#the variety of art here from various time periods is kinda funny #a lot of this comes from au-adjacent thought where i just force william into the main game cause #he and evan would've been friends #ni no kuni #nnk #ni no kuni revenant kingdom #nnk revenant kingdom #revenant kingdom #william crane #william nnk #nnk william #roland crane #evan nnk #sf37.art

william on the brain so i present to you: The William Crane Post

first off, the fact that he pays such a key role in the story yet gets 0 screen time is fascinating to me. hell, I remember the old days of him not even having a name. anyway it’s interesting because he is Roland’s reason for a lot of things! If Roland wasn’t A Dad(tm) I doubt he would have been so attached to Evan, and nnk2 would look incredibly different without the dead son-dead dad dynamic Roland and Evan have going on. this is sort of a side note but Evan gets to resolve his dead dad issues in game while Roland and William get dlc a year later I. think that them working over their issues should have been in the main game they deserved that much. okay tangent over I digress.

part two, William is cool because his issues are realistic! nnk is full of epic fantasy backstories which are awesome to read about but highly unrelatable. I mean, I sincerely doubt that any of us are Kings removed from our thrones by someone we trusted. but my boy Will, on the other hand - he struggles with an illness that keeps him from living a normal life. on top of that, his dad is distant and often busy with work, leaving him lonely. I am willing to bet a whole lot of money that most people can relate to him a lot more. anyway it’s actually incredibly important for media to have this. so Will should have had a bigger role in game actually. He is also extremely ominous and all round the funniest character and I did not cry at his memory lane absolutely not zero tears were shed. ahem.

three! this is just my funny little theory actually. William and Ferdinand are soulmates and I WILL die on this hill. they are quite similar as we see in cannon, and they play the same role - son of the leader who united the world, who struggles with Issues from that. the theory part is that I think William being bedridden is linked to Ferdinand in a Timeless Tome - while Ferdinand is trapped in his dreams, his soulmate is trapped in the hospital. it explains why no matter how much they try Will’s illness hasn’t been treated yet. also. I think it would be neat and nnk2 needed more than one soulmate pair.

not an analysis or theory but all I want in life is a nnk game where Will is the protagonist and Ferdinand’s also there. I think they deserve it. Show us what happens before Ferdinand's crowing, cowards.
