It's actually good practice to have conflict between your characters. It gives good grounding for future stories you may want to try out for publication. But since this is fandom, it's very much appreciated when an author takes that extra mile to earn that happy ending.
Although, yea, it's not always a sappy/all smiles happy kind of ending. (I kind of lean towards those bittersweet endings. But love happy endings) I need to see conflict, suffering, emotions, not just cookie cut outs, to inflict that kind of roller-coaster that the character is going through. It may not always be a wild ride, but it's fun, it's a journey and it's worth it in the end.
So you pretty much have a very good grasp of what's going to happen with Noah/Pen. I can't wait! =)
And yes, Basch is such a masochist. XD I love him to death. I need to write more on him, soon. But with Ashe of course. (gotta finish that in-game Omega hunt and other hunts I plan with those two) With all this discussion on Noah/Pen, I'll write out the rest of the themes up until the end of the game-verse. (since it's more or less based game-canon, and not AU)
I'm glad to have this intelligent and lengthy discussion with you. Oh, before I forget - you mentioned the Revenant Wings game last time. And there were Basch/Ashe moments. Forgive me for a moment, but: -squeals-! Ok, now that's over with, can you fill me in on what's between those two in the game? I know SE is stingy on the romance in FFXII, yet, heard that FFXII:RE had more.
As for Pen's parents and the heavy conflict that she feels, I think it's another good set up. It may sound coincidental; however, I've found even in real life situations that things are always coincidental around us - we may not notice it, like be aware, but it's not too far of a stretch.
