If I see 1 more person say that Eirika didn’t have a character or character development in Sacred Stones, I WILL bite them. I hate the flanderized character that Eirika has been portrayed as in recent years, and a large part is due to her FEH mischaracterization that has carried over to even mainline titles (Engage). I feel like even a few years earlier in Warriors she would’ve been portrayed right which says a lot about recent times…
Eirika is 1 of my favorite Lords and even in general characters in the franchise. It’s disappointing and rly sad whenever I see ppl downplay her arc in FE8 out of sheer ignorance of not playing it or FEH’s dominant mischaracterization spreading to even diehards of the GBA games. I feel like it’s especially notable now doe cause she just got another Ephraim based alt in FEH. Brave was fine, but seriously??? She couldn’t even steal from Tana’s wardrobe?????? Like that girl did not travel to Frelia constantly as a child just to see Innes and Tana just for spinoff material to downplay the Frelia’s siblings importance to both Renais twins.
It’s just frustrating even doe I should expect it at this point. A major character point for Eirika in FE8 was not being stuck behind Ephraim’s shadow and seen as the “weak naïve princess”. But here we are over a decade later with IS flanderizing Eirika to be just that.
