This is non-spoilery, I'm sure. It's just about a game mechanic.

But.

I'm not sure if that was intentional (and if we remember that this is the gaming industry), but...

Did the developers KNOW what the player ~might~ think when the growing of friendship is depicted by cutesy pink hearts flowing around?

And did they know just WHAT they are suggesting when the smiley signifying the highest ~friendship level~ is a thumping pink heart with eyes that turn into hearts?

I just. I lol'ed so much when I saw that smiley. Oh, yes~~~ Shulk and Reyn are such ~close~ ~~friends~~ So many hearts~

Icon so freaking fitting it hurts.
