@WiiWareWave If she had fought in combat, her enemies would have used it against her; but even the transcript doesn't insist that she allegedly fought. More to the point: if both her own descriptions and the descriptions by numerous eyewitnesses describe the same thing, then that's adequate proof that she didn't fight. I would add that aristocratic women in that era sometimes filled in for their husbands, often by order of the husband, or pressed their own hereditary claims and led their own factions - e.g. Jeanne de Montfort, Margaret of Bavaria, Jeanne de Belleville, Jacqueline of Hainault, Jeanne de Penthievre , Marie de Bourbon, etc, etc - and women and girls were sometimes accepted by the medieval Church as valid mystics or visionaries - e.g. St. Catherine of Siena, St. Brigitta Birgirsdottir, St. Colette de Corbie, etc, - so it isn't remotely true that women could only serve as housewives. Joan of Arc's role was as a religious visionary after she was sent by Charles VII to be examined by the clergy at Poitiers in April 1429 (including the Inquisitor for Southern France, Pierre Turelure), who gave her approval as a valid visionary and allowed Charles VII to make use of her as such. But she wasn't "Xena, Warrior Princess".
Even the mundane parts of this game (i.e. if we ignore the monsters) are not remotely based on the life of Joan of Arc. For example. she said bluntly (during the fourth session of her trial) that she didn’t fight in combat but instead carried her banner in battle, confirmed by numerous eyewitness accounts; but the game shows her fighting.
