually find someone else. I know it's more touching to think that she would be his only love forever... but if he lives to be an old man, that's a long time to be lonely.

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

[TrueWater00]

I agree, i mean if he finds a new love, it would be wuite pointless to hold on to odessa++ when hes with someone else, it just wouldnt feel right, if he ever does find the right girl i would hope that he would like mount his odessa sword and start a new with a good girl for him, flik doesnt deserve to be lonely

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.

Why? The first love is very often the most important one. So Odessa could still be his most important, eh, thing.
