I really, sincerely hate Ephraim. I have yet to play Ephraim route but his stupid face makes me want to kill someone. Fe8 could've been such a great feminist story, where the hero is a woman who doesn't exist in the shadow of male characters but no!!! They decided to have Ephraim!!! WHY!! IT COULD'VE JUST AS EASILY BEEN A LITTLE TEAM OF SOLDIERS LEAD BY SOME NOBLE GUY FROM RENAIS BUT NOOOOO they just HAD to take attention away from Eirika. My friend who has played Ephraim mode insists it has important lore but guess what. I would bet two ribs that you could just as easily have all that lore by extending the game to be 30~ chapters like most other games in the series. There's no reason for Ephraim to exist but fulfill some qouta that every game has to have a male protag. And then in feh they completely ignore Eirika's entire thing of being a strong independent woman by making her an accessory to Ephraim!! And you know what the worst part is? Because Eirika has a brother, it is impossible to look at fe8 content without seeing deeply upsetting incest crap. Best case scenario, you just see some still awful shit of Lyon in a poly relationship with both of them but where they are not dating each other. Absolutely vile and I hate this fandom and the writers of fe8. The only silverlining is that Ephraim is a loser who had to have Eirika come save him but Eirika doesn't even get to have that victory because she would have been dead if it weren't for Seth noticing that Orson was suspicious as crap. Also final addition but they don't pronounce Ephraim's name correctly. In feh, Eirika says it as eh-frem when in fact it's pronounced as ee-fra-im. Dude is such a big failguy that they don't even get his name right.

Having Valter as your comfort character isn't fun
