Well actually, even in the main 'verse, The Sherriff (that's what I'm gonna call him, since constantly referring to him as my character is tedious, and referring to him by name makes it sound like I'm talking in the third person) already has some monster friends (or at least, he will). And I'm not just talking about monsters like Sister Lamia who people don't know are monsters. These are, bona fide monsters he hangs out with. He just doesn't get cozy with them. Remember, he believes in Ilias, not what she stands for, which he believes is the worst in her. He longs for the kind, supportive goddess who's always got his back, not the vengeful, judgment-dealing monster hater that most people see her as.

Honestly though, this meeting of OTPs across 'verses could be strong enough to stand on its own, rather than its own blooper. We just need to see how it's developed in Paradox first. Though I like to think there is an option to choose Ilias for good, and not have it count as a bad ending like choosing a Heavenly Knight, or the harpies, or anyone else, as you're talking to everyone after you've beaten the game at the end of MGQ3. I really hated that set-up. Really, I did. When it was over, I just wanted to punch Tamamo right in the face. Seriously Tammy, what was the point of that "trial"?!
