#we had the Bernie'n'chair controversy edit

[randomnameless]

On the Alois/Noble post (not that anon btw) voted for the guy getting fired‚ so I don't have to give a serious answer (lol). However‚ correct me if I'm wrong the Noble and Commoner classes have 0 differences gameplay-wise? Maybe he had an altered backstory that wasn't updated for gameplay‚ maybe it was a mistake that was low priority that they forgot to change it (though Idk why you wouldn't change it immediately‚ not a game dev or programmer). [Or maybe it's 10k years of lore(!) and he descends from an ancient Embarr family! His parents would've told him about how they fell from nobility‚ and how they will reclaim their ancient status‚ land‚ and power (through the help of the dubstep wizards)! /j]

Yeah they don't have any difference, save for some fluff that was "more or less" tied to the subplot "commoners vs nobles" etc etc

But since this never went anywhere... I mean, you can get harmless fluff, look I'm nerding and being amazed at Unicorn Overlord changing banners depending on which leader you pick in an unit - it's harmless fluff.

And then you have this supposed "harmless" fluff the basically spells out how the devs didn't finish their game, nor had enough care about it to iron out the details for the playable cast - sure Alois wasn't as marketed as Linhardt, but damn. This thing - giving him the "noble" background class when his support and story reveal he should have been in the "commoner" class is... reminiscent of Hilda's sudden major Dain Blood in FE4's last chapter.

I'm willing to give FE4 some slack because it feels like a coding error and it's just one (a glaring one!) little blooper, but for a game delayed for at least a year released in 2019 it's... I mean, they had time to add a trillion cats and add Anna - who doesn't bring anything to the table as a character - in a DLC, but couldn't edit this background changing detail about Alois?

It makes me think of the outcry FEH had when they released Harmonic!Leanne'n'Azura, with people rightfully pointing out that Leanne's ears were round when, as a bird laguz, it should pointy

"who cares it's just an ear lol" "they basically changed her race, and in her game, it's supposed to be something really really important"

Oh well, enough negativity.

10k years of lore will reveal that Alois was sekritly a descendant of Willy's 120 children, the main Hresvelg branch tried to weed out their family line but those things never totally work (hell it's the plot of FE4!) and thus Alois and Supreme Leader are totes related because they shared a common ancestor 750 years ago.

Borrowing your hc, his parents knew - somehow - they were supposed to be more than mere merchants living in Faerghus, but they were attacked by a Giant Wolf and thus young Alois became an orphan. The nun who registered him recognised his family somehow, and knew he was a "noble" but decided to never reveal him the truth. This nun would sekritly be a cardinal, and reported to Rhea that a "Hresvelg" popped up at the Monastery, which prompted her to check and give a young Alois an extra candy for his birthday, in Willy's memory.
