You know, when you consider Azure Moon as a self-contained narrative, the use of ‘unanswered questions’ and ambiguity as a reinforcement of the themes of the route are really effective. I honestly think having the route not address the Slithers was the best narrative choice IntSys could possibly have made given the themes of Azure Moon.
Like. The developers didn’t really expect people to actually play all the routes; they designed the game so ‘everyone would have a different experience.’ As a result, all the routes have very different themes and scopes. Azure Moon is the tightest, most character-driven narrative despite not being the shortest route.
And Azure Moon is about grief.
Grief hangs over the entire route; except for Mercedes, every single one of the Blue Lions is haunted by the Tragedy of Duscur and the unanswered questions surrounding it. Felix loses his brother directly, and his worldview and best friend to the aftermath. Ingrid loses her fiance, but also her sense of security; without Glenn, her people may starve, and her personal future is now uncertain. Sylvain and Glenn were the same age, so we can assume they were friends, though his loss is less direct; Sylvain is surrounded by people broken by loss, including his own father. Annette’s father leaves her family in disgrace over being unable to stop the tragedy. Ashe loses his foster brother to the aftermath; and later his foster father as well.
Dimitri and Dedue lose everything.
All of them spend the whole route wanting to find answers and some kind of closure for this event. It drives the entire narrative for all of the Lions actually from Faerghus. Mercedes, meanwhile, stands as an outside observer to that tragedy - but she is also dealing with her own personal tragedy and unanswered questions about her brother, and that drives her during Azure Moon.
And the thing about grief is that sometimes you never get closure. But you still have to move on, anyway.
That’s the whole point of Azure Moon. Dimitri has to move on. All the Lions have to move on.
Mercedes cannot regain her brother, whether you find out his identity or not in the route. She has to move on anyway. Dimitri cannot reconcile with his family, not with Rufus (Did Dimitri kill him? We the viewer can never really know for sure) and not with Edelgard. He never finds out whether Patricia wanted to kill his father, or whether she loved Dimitri at all (and we the viewer don’t, either). He has to move on anyway. The Lions never find out the cause of the tragedy.
They have to move on anyway.
Involving the Slithers at that point would not only add a bunch of last-minute narrative complications that aren’t necessary in Azure Moon, it would undermine the emotional impact of the route (in much the same way the last map of Verdant Wind does, honestly). The themes of Azure Moon not only don’t need to answer the question of the Slithers; not answering that question is the point. Bringing up the Slithers at that point would take all the air out of the personal drama the route takes its entire runtime addressing.
Dimitri hesitates at the end. He stops, and tries to look back, and Byleth stops him. He has to move on. He can’t keep looking back at Duscur. He’s got to walk forward.
And that means leaving his questions unanswered.
#Fire Emblem Three Houses#FE3H#Blue Lions#Like honestly if you look at the route as the ONLY route you play#The story is incredibly well self-contained#In a way that also makes you want to play other routes!#Azure Moon IMO is really effective from an emotional impact perspective#Like. assuming you like deconstructions of Hamlet because that's what Azure Moon is lbr#Incidentally I personally don't think Dimitri actually killed Rufus....but I don't know!! He could have!! I will never know for sure.#That's the point.

edelgard is such an interesting character in the sense she can be both an amazing protagonist (if u go CF) and also easily one of the most interesting antagonists in the game between her goals and her/byleth being narrative parallels no matter what route meanwhile i feel like dimitri's potential only really gets utilized effectively in azure moon. his character arc in his own route is the most personally investing out of the house leaders imo while in other routes hes mainly just an OK secondary antagonist lol
him as the tempest king had some good ideas and implications but not really explored much sadly meanwhile he just gets killed offscreeen in verdant wind lmao
#always got the vibe blue lions was kinda the 'default' house for byleth w how many missions in academy phase focus on faerghus being shit#and theye pretty much the guaranteed underdog in war phase most of the time#i do enjoy rhea as the CF antagonist a lot! and also think its interesting the parallels between her feelings towards byleth#and dimitri's own feelings towards edelgard#but yea dimi himself is just. really kind of a lost cause in every route that isnt AM lol#i will say. i like him as an antag more than nemesis cuz man that guy got rushed af into the plot >_>

The only reason that I would tell you NOT to play Fire Emblem: Three Houses is that it might ruin voice acting for you forever. It’s just that good. There is no return.
#or if I suspect you’d be an Edelgard stan#jk jk#probably#but any of my mutuals who are even slightly into gaming listen listen listen to me you would LOVE this game#there is so much material for ethical/philosopical discourse ESPECIALLY in the blue lions route#fire emblem#fire emblem three houses#fe3h#three houses

fire emblem three houses has only been out for like 4 years now and yet the discourse about that game still manages to worm into my brain like a virus. Im talking abt political discourse btw not shipping stuff which is its own brand of annoying but ultimately ignorable to me (i have percie for that) Fire emblem three houses has dumb politics and all the fans want to make that my problem. Its incompetent at most times, and the routes wildly change the framing which makes people's opinions even MORE biased (of course you believe edelgard was right if you played the "Edelgard was Right" route)
#Genuinely people are arguing about completely different games when they try to say who was right or justified.#You know why the blue lions route is usually proclaimed as the route with the best story writing?#Because its character focused and not political plot focused.#Thats where three houses writing shines imo
