    Awakening crippled the oldgays. Fates killed them. Echoes attempted to revive them, but Three Houses intervened, double tapping and replacing the oldgays with Nu-Fire Emblem troons and schizos.

    Then Three Hopes came out, both betraying and crippling the 3housegays for no reason because the devs are psychotic. Now Xenoverse 3 came out and has led the remaining sane FEgays away to harem paradise. FE todayis only left with troons, schizos, masochists and gachaBlack folk.

        Honestly, after 3 hopes I want this series to sink for fricking good. I want the devs that made the game to actively go bankrupt and never have a job IN story writing again.

        [...]
        three hopes basically shits on any die-hard fan of houses by completely neglecting it's golden route. It took all of it's characters and made an insane AU where Claude murders Rhea, makes himself King of Leicester and everyone bows down to him, no questions asked. The other routes are subjective. If you liked Edelgard, you'll like her in her route. If you liked Dimitri, you'll like him in his route. But you will absolutely DESPISE the opposing route of what you chose if you decide to play them.
        Also the new self-insert they put in is uninspired and honestly just feels like a dev's deviantart OC put in the game. I had to play as the girl to make the game somewhat bearable because the boy was just too on the nose as a purple haired kirito. They're basically a shounen protag who can beat everyone in single combat all at once (seriously, they make it into a paralogue where the mock battle is just the new protag against all three classes.)

        TLDR on three hopes?

        • 2 years ago
          Anonymous

          So in Houses each lord, for better or worse, had a very clear thing that they wanted or were working through. For Edelgard it's reclaiming all that land lost through a millennium of w[REDACTED] Putting an end to the behind the scenes conflict between 2 ancient races that enabled the Crest system and all the tragedy that goes with it. For Dimitri it was finding his family's killers. And for Claude it was finding the secrets of Fodlan so that he can broker peace between the two nations that birthed him. By and large this is what the characters want and the specifics of how they get to that goal vary based on route.

          Hopes is... different. We get a lot of extra information that's really good but the reactions of the leaders comes off as strange in the best of times and fricking moronic at the worst of times. For example Dimitri was never a particularly devout believer in the church in Houses. But he didn't have a problem with the church either, he defended them because it was the right thing to do and because he was under the impression that the Empire murdered his family so enemy of my enemy. That's mostly retained in Hopes but in a private conversation with Claude he reveals that he actually personally agrees with Claude that the church should die. And we'll get to Claude in a minute but bear in mind: he's having this conversation with Claude and Edelgard AFTER they killed several Blue Lions. He wanted to burn down all of Enbarr because he thought they killed his mother. He should be losing his shit at this point. Speaking of Claude, Claude never trusted the church but he was the most even handed Lord in Houses. He at least wanted to hear Rhea out. But in Hopes he's Edelgard but with even less reasoning. He wants to kill Rhea just to see what the world would look like without her. That's the reason. Remember how Claude randomly killing everyone in Grondor Field made no sense? That's canon now. He just didn't give a frick so everyone gets to die.

              Yeah that's sort of a thing but not really. There isn't really shipping in Hopes. Most you get if a couple flirtatious lines but nothing like what was in other games. There are some weirdos that self insert into Byleth so the fact that they're presented as the antagonist for 2/3rds of the game means they don't get that much room for shipping. But that doesn't stop those people from being viciously angry that their self insert can't frick their waifu from the alternate timeline in Houses. Which makes about as much sense as people being angry that Claude isn't gay or that Ingrid not being bi or otherwise not wanting to frick Dorothea means she's homophobic. The game has way more legitimate problems. Shipping is way lower on the priority list.

        Map design sucked, most characters weren't all that notable (though the ones that stood out were really good), and the story isn't complex enough to warrant continuous threads. There's only so much to talk about when the only two outstanding parts of your game are the art and music.
        It's a blessing in disguise when discussion for an FE game actually dies down here instead of carrying on as a lifeless corpse reanimated and paraded around by autistic ritualposters.

          Homos aren't inherently bad, they're not drag/butch tier homos, and they're never pushed to be homosexual in your face. In fact, Ingrid actually shutdown down Dorothea hard in their support convos and most of the gay male scenes are "let's be best buds, no homosexual bro".

    Personally I think it was the greater focus on character customization and twinking with reclassing and per-class growth rates and more skills, people already would reset if they got characters killed even though there are others on the bench + the game will throw more at you later but now the games are like totally "carried" by their characters in the eyes of many while making things more difficult to balance due to the plethora of player choices. Doubt they will go backwards from here though, kind of crossed the event-horizon.

    Loved the gameplay of Conquest but I skip through the story as much as possible or else it will make me want to stop playing. It is fricking horrible. Echoes had a top tier artstyle, and the music was good and dungeons were fun. Never touched Three Houses because the artstyle looks like shit and it looks like it focuses too much on character relationships.

      I don't get what's so wrong about being able to customize your units. Maybe some people like theory crafting teams? They all have "canon" roles that they ask to get trained in by default anyway.

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        The problem is that, by giving the players so much freedom to customize their roster, they now have to design the maps and mission objectives so that essentially any roster composition could beat it. The end result is that almost every map across all 4 routes plays the same, and the rare times when your comp might make a difference, it's only for an optional secondary objective anyway.

        The DLC campaign in Three Houses greatly restricted the customization options you had for your squad, and it allowed them to make each mission much more unique because they could anticipate what tools the player would have to work with.

        Why do people keep saying this? The political bickering of the Leicester Alliance during wartime was detrimental as they had to convene and argue about every move to make. It's brought up a few times by several different characters in Golden Wildfire.

        And him making himself King? The other 4 houses voted him to lead.

    These days, I can't help but wonder what 'Golden Route-phobe's' reaction was to Hopes when it released.
    For those who didn't know: some anon was shitting on Hopes every time it was mentioned after reveal, so wienersure were they that it was a 'golden route' that would 'invalidate all the stakes that we put on the line in Houses', and that it should be boycotted.
    Well...I mean, it was far from a perfect game, but it sure as hell wasn't a golden route(though it did shit on Houses in a lot of ways).

        Fair enough, though I still think calling it a 'character assassination' is a stretch. I just looked at it all as a 'convenient butterfly effect'. Not the worst story mechanic that's been used in media.
