#i'm so dreading those remakes you have no idea anon

[randomnameless]

Another bad thing about a potential Jugdral remake is that i can guarantee IS would woobiefy the fuck out of Reinhardt, if the way he's been written in FEH (with the sole exception of his base version) is any indication, with there even being a small, nightmare possibility that they might make him recruitable in Thracia so he can survive the game after defecting and joining Leif.

And I hate it, because woobifying Reinhardt comes at the expense of Olwen's development and, imo, Amalda's existence.

Rein is a pitiful man who favours his duty (heavily implied to be romantic in nature) to his Lord rather than duty to randos - something Olwen can refuse, she might have had admired her brother and be proud to be a Freege Commander, when children are being hunted and locked in cells, she defects to protect and save them.

Amalda can die (as in you don't recruit her), but she's introduced as a NPC who wacks bandits trying to enslave villagers, and later seen mourning about her former ideals, as if she joined the Empire because she believed in Arvis' words but now it has become something she cannot condone anymore - much like Eldie, Amalda tries to talk to her Lord and have him stop hunting children and do whatever the Empire does in Manster, only to be laughed at (but at least she doesn't die).

Ultimately, we learn in her recruitment map that she doesn't stay in the Empire because of traditional Camus reasons, but because she fears for her soldier's lives if she were to defect - and this is shown in her recruitment mechanic, her platoon turns green when she is recruited and is, most likely, slaughtered by the rest of the Granvallian Army.

Hell, fwiw, Ishtar herself, in FE5, tries to ask Julius to stop with the child hunts - only to be rebuked, just like Amalda tries to plead her cause to Gustav, the loser sitting in Leonster.

Meanwhile, Rein follows Ishtar everywhere, and loses his will to fight (and live) not when he discovers children and kidnapped or his Empire is doing nonsense, but when... Ishtar - for his own protection - casts him away.

Who is the real second coming of Crusader Tordo, Reinhardt who mops because he cannot be by Ishtar's side and because he isn't a role model to Olwen anymore - or Amalda (and Olwen!) who protects innocents and mops because she cannot save her soldiers and children at the same time ?

it's just a coincidence her hair is grey like Kempf who also claims to be from the Freege family

The devs didn't make a mistake by making her recruitable, when Reinhardt isn't - and I would hate for an eventual remake to write her out of the story to give her feats and presence to him, or just straight out erase her to make Rein look better by the lack of comparison.

But FEH built a meme out of Reinhardt, when, despite her boobs, Amalda wasn't added yet so I wouldn't be surprised if her role is ultimately given to Reinhardt in an eventual remake (would he also talk to Ralph, or would Ralph be written out too?).
