@Ragnarock38@princessxemnas It's FE, the side characters are never developed equally. Even in 3 Houses, many got waaaaay less screentime and attention than others. And plenty didn't have a real arc.
@Firaga555@Tomaek1309 Hopes is confirmed a canon branch. Sothis just had more of her memories and is more wrathful as a result, which aligns with what we see of her in 4W and what we know about her lore.
@quarebelle@gorororongggg You'll be fine. 3 Houses had 40+ characters and most FE games had even more than that. 4W's characters are all neatly divided up so it'll be easy to track.
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis "Takes over" There were literally no other parties left and uniting Fodlan brought change and prosperity as highlighted by all routes. Almyra stopped attacking for a while and we have little information how Almyra was even doing, clearly fine enough since they're open to co-exist
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis No it means Almyra has flaws, not that literally every human and faction there is a fucking cruel viking barbarian. That's dumb, your logic would mean EVERYONE and every belief in Fodlan is genocidal and racist. Claude engages his culture and doesn't want kids like Cyril forsaken
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis Extremely dumb point, we don't know shit about Almyra, they're more open to change than Fodlan would ever be since they weren't attacking a while by the time of the game, many troops from there aid Fodlan and VW + its ending proved they co-exist fine.
@GoldenFatalis@morningxroses Nah, they have supports. It'd be dumb if they were locked behind a paywall when we already play as them as guest units. DLC should be for new characters not repackaged old ones.
@SomeRandomTwit7@GoldenFatalis You ARE dismissing Cyril though. His whole point is that it's the culture that caused his treatment, that Almyra, like fodlan, operates under an unjust and cruel system, but your takeaway is still just "yeah but those people are just evil and evil exists everywhere" come ON 😭
@DerDieDas32@GoldenFatalis@infernifi888 Not saying they are, they are less advanced however going off the lore dumps. Unless they have their own Rheas, every nation being ahead just makes sense.
And it's an afterthought for the story to the point devs couldn't be assed to color the portraits of Dedue's ppl properly.
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis The fact that we're even comparing Almyra to a cartoonish one dimensional poorly written nation from Awakening shows how much we lost the plot. Dagda and various other nations did just fine, skill issue on Fodlan's end.
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis Almyra, just like Dagda and Fodlan, would hae different factions, differing ways of life and be a massive place in general since the treatment of Cyril and kids like him never got noticed by Khalid. That doesn't make Almyra as a whole bad, flawed sure but we haven't even seen it.
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis No, the big countries and locales consist of various ppl with various opinions, especially in games where it's writing is actually worth a damn (aka not Awakening LOL). I'm not dismissing Cyril, there's evil people in Almyra just like in Fodlan. Generalization is bad however.
@Flamingweeaboo@GoldenFatalis Different varying accounts from Claude and Nader. And frankly, an entire continent of MANY people resembling one rigid belief is not how countries work in Fire Emblem lol. That's not how people or chars work either. That's like using Faerghus to represent the entirety of Fodlan.
@ImperialZink@SonicHero3D They could since Koei is agreeable and was added immediately into Cipher: another in-house project exactly like FEH, they just didn't care for the Warrior Twins.
