#The Goldoan fam had siblings but it's played for drama and they don't really interact with each other

I swear if it weren't for the self-insert, dating sim nonsense, this franchise would have died with Awakening. Good grief. Sometimes I wish it died with Tellius on that day. But, I wouldn't have gotten Marianne, Dwyer and Lucina though :( Sigh

Well...

You pointed it out, even if there are a lot of things we don't really like about the post Awakening games (FE13 included) there are still things we do like!

And if FE really died after Tellius/the Archanea remakes, then we wouldn't have them!

Not to say other games had "nothing" problematic, I rambled enough about FE Tellius and its message regarding "coexistence between Laguz and Beorcs".

While I was a bit worried about adding a "futuristic civilisation" in the FE series, the Nabatean and Agarthan debacle and subsequent war is really something fresh and something I find interesting. Relics being a subversion from Jugdral's HW? Good. Nabateans post-Zanado hiding for fear of being terminated but still trying to help people, as best as they can, because they love Fodlan and its people? Nice, 10/10. Tellius AU where Lehran had a renewed faith in Humanity after Serenes, only to lose it little by little, thinks only the Goddess can lead Tellius and its people to prosperity but doesn't think terminating the world is the best solution, so he tries to find roundabout ways to reinstall Ashunera? Only for Sanaki to barge in with her imperial army asking him to die because his ears are pointy and he is not "human"?

Fodlan could have been great. Ideas are here and there.

It's just that IS decided to... shat a, at best, milquetoast story about saving the waifu of your choice, at worst, an offensive story with "artificial" stakes and a lot of player pandering to create parasocial relationships that will make player spend money on FEH.

Now I know War of Heroes prequel/DLC will never be released, because it can't make Supreme Leader/Puppet look completely off the base regarding "reforms" and the state of the world, even if they depict her glorious ancestor as the chadest chad who ever chaded out in the universe, or who tried to apply those very same reforms she "apparently" wants to install, and how, it failed 1100 years later.

There's no "maybe they both believed in what they did and had valid points" to have with a guy who genocided a race, of the people who asked him to do so - even if I legit thought no one would ever play colonial propaganda from the 1930s straight

But hey, that's why we have fanfictions, and if anything, Fodlan is ripe with fanfic material - for the people who often browed r/atheism or think feudalism is all about people having swords, horses and a nobility title - but also for people who generally like stories about acceptance and mutual understanding despite differences, like the shape of their ears or technological advancement.

Y'know, what could have been if that game had better writing lol
