When Velderoth was revealed as the plantain I'd expected him to be, I intentionally started reading Kaiser's dialogue in a more cynical tone and it made everything seem a lot more serious. Kaiser went from being a headstrong blood knight who reveled in stomping his enemies to being a tragic warrior who was just trying to distract himself from his worries by killing anything around him.
Really, he awoke to find out that he had an enormous responsibility and was offered no training despite the fact that he doesn't want to be a leader. Velderoth, Kaiser's best friend, immediately began acting to try and undermine the burden placed on his shoulders, and got pissed off when he lost for the first time. Tear, Kaiser's possible love interest, became distant and wouldn't talk at all to him, and then vanished shortly after Magnus's first appearance. How the hell was Kaiser supposed to interpret that? For all he knew, she could have been abandoning him for the same reasons as Velderoth. Shortly after he was sent into an unknown world, alone and uninformed, and eventually finds out that if he wants to get help fighting Magnus he'll have to double the burden he already has by agreeing to fight against the Black Mage. Then comes his arrival back home, where he learns that his best friend has defected to the enemy over his jealousy of the fact that Kaiser's obtained power that he'd never asked for. What's worse is that Kaiser can't even try to dissuade Velderoth from his path, and is forced to murder him!
Seriously, it's no wonder Kaiser's armor is stained black in Fourth Job.
As for Angelic Buster She has funny quest dialogue, but I'm not sure I particularly like her story all that much.
My ranking for story would be 1. Luminous, 2. Kaiser, and then 3. Buster.
I really need to play GMS Kaiser.
Kaiser: shit just got real.
